===========================================================

The International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design (ACSD) serves as a forum for disseminating theoretical results with application potential and advanced methods and tools for the design of complex concurrent systems. While there is already a large number of success stories in the field, there is still a strong need to bring theory and practice closer together.

===========================================================

Topics

The conference aims at cross-fertilizing both theoretical and applied research on topics including, but not limited to, the following:

   * Design methods, tools and techniques based on models of computation

     and concurrency (data-flow models, communicating automata, Petri

     nets, process algebras, state charts, MSCs, etc.), (performance)

     analysis, verification, testing and synthesis;

   * Hardware / software co-design, platform-based design, component-based

     design, refinement techniques, hardware / software abstractions,

     co-simulation and verification;

   * Synchronous and asynchronous design, asynchronous circuits,

     globally asynchronous locally synchronous (GALS) systems, interface

     design, multi-clock systems, functional and timing verification;

   * Concurrency issues in Systems on Chips, massively parallel

     architectures, networks on chip, task and communication scheduling,

     resource, memory and power management, fault-tolerance and Quality

     of Service issues;

   * (Industrial) case studies of general interest, gaming applications,

     Consumer electronics and multimedia, automotive systems, (bio-)medical

     applications, internet and grid computing, etc.;

   * Concurrency issues in ad-hoc, mobile and wireless networking, sensor

     networks, communication protocols, cross-layer optimization,

     concurrency-related security issues;

   * Business process modelling, simulation and verification,

     (distributed) workflow execution, business process (de-)composition,

     inter-organisational and heterogeneous workflow systems, computer-

     supported collaborative work systems, web services;

   * Synthesis and control of concurrent systems, (compositional)

     modelling and design, (modular) synthesis and analysis, distributed

     simulation and implementation, (distributed) controller synthesis,

     adaptive systems, supervisory control.

===========================================================

Paper submission

All papers should be in IEEE Computer Society Press 2-column format (ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/instruct8.5x11.pdf,

see also the Formatting section from Information for Authors of the webpage http://www.computer.org/cps/), and should be submitted via

EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acsd10

The separate cover page should include the corresponding author's physical and e-mail addresses, phone and FAX numbers (including the country code), the type of submission (regular, short or tool paper), and an abstract of at most 60 words.

The deadline for submission of papers is given at the top of this letter.

The page limits are: 10 pages for regular papers, 6 pages for short papers, and 5 pages for tool papers.

Submitted papers should describe original work that has not been previously published and is not under review for publication elsewhere. Acceptance of a tool paper implies that a tool demonstration should be given at the conference. Further information can be obtained through the conference web-site (given at the top).

===========================================================

Proceedings

Proceedings containing accepted and invited papers are planned to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.

===========================================================

Best Paper Award

A best paper award will be given to the author(s) of the best regular paper presented at ACSD 2010.

===========================================================

Special Issue

Several best papers of ACSD 2010 will be considered for publication in extended and revised form in a special issue of IET Computers & Digital Techniques.

===========================================================

In 2010, the PETRI NETS and the ACSD conferences will feature five keynote speakers of international reputation:

  - David Harel (Distinguished Carl Adam Petri Lecture)

  - Kim Guldstrand Larsen

  - Gabriel Juhás

  - Maciej Koutny
