Ws6: Architecture Description Languages

Friday 27 August 2004

General co-Chairs

Mamoun Filali Amine (IRIT/FERIA, France), Chair
Pierre Dissaux (TNI-Europe, France)
Pierre Michel (ONERA/FERIA, France)
François Vernadat (LAAS/FERIA, France)

Scope of the Workshop

The aim of an ADL (Architecture Description Language) is to formally describe software and hardware architectures. Usually, an ADL describes components, their interfaces, their structures, their interactions (structure of data flow and control flow) and the mappings to hardware systems. A major goal of such descriptions is to allow analysis with respect to several aspects like timing, safety, reliability, ... This workshop will provide a forum for practitioners and researchers to discuss recent development around ADLs. A feature of this workshop will be to bring different communities, from e.g., avionics and space embedded systems, automotive embedded systems, distributed systems, to confront their approaches, to discuss their emerging standards, and to share their respective knowledge.

The program includes a tutorial and refereed papers. Accepted papers are published in a post-proceeding book by Kluwer, the official publisher of IFIP conference.

Topics

Papers have been selected in the following areas:

•  Components, Connectors, Composition
•  Semantics, Formalisation
•  Verification, Simulation, Test
•  Tools and Development Environments
•  Standardisation
•  Industrial Projects
