COMPUTING, SOFTWARE, CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND APPLICATIONS
31st Annual IEEE International Computer Software and Applications Conference
Beijing, July 23-27, 2OO7
FUTURE: NEXT TIME IN TURKU, FINLAND!
COMPSAC2008 WELCOMES YOU!
BACKGROUND
Beginning 2006, Compsac is designated as the IEEE Computer Society Signature Conference on Software Technology and Applications. You can always find the latest information of Compsac at http://compsac.org from year to year.
COMPSAC is a major international forum for researchers, practitioners, managers, and policy makers interested in computer software and applications. It was first held in Chicago in 1977, and since then it has been one of the major forums for academia, industry, and government to discuss the state of art, new advances, and future trends in software technologies and practices. The technical program includes keynote addresses, research papers, industrial case studies, panel discussions and fast abstracts. It also includes a number of workshops on emerging important topics.
It should be noted that all IEEE COMPSAC conference proceedings are published by IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (CPS). All CPS Publications are captured in the online IEEE Digital Library, and professionally indexed through INSPEC and EI Index (Elsevier's Engineering Information Index).

IEEE COMPSAC is a major international forum for researchers, practitioners, managers, and policy makers interested in computer software and applications. It was first held in Chicago in 1977, and since then it has been one of the major forums for academia, industry, and government to discuss the state of art, new advances, and future trends in software technologies and practices. The technical program includes keynote addresses, research papers, industrial case studies, panel discussions and fast abstracts. It also includes a number of workshops on emerging important topics.
The creation of trustworthy and dependable software spans all aspects of software engineering. COMPSAC is a unique forum to bring together these facets and their major stakeholders. Building on the trustworthy, secure, and dependable software themes of highly successful recent COMPSAC conferences, the technical theme for the 31st conference is SOFTWARE ENGINEERING -- CRITICAL FEATURES and INFRASTRUCTURES
The program of COMPSAC 2007 will continue to feature research and industrial practice papers with a wide range of topics, focusing on the software engineering of critical infrastructure systems such as, but not limited to, civil, telecommunications, and medical systems. To properly engineer such systems, the foundations, methodologies, and mechanisms that support the design, modelling, and evaluation of software systems must come from diverse sources. Topics of interest include requirement analysis, co-analysis and co-design, modelling, design, development, testing, measurement, verification and validation for performance, safety, security, and dependability constraints. Effective construction of these systems is not limited solely to the field of computer science and engineering and is truly a multidisciplinary effort. Multidisciplinary work, research and development software prototypes, industry-university collaborations, all based on new emerging and critical technologies will be of particular interest to this conference. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings in hardcopy and on-line version by the IEEE Computer Society. Plans had been made to forward select papers to archival journals for publications.
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers as well as industrial practice papers. Detailed instructions for electronic paper submission, panel and workshop proposals, tutorial proposals, doctoral symposium and review process can be found at http://www.compsac.org/. The length of the camera-ready of an accepted full paper and short paper will be limited to 8 and 4 (IEEE Proceedings style) pages, respectively, and printed on 10-12 point fonts. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to pay full registration fee to the conference. Each accepted paper must be presented in person by the author or one of the authors. One Best Paper award and 1-3 Best Student Paper Awards will be presented by COMPSAC 2007. The first author of the best student papers must be full-time students.
