First international workshop on the Modeling and Analysis of Concerns in Software (MACS 2005)

Many software engineering activities are organized around the idea of concerns. Separation of concerns is a basic tenet of software engineering intended to facilitate the development and evolution of software systems. Unfortunately, separation of concerns is not always possible in practice, and concerns often end up scattered and tangled. The goal of the MACS workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners with interest and experience in techniques for modeling and analyzing the realization of concerns in software systems.
