CFP: COMPSAC 2010 in Seoul, Korea

COMPSAC2010 Call For Participation 34th Computer Software and Applications Conference Seoul, Korea 19-23 July 2010 Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society COMPSAC, the IEEE Signature Conference on Computers, Software & Applications , is one of the major international forums for academia, industry, and government to discuss research results, advances and future trends in computer and software technologies and applications. 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, distributed, and smart services satisfying the needs of today pervasive and ubiquitous computing environments spans all aspects of software systems engineering. COMPSAC is a unique forum bringing together these facets and their major stakeholders. It gives researchers and practitioners an opportunity to share their perspective with others interested in the various aspects of computer systems and applications. The technical theme for the 34th conference is Computationally Smart Environments. Smart software solutions applied to diverse areas (including but not limited to Healthcare, Energy, Social, Environmental, Industrial applications etc.) can improve efficiency, reliability, quality and simultaneously reduce costs. Requirement analysis, co-analysis/co-design, modeling, development, testing, measurement, verification, validation, performance, autonomy, safety, security, and dependability constraints are a few of numerous computing disciplines that can collectively contribute to these smart solutions and are some of the topics of interest. The program of COMPSAC 2010 will continue to feature research and industrial practice papers with a wide range of topics, focusing on software and middleware development for distributed platforms, services computing, cloud computing, and mobile systems. The program is not limited to these topics. Interdisciplinary submissions are also encouraged. To properly engineer smart solutions, the foundations, methodologies, and mechanisms that support the design, modeling, and evaluation of software systems and computer applications must come from diverse sources. 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 automatic inclusion 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 of an accepted paper will be limited to 8 (IEEE Proceedings style) pages, 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 (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 2010. Arrangements are being made to publish sets of the best technical contributions to reputable journals. The first author of the best student papers must be a full-time student. Doctoral Symposium papers are encouraged with reduced student registration rate.
