17th IEEE International Conference and Workshops on the Engineering of Computer-Based Systems (ECBS 2010)

Call for Papers
http://tab.computer.org/ecbs/2010
22nd - 26th March, 2010
at St. Anne’s College, University of Oxford, UK

Co-located with:
15th IEEE International Conference on the Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS 2010)
7th IEEE International Conference and workshops on the Engineering of Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (EASe 2010)

ECBS is dedicated to formulating and advancing methods, techniques
and tools for the engineering of computer-based systems. Such systems
are characterized by functional, performance, and reliability
requirements that mandate the tight integration of information processing and physical
processes.

The conference provides a bridge between industry and academia,
blending academic research and industrial developments. The theme this
year is "Engineering Green/Eco CBS".

Papers are sought which reflect this theme, in fundamental ECBS technologies, or
application domains, as listed below.

o Adaptive Computing
o Agile Development
o Architectures
o Autonomic Systems
o Cloud Computing
o Co-design
o Component-Based System Design
o Cyber Physical Systems
o Design Evolution
o Distributed Systems Design
o ECBS Infrastructure (Tools, Environments)
o Education & Training
o Embedded Real-Time Software Systems
o Lifecycle Processes & Process Evolution
o Integration Engineering
o Model-Based System Development
o Modelling and Analysis of Complex Systems
o Open Systems
o Pervasive 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 Ubiquitous Systems
o Verification & Validation

Reports of practical solutions, trends and new system characteristics
for ECBS, taking an integrated systems approach, 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, and Telecommunications.

WORKSHOPS: As is the tradition, ECBS 2010 will host workshops, not only in the form of "hot topics"
mini conferences but also working groups 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. For further
information see the conference web site.

IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission of titles and abstracts: 1 November, 2009
Submission of all papers: 10 November, 2009
Notification of acceptance: 15 December 2009
Camera-ready material for publication: 15 January 2010
Registration deadline for authors: 15 January 2010
Early registration deadline for non-authors: 22 February 2010
