Modern ICT solutions are often highly distributed and dynamic systems-of-systems (SoS). They provide critical backbone infrastructure for organizations, and are, therefore, increasingly subjected to stringent availability and dependability requirements. Availability implies that SoS must be reconfigured, updated, and otherwise maintained during runtime while retaining their overall operational integrity. This requires that much of the adaptation, integration, configuration, and testing activities typically performed offline during development time, now have to be done on-line, during runtime.
SCOPE
The goal of this workshop is to bring researchers from academia and practitioners from industry together, who are interested in the domain of runtime software integration and evolution.
Three types of papers are solicited
* Long paper: 8 page (max) papers presenting ongoing research on the topics of interest
* Short paper: 4 page (max) position paper presenting preliminary work, or demonstrations of tools and platform support for runtime integration and evolution
* Industry Challenges paper: 4 page (max) problem statement from the relevant domains; at least one author should have an affiliation with industry
All contributions will be published with copyright in the ACM Digital Library. The content of the contributions must be original. Any portion of the contribution submitted to this workshop must not have been previously published or accepted for publication, nor can it be under consideration for publication elsewhere during the review period.
Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format in the ESEC/FSE proceedings format (ACM format), without any author names or affiliations, using the Easychair submission system. Papers will be blind-reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee.
At least one of the authors of each accepted paper has to register and present the paper at the workshop.

* Notification of acceptance: June 19th, 2009
