We have seen a rapid rising emphasis on design, implement and manage complex computer 
systems which are present in every aspect of human activities, such as manufacturing, 
communications, defense, transportation, aerospace, hazardous environments, energy, 
and health care. The complex computer systems are frequently distributed over heterogeneous 
networks and processing large amount data. Complexity arises from many factors, 
including the dynamic environments and scenarios these systems operate in; demanding and 
sometimes conflicting requirements in functionality, efficiency, scalability, security, 
dependability, inoperability  and adaptability; as well as the large variation in
development methodology, programming languages and implementation details. The key issues 
in these systems include performance, real-time behavior, fault tolerance, security, 
adaptability, development time and cost, and long life concerns. 

The goal of this conference is to bring together industrial, academic, and government 
experts, from a variety of application domains and software disciplines, to discuss how 
the disciplines' problems and solution techniques interact within the whole system. 
Researchers, practitioners, tool developers and users, and technology transfer experts 
are all welcome. The scope of interest includes long-term research issues; near-term 
requirements and challenges; established complex systems; emerging promising tools; and 
retrospective and prospective reflections of research and development into complex systems.

*** Scope and Topics

Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, unpublished research results, 
case studies and tools. 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:

Requirement specification and analysis
Verification and validation
Security and privacy of complex systems
Model-driven development
Reverse engineering and refactoring
Software architecture 
Big Data Management
Ambient intelligence, pervasive computing
Ubiquitous computing, context awareness, sensor networks
Design by contract
Agile methods
Safety-critical & fault-tolerant architectures
Adaptive, self-managing and multi-agent systems
Real-time, hybrid and embedded systems
Systems of systems
Cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things (IoT)
Tools and tool integration
Industrial case studies
Applications to SAT/SMT techniques to analysis of complex systems


Different kinds of contributions are sought, including novel research, lessons learned, 
experience reports, and discussions of practical problems faced by industry and user domains. 
The ultimate goal is to build a rich and comprehensive conference program that can fit the 
interests and needs of different classes of attendees: professionals, researchers, managers, 
and students. A program goal is to organize several sessions that include both academic and 
industrial papers on a given topic and culminate panels to discuss relationships between 
industrial and academic research.

Full Papers

Full papers are divided into two categories: Technical Papers and Experience Reports. The papers 
submitted to both categories will be reviewed by program committee members, and papers accepted 
in either category will be published in the conference proceedings. Technical papers should 
describe original research, and experience reports should present practical projects carried 
out in industry, and reflect on the lessons learnt from them.

Short Papers

Short paper submissions describe early-stage, ongoing or PhD research. All short papers will be 
reviewed by program committee members, and accepted short papers will be published in the 
conference proceedings.

Paper Submissions

Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of the double-column CPS 
format. Full papers should not exceed 10 pages, and short papers should not exceed 4 pages, 
including figures, references, and appendices. All submissions should be in PDF format. 
Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be rejected immediately, 
without review.

Please prepare your manuscripts in accordance to the CPS guidelines:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

We invite all prospective authors to submit their manuscripts via the ICECCS'18 portal, 
hosted on EasyChair 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iceccs2018
