  SSR'95 is the 1995 biyearly Symposium on Software Reusability that is
  conducted in affiliation with the International Conference on Software
  Engineering (ICSE-17).

  The objective of this symposium is to provide a forum for academics and
  practitioners in the areas related to software reusability to exchange
  research results, development activities, and application experience
  reports.

  Unpublished and original state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice papers
  relevant to the symposium themes, as well as panel and tutorial proposals,
  are solicited.

  RELEVANT TOPICS INCLUDE:
  -----------------------
  - Application Generators,
  - Automatic Programming,
  - Case Studies and Experience Reports,
  - Component Repositories,
  - Domain Analysis and Engineering,
  - Domain Specific Kits,
  - Industrial Experience and Assessment,
  - Interface Issues in Software Parts Technology,
  - Management of Uncertainty in Software Reuse,
  - Module Interface/Interconnection Languages,
  - Program Transformation,
  - Parameterized Programming,
  - Quantification of Reuse Potential and Measurement of Reuse,
  - Re-engineering,
  - Reverse Engineering,
  - Reuse Environments,
  - Software Classification and Identification.

  Also, the reusability aspects of the following areas:

  -- AI and Expert Systems;
  -- CASE Tools;
  -- Economic Issues and Software Trade;
  -- Management and Policy Issues;
  -- Mega Programming;
  -- Network Information Services;
  -- Object-Oriented Analysis, Design, and Programming;
  -- Software Case Based Reasoning;
  -- Version/Configuration Management.

  GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION
  -------------------------
  Several categories of papers will be considered for presentation and
  publication including: (1) Original and unpublished research articles,
  (2) Reports of applications in business, government, industry, arts,
  sciences, and engineering, (3) Reports of successful reuse technology
  transfer to new problem domains, and (4) Position papers of
  on-going research efforts with preliminary results, substantial reuse
  experiences underway, or significant reuse experiments in progress.

  All papers should clearly indicate what is new and significant about the
  presented work in comparison to the existing related body of work.  The
  submitted papers must primarily consist of material not previously
  presented in or currently awaiting acceptance to another formal forum.
  Accepted papers will be published in the ACM/SSR'95 Proceedings to be
  printed by the ACM Press. Authors who feel their manuscripts can benefit
  a more general audience are encouraged to submit their papers to ICSE.
  ICSE-17 and SSR will cooperate in scheduling overlapping papers and
  sessions in a way convenient for those participants intending to attend
  both meetings.

  - Submit 6 copies of the manuscript to the Symposium Program Chair.
  - The body of the paper should not exceed 6,000 words (approximately
    20 double-spaced pages). Position papers should not exceed 3,000
    words (approximately 10 double-spaced pages).
  - A separate cover sheet should be enclosed containing the title of the
    paper, the author(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including the
    e-mail address and fax number, if available) to which correspondence
    should be sent.
  - Panel and tutorial proposals must include a three-page abstract of the
    topics, including an outline, and a copy of the resume/vita of the
    participant(s).
