Reseña del editor

The 8th International Conference on Software Composition, SC 2009, was held in Zu ¨rich, Switzerland, during July 2-3, 2009. Over the years SC has become an important and inspiring forum for researchers, practitioners, and students working in the broad ?eld of software composition. This topic area was further exploredbybothhigh-qualitypaperpresentationsaswellastwoexcellentinvited speakers. In all, 34 submissions underwent a full review process by the Program C- mittee (PC). Only 10 were accepted for publication and presentation at the conference. The published papers were selected according to rigorous criteria covering relevance for the venue; contribution and innovation; precisionand c- rectness; and presentation and clarity. Eachpaper received between three to ?ve reviews, depending on whether authors were PC members. We endeavored to make SC 2009 a venue that encouragesand helps outstanding papers to be p- lished. This implied generating discussion when opinions expressed by the PC membersdiverge. Threepapersthatconveyedimportantinnovationsorscienti?c progress did not quite reach the quality levels we aimed for and were therefore shepherded by a PC member. We would like to thank the PC members who helped with this extra task. The successof SC 2009 wasalso due to two worldwide recognizedresearchers who presented a keynote presentation. Paul Klint from the Centrum voor W- kunde en Informatica (CWI), Amsterdam, and St´ ephane Ducasse, from INRIA Lille Nord Europe. Their knowledge and experience undoubtedly bene?ted the audience. SC 2009 was one of the events that were co-located with TOOLS Europe 2009.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Software Composition, SC 2009, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in July 2009. The workshop has been organized as an event co-located with the TOOLS Europe 2009 conference.

The 10 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. The papers reflect current research in software composition to foster developing of composition models and techniques by using aspect- and service-oriented programming, specification of component contracts and protocols, methods of correct components composition, as well as verification, validation and testing techniques - even in pervasive computing environments and for the Web.
