2nd CALL FOR PAPERS

12th International Conference on
Application of Concurrency to System Design (ACSD 2012) 

Hamburg, Germany, June 27-29, 2012 

Co-located with PETRI NETS 2012:
33rd International Conference on
Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Concurrency

http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/events/pn-acsd2012/home.shtml


CONFERENCE SCOPE 

The conference aims at cross-fertilizing both theoretical and
applied research on the following topics:

* 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 modeling, simulation and verification,
  (distributed) workflow execution, business process
  (de-)composition, inter-organizational and heterogeneous
  workflow systems, computer-supported collaborative work
  systems, web services;

* synthesis and control of concurrent systems, (compositional)
  modeling and design, (modular) synthesis and analysis,
  distributed simulation and implementation, (distributed)
  controller synthesis, adaptive systems, supervisory control.


PAPER SUBMISSION 

ACSD seeks papers describing original work which has not been
previously published and is not under review for publication
elsewhere. All files must be prepared using the latest IEEE
Computer Society conference proceedings guidelines (8.5" x 11"
two-column format). Templates and further instructions are
available from the ACSD website. The page limit for regular
papers is 10 pages.

In addition to regular submissions, described above, there will
be a tools section. Tool paper submissions are limited to 6
pages. They will be presented at the conference in an interactive
session.

Conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society
Press.  According to the IEEE publication requirements, authors
of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the
conference, and will be required to sign copyright release
forms. Several papers will be considered for publication in
extended and revised form in a special issue of a journal.

All papers should be submitted via EasyChair:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acsd12 

IMPORTANT DATES

* abstract submission deadline: 13 Jan 2012
* paper submission deadline: 20 Jan 2012
* notification of acceptance: 19 Mar 2012
* conference: 27-29 Jun 2012
