<br>
Distributed systems research covers a wide spectrum of applications
ranging across embedded real/time systems, commercial transaction
systems, transportation systems, and military/space systems. <br>
Such systems raise several issues not found in single processor
systems. The main difficulty arises when considering dependability,
security, adaptability and resources constrained computing. <br>
This area requires computing systems to run software in an
efficient and trustworthy way. That is, in order to be able to
design complex architectures in reasonable time, novel and effective
design <br>
methodologies are needed to automatically build applications from
high-level descriptions to take into account what needs to be
deployed on hardware. To remedy this weakness, combining both model
<br>
and component seems to be a very promising cocktail for building
solutions to this problem.<br>
<br>
The introduction of the component approach in the development of
embedded systems allows facilitating their design by building
through an assembly of existing components. Indeed, this approach <br>
provides a clear separation between the specification and
implementation of components. Note however that in the context of
component software, distributed architecture is significantly more
demanding <br>
than that of traditional monolithic integrated solution.
Model-driven engineering provides a very useful contribution for the
design of distributed systems since it bridges the gap between
design issues and<br>
implementation concerns. It helps the designer to concentrate on
application structure and required behavior and it permits us to
specify in a separate way non-functional requirements such as
underlying <br>
execution infrastructure/middleware, dependability and
reconfiguration issues that are very important to guide the
implementation process.<br>
<br>
The main focus of DANCE is on the topic of making design and
implementation expert knowledge available to distributed real time
embedded systems (DRTES) engineering processes. <br>
Special emphasis will be devoted to promote discussion and
interaction between researchers and practitioners focused on the
particularly challenging task to efficiently integrate dependability
<br>
and reconfiguration solutions within the restricted available design
space and time. Furthermore, one important focus is on the potential
benefits of the combination of model- driven engineering <br>
with languages and representation of component engineering
solutions. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from
various fields involved in the development and deployment of
component <br>
in embedded systems with a particular focus on the transfer of
results from fundamental research to the industrial development of
energy, resource and time constrained applications. <br>
The exchange of concepts, prototypes, research ideas, and other
results which contribute to the academic arena and also benefit
business and industrial communities, is of particular interest. <br>
Some of the topics that we seek to include in the workshop are
related to the development of models and tools to support the
inclusion of energy, resource and time constraints <br>
within dependability and reconfiguration requirements issues into
the embedded systems engineering process.<br>
<br>
<p align="justify">We would like to promote new modeling and
programming paradigms that allow system and software developers to
express distribution in a platform independent manner. <br>

<p align="justify">Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to: <br>
</p>
<div align="justify">

<li>Architecture and execution support design for distributed
applications</li>
<li>Distribution techniques which exploit new models and
