Proceedings of the 15th workshop on Early aspects

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 15th Edition of the Early Aspects workshop. This year's workshop continues its tradition of being the premier forum for presentation of research results and tool demos on leading edge issues of identifying, representing, modularizing, and composing the crosscutting concerns in requirements engineering and architectural design. The theme of this year's workshop is learning from each other and from ourselves. The workshop gives researchers and practitioners a unique opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested in the various facets of early aspects. The call for papers attracted a dozen submissions from Asia, Europe, South America, and the United States. The program committee accepted 7 research papers that cover a variety of topics, including security concerns, business process modeling, architecture refactoring, model-driven development, and goal-oriented requirements analysis. In addition, the program includes a tool demo for identifying conflicting dependencies in requirements documents and a keynote speech by Mehmet Aksit from the University of Twente, The Netherlands. We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for the early aspects researchers and practitioners.
