The Engineering of Computer-Based Systems conference provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to present research results, experiences, and challenges in the field of systems and software engineering. Systems and Software Engineering are about applying scientific principles to design, develop, verify, evaluate, and maintain software, while coping with complexity, helping to avoid omissions and invalid assumptions, managing real world changing issues, and producing the most efficient, economic and robust solutions.
Recent developments brought hard- and software-engineering to new complexities which require intensive care and efforts within the development cycle. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) lead introduced highly appreciated new functionalities and at the same time many questions on the inner workings of such complex systems. Especially the reasoning on why such systems computed a result is currently of high importance.
The theme of this year’s ECBS conference is “Engineering of Complex Hard- and Software-Systems”. This theme relates to the new AI/ML components being part of the larger systems as well as the challenges arising when such systems shall be predictable for safety related systems.
We appreciate submissions describing novel research results, tools supporting systems and software engineering, both academic and industrial prototypes, as well as results of applied research and experimental development and evaluations in the fields of systems and software engineering.
Submission Guidelines
All accepted papers are planned to be published by Springer ( https://www.computer.org/conferences/cps )
Full paper: Finished or consolidated R&D work. These papers are assigned a 10-page limit, including references.
Short paper: On-going work, must present factual nontrivial preliminary research results, proofs of concepts, or exploratory studies. Per reviewers’ comments, a “Regular Paper” manuscript may be conditionally accepted as a “Short Paper” should necessary content improvements and length reduction be able to be done in time. These papers are assigned a 6-page limit, including references.
Tool demonstration papers: Submissions describing the design and implementation of a software tool or framework. The tool/framework described in a tool demonstration paper should be available for public use. These papers are assigned a 6-page limit, including references.
Poster paper: Initial work with relevant ideas, open to discussion. These papers are assigned a 2-page limit.
All papers will be subjected to a “single-blind review” by at least three members of the Program Committee. A paper can be rejected or accepted by the Conference Chairs based on the reviews and discussion with the PC members. Borderline papers can be accepted as another type of submission.
Supplementary materials such as links to software implementation and datasets used for experiments may be also submitted but the paper should be self-contained.
Papers should be formatted using Springer conference proceedings template. https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to appear in the proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for ECBS 2024. Accepted papers will be presented orally or as a poster based on the decision of program chairs. The proceedings are planned to be published by Springer.
Papers have to be submitted electronically via EasyChair by the stated deadline: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecbs2024
Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere while under consideration for ECBS 2024. In addition, by submitting the paper the authors declare that they agree to the Springer plagiarism policy and procedure.
