This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 46th International Conference on Objects, Components, Models and Patterns, TOOLS EUROPE 2008, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in June/July 2008. The 21 papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. TOOLS played a major role in the spread of object-oriented and component technologies. It has now broadened its scope beyond the original topics of object technology and component-based development to encompass all modern, practical approaches to software development. At the same time, TOOLS kept its traditional spirit of technical excellence, its acclaimed focus on practicality, its well-proven combination of theory and applications, and its reliance on the best experts from academia and industry.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 47th International Conference on Objects, Components, Models and Patterns, TOOLS EUROPE 2009, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in June/July 2009. TOOLS has played a major role in the spread of object-oriented and component technologies. It has now broadened its scope beyond the original topics of object technology and component-based development to encompass all modern, practical approaches to software development. At the same time, TOOLS has kept its traditional spirit of technical excellence, its acclaimed focus on practicality, its well-proven combination of theory and applications, and its reliance on the best experts from academia and industry. The 17 regular papers and two short papers presented in this book, together with two invited papers, were carefully reviewed and selected from 67 submissions. The topics covered in this volume are reflection and aspects, models, theory, components, monitoring, and systems generation.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 49th International Conference on Objects, Models, Components, Patterns, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in June 2011. The 19 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 68 submissions. The papers discuss all aspects of object technology and related fields, in particular model-based development, component-based development, language implementation and patterns, in a holistic way. The conference has a strong practical bias, without losing sight of the importance of correctness and performance.

Martin Fowler is a consultant specializing in object-oriented analysis and design. This book presents and discusses a number of object models derived from various problem domains. All patterns and models presented have been derived from the author's own consulting work and are based on real business cases.

Using the Catalysis approach, Objects, Components, and Frameworks with UMLdetails the recurring patterns within UML. Catalysis is a rapidly emerging UML-based method for component and framework-based development with objects, and it is gaining popularity because it allows developers to more easily build business models, requirement specs, designs, and code. The authors describe a unique UML-based approach to precise specification of component interfaces using a type model. By identifying patterns in this notational language, the authors provide application developers and system architects with well-defined and reusable techniques that help them build open distributed object systems from components and frameworks. Expected Availability: September 1998

This book presents a set of principles for designing frameworks and practical techniques for adapting them efficiently. It also describes how UML may be used to model frameworks and their applications and proposes a set of extensions to the UML which apply specifically to framework design.

The 2010 Symposium on Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE 2010) was the 13th in a series of successful events that have grown into the main forum for industrial and academic experts to discuss component technology. CBSE is concerned with the development of software-intensive systems from - dependently developed software-building blocks (components), the development of components, and system maintenance and improvement by means of com- nent replacement and customization. The aim of the conference is to promote a science and technology foundation for achieving predictable quality in software systems through the use of software component technology and its associated software engineering practices. In line with a broad interest, CBSE 2010 received 48 submissions. From these submissions, 14 were accepted after a careful peer-review process followed by an online program committee discussion. This resulted in an acceptance rate of 29%. The selected technical papers are published in this volume. For the fourth time, CBSE 2010 was held as part of the conference series: Fed- ated Events on Component-Based Software Engineering and Software Archit- ture (COMPARCH). The federated events were: the 13th International S- posium on Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE 2010), the 6th - ternational Conference on the Quality of Software Architectures (QoSA 2010), andthe1stInternationalSymposium onArchitecting CriticalSystems(ISARCS 2010). Together with COMPARCH’s Industrial Experience Report Track and the co-located Workshop on Component-Oriented Programming (WCOP 2010), COMPARCH provided a broad spectrum of events related to components and architectures.
