Thirteenth ACM/IEEE International Conference on Formal Methods and Models for 
System Design (MEMOCODE 2015)
University of Texas at Austin, 21-23 September 2015.
Collocated with Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design (FMCAD 2015)
URL: http://www.memocode-conference.com

The 13th ACM-IEEE International Conference on Methods and Models for System 
Design (MEMOCODE’15) will be held at the University of Texas at Ausin,  21-23 
September 2015. This year, for the second time, MEMOCODE’15 will be collocated 
with FMCAD'15, the 15th Conference on Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design, 
SAT'15, the 18th International Conference on Theory and Applications of 
Satisfiability Testing, DIFTS'15, the International Workshop on Design and 
Implementation of Formal Tools and Systems, and ACL2'15, the 13th International 
Workshop on the ACL2 Theorem Prover and Its Applications. MEMOCODE’15 provides 
an excellent venue for researchers working on formal methods for CAD, and 
methodologies and models for embedded hardware and/or software design.

Over the last decade, the boundaries between computer system components, such 
as  hardware, software, firmware, middleware, and applications, have blurred. 
This evolution in system design and development practices led in 2014 to a 
change in the title and scope of the MEMOCODE conference from its original 
focus on hardware/software co-design to its new focus on formal methods and 
models for developing computer systems and their components. MEMOCODE’s 
objective is to emphasize the importance of models and methodologies in correct 
system design and development, and to bring together researchers and industry 
practitioners interested in all aspects of computer system development, to 
exchange ideas, research results and lessons learned.

TOPICS

MEMOCODE 2015 seeks research contributions on all aspects of methods and models 
for system, hardware, and software design and development: formal foundations, 
engineering methods, tools, and experimental case studies. Research areas of 
interest include but are not limited to the following:

- Modeling Languages, Methods and Tools:  Programming languages and models; 
software and system modeling languages; architecture and high-level hardware 
description languages; timing models; model and program synthesis methods; 
model transformation methods

- Formal Methods and Tools: Correct-by-construction; static, dynamic, and type 
theoretic analysis; verification; validation; test generation; platform-based 
design; refinement-based, component-based, and compositional approaches to 
design and verification

- Models and Methods for Developing Critical Systems:  Fault-tolerant systems; 
security-critical and safety-critical systems; cyber-physical systems; 
autonomous and unmanned systems; assurance cases

- Quantitative/Qualitative Reasoning: Power/performance/cost/latency trade-off 
methods; power models; reasoning techniques, data mining, and other analytical 
methods for predicting power/performance; system models for quantitative design 
space exploration

- Formal Methods/Models in Practice:  Design case studies; empirical case 
studies

SUBMISSIONS

Submit technical papers through Easychair. Submissions must be no longer than 
10 pages, written in English and formatted following IEEE Computer Society 
guidelines. They must describe original work that does not overlap a 
publication, or submission under review or accepted for publication by another 
conference or journal. For questions regarding technical submissions, contact 
C. Heitmeyer or E. Leonard ({constance.heitmeyer, 
elizabeth.leonard}@nrl.navy.mil).  Accepted papers will be published as IEEE 
conference proceedings and in IEEE Xplore. Selected papers will be invited for 
publication in a special issue of ACM Trans. on Embedded Computing Systems.

DESIGN CONTEST

MEMOCODE has a long history of a successful co-design contest section. Even 
within this design contest, we have seen an evolving trend. Initially the 
challenge problem started to be implemented as synthesis of co-processors for 
co-designing a specific computation intensive system. Today, with GPUs, FPGA 
boards and other flexible hardware add-ons, we often find even software 
solutions that compete well with the purely co-processor based co-design 
solutions.

As in previous years, MEMOCODE'15 will include a design contest, which will 
pose a computational challenge that participants may solve using hardware or 
software on FPGAs, GPUs, and CPUs. The conference will sponsor at least one 
prize with a monetary award for the contest winners. Additionally, each team 
delivering a complete and working solution will be invited to prepare an 
abstract and present it at the conference, and the winning teams will be 
invited to contribute a short paper for presentation in the conference program.
