========================================================================
*** DEMONSTRATIONS ***

Demonstrations serve the dissemination of advances embodied in
research­oriented tools and systems that use or support modularity and
composition. Attendees learn about emerging technologies and have
opportunities to interact with their developers. Presenters gain
excellent opportunities to increase the visibility and impact of their
work. Modularity'14 solicits high-quality proposals for its
demonstration track. Demonstrations may present commercial, academic, or
corporate research systems.

Demonstrations will be selected on the basis of technical merit,
novelty, relevance to the modularity and composition community, and
feasibility of presentation. The presentation has to focus on technical
content and is to be given by technical members of the team.

To each demo will be allocated 30 minutes, with 10 minutes for the
presentation, 15 minutes for the demonstration, and 5 minutes for
questions and discussion. Every demonstration will be scheduled twice
for presentation. Authors of regular papers are also welcome to submit
accompanying demonstrations.

 
TOPICS

Topics of interest include (though are not limited to):
* applications of the mechanisms to support modularity and composition
  the in the software development life­cycle 
* new technologies for software modularization and composition
* linguistic mechanism to support modularity and composition
* modularity in domain specific languages design, implementation and
  application
* composable and reusable library of programming entities

*** ACM STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION ***

Modularity'14 is hosting an ACM Student Research Competition (SRC). The
competition, sponsored by Microsoft Research, is an
internationally-recognized venue that enables undergraduate and graduate
students to experience the research world, share their research results
with other students and Modularity'14 attendees, and compete for prizes.
The ACM Student Research Competition shares the Poster session's goal to
facilitate students' interaction with researchers and industry
practitioners; providing both sides with the opportunity to learn of
ongoing, current research. Additionally, the Student Research
Competition affords students with experience with both formal
presentations and evaluations.

*** POSTERS ***

The Poster Event is always one of the most exciting and well attended
social events of the conference. It is a perfect opportunity for every
researcher to present their work to conference attendees while mingling
in a social setting. Do not miss out on this opportunity to take your
research to the next level, clarify problem statements, vet solutions,
identify evaluation methods or, if you are a student, just prepare for
your dissertation.
