CALL FOR PAPERS

22nd International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS 2017)

|| November 5-8, 2017, Fukuoka, Japan
|| Website: https://iceccs.github.io/2017/

## Overview
Over the past several years, 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 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Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, unpublished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 toolsed 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
Architecture software
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 IEEE 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 IEEE guidelines:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

We invite all prospective authors to submit their manuscripts via the
ICECCS'17 portal, hosted on EasyChair
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iceccs2017

## Conference proceeding
The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Conference
Publishing Services (EI indexed).

## Important Dates
Abstract submission: 5th June 2017 (Extended to 19th June 2017)
Paper submission: 19th June 2017 (Extended to 3rd July 2017)
Notification of acceptance: 14th August 2017
Camera ready copy due: 4th September 2017
