MoCC 2008
2nd Artist Workshop on Models of Computation and Communication
Call for Presentations
3-4 July 2008, Eindhoven, Netherlands
http://www.artist-embedded.org/artist/MoCC-2008.html
--- Workshop Objective
Embedded systems are omnipresent in modern society, and society
crucially depends on their proper functioning. The complexity of
embedded system design however is increasing rapidly, through the use
of multiprocessor cores, through the integration of embedded systems
in ubiquitous networks, and through the increasing interaction between
embedded systems and their users and environments. To obtain a reliable
operation of embedded systems while maintaining resource efficiency,
the embedded system design process needs to be based on a solid basis
of computational models.
The workshop aims to bring together academic and industrial researchers
in model-driven embedded system design, to discuss and advance the
state-of-the-art in this field.
The workshop focuses on the following question in particular:
How can computational models be used to drive embedded system design
such that performance, quality and resource constraints are met?
--- Participation
Participation is based on invitation only. Anyone interested in
participating may submit a title and abstract of a proposed
presentation to Twan Basten, a.a.basten [at] tue.nl, with subject "MOCC
2008 participation", no later than April 19. Participation without
presentation is also possible. In that case, please submit a brief
resume and motivation. Invitations confirming that participation has
been approved will be sent on May 1. Participation is free of charge.
Lunches and a dinner on July 3 are included. Travel and lodging are not
included. Participation is limited to 40 persons.
--- Contributions
Workshop contributions should fit in the general workshop theme
outlined above. They may cover the whole range of computational models
(including dataflow models, state-based models, discrete-event models,
process algebras, stochastic and probabilistic models), all modern
embedded platforms (including multiprocessor systems-on-chip,
distributed and networked systems, sensor networks), and all
application domains (including multimedia and gaming, automotive,
high-tech industrial systems, telecommunication, care and assisted
living).
Topics of interest include:
- QoS, resource, and power management
- Operating systems, middleware, distributed control, network
management
- Synthesis, analysis and verification (especially focusing on
non-functional properties)
- Real-time computing, scheduling, execution time analysis
- Fault tolerance, dependability, security

--- Special Issue ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems
The workshop does not have any proceedings. Interested workshop
participants are invited to submit their work after the workshop to a
special issue of ACM Transaction on Embedded Computing Systems (ACM
TECS). The special issue will focus on the topics of the workshop, and
is scheduled to appear in the summer of 2009.
