ICECCS 2008
Call for Papers
The Thirteenth IEEE International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS 2008)
Complex computer systems are common in many sectors, such as manufacturing, communications, defense, transportation, aerospace, hazardous environments, energy, and health care. These systems are frequently distributed over heterogeneous networks, and are driven by many diverse requirements on performance, real-time behavior, fault tolerance, security, adaptability, development time and cost, long life concerns, and other areas. Such requirements frequently conflict, and their satisfaction therefore requires managing the trade-off among them during system development and throughout the entire system life.
The goal of this conference is to bring together industrial, academic, and government experts, from a variety of user domains and software disciplines, to determine how the disciplines' problems and solution techniques interact within the whole system. Researchers, practitioners, tool developers and users, and technology transition experts are all welcome. The scope of interest includes long-term research issues, near-term complex system requirements and promising tools, existing complex systems, and commercially available tools.
Scope and Topics
Papers are solicited in all areas related to complex computer-based systems, including the causes of complexity and means of avoiding, controlling, or coping with complexity. Topic areas include, but are not limited to:
- Avionics and Automobile Software
- Content Production and Distribution Systems, Mobile and Multi-channel Systems
- Context Awareness Computing
- Formal Methods and Approaches to Manage and Control Complex Systems
- Human Factors and Collaborative Aspects
- Integration of Heterogeneous Technologies
- Interoperability and Standardization
- Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing
- Real-time and Embedded Systems
- Sensor Network Systems and Applications
- Software and System Development and Control Processes for Complex Systems
- Software Architecture and System Engineering
- Software Complexity Visualization
- Systems and Software Safety and Security
- Tools, Environments, and Languages for Complex Systems
- Verification Techniques for Complex Software Systems
- Virtual Environments for Managing Complexity
- Web Services Modeling and Compositions
Different kinds of contributions are sought, including research papers, lessons learned, status reports, and discussion of practical problems faced by industry and user domains. The ultimate goal is to build a rich and comprehensive conference program that can fit the interests and needs of different classes of attendees: professionals, researchers, managers, and students. A program goal is to organize several sessions that include both academic and industrial papers on a given topic and culminate panels to discuss relationships between industrial and academic research.
Papers are divided into two categories: Technical Papers and Experience Reports. The papers submitted to both categories will be reviewed by program committee members, and papers accepted in either category will be published in the conference proceedings. Technical papers should describe original research, and industrial experience reports should describe practical projects carried out in industry, and reflect on the lessons learnt from them.
Paper Submission
Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format (ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/instruct.doc). Papers should not exceed 10 pages including figures, references, and appendices and be in PDF format. Submissions of papers will be carried out electronically via the Web (http://sttt.cs.uni-dortmund.de/iceccs08/servlet/Conference).
Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a copyright release form. IEEE Computer Society Press will publish the proceedings. Final versions of accepted papers will be limited to 10 pages in the aforementioned IEEE proceedings format.
