Title:  First Workshop on Exception Handling in Contemporary Software Systems

http://www.dc.ufscar.br/~delano/EHCoS

Outline:

With exception handling increasingly becoming a pervasive issue on contemporary real-life projects, it is no longer acceptable to consider exception handling only as an implementation matter. Software developers have being faced a number of software engineering challenges towards the effective specification, design, testing, and evolution of exception handling strategies in existing software projects.

Moreover, advances in  new technologies such as components, web services, product line architectures, mobile computing and multicore architectures have allowed the recent development of a wide variety of applications. However, in order to these new applications become feasible in different sectors of the contemporary society, they should be prepared to handle an increasing number of erroneous conditions. Such systems should adhere to strict requirements related to fault tolerance, integrity and availability. Thus, the exception handling is a key issue in the development of such contemporary software systems.

In this context, the First Workshop on Exception Handling in Contemporary Software Systems (EHCoS) is an initiative to put together researchers, developers and system users to discuss problems and demands of contemporary exception handling.
