ICSE 14 CALL FOR PAPERS 14th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING Melbourne Australia 11-15 May 1992 World Congress Centre PAPERS, PANEL PROPOSALS,TUTORIAL PROPOSALS, EXPERIENCE REPORTS AND TOOL EXHIBITS THEME: TRUSTED SYSTEMS Society is becoming increasingly reliant on computerized systems for tasks such as communication, group interaction, financial planning, decision making, product design, production, and distribution. Today computerized systems manage complex applications such as industrial plants, health systems, defence systems, and air traffic control. The quality of human life, and even life itself, is increasingly dependent on such applications. A key question then is how can we build these complex systems so that they deserve the trust that we must ultimately place upon them. This fundamental question can be decomposed into several more specific questions. For example, how can these systems be specified and how can these specifications be assessed? How can we reliably derive components from these specifications or construct systems from existing reliable components? How can we plan and control such a project? How can we support and monitor development and evolution assuring reliability throughout the process? Such questions are being addressed by researchers with the goal of finding long-term solutions. At the same time, practitioners are accumulating experience with methods and tools and providing researchers with vital feedback. ICSE provides a forum for both communities to meet and exchange ideas and experiences. ICSE will offer a variety of presentations: tutorials, refereed research and experience papers, panels, tools demonstrations, and poster sessions. The goals of the conference are (1) to present the most current and outstanding theoretical, experimental, and practical work being conducted in support of software engineering, with special emphasis on those efforts that support the development and maintenance of trusted systems and (2) to present a view of the state-of-the-art and practice of software engineering. SUBMISSIONS: REFEREED PAPERS are limited to 6000 words, with full-page figures being counted as 300 words. These papers should include a short abstract, list of keywords, and lead author's address. The content of these papers should not have been published before nor currently being considered for publication elsewhere. Refereed papers will be evaluated with respect to originality, significance, soundness, and clarity. Papers presenting research, experimental, or experience results are welcome. Research papers should indicate how the results contribute to software engineering practice. Experimental papers should describe the experimental method and interpret the results in terms of practice. Experience papers should describe practical experience with state- of-the-art software engineering methods or tools and, most importantly, assess the costs and benefits resulting from their use. All papers should indicate what is new and significant about the work presented and how it compares with related work. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings. The program committee will also select the best accepted papers to be considered for publication in a special issue of a major journal. PANEL PROPOSALS should include the title, a brief substantive description, the panel chair and panelists (including short vitae). Proposals will be selected according to the substance and contribution to the conference program. POSTER PAPERS should be no more than 2 pages in length and may report anything from new results to experience. Poster papers will be selected on the basis of interest and contribution to the conference program and will be grouped into sessions of 10 minute presentations. Eight (8) copies of REFEREED PAPERS, PANEL PROPOSALS, and POSTER PAPERS should be submitted by September 6, 1991 to Program Co-chair, Lori A Clarke. TUTORIAL PROPOSALS should describe important software engineering methods and tools and include a detailed description of a half or full day tutorial and the relevant experience of the tutor. Proposals will be selected to their substance and contribution to the conference program. Tutorial proposals should be submitted by September 6, 1991 to the Tutorial Chair, Dewayne E Perry. TOOLS FAIR PROPOSALS should represent current experimental and commercial state-of-the-art tools and include a brief description of the tool and the planned demonstration, indicating if a presentation is desired. Exhibits and presentations will be selected on the basis of their importance, relevance, and novelty. Tools Fair proposals should be submitted by 31 January 1992 to the Tools Fair Chair, John Leaney.
