This spawned<br>the relatively new academic field of "system architecture &<br>engineering", producing a body of research that allows engineers to<br>manage the increasing complexity of the technical systems they<br>design. By its very nature, this field is at the interface between<br>industry and academia, and requires its practitioners to be well<br>versed in industrial application-related as well as theoretical<br>knowledge. The ambition of the CSDM conference is to be the meeting<br>point of reference for the industrial and academic environments<br>working in the design and management of complex industrial systems.<br><br>*Important dates*<br><br>- Optional abstract pre-submission deadline: January 4, 2010<br>- Submission deadline: January 22, 2010<br>- Acceptance notice for industrial contributions: March 15, 2010<br>- Acceptance notice for academics contributions: March 31, 2010<br>- Final version submission deadline: May 31, 2010<br>- Conference: October 27-29, 2010<br><br>*Submission procedure*<br><br>As the CSDM conference is both industrial and academic, there will be<br>different submission procedures according to the type of submitted<br>contributions. Industrial submissions are aimed to present good<br>practices in industry, shared experiences and case studies: either a<br>12-pages PDF-formatted paper or a 15-slides PowerPoint presentation is<br>acceptable for selection purposes. Scientific submissions are aimed to<br>present innovative methodological, technical or scientific results: a<br>12-pages PDF-formatted paper is necessary for selection purposes.<br>Subject to contribution acceptance, inclusion on the Springer<br>proceedings book requires a 12-pages paper formatted according to<br>specific Springer style files. More details can be found on the<br>conference website.<br><br>*Proceedings and publications*<br><br>The conference proceedings will be published in a dedicated 2-volume<br>edited book by Springer-Verlag (Science and Engineering). Selected<br>papers will be published in special issues appearing in international<br>journals covering the conference topics. We already have an agreement<br>with Concurrent Engineering Research and Applications.<br><br>*Topics*<br><br>_Industrial domains_<br> Constructors and operators of transportation systems<br> Defense and security<br> Electronics and robotics<br> Energy and environment<br> Health and welfare services<br> Media and communications<br> Software and e-services<br><br>_Scientific and technical topics_<br> Systems fundamentals (algorithmics & complexity, control theory,<br> communications, mathematical programming, semantics, systemics,<br> information technology, signal processing)<br> Systems architecture (needs capture, requirements development,<br> systems modelling, simuling, optimization, sizing and<br> specification, architectural frameworks)<br> Systems engineering (design, industrialization, integration,<br> verification, validation, qualification, deployment,<br> maintenance, dismantling)<br> Industrial projects (innovation management, systems project<br> management, agile methods, test oriented methods, project office)<br> Systems metrics (architectural metrics, complexity measures, cost &<br> delay evaluation, key performance indicators, quality of service)<br> Systems quality (analysis and covering of risks, availability,<br> maintenability, operability, reliability, security, safety and<br> usability analyses, tests)<br> Systemic tools (configuration management, formal verification,<br> system behaviour analysis tools, modelling & simuling tools,<br> test management)<br><br>_Systems types_<br> Embedded systems (electronics, health, telecoms, transport, etc.)<br> Transportation systems (aerospace, automobile, railways, ships, etc.)<br> Software systems (Internet applications, networks, operating systems,<br> parallel and distributed systems, etc.)<br> Information systems (command, control & communication systems,<br> enterprise information systems (BI, CRM, EII, ERP, SCM), industrial<br> information systems (SCADA, PLM, etc.), supervision systems, etc.)<br> Systems of systems (air traffic management, management of financial<br> systems, network centric warfare, travel reservation systems, etc.)<br> Artificial eco-systems (city planning & engineering, integrated hubs, etc.)<br><br>*Programme committee*<br><br> Academic Industrial<br> ---------- <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; ">        </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; ">        </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; ">        </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; ">        </span>--------<br> Co-chairs:<br> M.
