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

Submission details

Papers should not exceed 12 pages, with 11pt or larger font and reasonable 
margins and line spacing. More detailed instructions will follow. 

Internal  workshop  proceedings  with  the  accepted  papers  will  be
distributed at the workshop as  a research report of LAAS-CNRS.  
We expect that revised  versions  of  the  best  papers from the Workshop 
will  be considered for inclusion  in an appropriate journal or 
in a published collection.

 The submission must include  the title of the paper, an abstract, 
the names and affiliations of authors,  and the email address of the contact 
author. 
Proposals should be submitted in electronic form (PDF or Postscript formats) to 
WADL Committee ([log in to unmask]). 


Papers  must not be submitted simultaneously to another conference or 
publication nor be previously published elsewhere. When appropriate, authors 
should arrange for a release for publication from their employer prior to 
submission. 
 At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register 
with the workshop and present the paper.
