Third International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design (ACSD 2003)

CALL FOR PAPERS

18-20th of June 2003, Guimarães, Portugal

Co-sponsored by

IFIP WG10.5 and SIG-ES
OE/CEI - Colégio de Engenharia Informática da Ordem dos Engenheiros Portuguesa
In cooperation with
FME - Formal Methods Europe
EU ACiD-WG
Proceedings published by
IEEE Computer Society Press 

A selection of six papers of ACSD 2003 will also be published in a special edition of "Fundamenta Informaticae", IOS Press, Netherlands

The International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design (ACSD) is being organized for the third time (see also ACSD 2001) to serve as a forum for disseminating advanced research results on theory and practice of design of concurrent systems. While there are a few success stories in this field, there is a real need to provide practitioners with adequately sound and expressive tools, and researchers with real motivations and examples. The aim of this conference is to contribute towards this goal by bringing together experts in a wide variety of fields related to complex concurrent system design and analysis. The scientific program will also include invited lectures covering the areas of current interest, tool presentations and demonstration.

PROGRAM COMMITTEE CO-CHAIRS

Felice Balarin - Cadence Berkeley Labs,USA
Johan Lilius - Turku Centre for Computer Science and Åbo Akademi University, Finland

TOPICS OF INTEREST

  • Formal and semi-formal models: Petri nets, Process Algebras, Temporal Logics, Data Flow nets, Statecharts (both Harel's and UML), Synchronous Languages, HDLs, etc.
  • Formal methods for CAD and verification of concurrent systems: model checking, asynchronous design, high-level synthesis, hardware/software co-design, etc.
  • Real-time and hybrid systems
  • Discrete-event systems, communication protocols and interfaces
  • Concurrency issues in designing Systems-on-Chip
  • Case studies of concurrent systems design and verification
  • Presentation of software tools supporting the above topics
