*** MODULARITY VISIONS TRACK ***

Modularity properties are key determinants of quality in information
systems, software, and system production processes. Modularity
influences system diversity, dependability, performance, evolution,
the structure and the dynamics of the organizations that produce
systems, human understanding and management of systems, and ultimately
system value.
 
Yet the nature of and possibilities for modularity, limits to
modularity, the mechanisms needed to achieve it in given forms, and
its costs and benefits remain poorly understood. Significant advances
in modularity thus are possible and promise to yield breakthroughs in
our ability to conceive, design, develop, validate, integrate, deploy,
operate, and evolve modern information systems and their underlying
software artifacts.
 
The Modularity Visions track of Modularity'14 is looking for papers
presenting compelling insights into modularity in information systems,
including its nature, forms, mechanisms, consequences, limits, costs,
and benefits. Modularity Vision papers can also present proposals for
future work. The scope of Modularity Visions is broad and open to
submissions from all areas of computer science.
 
Modularity Visions papers must supply some degree of validation
because mere speculation is not a good basis for progress. However,
Modularity Visions accepts less rigorous methods of validation such as
compelling arguments, exploratory implementations, and substantial
examples. The use of worked-out prototypes to support new ideas is
strongly encouraged.
