McDermid, University of York, UK : Tosiyasu L. Kunii, Hosei University, Japan : David Notkin, University of Washington, USA : : DESCRIPTION: IEEE Computer Society's Sixth International Conference on : the Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS 2000) is to be held in : Boissonade Tower, Ichigaya Campus, Hosei University, Tokyo, Japan. : : SCOPE: 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. : : TOPIC AREAS: : : 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: : - - System and Software Architecture and Systems Engineering : - - Tools, Environments, and Languages for Complex Systems : - - Complex Data Management, including Distributed, Real-Time, and Mobile : Databases : - - Formal Methods and Approaches to Achieving Dependability in Complex : Systems : - - Integration of Heterogeneous Technologies : - - Software and System Development Processes for Complex Systems : - - Human Factors and Collaborative ("Groupware") Aspects : - - Interoperability and Standardization : - - System and Software Safety and Security : : SESSION ORGANIZATION: 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. : : PAPER SUBMISSIONS: Papers are divided into two categories: Technical : Papers and Industrial 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. Submitted manuscripts should be in : English and no longer than 5000 words or 20 double-spaced pages. Each : submission should include submission category, a cover page containing title, : all authors' names, affiliations, and complete mail and electronic mail : addresses, together with a maximum 200 word abstract and keyword list. : : Authors of accepted papers must sign a copyright release form. IEEE : Computer Society Press will publish the proceedings. Final versions of : accepted papers will be limited to 11 pages in the IEEE proceedings format : described at http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm. : : SUBMISSION FORM: Electronic submission is encouraged, but hardcopy : submissions will also be accepted. Electronic submissions may be in PDF or : portable PostScript only; word processor files will not be accepted. : If the authors are not able to submit electronically, 6 paper copies may be : submitted.
