Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (Iceccs 2000): 6th IEEE International Conference

Proceedings of a September 2000 conference, with papers arranged in sections on reactive systems, system modeling, network software, systems development, SOFL, testing and verification, communication and control systems, and embedded, concurrent, and distributed systems. Specific topics include cost models for electronic architecture trade studies, definitions of equivalence for transformational synthesis of embedded systems, generating test data from SOFL specifications, and an analysis tool for coupling-based integration testing. Other topics are automated result verification with AWK, engineering software for the Net, the multiple backup virtual paths reservation problem, and domain modeling of software process models.
