IEEE COMPSAC 2007 - Call for participation


                                     Call for Participation
    The 31st Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference

                                           (COMPSAC 2007)

                                Beijing, China, July 24 - 27, 2007

                              Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society

                    Signature Conference on Software Technology & Applications

You are cordially invited to participate in COMPSAC 2007
(http://compsac.org), to be held for the first time in Beijing, China
on July 23-37, 2007. COMPSAC is a major international forum for
researchers, practitioners, managers, and policy makers interested in
computer software and applications. It was first held in Chicago in
1977, and since then it has been one of the major forums for academia,
industry, and government to discuss the state of art, new advances,
and future trends in software technologies and practices.

The creation of trustworthy and dependable software spans all aspects
of software engineering. COMPSAC is a unique forum to bring together
these facets and their major stakeholders. Building on the
trustworthy, secure, and dependable software themes of highly
successful recent COMPSAC conferences, the technical theme for the
31st conference is

                  SOFTWARE ENGINEERING -- CRITICAL FEATURES and INFRASTRUCTURES

The program of COMPSAC 2007 will continue to feature research and
industrial practice papers with a wide range of topics, focusing on
the software engineering of critical infrastructure systems such as,
but not limited to, civil, telecommunications, and medical
systems. This year, we received 325 paper submissions worldwide. Only
59 high quality research papers were finally accepted as regular
papers and 34 were accepted as short papers after a thorough and
rigorous review process. The technical program also consists of 3
keynotes, 7 panels, 4 tutorials, 14 workshops, fast abstracts, an
industrial day, and a doctoral symposium.

COMPSAC 2007 Technical Program

COMPSAC 2007 Tutorials

Monday July 23 2007

9:00-16:00 Tutorial 1: Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA): The
Missing Link Between Business and Technology

Dr. M.E. Fayad (Room: SH-1)

Abstract:

A Pattern Topology for SOA is proposed to be developed as a system of
patterns including the core knowledge of SOA. It will be prepared in a
cognitive process of understanding and generalizing the main concepts
associated with SOAs that are independent from any particular
application and will serve as a strong backbone design for any related
applications.

About the instructor:

M.E. Fayad is a Full Professor of Computer Engineering at San Jose
State University. He has given seminars on SE Technologies at many
conferences and countries. He is the lead author of several Wiley books

13:00-16:30 Tutorial 2: Setting a Software Test Management
Environment

Dr. Rajesh Subramanyan (Room: SH-2)

Member Technical Staff, Software Engineering

Siemens Corporate Research

755 College Road East

Princeton, NJ 08540

email: rajesh.subramanyan@siemens.com

Abstract:

Test Management helps testers of large projects to coordinate together
their activities, track progress and handle changes.

Commercial test management tools are available to assist testers. This
tutorial covers basics and necessary activities in test management,
executing testing activities with test management tools, providing
traceability between requirements-test cases-test results-defects,
defect tracking, reporting and analysis. Exercises on formulating test
management requirements for a sample project, planning, determining
type of reporting required and how to use the information to control
testing activities will be conducted in this 3 hour tutorial.

About the instructor:

Rajesh Subramanyan is with Software Engineering department at Siemens
Corporate Research, Princeton, NJ, USA. He is associated with the
Software Testing program. Prior to joining Siemens, he was a visiting
assistant professor with Computer Science department, Purdue
University between the years 2003-2005. He developed and ran a
software development lifecycle program in collaboration with several
large companies. He was also the department coordinator and team
advisor for an interdisciplinary program called engineering projects
in community service (EPICS). His technical interests include software
engineering and performance management. He received a PhD in ECE from
Purdue and MS in EE from the University of Houston.

Friday July 27 2007

10:00-17:00 Tutorial 3 Just Enough Requirements Management

Dr. Alan M. Davis (Room:SH-1)

Professor, College of Business

University of Colorado at Colorado Springs

PO Box 7150

Colorado Springs, CO 80933-7150

email: adavis@uccs.edu

Abstract:

Requirements management (RM) needs to be made simpler, not more
complex. And in today's world, where you need to accelerate
development dramatically, RM must reduce, not extend, the total
development effort. This tutorial will expose participants to
easy-to-follow simple procedures that enable projects to start
development quickly. It will increase the likelihood that systems will
satisfy real user needs when delivered. Participants will learn the
roles of systems and software requirements in system development,
appreciate differences between elicitation, triage, and requirements
specification, and be capable of selecting and using requirements
techniques. The tutorial will cover a subset of the many principles
put forth in the speaker's latest book, Just Enough Requirements
Management (Dorset House).

About the instructor:

Al Davis is a professor at U. Colorado at Colorado Springs. He was a
member of the board of directors of Requisite, CEO of Omni-Vista, VP
at BTG, and Director of the Software Technology Center at GTE
Laboratories. He has held academic positions at George Mason U.;
U. Tennessee; U Western Cape, South Africa; U. Jos, Nigeria;
U. Technology, Sydney, Australia; and

U. Illinois at Urbana. He was EIC of IEEE Software 1994-1998. He is an editor for Journal of Systems and Software. He is the author of
Software Requirements, 201 Principles of Software Development, Great Software Debates, and Just Enough Requirements Management. He has published 100
+ articles and lectured 500+ times in over 20 countries. He is a fellow
of

IEEE and earned his Ph.D. (Computer Science) from U. Illinois.

14:00-16:30 Tutorial 4: Emerging Technologies in Industrial Context: Component-Based and Service-Based Software Engineering

Dr. Ivica Crnkovic (Room:SH-9)

Abstract:

Component-based software engineering (CBSE) and service-oriented software engineering (SOSE) are two similar but distinguished
approaches in software engineering. In this tutorial, we compare CBSE and SOSE
and analyze them from different perspectives. We discuss the possibility
of combining the strengths of the two paradigms.

About the instructor:

Ivica Crnkovic is professor in Software Engineering at Malardalen University, Sweden. He has been co-organizer of CBSE symposium in last six years and has written a book and many papers in this area.

Panel 4: Test Automation in Practice

Developing and implementing a successful test automation strategy can provide enormous benefit for a software project.

However, automating tests is not cheap or easy. It does not replace
the need for manual testing or enable to "down-size"

the testing group. Automated testing can be made to be cost-effective, if best practices are applied to the process.

This panel goal is to discuss techniques that are able to facilitate
the adoption of test automation in practice.
