With the ever expanding range of computing platforms and applications, system complexity is on the rise. Increasing intelligence and autonomics in today¿s systems requires innovative approaches to address these concomitant complexity issues. At this cross-section of volume and complexity, current technologies are often ineffective at coping with the demands for quality computer systems. To cope with these and other complexity issues, computer systems are modeled or specified using multi-paradigm approaches often requiring instruments and tools to visualize and understand. Advancements in formal modeling, instrumentation, and information visualization are providing traction on this important area. Whether traditional, formal models or more innovative approaches are employed; these solutions are at the frontier of systems and software engineering. The goal of this conference is to assemble industrial, academic and government experts, from a variety of user domains and software disciplines, to examine key complexity problems and effective solutions. ICECCS 2006 covers wide scope of interests including long-term research, near-term complex system requirements and promising tools, existing systems, and commercially available tools.

Proceedings from the February 1999 symposium illustrate the path that massively parallel technology follows in going from long range research to strategic resource to commercial application. Thirty-six contributions address such topics as parallel numerical computation and applications, optical computing, quantum computing, petaflops, and configurable computing.

The proceedings of ICDCS-15 comprise 60 papers in 18 technical sessions: tools and environments, real-time communication, consensus and agreement, transaction processing, communication protocols and software, mutual exclusion and deadlock detection, real-time distributed systems, logging and recover

The theme of the symposium is "Women and Technology: Historical, Societal and Professional Perspectives." The roles of women in technology are more diverse, controversial, and important today than ever before. Since the 1950s women have tried to technologically empower themselves, particularly by entering the engineering profession. They have done so in great numbers, although today it is glaringly obvious that women are still underrepresented in engineering. Women in the field still face gender-based obstacles, expectations, and biases despite decades of efforts to eradicate these problems. These issues are addressed.
