IEEE ECBS 2012<br>
19th Annual IEEE International Conference and Workshops on the
Engineering of Computer Based Systems<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tab.computer.org/ecbs/2012/">http://tab.computer.org/ecbs/2012/</a><br>
<br>
April 11-13, 2012<br>
Novi Sad, Serbia<br>
<br>
The conference provides a great opportunity to discuss and correlate
issues relevant to computer-based systems from different
perspectives. It aims at integrating several disciplines, including
software, hardware, and communication, into a complete systems
engineering approach.<br>
<br>
The paper submission deadline is November 14 (abstracts due November
7). The call for papers is included below.<br>

<b>Call for Papers</b><br>
<br>
19th Annual IEEE International Conference and Workshops on the
Engineering of Computer Based Systems (ECBS) sponsored by the IEEE
Technical Committee on ECBS<br>
<br>
April 11-13, 2012<br>
Novi Sad, Serbia<br>
<br>
ECBS 2012 will be the 19th formal IEEE sponsored meeting dedicated
to formulating and advancing methods, techniques and tools for the
engineering of computer-based systems.<br>
<br>
The conference is devoted to the analysis, design, development,
deployment, and evolution of complex systems whose behaviour is
largely determined or controlled by computers. Such systems – also
called cyber-physical systems –are characterized by functional as
well as dependability requirements that mandate the tight
integration of information processing and physical processes.
Therefore, ECBS integrates several disciplines, including software,
hardware, and communication into a complete systems engineering
approach.<br>
<br>
ECBS 2012 addresses many facets that include system modeling;
requirements engineering; simulation, verification and validation;
architectures, software and hardware platforms, and infra
structures; dependability, safety, and security; human computer
interfacing; large-scale systems and system integration; engineering
processes; evolution.<br>
<br>
The conference provides a bridge between industry and academia,
blending academic research and industrial developments. Papers are
sought which reflect this theme, according to the following thematic
tracks:<br>
<ul>
<li>Adaptive Computing & Autonomic Systems</li>
<li>Distributed Systems Design & Architecture</li>
<li>ECBS Infrastructure (Tools, Platforms)</li>
<li>Embedded Real-Time Software Systems</li>
<li>Model-based System Development</li>
<li>Model-based Simulation & Validation</li>
<li>Verification & Validation</li>
<li>Domain-Specific Modeling</li>
<li>Reengineering & Reuse</li>
<li>Evolution & Change</li>
</ul>
Reports of practical solutions, trends and new system
characteristics for ECBS, taking an integrated systems approach, may
include application domains such as: Aeronautics, Automotive and
Telematics, Industrial Automation and Process Control, Medical
Systems, Smart Energy Systems, Smart Sensor Networks and
Environmental Systems, Telecommunication & Internet Technology
and Applications.<br>
Workshops<br>
<br>
As in the previous years, ECBS 2012 offers to host workshops. Please
contact the organizers (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ecbs2012-tcm@fortiss.org">ecbs2012-tcm@fortiss.org</a>) for more
information.<br>
<br>
<b>Poster Sessions</b><br>
<br>
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.<br>
Doctoral Symposium<br>
<br>
The Doctoral Symposium provides a forum for PhD candidates to
present work in progress and get feedback from the research
community while also publishing a full paper in the IEEE
proceedings.<br>
<br>
<b>Industrial Track</b><br>
<br>
The industrial track provides a forum for short papers on results of
industrial research and development.<br>
<br>
<b>Submission of Papers</b><br>
<br>
Full papers and Doctoral Symposium papers must be 6 to max 10 pages
in Computer Society Format, posters 5 pages max and industrial track
papers 2 to 4 pages. Papers must be submitted via EasyChair and are
requested to be allocated to one of the defined ECBS tracks. For
further information see the submission guidelines on the conference
web site.<br>
<br>
For Full Papers and Doctoral Symposium Papers, the Program Committee
will select a best paper award.<br>
