ICECCS 2009 - Fourteenth IEEE International Conference on Engineering of Complex ICECCS 2009

The goal of ICECCS is to bring together industrial, academic, and government experts, from a variety of user domains and software disciplines, to determine how the disciplines' problems and solution techniques interact within the whole system. Researchers, practitioners, tool developers and users, and technology transition experts are all welcome. The scope of interest includes long-term research issues, near-term complex system requirements and promising tools, existing complex systems, and commercially available tools.

Scope and Topics
----------------
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:

Avionics and Automobile Software
Content Production and Distribution Systems, Mobile and Multi-channel Systems
Context Awareness Computing
Formal Methods and Approaches to Manage and Control Complex Systems
Engineering of Complex Interactive Computer Systems
Human Factors and Collaborative Aspects
Integration of Heterogeneous Technologies
