TOOLS EUROPE 2011 is part of the
TOOLS Conference Series, a
unique concentration of software conferences which also includes the
International Conference
on Model Transformation (ICMT 2011),
Software Composition
(SC 2011) and
Tests And
Proofs (TAP 2011), as well as several outstanding
workshops such
as the Transformation Tool Contest, the Eiffel Community Workshop, Dynamic
Languages, Model Comparison in Practice, Algebraic Methods in Model-Based
Software Engineering, OCL and Textual Modeling, Model Transformation in ATL, and
Reflection, AOP and Metadata for Software Evolution.

Introduction to TOOLS Europe 2011 |
Now that object technology is mainstream, it can be studied
in combination with other technologies devoted to achieving high quality
software. TOOLS EUROPE is a long standing conference that brings together
researchers, practitioners and students to discuss objects, models, components,
patterns, languages and systems in a holistic way. TOOLS has a strong practical
bias, without losing sight of the importance of correctness and performance.
TOOLS EUROPE solicits contributions on all aspects of object
technology and related fields, in particular model-based development, component-based
development, language implementation and patterns. More generally, any
contribution addressing topics in advanced
software technology falls within the scope of TOOLS. Reflecting the
practical emphasis of TOOLS, contributions showcasing applications along with a
sound conceptual contribution are particularly welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Applications to safety- and security-related software
- Aspects and aspect-oriented programming and modelling
- Component-based programming, modelling, tools
- Distributed and concurrent object systems
- Domain specific languages and language design
- Experience reports, including efforts at standardisation
- Frameworks for component-based development
- Language implementation techniques, compilers, run-time systems
- Model-driven development and model-driven architecture
- Multicore programming, models and patterns
- Object technology, including programming techniques, languages, tools
- Open source solutions & Reproduction studies
- Patterns, pattern languages, tool support for patterns
- Practical applications of program verification and analysis
- Real-time object-oriented programming and design
- Testing of object-oriented systems
- Tools and frameworks for supporting model-driven development
- Trusted and reliable components

Synchronizing Models and Code
Abstract:
Object-oriented development promotes the view that "programming is
modeling". Nevertheless, it remains difficult to correlate domain
concepts and features with source code, to reconcile static and
dynamic views of object-oriented code, and to evolve software of a
running system. There continues to be a significant gap between
high-level models of software applications and the code that realizes
these models. We review some recent research of the Software
Composition Group that attempts to address these shortcomings, and we
put forward some challenges for future object-oriented development
systems.

Finding and Fixing Bugs in Web Applications
Abstract:
Today's society is critically dependent on the existence of
web applications. From online purchases to personal banking
to mobile devices, web applications are the backbone of the
21st century's economy. However, web applications have a
number of characteristics that make them highly fragile and
prone to bugs that threaten the important applications they
enable. In particular, they are typically written in a combination
of multiple languages, they often rely on low-level manipulation
of string values to generate dynamic web page content, and the
flow of control in web applications usually depends strongly on
interactive input from the user. In this presentation, I will
present an overview of the Apollo project at IBM Research, which
aims to make web applications more robust by assisting
programmers with finding and fixing bugs, using automated
techniques for test generation, fault localization, and program
repair.
