Topics of interest
After
SLAP’2002 in Grenoble,
SLAP’2003 in Porto,
SLAP’2004 in Barcelona,
SLAP’2005 in Edinburgh,
SLAP’2006 in Vienna, the revised SLA++P’2007 edition of the workshop series in Braga intended to cover a wider range of programming models than previously done. This corresponds to the current interest in component programming for large scale embedded systems, the link between simulation tools (a la Simulink/StateFlow) and compiler tools (a la Scade), languages for describing the system and its environment, integrated tools for both compilation and simulation, etc.
This Sla++p’08 issue confirms this thematic opening. The workshop topics cover, among others, the following issues:
- synchronous and asynchronous models for time and concurrency
- novel language paradigms blending synchrony with asynchrony and non-determinism, semantic abstraction and refinement,
- synchronous languages and programming formalisms,
- compilation techniques,
- formal specification and verification,
- test and validation of programs,
- case-studies, industrial and teaching experience
- design methodologies, visualisation of complex reactive systems
- component-based development of embedded systems
