2nd Call for Papers

==============

ICSE'06 Workshop
2nd International Workshop on Advances and Applications of Problem Frames
(IWAAPF'06)
Shanghai, China - May 23rd, 2006

==============

Problem Frames are a promising approach to early life-cycle software engineering. Their focus moves the engineer back to the problem to be solved rather than forward to the software and premature solution of a poorly defined problem. The influence of the Problem Frames approach and related work is spreading in the fields of domain modelling, business process modelling, requirements engineering, and software architecture as well as in software engineering in general. The 2nd International Workshop on Advances and Applications of Problem Frames will continue the success of IWAAPF'04, held at ICSE'04. IWAAPF'04 attracted 35 attendees and resulted in a highly successful workshop, one major outcome being a special issue on Problem Frames of the international journal Information and Software Technology.


Workshop Objectives
- To understand and improve upon the current state of practice of the Problem Frames approach in industry, research and education.
- To report on the investigation and development of new applications for Problem Frames.
- To report on the empirical evaluation of the Problem Frames approach.
- To continue to bring the Problem Frames research and practice communities closer together.

==============

Submissions

All submitted papers must involve or address or consider the Problem Frames approach. We would especially encourage real world application and experience of problem frames. Papers should relate to, but are not restricted to, the following topics:
o foundations of Problem Frames
o Problem Frames and requirements quality
o applications of Problem Frames
o Problem Frames for describing business needs
o Problem Frames within software development processes
o relating problem and solution structures via Problem Frames
o empirical and comparative evaluations of Problem Frames
o feature-based development with Problem Frames

Papers should be submitted electronically in pdf format to J.G.Hall@open.ac.uk. Subject line should read: "IWAAPF'06 submission".
Paper Formats and Evaluation

We invite:
1. Full research papers (IEEE format, 10 sides max.)
2. Short papers
a. Industry experience papers (IEEE format, 6 sides max.)
b. Research position papers (IEEE format, 6 sides max.)
All papers will be peer reviewed by members of the program committee.
Detailed review comments will be returned to authors on the notification date.

The IWAAPF workshop proceedings will be published together with the ICSE conference proceedings.
