CALL FOR PAPERS

International Conference and Workshop

on the Engineering of Computer Based Systems (ECBS)

CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOP: ECBS-99 will be the twelfth in a series of IEEE sponsored meetings dedicated to formulating and advancing methodologies and techniques for Engineering of Computer-Based Systems (ECBS). This emerging discipline is devoted to design, development, deployment, and analysis of complex systems whose behavior is, to a substantial degree, determined or controlled by computers. Their functional, performance, and reliability requirements mandate the tight integration of information processing and physical processes. ECBS encompasses many facets: modeling, requirements specification, simulation, architectures, communications, safety, security, reliability software, hardware, human computer interfacing, system integration, verification and testing and project management. ECBS takes a holistic approach. It aims to integrate systems engineering of Computer-Based Systems with the detailed design and realization of engineering fields such as software, hardware or codesign into a complete engineering discipline. The conference provides a bridge between industry and academia, and the program will provide a balanced view of academic research and industrial developments. Contributions are sought in two major categories: fundamental ECBS technologies and application domain areas.

 


 

SCOPE: Fundamental ECBS technologies include but are not limited to:

  • Design of Computer-Based System
  • Requirements Elicitation and Analysis
  • Modeling, and Analysis of Complex Systems
  • Formal Design and Analysis Techniques
  • System & Software Architectures
  • Domain Modeling and Analysis
  • Codesign
  • Training & Education
  • Embedded Real-Time Software Systems
  • Reengineering & Reuse
  • Systems Simulation
  • Development Processes and Process Optimization
  • Information Management and Traceability
  • System Assessment, Testing and Metrics
  • Reliability, Safety, Dependability, Security
  • ECBS Infrastructure (Tools, Environments)

In addition to technology foundations, papers are solicited to present case studies, trends and new system characteristics achieved by ECBSs in application domains such as:

  • Continuous and Discrete Manufacturing
  • Aerospace Systems
  • Telecommunication
  • Automotive Electronics
  • Environmental Systems
  • Instrumentation and Control Applications
  • Intelligent Highway-Vehicle Systems (IHVS)
  • Medical Systems
  • Power Generation and Distribution Systems
  • Financial Systems

 


 

THE WORKSHOP: The workshop provides a forum for Working Group sessions with round table discussions. Working Groups active within the TC currently are: Architecture; Standards; Modeling and Simulation; Research; Forensics; Case Study; Education and Training; ECBS Process and Information Model

TUTORIALS: ECBS 99 will include tutorials on Sunday, March 7 before the conference. Proposals are invited for half day and full day tutorials. Tutorials should focus on engineering of computer based systems as a discipline rather than on general systems engineering or software engineering.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: Five (5) copies of full papers (4000-6000 words plus references) must be received by September 15, 1998 (hard copies only). The papers will be refereed and authors notified by December 1, 1998. Send all submissions and to the Program Chair:
