The International Conference on Systems (ICONS 2007) initiates a series of
events covering a broad spectrum of topics. The conference covers
fundamentals on designing, implementing, testing, validating and
maintaining various kinds of software and hardware systems. Several tracks
are proposed to treat the topics from theory to practice, in terms of
methodologies, design, implementation, testing, use cases, tools, and
lessons learnt.

The conference has the following tracks:

Track 1: Systems' theory and practice
Track 2: System engineering
Track 3: Systems' instrumentation
Track 4: Embedded systems and systems-on-the-chip
Track 5: Target-oriented systems
Track 6: Specialized systems
Track 7: Validation systems
Track 8: Security and protection systems

We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results,
position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such
as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia,
survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the
above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.

The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of
concepts, state of the art, standards, implementations, running
experiments and applications. Authors are invited to submit complete
unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or
journal in the following, but not limited topic areas. Industrial
presentations are not subject to these constraints. Tutorials on specific
related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.

The ICONS 2007 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society
Press and on-line via IEEE XPlore Digital Library. IEEE will index the
papers with major indexes.

The following track topics are expected to be covered:

Track 1: Systems Theory and Practice

Systems design methodologies and techniques
Formal methods to specify systems' behavior
Online and offline systems
Open and closed systems

INSTRUCTION FOR THE AUTHORS

The ICONS 2007 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society
Press and on-line via IEEE XPlore Digital Library. IEEE will index the
papers with major indexes.

Best paper awards will be granted by the IARIA award selection committee.

Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All
received papers will be acknowledged via the EDAS system.

The files should be sent via
http://www.iaria.org/conferences/SubmitICONS07.html
<http://www.iaria.org/conferences2007/SubmitICONS07.html>

Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11" (two columns IEEE format), not
exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The
formatting instructions can be found on the Instructions page
<http://www.iaria.org/instructions.html#format> .

Once you receive the notification of paper acceptance, you will be
provided by the IEEE CS Press an online author kit with all the steps an
author needs to follow to submit the final version. The author kits URL
will be included in the letter of acceptance.

Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations

The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and
positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12
slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides,
in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will be published in the
conference's CD collection, together with the regular papers. Please send
your presentations to [email-masked] <mailto:[email-masked]> .

Tutorials

Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals can
be for half or full day tutorials. Please send your proposals to
[email-masked] <mailto:[email-masked]>

Panel proposals:

The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize
dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and
paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage
that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines.
Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their
background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as
well as short biographies.
