About the workshop

The frantic pace of evolution in the IT industry and the staggering growth of the Web, private and public clouds, container architectures and microservices exert ever increasing pressure on modes of software development and deployment, leading to constant questioning of traditional software engineering wisdom.

Among the new development models continuously integrating development, quality assurance, deployment, operation and maintenance, “DevOps” is the most prominent, although not the only one.

The DEVOPS 18 workshop provides a venue for in-depth discussions of software engineering implications of these new models,  which are poised to revolutionize the IT industry but have so far received scant scientific analysis.

The post-proceedings will be published as a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Submissions (full papers or extended abstracts) are due by January 15, 2018 and will be reviewed by the international program committee.

The workshop is organized by the LASER foundation, which also hosts the annual LASER summer school.

Venue

The workshop will be held at the Château de Villebrumier near Toulouse in Southwest France, a newly established conference center devoted to meetings on new technologies. Villebrumier is easily reachable from Toulouse International Airport (40 km) or Montauban train station (15 km, 4 hours from Paris via high-speed trains).

Participants will be hosted in the nearby Montauban Ibis hotel.

Transportation from the hotel to the conference center and back will be provided.

An optional tour of the Airbus construction site will be organized for interested participants on Wednesday, March 7.

Important dates

● 15 January 2018: deadline for extended abstracts (2 pages LNCS format)
● 15 February 2018  notification
● 5-6 March 2018: workshop
● 7 March 2018: optional Airbus Tour
● June 2018: planned submissions of full papers for post-proceedings
