In this sixth ICCBSS we look forward to expanding to issues of interoperability that have become critical for system development and acquisition. ICCBSS 2007 will address a wide scope of challenges and approaches -- technological and organizational -- for constructing, acquiring, deploying, and sustaining software-intensive systems that require interoperation among a wide variety of systems and components. In this conference in transition,we are looking for contributions related to COTS-Based systems, systems of systems, and systems interoperability. These contributions can take the form of research papers, experience reports, or surveys.
