======================================================================
3rd International Workshop on
Methods and Tools for Coordinating
Concurrent, Distributed and Mobile Systems
(MTCoord'07)
June 5, 2007, Paphos, Cyprus
Workshop affiliated to Coordination 07, June 5-8 2007
======================================================================
SCOPE
Various classes of computational models, languages, and formalisms
have emerged in the aim of providing high-level descriptions of
concurrent, distributed, and mobile systems. Typical examples
include so-called coordination languages and models (e.g. Gamma,
Linda, Manifold, Reo, Klaim, Lime, ...), concurrent constraint
languages (e.g. cc languages, Mozart, ...) and process algebras
(e.g. CSP, CCS, pi-calculus, ...).
These models are based on generative communication via a shared
data space or on data communication through channels. In both
cases, software components are typically conceived in isolation
assuming that the required data will eventually be available.
However, making a whole system out of these components and, in
particular, ensuring that interactions occur properly is far from
being obvious.
The aim of the workshop is precisely to bring together researchers,
working in different communities (coordination, constraints,
process algebras), on methods and tools for the construction of
concurrent, distributed and mobile systems.
This year, the workshop will focus on model checking techniques and
compositional and refinement-based methodologies.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Special topics of interest are
o Model checking techniques, in particular techniques for verifying
coordinating properties (including distributed and probabilistic
ones)
o Compositional and refinement-based methodologies
However, related topics are also invited such as
o Design of high-level specifications, eg based on first-order,
modal and temporal logics
o Techniques for requirements capture and analysis
o Theorem proving based methodologies
o Debugging techniques
o Abstract interpretation
o Program analysis and transformation
o Simulation and testing
o Formal methods for security
o Tools environments and architectures
o Applications and case studies, in particular in web services
and biology
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers describing original work are solicited as contributions to
MTCoord'07. All papers must be unpublished and not submitted
simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers should
be limited to 15 pages, preferrably formatted according to the
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science.
They should be submitted through the conference management system
that will be available from the workshop web site.
