Please apologize in case of multiple reception of this message ========================================================================== Workshop on Architecture Description Languages (WADL04) August, 27 2004 - Toulouse France http://www.laas.fr/FERIA/SVF/WADL04/ CALL FOR PAPERS WADL04 is a satellite event of the IFIP WCC World Computer Congress August, 22-27, 2004 Toulouse - http://www.laas.fr/wcc2004/ Workshop Outline The workshop on Architecture Description Languages will be held as part of the WCC 2004 Conference in Toulouse, France, from 22 August to 27 August 2004. This one-day workshop will consist of a Tutorial(s) followed by a Technical Session. The Technical Session will describe significant research as well as innovative development and application. We solicit original papers describing state-of-the-art research and development in all areas of Architecture Description Languages. In order to favorize closer interaction between academic and industrial networking research communities, both academic research papers and industrial contributions are welcome. Scope of the Workshop The aim of an ADL (Architecture Description Language) is to formally describe software and hardware architectures. Usually, an ADL describes components, their interfaces, their structures, their interactions (structure of data flow and control flow) and the mappings to hardware systems. A major goal of such descriptions is to allow analysis with respect to several aspects like timing, safety, reliability, ... This workshop will provide a forum for practitioners and researchers to discuss recent development around ADLs. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Components, Connectors, Composition - Semantics, Formalization, - Verification, Simulation, Test - Tools and Development Environments - Standardization - Industrial Projects Deadlines: Submission deadline: 15 March, 2004 Notification of acceptance: 30 April, 2004 Camera Ready paper: 30 May, 2004 Program Committee Eric Conquet ESA / ESTEC France Anne-Marie Deplanche IRCCYN France Pierre Dissaux TNI-Valiosys France Jean-Pierre Elloy IRCCYN France Patrick Farail EADS Airbus France Jean-Marie Farines DAS UFSC Brazil Peter Feiler Carnegie Mellon Univ. /SEI USA Mamoun Filali IRIT/FERIA France Pierre Gaufillet EADS Airbus France Clegg Klester Univ of York UK Bruce Lewis US Army / AMCOM USA Pierre Michel ONERA/FERIA France Alek Radjenovic Univ of York UK Françoise Simonot-Lion LORIA France François Terrier CEA-LIST France Jean-François Tilman AXLOG Ingénierie France François Vernadat LAAS/FERIA France Steve Vestal Honeywell Laboratories USA Sergio Yovine Verimag France Andre Windisch EADS Germany Organizing Committee M.
