3rd Workshop on Assessment of Contemporary Modularization Techniques, Orlando, Vereinigte Staaten

Numerous modularization techniques have been developed to cope with complexity and increasing scale of software systems, such as Aspect–Oriented Software Development (AOSD) and Feature–Oriented Programming (FOP). Using these advanced modularization techniques, designers intend to achieve better changeability and adaptability through improved modularity. However, it remains unclear to what extent these new techniques have improved software productivity and maintainability in practice. It is even more challenging to determine their impact on closely–related emerging domains such as collaborative software engineering, ultra–large systems, cyber–physical systems and cloud computing. This workshop emphasizes the need for improving and pushing the boundaries on the assessment of modern modularization techniques, especially in the emerging domains of software development.
