Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) is concerned with 
the development of software intensive systems from reusable parts 
(components), the development of such reusable parts, and with the
maintenance and improvement of systems by means of component 
replacement and customization. Although it holds considerable 
promise, there are still many challenges facing both researchers 
and practitioners in establishing CBSE as an efficient and proven 
engineering discipline. 

CBSE has been the focus of six workshops which have been held 
consecutively at the most recent six International Conferences 
on Software Engineering (ICSE). The premise of the last three 
CBSE workshops was that the long-term success of component-based
development depends on the viability of an established science 
and technology foundation for achieving predictable quality in 
component-based systems. The intent of this symposium is to build 
on this premise, and to provide a forum for more in-depth and 
substantive treatment of topics pertaining to predictability. 

The symposium will bring together researchers and practitioners 
from a variety of disciplines related to CBSE to help establish 
cross-discipline insights, to provide a forum for presenting and 
discussing innovative approaches to CBSE, and to improve cooperation 
and mutual understanding.
