Mastering the Complexity of Computer-Based Systems

CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOPS: ECBS 2009 will be the 16th formal IEEE

sponsored

meeting dedicated to formulating and advancing methods, techniques and

tools

for the engineering of computer-based systems. The conference is

devoted to

the design, development, deployment, and analysis of complex systems

whose

behavior is largely determined or controlled by computers. Such systems

are

characterized by functional, performance, and reliability requirements

that

mandate the tight integration of information processing and physical

processes.

ECBS encompasses many facets: system modeling, requirements

specification,

simulation, architectures, communications, safety, security,

reliability,

software, hardware, human computer interfacing, system integration,

verification

and validation and project management. Effectively, ECBS spans and

integrates

several engineering disciplines including software, hardware, and

communications

into a complete engineering discipline.

The conference provides a bridge between industry and academia; the

program will

provide a balanced view of academic research and industrial

developments.

Papers are sought which reflect this theme in fundamental ECBS

technologies, or

application domains listed below, and integrate them with a system's

perspective.

o Adaptive Computing

o Architectures

o Autonomic Systems

o Co-design

o Component-Based System Design

o Design Evolution

o Distributed Systems Design

o ECBS Infrastructure (Tools, Environments)

o Education & Training

o Embedded Real-Time Software Systems

o Formal Methods

o Lifecycle Processes and Process Evolution

o Integration Engineering

o Model-Based System Development

o Modeling and Analysis of Complex Systems

o Open Systems

o Product-Families Models and Architectures

o Reengineering & Reuse

o Reliability, Safety, Dependability, Security

o Requirements Elicitation and Analysis

o Standards

o System on a Chip

o System Assessment, Testing and Metrics

o Verification & Validation

Reports of practical solutions, trends and new system characteristics

for

ECBSs may include application domains such as: Aerospace Systems,

Command and Control,

Continuous and Discrete Manufacturing, Environmental Systems,

Instrumentation and

Control Applications, Internet Technology and Applications, Intelligent

Highway-Vehicle

Systems (IHVS), Medical Systems, Telecommunication.

WORKSHOPS:

ECBS 2009 will feature a range of workshops, including the following

1. EASe: Engineering of Autonomic Systems, see

http://www.ulster.ac.uk/ease

2. Model-Based Development of Computer-Based Systems, see

http://www.proinf.de/mbd

The workshops include short presentations and a forum for focused

discussions.

Traditionally for ECBS conferences, workshops are strongly connected to

the conference

sessions to enable continued in-depth discussions.

POSTER SESSIONS:

Posters and abstracts presenting work in progress are invited for a

poster session.

Accepted abstracts will be published in the proceedings. Graduate

students are especially

welcome to participate.

DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM:

The Doctoral Symposium provides a forum for PhD candidates to present

work in progress

and get feedback from the research community.

INDUSTRIAL TRACK:

The industrial track provides a forum for short papers on results

of industrial research and development.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:

Full papers and doctoral symposium papers must be 6 to max 10 pages in

Computer Society format,

poster abstracts 1 to 2 pages, and industrial track papers 2 to 4 pages.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Submission of all papers: Nov 10, 2008

Notification of acceptance: Dec 15, 2008

Camera-ready material for publication: Jan 14, 2009

Registration deadline for authors: Jan 14, 2009

Submission dates for workshops may differ. Please refer to the Call for

Papers

for each individual workshop.
