3rd International Conference on COTS-Based Software Systems (ICCBSS 2004)
February 1-4, 2004
Redondo Beach, California, USA

Theme: Matching Solutions to Problems
The International Conference on COTS-Based Software Systems (ICCBSS)
provides a key source for finding solutions to the technical, management,
and operational challenges introduced when using commercial off-the-shelf
(COTS) software.
In addition to a full program of presentations, panels, and tutorials,
ICCBSS 2004 will provide participants an opportunity to explore several
topics in greater depth in optional workshops.
Incorporating COTS into Software Systems: Tools and Techniques
This workshop explores innovative ways of integrating COTS software into
software systems for purposes often unimagined by their original designers.
It emphasizes tools and techniques for plugging COTS into software systems
safely and predictably. The past has predominantly explored how to deal with
COTS integration during requirements engineering, risk assessment, and
selection. This workshop focuses on how to complement ordinary software
development with techniques for designing, implementing, and testing COTS
integration. Further workshop information and a call for position papers is
available at http://www.tuisr.utulsa.edu/iwicss/
COTS Terminology and Categories: Can We Reach a Consensus?
There are a variety of classification schemes related to COTS products.
Desktop applications, math libraries, operating systems and complex enterprise
resource planning (ERP) product suites are all examples of COTS products
but differ dramatically in their scope, resource requirements to implement
and associated risks. During this workshop, we will examine alternative
categorization schemes and COTS-related definitions. Our objective will be
to arrive at a consensus where possible and more clearly identify areas where
differences of opinion exist. Further workshop information and a Call
for Position Papers is available at http://softeng.polito.it/iwctc/
