FORMAL APPROACHES TO PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS (4PAD 2016)
February 17-19 2016
Heraklion Crete, Greec
Call For Papers
The aim of 4PAD is to foster interaction between the formal methods communities and systems researchers working on topics in modern parallel, distributed, and network-based processing systems (e.g., autonomous computing systems, cloud computing systems, service-oriented systems and parallel computing architectures).
Topics
Rigorous software engineering approaches and their tool support
Model-based approaches, including model-driven development
Service- and component-based approaches
Semantics, types and logics
Formal specification and verification
Performance analysis based on formal approaches
Formal aspects of programming paradigms and languages
Formal approaches to parallel architectures and weak memory models
Formal approaches to deployment, run-time analysis, adaptation/evolution, reconfiguration, and monitoring
Case studies developed/analyzed with formal approaches
Formal stochastic models and analysis
Formal methods for large-scale distributed systems
Statistical analysis techniques based on formal approaches
Energy-efficient networking and data storage
Programming languages, paradigms and tools for energy-efficient software design
