Conference date: July 17-19, 2013<br><br>Complex computer systems are common in many sectors, such as<br>manufacturing, communications, defense, transportation, aerospace,<br>hazardous environments, energy, and health care. These systems are<br>
frequently distributed over heterogeneous networks, and are driven by<br>many diverse requirements on performance, real-time behavior, fault<br>tolerance, security, adaptability, development time and cost, long<br>life concerns, and other areas. Such requirements frequently conflict,<br>
and their satisfaction therefore requires managing the trade-off among<br>them during system development and throughout the entire system<br>life. The goal of this conference is to bring together industrial,<br>academic, and government experts, from a variety of user domains and<br>
software disciplines, to determine how the disciplines' problems and<br>solution techniques interact within the whole system. Researchers,<br>practitioners, tool developers and users, and technology transition<br>experts are all welcome. The scope of interest includes long-term<br>
research issues, near-term complex system requirements and promising<br>tools, existing complex systems, and commercially available tools.<br><br><br>SCOPE AND TOPICS<br>---------------------------<br>Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, unpublished<br>
research results, case studies and toolset research results, case<br>studies and tools. Papers are solicited in all areas related to<br>complex computer-based systems, including the causes of complexity and<br>means of avoiding, controlling, or coping with complexity. Topic areas<br>
include, but are not limited to:<br><br>Requirement specification and analysis<br>Verification and validation<br>Security and privacy of complex systems<br>Model-driven development<br>Reverse engineering and refactoring<br>
Architecture software<br>Big Data Management<br>Ambient intelligence, pervasive computing<br>Ubiquitous computing, context awareness, sensor networks<br>Design by contract<br>Agile methods<br>Safety-critical & fault-tolerant architectures<br>
Adaptive, self-managing and multi-agent systems<br>Real-time, hybrid and embedded systems<br>Systems of systems<br>Tools and tool integration<br>Industrial case studies<br><br><br>SUBMISSION<br>---------------------------<br>
Different kinds of contributions are sought, including novel research,<br>lessons learned, experience reports, and discussions of practical<br>problems faced by industry and user domains. The ultimate goal is to<br>build a rich and comprehensive conference program that can fit the<br>
interests and needs of different classes of attendees: professionals,<br>researchers, managers, and students. A program goal is to organize<br>several sessions that include both academic and industrial papers on a<br>given topic and culminate panels to discuss relationships between<br>
industrial and academic research. Papers are divided into two<br>categories: Technical Papers and Experience Reports. The papers<br>submitted to both categories will be reviewed by program committee<br>members, and papers accepted in either category will be published in<br>
the conference proceedings. Technical papers should describe original<br>research, and industrial experience reports should describe practical<br>projects carried out in industry, and reflect on the lessons learnt<br>from them.<br>
<br>FULL PAPERS<br>Full papers are divided into two categories: Technical Papers and<br>Experience Reports. The papers submitted to both categories will be<br>reviewed by program committee members, and papers accepted in either<br>
category will be published in the conference proceedings. Technical<br>papers should describe original research, and experience reports<br>should present practical projects carried out in industry, and reflect<br>on the lessons learnt from them.<br>
<br>POSTER PAPERS<br>Poster paper submissions should specify in their abstract whether they<br>describe ongoing or PhD research. Both types of poster papers will be<br>reviewed by program committee members, and accepted posters will be<br>
published in the conference proceedings.<br><br>PAPER SUBMISSION<br>Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style<br>of the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format. Papers should not<br>exceed 10 pages for full papers and 2 pages for poster papers,<br>
including figures, references, and appendices. All submissions should<br>be in PDF format. Submissions not adhering to the specified format and<br>length may be rejected immediately, without review.<br><br>All submissions should be made through the Easychair Website:<br>
