Objectives 

------ 

Control and analysis of the timing of computations is crucial to many domains 
of system engineering, be it, e.g., for ensuring timely response to stimuli 
originating in an uncooperative environment, or for synchronising components in 
VLSI. Reflecting this broad scope, timing aspects of systems from a variety of 
domains have been treated independently by different communities in computer 
science and control. Researchers interested in semantics, verification and 
performance analysis study models such as timed automata and timed Petri nets, 
the digital design community focuses on propagation and switching delays, while 
designers of embedded controllers have to take account of the time taken by 
controllers to compute their responses after sampling the environment, as well 
as of the dynamics of the controlled process during this span. 



Timing-related questions in these separate disciplines do have their 
particularities. However, there is a growing awareness that there are basic 
problems (of both scientific and engineering level) that are common to all of 
them. In particular, all these sub-disciplines treat systems whose behaviour 
depends upon combinations of logical and temporal constraints; namely, 
constraints on the temporal distances between occurrences of successive events. 
Often, these constraints cannot be separated, as the intrinsic dynamics of 
processes couples them, necessitating models, methods, and tools facilitating 
their combined analysis. Reflecting this, FORMATS'17 promotes submissions on 
hybrid discrete-continuous systems, and will promote a special session on this 
topic. 





Topics 

------ 

The aim of FORMATS is to promote the study of fundamental and practical aspects 
of timed systems, and to bring together researchers from different disciplines 
that share interests in modelling and analysis of timed systems and, as a 
generalisation, of hybrid systems. Typical topics include (but are not limited 
to): 



* Foundations and Semantics : 

Theoretical foundations of timed systems and languages; new models and logics 
or analysis and comparison of existing models (like automata, Petri nets, 
max-plus models, network calculus, or process algebras involving quantitative 
time; hybrid automata; probabilistic automata and logics). 



* Methods and Tools : 

Techniques, algorithms, data structures, and software tools for analysing or 
synthesising timed or hybrid systems and for resolving temporal constraints 
(scheduling, worst-case execution time analysis, optimisation, model checking, 
testing, constraint solving, etc.) 



* Applications : 

Adaptation and specialisation of timing technology in application domains in 
which timing plays an important role (real-time software, embedded control, 
hardware circuits, and problems of scheduling in manufacturing and 
telecommunications).
