15th International Conference on the Engineering of Computer Based Systems, Odyssey, Belfast, Irland

ECBS 2008 will be the 15th formal IEEE sponsored meeting dedicated to formulating and advancing methods, techniques and tools for the engineering of computer&#8211;based systems&#046; The conference is devoted to the design, development, deployment, and analysis of complex systems whose behaviour is largely determined or controlled by computers&#046; Such systems are characterized by functional, performance, and reliability requirements that mandate the tight integration of information processing and physical processes&#046; <B>Keywords:</B> system modelling, requirements specification, simulation, architectures, communications, safety, security, reliability, software, hardware, human computer interfacing, system integration, verification and validation, and project management&#046; Effectively, ECBS integrates several disciplines, including software, hardware, and communications, into a complete systems engineering approach
