In this sixth ICCBSS we look forward to expanding to issues of inter-
operability that have become critical for system development and
acquisition. ICCBSS 2007 will address a wide scope of challenges and
approaches -- technological and organizational -- for constructing,
acquiring, deploying, and sustaining software-intensive systems that
require interoperation among a wide variety of systems and components.
In this conference in transition,we are looking for contributions
related to COTS-Based systems, systems of systems, and systems
interoperability. These contributions can take the form of research
papers, experience reports, or surveys. We are focusing on the following
areas:
.. Software Engineering: architectures for interoperability; semantics
for interoperability; capitalizing on emergent behavior in systems-of-
systems; quality attributes in systems-of-systems (scalability, security,
performance, reliability, safety, usability.
.. Management: ownership; tendering and acquisition; business processes;
organizational issues in systems-of-systems; costing, risk management
and metrics in system-of-systems; diagnostic tools for system-of-systems.
.. Development Process: evaluation and selection of components; effects
of integration and interoperability requirements on development
processes; critical system development; COTS and component-based system
process integration; migration processes; testing in systems-of-systems;
maintenance, evolution, and obsolescence issues of systems-of-systems.
.. Technology: technologies for interoperability; benchmarking; open
source technology; autonomic computing; service-oriented architectures;
Web services; grid computing; dynamic system composition.
.. Marketplace: standards; legal issues (including FOSS).
Workshop Proposals: the conference aims to build and expand on existing
communities of interest; to define and describe integration and inter-
operability; and to develop a roadmap for the new research agendas,
a wonderful opportunity to be at the forefront of the new research
in integration and interoperability. We look for the workshop proposals
to facilitate this process. For submission information, please see
