Betreff: Synchronous Paradigm in Embedded Systems

EURASIP Journal on Embedded Systems
Special Issue on
Synchronous Paradigm in Embedded Systems
Call for Papers
Synchronous languages were introduced in the 1980s for programming reactive
systems. Such systems are characterized by their continuous reaction to their
environment, at a speed determined by the latter. Reactive systems include
embedded control software and hardware. Synchronous languages have recently
seen a tremendous interest from leading companies developing automatic control
software and hardware for critical applications. Industrial success stories
have been achieved by Schneider Electric, Airbus, Dassault Aviation, Snecma,
MBDA, Arm, ST Microelectronics, Texas Instruments, Freescale, Intel ....
The key advantage outlined by these companies resides in the rigorous
mathematical semantics provided by the synchronous approach that allows
system designers to develop critical software and hardware in a faster
and safer way.
Indeed, an important feature of synchronous paradigm is that the tools and
environments supporting development of synchronous programs are based upon
a formal mathematical model defined by the semantics of the languages. The
compilation involves the construction of these formal models, and their
analysis for static properties, their optimization, the synthesis of executable
sequential implementations, and the automated distribution of programs. It can
also build a model of the dynamical behaviors, in the form of a transition
system, upon which is based the analysis of dynamical properties, for example,
through model-checking-based verification, or discrete controller synthesis.
Hence, synchronous programming is at the crossroads of many approaches in
compilation, formal analysis and verification techniques, and software
or hardware implementations generation.
We invite original papers for a special issue of the journal to be published
in the first quarter of 2007. Papers may be submitted on all aspects of the
synchronous paradigm for embedded systems, including theory and applications.
Some sample topics are:
o Synchronous languages design and compiling
o Novel application and implementation of synchronous languages
o Applications of synchronous design methods to embedded systems
(hardware or software)
o Formal modeling, formal verification, controller synthesis,
and abstract interpretation with synchronous-based tools
o Combining synchrony and asynchrony for embedded system design
and, in particular, globally asynchronous and locally
synchronous systems
o The role of synchronous models of computations in heterogeneous
modeling
o The use of synchronous modeling techniques in model-driven design
environment
o Design of distributed control systems using the synchronous paradigm
Authors should follow the EURASIP JES' manuscript format
described at the journal's web site: http://www.hindawi.com.eg/es/ .
Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their
complete manuscript through the EURASIP JES' manuscript
tracking system at the journal's web site, according to the

