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.
