The 31st Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference
                            (COMPSAC 2007)

                    Beijing, China, July 24 - 27, 2007

           Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
************************************************************************

COMPSAC is a major international forum for researchers, practitioners,
managers, and policy makers interested in computer software and
applications. It was first held in Chicago in 1977, and since then it
has been one of the major forums for academia, industry, and government
to discuss the state of art, new advances, and future trends in software
technologies and practices. Starting with 2006, COMPSAC is designated as 
the IEEE Computer Society Signature Conference on Software Technology and 
Applications. 

The creation of trustworthy and dependable software spans all aspects of
software engineering. COMPSAC is a unique forum to bring together these
facets and their major stakeholders. Building on the trustworthy,
secure, and dependable software themes of highly successful recent
COMPSAC conferences, the technical theme for the 31st conference is

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING -- CRITICAL FEATURES and INFRASTRUCTURES

An important part of the program of COMPSAC 2007 will be tutorials given 
by recognized experts on topics, focusing on the software engineering of 
critical infrastructure systems such as, but not limited to, civil, 
telecommunications, and medical systems.  To properly engineer such
systems, the foundations, methodologies, and mechanisms that support the 
design, modelling, and evaluation of software systems must come from 
diverse sources.  Topics of interest include requirement analysis, 
co-analysis and co-design, modelling, design, development, testing, 
measurement, verification and validation for performance, safety, 
security, and dependability constraints. 

Potential speakers are invited to submit tutorial proposals on topics 
relevant to COMPSAC. The program of COMPSAC 2007 will include full day 
tutorials (6 hours plus breaks) as well as half day tutorials (3 hours 
plus breaks). A tutorial should cover a single topic in detail. 

A tutorial proposal consists of a cover sheet and an extended abstract of
the tutorial. 

The cover sheet should specify:
  1. the length of the tutorial
  2. complete contact information for the contact person and other
     presenters
  3. a brief biography (max. 2 paragraphs) for each presenter.

The extended abstract should be 3 to 4 pages and should specify:
  1. motivation and theme
  2. the intended audience (introductory, intermediate, advanced)
  3. objectives
  4. outline
  5. prior knowledge and course material
