The International Conference on Systems (ICONS 2006) initiates a series of events covering a broad spectrum of topics. The conference covers fundamentals on designing, implementing, testing, validating and maintaining various kinds of software and hardware systems. Several tracks are proposed to treat the topics from theory to practice, in terms of methodologies, design, implementation, testing, use cases, tools, and lessons learnt. The conference has the following tracks: Track 1: Systems’ theory and practice Track 2: System engineering Track 3: Systems’ instrumentation Track 4: Embedded systems and systems-on-the-chip Track 5: Target-oriented systems Track 6: Specialized systems Track 7: Validation systems Track 8: Security and protection systems Track 9: Application-oriented systems Track 10: Advanced systems We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, implementations, running experiments and applications. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited topic areas. Industrial presentations are not subject to these constraints. Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged. The following track topics are expected to be covered: Track 1: Systems Theory and Practice Systems design methodologies and techniques Track 2: Systems engineering Systems requirements Track 3: Systems’ Instrumentation Metering embedded sensors Track 4: Embedded systems and systems-on-the-chip Real-time embedded systems Track 5: Target-oriented systems Information systems Track 6: Specialized systems Sensor-based systems Track 7: Validation systems Test systems Track 8: Security and protection systems Security systems Track 9: Application-oriented systems Web-cashing systems Track 10: Advanced systems Interactive systems INSTRUCTION FOR THE AUTHORS The ICONS 2006 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and on-line via IEEE XPlore Digital Library. IEEE will index the papers with major indexes. Important deadlines:
Best paper awards will be granted by the IARIA award selection committee. Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All received papers will be acknowledged via the EDAS system. The files should be sent via http://www.iaria.org/conferences/SubmitICONS06.html Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11" (two columns IEEE format), not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found on the Instructions page. Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12 slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides, in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will be published in the conference’s CD collection, together with the regular papers. Please send your presentations to petre@iaria.org. Tutorials Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals can be for half or full day tutorials. Please send your proposals to petre@iaria.org Panel proposals: The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines. Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as well as short biographies. For more information, petre@iaria.org Workshop proposals We welcome workshop proposals on issues complementary to the topics of this conference. Your requests should be forwarded to petre@iaria.org .
