by CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Symposium on Application-Specific Systems and Software Engineering
Technology (ASSET'99)
March 24-27, 1999, Richardson, Texas
The goal of this symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners
interested in all aspects of software engineering as it applies to software
development in specific application domains such as telecommunications,
real-time embedded systems, and business information systems. The symposium
will take place in the "Telecom Corridor" and aims to improve the dialog
between industry and academia by providing a forum for state-of-the-art
research and practice.
SCOPE
-----
The main focus of this symposium is on application-specific system engineering
and software engineering issues encountered in the design and development of
complex systems. The symposium will consist of technical papers, panels, and
tutorials. Participation from both industry and academia is sought. The
topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
. Experiences in software design, development, and validation for
telecommunication, embedded, multimedia, wireless, and mobile systems.
. Specialized systems and software engineering techniques, including
specification, design, and development techniques for telecommunication,
embedded, and transaction processing systems.
. Integrated system design and assessment techniques that consider multiple
systems requirements, such as security, real-time, reliability,
availability, survivability, etc.
. Techniques and algorithms in network security, real-time communication,
network management, telecontrol, and high speed networks.
. CASE tools for application-specific systems development.
. Simulation environments for integrated design and assessment.
. Quality of service analysis for various application systems.
. Performance modeling and evaluation for application-specific systems.
. Application-specific verification, validation, and assessment techniques.
