Making the transition to component-based enterprise software development: Overcoming the obstacles - Patterns for success

Summary form only given. This workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to meet and discuss the key challenges involved in the transition to object-oriented (OO) component-based enterprise software development. This workshop is a major part of an international collaborative effort that is led by the workshop organizers and aims at developing a consensus on the dominant obstacles and their best practice solution(s), and will establish a repository of patterns of reuse success. All IT and software professionals who have actively participated in making such transitions in their organizations are invited to participate in the workshop and share their experiences and their patterns of reuse success. It would be most beneficial if participants describe how the approach taken by their organizations has integrated different elements such as business-case analysis, domain engineering, product line architecting, people and process management, and lifecycle software asset management. Each workshop participant will give a short presentation (about 5-8 minutes) on his/her organization's experience of the transition and the lessons learned from that experience.
