Call for Papers (Click here to download the PDF version) 14th Annual IEEE International Conference and
Workshop on the Engineering of Computer Based Systems (ECBS)
Conference
and Workshops: March 26th – 29th, 2007 At Doubletree
Hotel Tucson at Reid Park in “Raising Expectations of Computer Based Systems” CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOPS: ECBS 2007 will be the 14th
formal IEEE sponsored meeting dedicated to formulating and advancing methods,
techniques and tools for the engineering of computer-based systems. What is
the Engineering of Computer Based Systems? The emerging discipline
of ECBS is devoted to the design, development, deployment, and analysis of
complex systems whose behaviour is largely determined or controlled by
computers. CBSs are characterized by functional, performance, and reliability
requirements that mandate the tight integration of information processing and
physical processes. ECBS encompasses many facets: system modelling,
requirements specification, simulation, architectures, communications,
safety, security, reliability, software, hardware, human computer
interfacing, system integration, verification and validation and project
management. ECBS is the integration of several engineering disciplines
including software, hardware, and communications into a complete systems
engineering discipline. The conference provides a bridge between industry and
academia; the program will provide a balanced view of academic research and
industrial developments. SCOPE: Contributions are sought in two major categories: advances
in fundamental ECBS technologies and reports of solutions that further ECBS
practice in application domains. The
meeting’s theme represents the increasing expectations of stakeholders upon
computer-based systems in terms of performance, security, reliability,
safety, usability. As builders and
researchers of CBSs, are we achieving these expectations? What are we doing
well, where do we need to improve? One or more of the topics listed below should be reflected
in the submitted papers - whereas the main focus should be the engineering of
computer-based systems. o

characteristics for ECBSs 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, Telecommunication. WORKSHOPS: ECBS 2007 will feature the following workshops:
http://www.theoinf.tu-ilmenau.de/~riebisch/mbd/
The workshops include short presentations and a forum for
focused discussions. Traditionally, at ECBS conferences, workshops are strongly connected to the conference
sessions to enable continued in-depth 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 submission dates see important dates
Submission dates for workshop papers may differ, see
separate Calls for Papers on the workshop websites. General Chair. Jerzy W. Rozenblit (ecbs07@ece.arizona.edu) Program Co-Chairs: John Leaney, Tim O’Neill, Jianfeng Peng
