WELCOME to COMPSAC 2009 !

 

33rd Annual IEEE International Computer Software and Applications Conference

Seattle,Washington, July 20 - July 24, 2009
Co-located with IPSJ/IEEE SAINT 2009

 BACKGROUND

 

COMPSAC is designated as the IEEE Computer Society Signature Conference on Computer, Software and Applications. You can always find the latest information of COMPSAC at http://compsac.orgbfrom year to year. In 2009, COMPSAC is co-located with IPSJ/IEEE SAINT Conference ( http://saintconference.org/) .

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 the 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, dependable and distributed computer services satisfying the needs of environments spans all aspects of software systems engineering. COMPSAC is a unique forum to bring together these facets and their major stakeholders. Building on the trustworthy, secure, and dependable distributed software themes of highly successful recent COMPSAC conferences, the technical theme for the 33rd conference is Harmonizing Humans, Computers, and Software in Services Environments.

The program of COMPSAC 2009 will continue to feature research and industrial practice papers with a wide range of topics, focusing (but not exclusively) on software and middleware development for distributed platforms, social and collaborative networks, services computing, cloud computing, data center design and applications, communication applications, and mobile and embedded systems. To properly engineer such domains, the foundations, methodologies, and mechanisms that support the design, modelling, and evaluation of software systems and computer applications must come from diverse sources. Topics of interest include but are not limited to requirement analysis, co-analysis/co-design, modelling, development, testing, measurement, verification, validation, performance, autonomy, safety, security, and dependability constraints. Effective construction of these systems is not limited solely to the field of computer science and engineering and comes as a synergetic effort, between various domains of research. Multidisciplinary work, research and development of 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 electronic proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society, indexed through INSPEC and EI Index, and automatically included in the IEEE digital library.

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers as well as industrial practice papers. Simultaneous submissions to other publication venues are not permitted. Detailed instructions for electronic paper submission, panel and workshop proposals, fast abstracts, doctoral symposium and review process can be found at http://www.compsac.org/. The length of the camera-ready accepted papers will be limited to 8 (IEEE Proceedings style) pages, and printed with 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 (regular, short, workshop) or fast abstract 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. At least one Best Paper Award and 1-3 Best Student Paper Awards will be presented by COMPSAC 2009. The first author of the best student papers must be a full-time student. Doctoral Symposium papers are encouraged with reduced student registration rate.
