             A one-day workshop to be held in conjunction with the
                      Fourth International Conference on
                Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD.05),
                      March 14-18, 2005, Chicago, IL, USA
                          http://aosd.net/conference


      ACP4IS provides a  highly interactive   forum for researchers  and
      developers to discuss the application of and relationships between
      aspects, components, and   patterns within modern  "systems infra-
      structure"  software: e.g., application servers, middleware, virt-
      ual  machines, compilers,  operating  systems, and  other software
      that provides general services for higher-level applications.

      This meeting of the workshop will focus on the particular topic of
      implementing infrastructure software  product  families.  The goal
      is  to  better understand  how  aspects, components,  and patterns
      relate  ---  individually and in combination   --- to the inherent
      challenges of systems infrastructure product lines.
