****Call for Papers****

The International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR) is the premier event in the field of software reuse research and technology. The main goal of ICSR is to present the most recent advances and breakthroughs in the area of software reuse and to promote an intensive and continuous exchange among researchers and practitioners.



The theme issue of this year focuses on "New Opportunities for Software Reuse".


Many of the today's systems use context information to reconfigure themselves and provide some kind of smart reaction. Thus, we need to modernise existing reuse approaches for handling reuse "on the fly" or to deploy systems several times.

In order to address new development challenges, we invite novel and well-founded work in the area of software reuse to describe innovative ideas on a sound theoretical basis, empirical work reporting case studies, experiments, and industry experiences is also highly welcome.
We encourage submissions providing guidance and insight during the transition from
ad-hoc to systematic reuse approaches. Reports on practical experience and technology
transfer to industry or work that provides insights on obstacles and success factors
for the adaptation of reuse approaches are highly demanded.
