Call For Participation (PDF version)
AAA 2006 is the first Astrenet Aspect Analysis workshop, a workshop that brings together the Aspect Oriented Software Development community and the community currently gathered under the ASTReNet network namely: Program Analysis, Slicing and Transformation. The workshop, held in Benevento, Italy, brings together these two groups to listen to expert researchers, panelists and keynotes and to discuss state-of-the-art tools, techniques and ideas from both industry and academia to both consolidate pre-existing research and inspire new research ideas.
Aspect oriented software development is a recent fundamental step towards the goal of flexible, adaptable, evolvable software systems. Program analysis, slicing and transformation are now well-established areas providing information that can be used to understand and develop computer systems. The overlap of these two areas provides an opportunity to inject ideas and enthusiasm into the respective fields.
Purpose
The aims of the workshop include: fostering interest within the analysis, transformation and slicing community in aspect oriented software development and the problems of analysing aspect oriented programs, and enhancing the general understanding of aspect oriented programming languages.
Keynote Speakers
We have two distinguished keynote speakers presenting current aspects of their expertise:
Matthew Webster from the cutting-edge Java Technologies Group at IBM, Hursley, UK who will be giving us insight into the aspect oriented approach from a higher level with his keynote address "AOSD: divining not mining"
Professor Oege de Moor, from the Computing Laboratories at Oxford University, UK with his keynote entitled "Datalog pointcuts: static analysis in aspects".

Research Track
The Aspect Oriented Analysis research track gives the opportunity for well known researchers to present new ideas and techniques from academia. The high quality research papers presented have been reviewed by at least three referees.
CCC Panel
A CCC (CrossCutting Concern) panel will discuss how to address the issues of crosscutting concerns in existing code, how to provide consistent and systematic approaches to identify these concerns and then migrate them to aspect oriented solutions. The panel will bring together questions and opinions from interested parties and experts in aspect oriented software development and reverse engineering.
Social Event
The social event in the evening will provide the ideal forum for continuation of discussions and networking after the workshop.
Venue
Benevento is a town and comune of Campania, Italy, capital of the province of Benevento, 50 km northeast of Naples. It is situated on a hill 130 m (300 ft) above sea-level at the confluence of the Calore and Sabbato. It is also the seat of a Catholic archbishopric. Benevento occupies the site of the ancient Beneventum, originally Maleventum or more correctly Maloeis (derived from the Greek word for apple malon). The Romans' theory that it meant "the site of bad wind" is no longer considered by historians today.
