AOSE methodologies have been studied since 2000. 
Traditionally the focus was only onto one of the 
methodologies’characteristics: workproducts. 
Investigations on another fundamental 
characteristic – the process - have been proposed 
only recently. The aims of this track are the 
deeper investigations of AOSE methodologies and 
their underpinned processes. The investigation 
has started from the idea that an ideal 
general-purpose AOSE methodology and an ideal 
general-purpose AOSE process do not exist. The 
AOSE methodologies proposed in literature in the 
last years typically are special purpose 
methodologies with the aim of engineering 
specific kinds of complex system, and no general 
purpose AOSE methodology was proposed.  Now there 
is the need to build new methodologies for new 
kinds of applications domain (like for example 
the self-* domain), but the constructions of a 
new methodology from scratch is a very complex 
and time-consuming task. So, the reuse of 
portions of well-tested and well-known 
methodologies has become very important. 
Moreover, key factors for the success of new 
methodologies can often be found in the clear 
definition of their scope, in the identification 
of a precise application and development context 
and in the adoption of a proper formalisation of 
the approach.  In this track we aim at studying 
all the elements that affect the construction of 
a new design process from the features it aims to 
exhibit to the final evaluation of the result 
also including adopted modelling languages, techniques and specific methods.
