Background
For more than 22 years, the ACM Symposium on
applied computing has been a primary forum for applied computer scientists,
computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around
the world to collaborate for enhanced solutions. Considering
that the world's technology industries depend on reliable software, and
software is growing exponentially more complex each year, the quality of the
underlying software engineering methods is crucial for the success of nearly
all recent developments in other related fields. The Software Engineering Track
aims at providing researchers and practitioners with an embedded forum to
present and discuss their ideas about, and experiences of, improving SE
processes, models, reliability, verification and testing methods, CASE tools,
and new SE development concepts and fundamental paradigms. In addition, we have
a special focus on "Developing
Trustworthy Software Systems" as the theme for this year. SAC 2007 is sponsored by
the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP)
Call for Contributions
The
major theme for the SE track is Developing Trustworthy Software
Systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following
- Trustworthy Software Systems Development
- Requirements Engineering: System Security as Premier Requirement
- New Notations to capture the Notion of System Safety and Security
- System Security through Sound Software Architecture: Do
Flexibility and Security contradict each other?
- Aspect-Oriented Software Engineering: Aspects of Security and
Separations of Concern
- Safety-Oriented Software Engineering for Small Devices and Ubiquitous
Computing
- Software Testing, Validation and Verification
- Project Planning and Development Process Management
- Model-Driven Architecture and Interface Design
- Rapid Prototyping and Performance Estimations
- Software Metrics, Cost Estimations and Benchmarking
- Software Reuse and Component-Based Development
- CASE Tools and Artificial-Intelligence-Assisted Software Development
- Real-Time Embedded Systems
- Software Reliability Model and Implementation
- Software Fault Tolerance and Software Availability
- Reengineering for Safety and Security
- High-Level Programming and Software Engineering for Massive-Parallel
Computing and Cellular Automata
Information for Authors
Submit
unpublished original papers in the ACM format (about 5000 words) as PDF Files
via eCMS. If you experience technical problems with the eCMS system, please contact the eCMS
administrator Jeff Allen. Please do
not submit the same paper to more than one track. For a double-blind review
process, authors' names and affiliation should appear on a separate
front-sheet, not in the body of their submitted draft. Each accepted
paper has five pages free of charge. Three additional pages can be purchased at
an additional cost.
Each submitted paper will be carefully reviewed in a double-blind process
according to the ACM-SAC Regulations by at least three independent
reviewers. Paper selection will be based solely on scientific quality. Upon
acceptance of their paper, prospective authors must provide a revised,
camera-ready version of their paper which takes into account the comments made
by the anonymous reviewers, and which strictly obeys the type setting and
layout regulations of the ACM-SAC proceedings scheme. Papers that do not
conform to these layout rules cannot be accepted. For a paper to be printed in
the Conference Proceedings it is mandatory that at least one author of
that paper is registered for conference attendance.
