CBSE 2007, the Tenth International ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on Com- nent-BasedSoftwareEngineeringwasdedicatedtothethemeof“GlobalSoftware Services and Architectures.” Component-based software engineering (CBSE) has emerged as a key te- nology for developing and maintaining large-scale software-intensive systems, such as global networked information systems and services, distributed re- time automation systems, grids and sensor networks. CBSE combines elements ofobject-orientedtechnologies,softwarearchitecture,softwareveri?cation,m- ular software design, con?guration and deployment. CBSE has made major - roadsinto mainstream networked software-intensivesystems. If you are taking a train, accessing your bank account or health insurance over the Internet, sear- ing and ordering a book or tracking its delivery, very likely CBSE is at work in the distributed software enabling such everyday activities in transport, c- merce, health, automation, environment and defense. The CBSE Symposium has a track record of bringing together researchers andpractitionersfromavariety ofdisciplines to promotea better understanding of CBSE from a diversity of perspectives and to engage in active discussion and debate.CBSE hasbeen open to allparticipants interestedbroadlyin component software engineering. The symposium addresses participants from both univ- sities and industry and combines formal refereed paper presentations, industrial experience presentations, invited keynotes and expert working sessions on key challenges that the ?eld faces.
