Call For Papers - CFP

The 33rd Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference

COMPSAC 2009 http://www.compsac.org

Seattle, USA, July 20 - 24, 2009

Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society

COMPSAC, first held in Chicago in 1997, is one of the major international forums

for academia, industry, and government to discuss research results, advances and

future trends in computer and software technologies and applications. The

technical program includes keynote addresses, research papers, industrial case

studies, panel discussions and fast abstracts. It also includes a number of

workshops on emerging important topics.

The creation of trustworthy, dependable and distributed computer services

satisfying the needs of today's pervasive and ubiquitous computing environments

spans all aspects of software systems engineering. COMPSAC is a unique forum

bringing together these facets and their major stakeholders. It gives research

and practitioners a unique opportunity to share their perspective with others

interested in the various aspects of computer systems and applications. Building

on the trustworthy, secure, and dependable distributed software themes of highly

successful recent COMPSAC conferences, the technical theme for the 33rd

conference is

HARMONIZING HUMANS, COMPUTERS AND SOFTWARE IN SERVICE ENVIRONMENT

The program of COMPSAC 2009 will continue to feature research and industrial

practice papers with a wide range of topics, focusing (but not exclusively) on

software and middleware development for distributed platforms, social and

collaborative networks, services computing, cloud computing, data center design

and applications, communication applications, mobile and embedded systems. To

properly engineer such domains, the foundations, methodologies, and mechanisms

that support the design, modelling, and evaluation of software systems and

computer applications must come from diverse sources. Topics of interest include

but are not limited to requirement analysis, co-analysis/co-design, modelling,

development, testing, measurement, verification, validation, performance,

autonomy, safety, security, and dependability constraints. Effective

construction of these systems is not limited solely to the field of computer

science and engineering and comes as a synergetic effort, between various

domains of research. Multidisciplinary work, research and development of

software prototypes, industry-university collaborations, all based on new

emerging and critical technologies will be of particular interest to this

conference. All accepted papers will be published in the electronic proceedings

by the IEEE Computer Society, indexed through INSPEC and EI Index, and automatic

inclusion in the IEEE digital library.

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers as well as

industrial practice papers. Simultaneous submissions to other publication venues

are not permitted. Detailed instructions for electronic paper submission, panel

and workshop proposals, fast abstracts, doctoral symposium and review process

can be found at http://www.compsac.org/. The length of the camera-ready of an

accepted paper will be limited to 8 (IEEE Proceedings style) pages, and printed

on 10-12 point fonts. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings

Author Guidelines to prepare your papers. At least one author of each accepted

paper (regular, short, workshop) or fast abstract is required to pay full

registration fee to the conference. Each accepted paper must be presented in

person by the author or one of the authors. At least one Best Paper Award and

1-3 Best Student Paper Awards will be presented by COMPSAC 2009. The first

author of the best student papers must be a full-time student. Doctoral

Symposium papers are encouraged with reduced student registration rate. Student

travel grants wiill be made available. Check the conference website for details.
