		      CompEuro 90 ISRAEL, 7-9 MAY 1990
			       Call for Papers

CompEuro     The goal of CompEuro conferences is to provide an annual
Conferences  international forum for computer experts to discuss latest
-----------  results on computer technologies, systems, applications
	     and their interaction. CompEuro conferences are sponsored
	     by the IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Region 8 comprising
	     Europe, Africa and the Near East.
Theme	     CompEuro 90 will focus on the systems engineering aspects
-----	     of complex computerized systems and their software. Most
	     modern computerized systems are multi-level and
	     multi-computer systems including hardware, software and
	     communications subsystems. Their engineering requires
	     expertise in those basic areas, a wide knowledge and
	     analytical insight of the application domains together
	     with systems integration skills and experience.
The purpose of the conference is to promote the state of the art of
computerized systems engineering and to present methods, approaches and tools
needed in the development of these complex systems. The presentation of
industrial development case studies will be encouraged. The conference theme
is therefore defined as:

		COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
	Systems Engineering Aspects of Complex Computerized Systems

	     This theme will be expanded to discuss the following topics:
	     1. Computer Systems Engineering and Embedded Computed Systems
		* Systems analysis
		* System and computer architectures and their evaluation
		* Mutual impact and trade-offs systems and computer
		  architectures and software
		* Computer communications
		* Development and testing methods
		* Integration of large computerized systems
	     2. Software Engineering
		* Software system analysis
		* Requirements specification and top-level design
		* Software system architectures and their evaluation
		* Formal methods in software development
		* Development and testing methods
	     3. VLSI Systems
		* High performance, multiprocessing systems
		* VLSI impact on performance and on system integration
	     4. Rapid Prototyping of Systems and Software
		* Rapid prototyping techniques
		* Rapid prototyping laboratories and tools
	     5. Artificial Intelligence Techniques
		* Incorporation of Al techniques in systems implementations
		* Use of Al techniques in the development process
	     6. Development Environment
		* Architecture of development environments
		* Tools for systems engineering
		* Tools for software engineering
		* Hardware-Software integration issues
	     7. Management of the Development Process and Resources
		* Project management
		* Cost estimating techniques
		* Quality assurance and configuration management
		* Training of industrial personnel in industry and academia
