*** Call for Participation *** 5th European Conference on the Engineering of Computer Based Systems ECBS 2017 Lordos Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus 31 August - 1 September, 2017 http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi5... In Cooperation with ACM SIGAPP, SIGOPS and SIGSOFT *** Early Registration Deadline: 19 August, 2017 *** (collocated with the 8th International Conference on Information Inteligence Systems and Applications, http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi5... ECBS 2017 is a formal meeting dedicated to formulating and advancing methods, techniques, and tools for engineering of computer-based systems. The conference is devoted to the design, development, deployment, and analysis of the complex systems whose behavior is largely determined or controlled by computers. Such systems are characterized by functional, performance, and reliability requirements that mandate the tight integration of information processing and physical processes. ECBS integrates software, hardware, and communication perspective of system engineering through its many facets that include system modeling, requirements specification, simulation, architectures, safety, security, reliability, human-computer interaction, system integration, verification and validation, high performance/parallel computing, cloud-based technologies, and project management. The conference provides a bridge between industry and academia, blending academic research and industrial development. The 5th edition of the conference will be held in Larnaca, Cyprus. Larnaca is known for its palm-tree seafront, the Church of Saint Lazarus, the Hala Sultan Tekke, the Kamares Aqueduct and its medieval fort. It is built on the ruins of ancient Citium, which was the birthplace of Stoic philosopher Zeno. Larnaca is home to the country's primary airport, Larnaca International Airport. It also has a seaport and a marina. Larnaca is a highly touristic city and close to some of the best beaches of Cyprus in Ayia Napa and Protaras. The conference venue is the well known 4* hotel, Lordos Beach Hotel. The Lordos Beach Hotel is one of the leading 4 star hotels in Cyprus. Standing directly on the sandy beach of the Larnaca Bay it is ideally located yet close to both the Larnaca International Airport and the city centre. Set in its own gardens the Lordos Beach boasts a comfortable and stylish environment with professional service from caring staff. Extensively refurbished during 2002 and 2006, the guest rooms on all floors are equipped with all the facilities a discerning traveller expects and are luxuriously decorated in a natural pastel tones. The program of ECBS 2017 includes a keynote by Avgoustinos Constantinides, the Solutions Director of IBSCY Ltd. on the business value of the Cloud, and research papers. The conference attracted 42 paper submissions from 25 countries from many continents. After rigorous reviewing by at least three members of the Program Committee per paper, 16 full papers, 3 short papers and 3 posters were selected to form the technical program and be included in the conference proceedings to be published by ACM ICPS. Papers cover topics of interest in ECBS in areas of software engineering, parallel and distributed systems, embedded systems and networking.
