Following last three years’ RAM-SE (Reflection, AOP and Meta-Data for Software Evolution) workshop at the ECOOP conference,
the RAM-SE’07 workshop was a successful and popular event. As its name implies, the workshop’s focus was on the application
of reflective, aspect-oriented and data-mining techniques to the broad field of software evolution. Topics and discussions
at the workshop included mechanisms for supporting software evolution, technological limits for software evolution and tools
and middleware for software evolution. The workshop’s main goal was to bring together researchers working in the field of
software evolution with a particular interest in reflection, aspect-oriented programming and meta-data. The workshop was organized
as a full day meeting, partly devoted to presentation of submitted position papers and partly devoted to panel discussions
about the presented topics and other interesting issues in the field. In this way, the workshop allowed participants to get
acquainted with each other’s work, and stimulated collaboration.
