> IEEE Software seeks submissions for a special issue on the topic
> of persistent software attributes. The issue will focus on how
> software developers handle the growing problem of guaranteeing
> desirable software properties when systems and applications
> reside in a sea of rapid, unpredictable, and largely
> uncontrollable change. PSAs might be any of the classic
> "ilities," including but not limited to reliability,
> scalability, efficiency, security, usability, adaptability,
> maintainability, availability, and portability. Examples of some
> of the sources of rapid change include networking of systems,
> Internet downloads, dynamic linking, component-based and
> service-based software architectures, automated patching,
> increasing reliance on user-configurable, text-based
> configuration files, and application interfaces that provide
> high levels of user-accessible programmability.
>
> Areas of particular interest include:
>
>   o  How to strengthen system-wide ilities such as reliability
>      and security that are particularly susceptible to damage
>      from change
>
>   o  Examples of how to use specialized software to help monitor,
>      safeguard, enforce, or reassert a o  desirable ility after
>      changes occur
>
>   o  Examples in which ilities have been specified and engineered
>      specifically to make them less susceptible to rapid external
>      change
>
>   o  How to build PSAs into large, networked systems
>
> Accepted articles will be part of a special focus issue
> promoting PSAs' importance to software in a world in which
> computing and networking capacity have become ubiquitous.
> Authors will have an opportunity not only to share specific
> techniques or lessons learned but also to increase awareness in
> the software development community of the growing need for
> specific, focused development and support of PSAs. If you
> believe you have a good example of how you've made an important
> software attribute more resistant to change and adversity, IEEE
> Software encourages you to submit an article on your work or
> product example.
>
> Manuscripts must not exceed 5,400 words including figures and
> tables, which count for 200 words each. Submissions in excess of
> these limits may be rejected without refereeing. The articles we
> deem within the theme's scope will be peer-reviewed and are
> subject to editing for magazine style, clarity, organization,
> and space. We reserve the right to edit the title of all
> submissions. Be sure to include the name of the theme for which
> you are submitting.
