The aim of this workshop is to bring together the efforts in the complementary areas of software engineering with XML and engineering software with XML. The first area addresses the use of XML and related technologies for the construction of software engineering tools and environments. The second area focuses on the exploitation of XML for the development of a new generation of distributed software architectures and middleware that might provide new degrees of flexibility in terms of integration, security, and interoperability. The focus of the workshop stretches from pure research on XML and related technologies to applications and reports of industrial experience with mark-up languages and tools.
The intended workshop audience includes practitioners and researchers in software engineering tools, software architecture, and distributed systems. Because of the rapid evolution of XML related technologies and models, the workshop will seek to broaden the understanding and stimulate interesting collaborations. The workshop aims to identify problem areas in this domain, and discuss a research agenda to address these problems.
The programme committee seeks original high quality papers related to all aspects of use of XML technologies in software engineering context and software engineering approaches to development of XML technologies. Technologies relevant to the workshop include XML, XSL, DOM, XLink, XPath, Schema, SOAP, Biztalk, XML Query, XMI, XPL, and RDF.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Submissions must be original and must not have been submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions must be in English and should not exceed 4 pages in length.
Authors should preferably submit a URL to an XML document marked-up using the
