4th CALL FOR PAPERS
FORMAL APPROACHES TO PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS (4PAD) 2016

*** New Submission Date - 20 September 2015 ***

4PAD 2016 (http://www.pdp2016.org/SS2.html) is a Special Session of PDP
2016 Conference (http://www.pdp2016.org/) to be held at the Aquila Atlantis
Hotel in Heraklion Crete, Greece, 17th-19th February 2016.


The aim of 4PAD is to foster interaction between the formal methods
communities and systems researchers working on topics in modern parallel,
distributed, and network-based processing systems (e.g., autonomous
computing systems, cloud computing systems, service-oriented systems and
parallel computing architectures).

Topics

We solicit papers in all areas of the above mentioned systems, including
(but not limited to):

    Rigorous software engineering approaches and their tool support
    Model-based approaches, including model-driven development
    Service- and component-based approaches
    Semantics, types and logics
    Formal specification and verification
    Performance analysis based on formal approaches
    Formal aspects of programming paradigms and languages
    Formal approaches to parallel architectures and weak memory models
    Formal approaches to deployment, run-time analysis,
adaptation/evolution, reconfiguration, and monitoring
    Case studies developed/analyzed with formal approaches
    Formal stochastic models and analysis
    Formal methods for large-scale distributed systems
    Statistical analysis techniques based on formal approaches
    Energy-efficient networking and data storage
    Programming languages, paradigms and tools for energy-efficient
software design
