- Discussion: Transformation and Semantics
Transformation-based techniques such as refactoring, model transformation, architectural reconfiguration, etc. are at the heart of many software engineering activities, making it possible to cope with an ever changing environment. This workshop provides a forum for discussing these techniques, their formal foundations and applications.

The workshop is supported by the European Research Training Network SegraVis, the ERCIM Working Group on Software Evolution, and the French Working Group on Reverse Engineering, Maintenance and Software Evolution RIMEL.
Since its birth as a discipline in the late 60ies Software Engineering had to cope with the breakdown of many of its orginal assumptions.
Today we know that
- it is impossible to fix requirements up front;
- the design of the system is changing while it is being developed;
- the distinction between design time and run-time is increasingly blurred;
- a system's architecture will change or degrade while it is in use;
- technology will change more rapidly than it is possible to re-implement critical applications;
This recognition of lack of stability in software means that we have to cope with change, rather than defending against it. Processes, methods, languages, and tools have to be geared towards making change possible and cheap.
Transformations of development artifacts like specifications, designs, code, or run-time architectures are at the heart of many software engineering activities. Their systematic specification and implementation are the basis for a wide range of tools, from compilers and refactoring tools to model-driven CASE tools and formal verification environments. The workshop provides a forum for the discussion transformation-based techniques in software evolution.
Topics of interest include transformation formalisms and languages like
- program transformation
- model transformation
- graph transformation
- term rewriting
and their application to software evolution activities
- model-driven develpoment
- model and code refactoring, redesign and code optimisation
- reverse engineering, pattern detection, architecture recovery
- architectural reconfiguration, self-organising or self-healing systems, service-oriented architectures
- consistency management, co-evolution of models and code

- Submission of abstracts: 25 June 2006
- Submission of papers: 1 July 2006
- Notification: 24 July 2006
- Revised Version: 15 August 2006
- Workshop: 21 (afternoon) and 22 September 2006
We solicit submissions of papers in two categories:
- Position papers of up to 5 pages are expected to make a clear problem statement and to discuss original methodology and experience, as well as open issues of the proposed research.
- Technical papers may have up to 12 pages and are judged, in addition, w.r.t. their technical contribution.
Accepted contributions will appear in the Electronic Communications of EASST, the European Association of Software Science and Technology. Please use the appriate styles style for authors.
A preliminary version of the issue will be available at the workshop. Depending on the overall quality, the most promising papers may be invited to contribute to a special issue of a journal.
Submission should be in PDF format. Due to technical problems with the online system, submission is by email in two stages.
For technical support : please contact Thu-Minh Nguyen, One Tree Technology - University of Grenoble.
