SLA++P’08
Model-driven High-level Programming of Embedded Systems


Overview
SLA++P is a workshop dedicated to synchronous languages and the model-driven high-level programming of reactive and embedded systems. Firmly grounded in clean mathematical semantics, synchronous languages are receiving increasing attention in industry ever since they emerged in the 80s. Lustre, Esterel, Signal are now widely and successfully used to program real-time and safety critical applications, from nuclear power plant management layer to Airbus air flight control systems. At the same time, model-based programming is making its way in other fields of software engineering, too, often involving cycle-based synchronous paradigms.

The purpose of the SLA++P workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who work in the field of languages and tools for the model-driven development of embedded applications both in hardware and software. The workshop is not limited to synchronous approaches but open to other engineering design approaches with strong semantical foundations providing a way to go from a high-level description to provable executable code.