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
SOFSEM 2006
32nd Conference on
Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science
January 21 - 27, 2006, Hotel VZ MERIN, Czech Republic
http://www.sofsem.cz
Submission deadlines: Abstracts - August 15, 2005
Full papers - August 22, 2005
SOFSEM (SOFtware SEMinar) is an annual international conference
devoted to the theory and practice of Computer Science.
Its aim is to foster co-operation among professionals from academia
and industry working in various areas of Computer Science.
The program consists of series of Invited Talks, given by prominent
professionals and researchers, Contributed Talks selected by the
Program Committee from submitted papers, Working Sessions discussing
work-in-progress, and the Student Research Forum.
SOFSEM offers a unique opportunity to quickly obtain a representative
overview of the areas that are selected as the topics of the year.
To avoid excess diversity among the conference participants
and to foster the atmosphere of close professional interaction,
SOFSEM is organized in tracks with topics narrow enough to attract
a community of researchers that share very specific fields of interest.
The schedule is tailored so that a unique opportunity to interact
with other participants (invited speakers, researchers, students)
of the tracks is given.
SOFSEM provides an ideal framework for discussions and meetings,
for establishing personal contacts, and for socializing.
SOFSEM is especially suited for young computer scientists.
INIVITED SPEAKERS
Foundations:
S. Barry Cooper (UK): How Can Nature Help Us Compute?
Wireless, Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks
Sotiris Nikoletseas (Greece): Models and Algorithms for Wireless
Sensor Networks (Smart Dust)
Christian Schindelhauer (Germany): Mobility in Wireless Networks
Burkhard Monien (Germany - title to be announced later )
Database Technologies:
Georg Gottlob (Austria): Monadic Queries over Tree Structured Data
Semantic Web Technologies:
Marie-Christine Rousset (France): Somewhere in Semantic Web
Dimitris Plexousakis: (Greece): Evolving Ontology Evolution
(The list to be completed)
For the SOFSEM 2006 the following 4 tracks with selected topics
have been chosen:
FOUNDATIONS
(Track Chair & PC Co-Chair: Gerard Tel, University of Utrecht,
The Netherlands)
Recognized core areas of Computer Science Foundations are the study of
Algorithms and Complexity, and of Languages and Semantics.
Both subjects have traditionally received a lot of attention at SOFSEM
conferences, since the birth of SOFSEM in 1974. Through all these years,
theoretical studies have had their impact on implemented systems.
For example, planarity testing is now used in network drawing tools,
and semantics is applied in automated program verification packages.
All contributions to the Foundations of Computer Science are welcomed,
but in both areas we especially seek contributions that illustrate
the value of fundamental research for fielded applications.
* Algorithms
* Language and Automata Theory
* Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
* Programming Logic and Calculi
* Coding, Cryptography, Compression
* Specification and Verification Tools
* Computational Biology, Chemistry, Geometry, Linguistics, ...
* Speech Understanding and Natural Language Processing
* Distributed or Parallel Computing
WIRELESS, MOBILE, AD HOC and SENSOR NETWORKS
(Track Chair & PC Chair: Jiri Wiedermann, Institute of Computer Science,
Prague, Czech Republic)
The rapidly growing area of mobile ad hoc networking and computing
emerges from the integration among personal and distributed computing,
distributed sensing, wireless multihop communication and web technologies.
Unprecedentedly growing amount of interaction between communication and
computing, its versatility and mobility is changing the information access,
exchange and exploitation. Many challenges need to be overcome in this
research area to realize its potential. The track intends to cover such
challenges.
The relevant topics include, but are not restricted to the following
aspects of wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks:
* Formal Models and Architectures
* Security, Privacy and Fault-Tolerance
* Algorithms and Their Analysis
* Simulation and Performance
* Distributed Systems, Database and Multimedia Aspects
* Implementations and Experiments
* Integration and Inter-Networking
* Applications
DATABASE TECHNOLOGIES
(Track Chair & PC Co-Chair: Jaroslav Pokorny, Charles University, Prague,
Czech Republic)
Database systems are increasingly used to store and query XML data.
During the last few years, a variety of companies have developed
so called native XML databases.
These software products are designed to efficiently store and manage
the growing numbers of XML data users are creating, especially in Web
interactions.
Improving their effectiveness, increasing efficiency, and reducing
inaccuracies are seen as a challenge for database research today.
The track is aimed at academics, practitioners, users and vendors
who are interested in XML data management in a database way.
We invite them to share their experiences, results, and contributions,
which may help better understand the issues and reality of XML databases.
The relevant topics include, but are not restricted to the following
areas of interest:
* Indexing and Querying XML Data
* XML Information Retrieval
* Approximate Searching in XML Data
* XML Benchmarking
* Querying Compressed XML Data
* Architectures on Native XML Databases
* Storage and Compression of XML Data
SEMANTIC WEB TECHNOLOGIES
(Track Chair & PC Co-Chair & General Conference Chair: Julius Stuller,
Institute of Computer Science, Prague, Czech Republic)
The Semantic Web ideas have already got, in a relatively short time,
many advocates together with possibly as many opponents.
While on the "Why" side there exists a larger agreement,
the "How" side, despite the great efforts of W3C Consortium,
divide the proponents in many, unfortunately too many,
more or less isolated communities.
Nevertheless many well-known companies are involved, similarly
as a large number of researchers all around the world,
and a lot of interesting research studies and results
have already appeared, software tools and methodologies are evolving,
new applications are realized.
All contributions to the Semantic Web Technologies are welcomed, especially
on topics which include,
but are not restricted to the following areas of interest:
* Languages, Tools and Methodologies for Semantic Web Data
* Semantic Web Trust, Privacy and Security
* Ontology Creation, Merging, Extraction, Linking & Reconciliation
* Data Semantics
* Semantic Integration and Interoperability
* Semantic Web Mining
* Semantic Web Services: Description, Invocation and Composition
* Visualization and Modelling
* Semantic Web Middleware
* User Interfaces
* Searching, Querying and Viewing the Semantic Web
* Semantic Web for e-business and e-learning
* Database Technologies for the Semantic Web
* Fundamental Issues
* Semantic Web Inference Scheme and Rules
* Semantic brokering
* Tools and Methodologies for Semantic Web agents
* Knowledge Portals
The Program Committee especially solicits original and unpublished papers
on the listed topics.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by referees expert in the given topic.
An integral part of the SOFSEM 2006 will be the Student Research Forum
(Chair: Mária Bieliková, Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava)
organized with the aim to publish and discuss students' projects in the
field of theory and practice of Computer Science.
The forum will offer students the opportunity to receive feedback on both
the originality of their scientific work results and the work in progress.
Sufficient space for discussion and exchange of experience will be provided
during the forum itself and will continue throughout the SOFSEM conference.
To be eligible, all authors of the paper must be students (except possibly
their advisors).
Best paper of the SOFSEM 2006 Student Research Forum will be selected by the
Program Committee and awarded.
PROCEEDINGS
Steps have been undertaken to publish a volume with the Invited and
Contributed papers together with the best Student Research Forum paper
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series by Springer-Verlag
as has became a tradition in the last years.
Papers describing work-in-progress and Student Research Forum papers
will be published in the local proceedings (with corresponding ISBN).

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
---------------------------------------------------------------------
CISSE 05 provides a virtual forum for presentation and discussion of the
state-of the-art research on computers, information and systems sciences and
engineering. The virtual conference will be conducted through the Internet
using web-conferencing tools, made available by the conference.
Authors will be presenting their PowerPoint, audio or video presentations
using web-conferencing tools without the need for travel. Conference
sessions will be broadcast to all the conference participants, where session
participants can interact with the presenter during the presentation and
(or) during the Q&A slot that follows the presentation.
This international conference will be held entirely on-line. The accepted and
presented papers will be made available after the conference both on a CD and
as a book publication.
Conference participants - authors, presenters and attendees - only need an
internet connection and sound available on their computers in order to be
able to contribute and participate in this international ground-breaking
conference.
The on-line structure of this high-quality event will allow academic
professionals and industry participants to contribute work and attend
world-class technical presentations based on rigorously refereed
submissions, live, without the need for investing significant travel funds
or time out of the office.
Potential non-author conference attendees who cannot make the on-line
conference dates are encouraged to register, as the entire joint conferences
will be archived for future viewing.
Please feel free to download the call for papers at:
