September 7-8, 2009
At the Master Center, Novi Sad, Serbia
Hosted by the University of Novi Sad

"Setting New ECBS Frontiers..."

ECBS-EERC was established at the ECBS 2008 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to allow ECBS academics and practitioners in Eastern Europe to assemble, present papers, and produce a conference publication. The main goal is to provide professional conference opportunity for Eastern Europeans and still keep the meeting costs attractive. Acceptance of papers is based on a submitted abstract and conference proceedings are published on a DVD.

ECBS-EERC 2009 will be the 1st formal IEEE sponsored meeting dedicated to formulating and advancing methods, techniques and tools for the engineering of computer-based systems in the Eastern European Region. The conference is devoted to the design, development, deployment, and analysis of complex systems whose behavior is largely determined or controlled by computers. Such systems are characterized by functional, performance, and reliability requirements that mandate the tight integration of information processing and physical processes.

ECBS has many facets that include system modeling, requirements specification, simulation, architectures, communications, safety, security, reliability, software, hardware, human computer interfacing, system integration, verification and validation, and project management. Effectively, ECBS integrates several disciplines, including software, hardware, and communications, into a complete systems engineering approach.

The conference provides a bridge between industry and academia, blending academic research and industrial developments. Papers are sought which reflect this theme, in fundamental ECBS technologies, or application domains, as listed below.

Adaptive Computing
Agile Development
Architectures
Autonomic Systems
Co-design
Component-Based System Design
