DESCRIPTION: IEEE Computer Society's Third International Conference on the
Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS'97) is to be held in Como,
Italy, in September 1997.

SCOPE: Complex computer systems are common in many sectors, such as
manufacturing, communications, defense, transportation, aerospace,
hazardous environments, energy, and health care. These systems are
frequently distributed over heterogeneous networks, and are driven by many
diverse requirements on performance, real-time behavior, fault tolerance,
security, adaptability, development time and cost, long life concerns, and
other areas. Such requirements frequently conflict, and their satisfaction
therefore requires managing the trade-off among them during system
development and throughout the entire system life. The goal of this
conference is to bring together industrial, academic, and government
experts from these 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 will be examined on a
level playing field.
