Developing software using patterns > holds the promise to reduce the cost and condensing the time of developing > software systems, while simultaneously maintaining the quality of these > systems. > > However, the potential of using patterns in developing systems is not > fully realized and we need to address many challenges. For example, > developing pattern repositories and catalogs, from which patterns can be > retrieved and reused, still forms a challenge to software engineering, > knowledge engineering and information systems communities. In addition, the > need for (semi-) automated approaches for patterns mining and integration > poses several open research questions to the software engineering community. > Many think these challenges and others preclude the realization of the > benefit of patterns as a reuse approach. This workshop aims at bringing > together researchers and practitioners who are interested in resolving > research challenges or who have practical experience with the different > issues of patterns reuse and integration to discuss and advance the > state-of-the-art and the state-of-the-practice in patterns reuse. > > Patterns have emerged as a promising reuse technique for both improving > the quality and reducing the cost and time of software development. However, > there is an immense belief that patterns have not fulfilled the expectations > software developers wanted. Nevertheless, this belief does not rebuff the > fact that patterns, as a concept, have the potential to play a key role in > developing systems in the near future. This near future will never come > unless there are serious attempts from both developers and researchers to > investigate and provide creative solutions to current challenges that hinder > utilizing patterns in practice. Among these challenges, this workshop > focuses on investigating how to develop systems using patterns. We are sure > that this topic will attract many developers and researchers in the field to > participate in this workshop. > > *WORKSHOP CHALLENGES* > > > > The workshop will address software patterns challenges and debate several > issues related to the following questions.

Leaving experience claim on the side, can you show how to create > and develop patterns? > > b. What are the bases of creating patterns? > > c. Are there guidelines, methodologies, and/or processes for > pattern creations and developments? > > d. Would you show an example or two? > > > > *II. **Patterns Selection Process: * > > a. How does one select analysis and design patterns to build any > system? > > b. What is the basis for selecting these patterns? > > c. If someone would like to build a system from patterns, how does > she select patterns? > > d. What kind of patterns should one select to build a system from > patterns? > > e. Is there a guideline for the selection process? > > > > *III. **Patterns Composition* > > a. How does one integrate the selected patterns to build any > system? or How does one compose any system from patterns? > > b. What are the various claims related to patterns composition?

Through the use of mobile devices and devices embedded in the surrounding physical environments, users can be provided transparent computing and communication services at all times and in all places. The complexity of providing such services stems from the fact that the communication devices and the objects with which they interact may both be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services, and an understanding of the cross-layer interactions between all of these components. The Fourth Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (Mobiquitous-07) will provide a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions, design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences needed to build successful ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents, data management and services, all with special focus on mobility and ubiquitous computing. PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. Technical papers clearly identifying how the specific contributions fit to an overall working solution are particularly of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following feature topics as applied to mobile and ubiquitous environments: - Ubiquitous architectures, systems and applications - Wearable computing and personal area networks - Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous (Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x, WiFi) - Wireless Internet access in ubiquitous systems - Ad hoc and sensor networks support for ubiquitous computing - Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless networks - Wireless/mobile service management and delivery - Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems - Service and knowledge discovery, matching and composition mechanisms - Location-based services and tracking in ubiquitous environments - Context- and location-aware applications - Agent technologies in ubiquitous, wearable, and mobile systems - Context modeling, services and frameworks - Toolkits, testbeds, development environments, and languages for ubiquitous computing - Rapid prototyping of ubiquitous applications - Ontologies for mobile and ubiquitous computing - Mobile and ubiquitous data management and processing - Data replication, migration and dissemination in ubiquitous environments - Queries, transactions and workflows in mobile and ubiquitous environments - Multimodal interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile) SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically (see the conference web page for details).
