3rd workshop on assessment of contemporary modularization techniques (ACoM 2009)

Contemporary modularization techniques, such as Aspect-Oriented Programming and Feature-Oriented Programming, allow designers to improve changeability and adaptability. However, the impact of advanced modularization techniques on productivity and quality remains unclear. This workshop emphasizes the need to improve the assessment of modern modularization techniques, particularly in the emerging domains of collaborative software engineering, ultra-large systems, cyber-physical systems, and cloud computing. The purpose of the 3rd ACoM workshop is (i) stimulate innovative ideas of modularity assessment methods; (ii) solicit experience reports from practitioners to understand the impact of contemporary modularization techniques; (iii) discuss the impact of assessment techniques; (iv) understand the applicability of assessment techniques; and (v) foster collaboration between practitioners and researchers.
