Call for participation: ACM/IEEE Ninth International Conference on Formal 
Methods and Models for Codesign.

http://www.memocode-conference.com

MEMOCODE 2011 is the ninth in a series of successful international conferences 
aimed at researchers and practitioners in the field of the design of modern 
hardware and software system. The conference explores ways in which future 
design methods can benefit from new results on formal methods. PLEASE BOOK 
ACCOMODATION as soon as possible. Cambridge is a popular tourist destination 
(especially in July).

INVITED SPEAKERS

*         Tony Hoare (Microsoft Research). Algebraic technique of classifying 
languages in families.

*         Mark Shand (Zoran). A Case Study of Hardware Software Co-Design in a 
Consumer ASIC.

*         Anna Slobodova (Centaur Technology). A Flexible Formal Verification 
Framework for Industrial Scale Validation.

TUTORIAL SPEAKERS

*         Dan Ghica <http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~drg/> (University of 
Birmingham). Functional interfaces in higher-level synthesis

*         Christopher Jefferson<http://www.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~caj/> 
(University of St. Andrews). Minion: a Fast and Scalable Constraint Solver.

*         Peter Sewell<http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pes20/> (University of 
Cambridge). TBD.

SOCIAL EVENTS

On Monday 11 July we have arranged punting on the river Cam and a BBQ. On the 
evening of Tuesday 12 July we have arranged a formal dinner at St John's 
college. No activities have been arranged for the evening of Sunday 10 July. 
There are many restaurants and bars in the centre of Cambridge.

SCOPE

The ninth MEMOCODE conference will attract researchers and practitioners who 
create methods, tools, and architectures for the design of hardware/software 
systems. These systems face increasing design complexity including tighter 
constraints on timing, power, costs, and reliability. MEMOCODE seeks 
submissions that present novel formal methods and design techniques addressing 
these issues to create, refine, and verify hardware/software systems. We also 
invite application-oriented papers, and especially encourage submissions that 
highlight the design perspective of formal methods and models, including 
success stories and demonstrations of hardware/software codesign. Furthermore, 
we invite poster presentations describing ongoing work with promising 
preliminary results.

Topics of interest for this conference include (but are not limited to):

* system- and transaction-level modeling and verification, abstraction and 
refinement between different modeling levels, formal, semi-formal, and 
specification-driven verification,

* design and verification methods for composition of concurrent systems: 
multi-core platform architectures, systems-on-chip, networks-on-chip,

* formal methods and tools for hardware and software verification including 
theorem proving, decision procedures,

* non-traditional and domain-specific design languages for hardware and 
software, novel models of computation, and new design paradigms that unify 
hardware and software design,

* system-level estimation of performance and power in heterogeneous 
hardware/software architectures,

* applications and demonstrators of formal design methodologies and case 
studies of innovative system-level design flows,

* modeling and reuse of intellectual property at system-level, and

* design abstraction and high-level design demonstrating productivity and 
quality in generating and validating RTL and software.

PROCEEDINGS

Conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.

Please consider downloading the MEMOCODE 2011 poster and printing it out and 
putting on your door, notice boards etc. Thank you.
