Abstract

The effective assessment of emerging modularization technologies plays a pivotal role on: (i) a better understanding of their real benefits and drawbacks when compared to conventional development techniques, and (ii) their effective transfer to mainstream software development. This report is intended to summarize the results of the 1st International Workshop on Assessment of Contemporary Modularization Techniques (ACoM'07) held in Minneapolis, USA, May 22, 2007, as part of the 29th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE'07). The main purpose of this workshop was to share and pool the collective experience of people interested in and actively working on assessment of innovative modularization techniques. The workshop consisted of an opening presentation, several paper presentations organized into three technical sessions, and four discussion groups. During the workshop presentations and discussions, the authors and participants directly and indirectly reviewed ongoing and previous work and debated a number of important issues on contemporary modularity assessment. The ACoM'07 website, including the electronic version of this report, can be found at . We begin by presenting an overview of our goals and the workshop structure, and then focus on the workshop technical program and results.
