> *THEME OF THE WORKSHOP*
>
> As software increases in size and becomes more complex and costly, the
> need for techniques to ease software development is likewise increasing.
> Over the last decade, pattern community has evolved and received more
> interest in both academia and industry. 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. We want researchers, framework
> developers, and application developers to discuss and debate the following
> questions related to:
>
> *I. **Pattern Creation and Development*
>
> a. 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? Are
> they true?
>
> c. Are there guidelines or techniques for patterns composition?
> Would you illustrate how to use them?
>
>
>
> *IV. **System of Patterns and General Reuse*
>
> a. What do we mean when we say "systems of patterns"?
>
> b. Are the various claims related to building any system from
> patterns reasonable?
>
> c. How to develop pattern repositories and catalogs, from which
> patterns can be retrieved and reused?
>
> d. Are there automated approaches for patterns mining and
> integration?
>
> e. What other concepts will help build any system from patterns?
>
> .
>
> *V. **Impacts*

> *PROPOSED AGENDA*
>
>
>
> 1. Welcome and introduction of participants. The organizers will first
> give a short overview of any open issues and of the main arguments arising
> out of the position papers. (Estimated time: 20-30 minutes)
>
> 2. Selected authors (representing the main trends) will be given 20
> minutes to explain how their position relates to other positions and what
> each sees as the three major issues. We expect about 5-10 position papers.
> (Estimated time: 120-130 minutes)
>
> 3. The organizers will propose an identification of the major issues, and
> the participants will then discuss and select what they think are the
> hottest issues to be examined. (Estimated time: 10-15 minutes)
>
> 4. The participants will work for 70-95 minutes in small groups, with a
> designated moderator in each group. The groups will each deal with two
> different hot issues identified and will produce a summary in the form of
> points and counterpoints, showing either how several views are irreducibly
> opposed or how they are complementary.
>
> The number of groups will depend on the number of participants and number
> of issues selected; ideally there should be 3-5 p people in each group.
> (Estimated time: 60-70 minutes)
>
> 5. Each group will be given 10-15 minutes to present its findings to the
> workshop. A closing discussion will follow. The workshop report will be
> written on the basis of these findings and will include an agenda for future
> exploration and cooperation; it will be made available through the WWW and
> FTP. (Estimated time: 50-60 minutes for five teams)
>
> (Total estimated time: 285-315 minutes, i.e. about five hours +/- 15
> minutes; lunch and breaks are not included.)

The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a
promising new paradigm. 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
