Authors of the top papers...

Good news, but more work...

Dear Ulrik and Carl,

We are pleased to inform you that your research paper,

"A Case Study of the Architecture Business Cycle for an In-Vehicle Software Architecture",

has been selected to be extended and submitted to a Special Issue of the Journal of Systems and Software (JSS).

This JSS Special Issue will include the extended and revised best papers selected from the 2009 Joint Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture & European Conference on Software Architecture (WICSA/ECSA 2009).

Indeed, we announced at WICSA/ECSA 2009 that extended versions of best papers of WICSA/ECSA 2009 would be selected to be submitted to JSS.

We have better news: our cooperation with JSS was upgraded to have this year a JSS Special Issue including the best papers of WICSA/ECSA 2009, instead of submitting papers that would be included in different issues.

Based on review scores and reviewer comments, we are inviting authors of the top papers to substantially extend (at least 30% of new material) their papers and submit them to this Special Issue. Congratulations on being included in this select group.

Looking forward to hearing from you and hoping that you will accept our invitation to contribute to this Journal Special Issue.

Yours Sincerely,

Flavio Oquendo, Eltjo Poort, Judith Stafford
