17th Monterey Workshop

Development, Operation and Management of
Large-Scale Complex IT Systems



March 19-21, 2012
Oxford, UK
 
 

Objectives of this workshop

Key critical applications in our economy and society rely increasingly on the dependable operation of large-scale complex IT systems. Such systems are created and evolved dynamically through the integration of independently built and controlled heterogeneous software components and infrastructure. As a result, traditional techniques, which assume complete control over the parts of a system, are inadequate in supporting assurable engineering of important safety-, security- and business-critical requirements.

This workshop will explore the challenges associated with the development, operation and management of large-scale complex IT systems. The objectives of the workshop include the formulation of these challenges, the presentation and discussion of novel engineering techniques that have the potential to address them, and the formulation of a research agenda for this important research area.

Workshop Topics

Workshop topics include but are not limited to:

  1. PuceCompositional Specification, Analysis and Verification for Predictability,

  2. PuceArchitectural Structuring of Cyber Systems,

  3. PuceCyber-Security for Complex Systems,

  4. PuceLarge-Scale Complex IT Systems in the Cloud,

  5. PuceEngineering High-Integrity Systems,

  6. PuceSocio-Technical Engineering,

  7. PuceEvolution of LongLived High Quality Cyber-Physical Systems.

About the Monterey Workshop Series

The workshop will be the 17th in the Monterey workshop series, initiated in 1993 and devoted to exploring the critical problems associated with cost-effective development of high-quality software systems. Monterey workshops have a rich history of bringing together both American and European scientists that share a common interest in seeing that software development research serves as a catalyst for practical advances in next-generation software intensive systems. These workshops have been highly praised by participants for their high quality of presentations and discussions and given rise to many new collaborations that have significantly advanced the field.

The last few years the workshop has been held alternately in Europe and the United States. This year, the workshop will be held in Oxford, UK, from March 19 to March 21, 2012.

Proceedings

The proceedings of the workshop will be published by Springer Verlag as for 2002 (LNCS 2941), 2005 (LNCS 4322), 2006 (LNCS 4888), 2007 (LNCS 5320), 2008 (LNCS 6028) and 2010 (LNCS 6662). The proceedings of the 2012 Monterey Workshop will also be edited by Springer Verlag in LNCS.

Given the interactive nature of the workshop, the proceedings will be published after the workshop to allow the participants to include the results of the discussion in their submissions. All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee before publication.

The workshop agenda and abstracts of presentations will be published on this website before the workshop, and presentation material will be available on this site afterwards, similar to the websites of previous workshops.
