Such systems are characterized by functional,<br>performance, and reliability requirements that mandate the tight integration<br>of information processing and physical processes.<br><br>ECBS integrates software, hardware, and communication perspective of <br>system engineering through its many facets that include system modeling,<br>requirements specification, simulation, architectures, safety, security,<br>reliability, human–computer interaction, system integration, verification and<br>validation, high performance/parallel computing, cloud-based technologies,<br>and project management. The conference provides a bridge between industry<br>and academia, blending academic research and industrial development.<br><br>The proceedings will be published in the International Conference<br>Proceedings Series of ACM and after the conference they will be accessible in<br>the ACM Digital Library. A Best Paper Award will be presented to the best<br>paper presented at the conference, and a Best Student Paper Award will be<br>presented to the best paper written solely or mostly by students.<br><br><br><b>Scope<br></b><br>Papers are sought which reflect this intent in fundamental ECBS technologies<br>and application domains including, but not limited to the following topics:<br><br>· Agile and Lean Approaches and Human Aspects of Software Development<br>· Architectures<br>· Advanced Modularity<br>· Cloud-based Applications <br>· Co-Design<br>· Component-Based System Design<br>· Cyber-Physical Systems <br>· Parallel & Distributed Systems<br>· Parallel Programming Methodologies and Languages<br>· FPGA Systems Design<br>· ECBS Infrastructure (Tools and Environments)<br>· Education and Training<br>· Embedded Real-Time Software Systems<br>· Integration Engineering<br>· Lifecycle Processes and Process Evolution<br>· Model-Based System Development<br>· Modeling and Analysis of Complex Systems<br>· Networked Control Systems<br>· Reengineering & Reuse<br>· Reliability, Safety, Dependability, and Security<br>· Software Engineering<br>· System Assessment, Testing, and Metrics<br>· Verification and Validation<br><br>Industrial reports of practical solutions, trends, and new system<br>characteristics for ECBS, taking an integrated systems approach, are<br>particularly welcome. They may target application domains such as:<br>Aerospace Systems, Command and Control, Continuous and Discrete<br>Manufacturing, Environmental Systems, Instrumentation and Control<br>Applications, Internet Technology and Applications, Intelligent Highway-<br>Vehicle Systems (IHVS), Medical Systems, High Performance Computing<br>Development Environments and Applications, and Telecommunications.<br><br><br><b>Submission of Papers<br></b><br>The conference solicits regular (no more than 10 pages) and short papers (no<br>more than 4 pages). The Program Committee may require an accepted paper<br>to be adapted into a short paper or extended abstract (no more than 2 pages<br>and poster presentation only). All papers must be prepared according to the<br>ACM SIG Proceedings Template format (see the conference web site for<br>further information). The papers must be original contributions not submitted<br>or accepted for publication elsewhere. A submitted contribution should<br>clearly indicate the conference topics it targets. For an accepted contribution<br>to be included in the proceedings, at least one author must register and<br>present the paper at the conference. For further information, see the<br>submission guidelines on the conference web site. The conference<br>proceedings will be published by ACM ICPS and archived in the ACM<br>Digital Library.<br><br><br><b>Important Dates<br></b><br>· Submission of Papers: 1 June, 2017 (firm)<br>· Notification of Acceptance: 1 July, 2017<br>· Camera-ready Submission: 17 July, 2017<br>· Registration and Payment for Authors: 17 July, 2017<br>· Early Registration for Non-Authors: 9 August, 2017<br><br><br><b>Organization</b><br><br><u>General Chair<br></u>· George A.
