CALL FOR PAPERS The 23rd International Conference on Engineering Complex Systems (ICECCS 2018), 12-14 December 2018 - Melbourne, Australia http://formal-analysis.com/iceccs/2018/
Important Dates (AoE time) Abstract submission: 15th June 2018 Paper submission: 22nd June 2018 Notification of acceptance: 22th August 2018 Camera ready copy due: 21th September 2017 We have seen a rapid rising emphasis on design, implement and manage complex computer systems which are present in every aspect of human activities, such as manufacturing, communications, defense, transportation, aerospace, hazardous environments, energy, and health care. The complex computer systems are frequently distributed over heterogeneous networks and processing large amount data. Complexity arises from many factors, including the dynamic environments and scenarios these systems operate in; demanding and sometimes conflicting requirements in functionality, efficiency, scalability, security, dependability, inoperability and adaptability; as well as the large variation in development methodology, programming languages and implementation details. The key issues in these systems include performance, real-time behavior, fault tolerance, security, adaptability, development time and cost, and long life concerns. The goal of this conference is to bring together industrial, academic, and government experts, from a variety of application domains and software disciplines, to discuss how the disciplines' problems and solution techniques interact within the whole system. Researchers, practitioners, tool developers and users, and technology transfer experts are all welcome. The scope of interest includes long-term research issues; near-term requirements and challenges; established complex systems; emerging promising tools; and retrospective and prospective reflections of research and development into complex systems. Scope and Topics Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, unpublished research results, case studies and tools. 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: Requirement specification and analysis Verification and validation Security and privacy of complex systems Model-driven development Reverse engineering and refactoring Software architecture Big Data Management Ambient intelligence, pervasive computing Ubiquitous computing, context awareness, sensor networks Design by contract Agile methods Safety-critical & fault-tolerant architectures Adaptive, self-managing and multi-agent systems Real-time, hybrid and embedded systems Systems of systems Cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things (IoT) Tools and tool integration Industrial case studies Different kinds of contributions are sought, including novel research, lessons learned, experience reports, and discussions 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. Full Papers Full papers are divided into two categories: Technical Papers and 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 experience reports should present practical projects carried out in industry, and reflect on the lessons learnt from them. Short Papers Short paper submissions describe early-stage, ongoing or PhD research. All short papers will be reviewed by program committee members, and accepted short papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Paper Submissions Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of the double-column CPS format. Full papers should not exceed 10 pages, and short papers should not exceed 4 pages, including figures, references, and appendices. All submissions should be in PDF format. Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be rejected immediately, without review. Please prepare your manuscripts in accordance to the CPS guidelines: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. We invite all prospective authors to submit their manuscripts via the ICECCS'18 portal, hosted on EasyChair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iceccs2018 Conference Proceedings The conference proceedings will be published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and submitted for EI indexing. Organization: General Chair: Yuan-Fang Li, Monash University, Australia Program Chair: Anthony Lin (Oxford, UK) and Jun Sun (Singapore University of Technoglogy and Design, Singapore) Workshop/Tutorial chair: Marcel Boehme, Monash University, Australia Local chair: Xin Xia, Monash University, Australia Web Chair: Hou Zhe and Hadrien Bride, Griffith University Publicity Chair: Etienne Andre (University Paris 13, France) and Huibiao Zhu (East China Normal University, China)
