ACSD 2006

    Sixth International Conference on Application of Concurrency to
                            System Design

                    http://www.cs.abo.fi/acsd2006

    *** Extended deadline for paper submission: 9 december 2005 ***


Dates and Venue

  27-30 june 2006, Åbo Akademi University, Turku, Finland

  Co-located with the International Conference on Application and Theory of
  Petri Nets (http://www.cs.abo.fi/atpn2006)
 
Conference Focus

  The International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System
Design (ACSD) serves as a forum for disseminating theoretical results
and advanced methods and tools for the design of complex concurrent
systems. While there are already quite a few success stories in the
field, there is still a strong need to bring theory and practice
closer together. The conference aims at cross-fertilizing both types
of research on the following topics:

  * Methods for design of synchronous or asynchronous systems based on
    models of concurrency (data-flow, communicating automata, Petri
    nets, process algebras, statecharts, MSCs etc.).

  * Correct-by-construction design methods and integration of
    verification techniques with the design process.

  * Synchronous / asynchronous design and communication interfaces:
    Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous systems.

  * Hardware / software co-design from common specifications. 

  * Concurrency issues in Systems on Chips (in particular, use of formal
    methods for communication protocol design and verification).
