[argouml-dev] [verimag-news] CFP: SDL2011 - Intl. Conf. on System Design Languages of the SDL Forum Society

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this mail.]

** Conference proceedings postponed until after the event*
* New call for papers deadline May 2nd, 2011 !**

For a number of logistic reasons, including overlap with the SAM 2010 
LNCS proceedings, the SDL2011 programme committee decided to to postpone 
the publication of the LNCS SDL2011 proceedings until after the event - 
around September 2011. To be fair to everyone, the call for papers is 
reopened with a new date May 2nd. Please find below the revised call for 
papers.



15th International Conference on System Design Languages of the SDL 
Forum Society
"Integrating system and software modeling"

5-7 July, 2011

University of Toulouse, France
Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (IRIT)
http://www.irit.fr/sdl2011


The SDL Forum is held every 2 years and is one of the most important 
open events in the calendar for anyone from academia or industry 
involved in System Design Languages and modeling technologies. It is a 
primary conference for discussion of the evolution and use of these 
languages. The most recent innovations, trends, experiences and concerns 
in the field are discussed and presented. System and software modeling, 
specification, and analysis of distributed systems, embedded systems, 
communication systems, and real-time systems are addressed. The 15th SDL 
Forum will be held during the second week of July 2011 at the University 
of Toulouse, France.

The SDL Forum Society that runs the Forum is a non-profit organization 
established by language users and tool providers to promote the ITU-T 
Specification and Description Language (SDL), Message Sequence Charts 
(MSC) and related System Design Languages (including but not limited to 
UML, ASN.1, TTCN, SysML and URN), to provide and disseminate information 
on the development and use of the languages, to support education on the 
languages and to plan and organize the "SDL Forum" series and events to 
promote the languages. The SDL Forum Society is accredited by ITU-T as 
an organization contributing to the System Design Language standards.


Objectives:

After an impressive growth in the use of modeling and model-driven 
engineering in software design, the last few years have seen this trend 
extending to system engineering. The motivation is that many actors in 
the industry, working on complex, distributed, embedded systems, 
identify the software crisis to be often rooted in a system crisis. The 
formalization of system engineering models and approaches is considered 
to be one of the major factors for further gains in productivity, 
quality and time-to-market for such complex systems. Although an ancient 
discipline, system engineering is currently renewing at high speed, 
driven forward by the maturation of model-driven approaches and by new 
standards such as OMG’s Systems Modeling Language (SysML), or various 
architecture description languages (ADLs). As a consequence, any 
contemporary, complete development process usually integrates a 
multitude of types of models, and necessitates their coherence to be 
handled so that multitude of tool “bridges” can be used.

In this context, there are many issues that remain to be tackled by the 
language and modeling community, such as the semantics of system models, 
the refinement of system designs into hardware/software implementations, 
or the integration of system and software design models. Papers on these 
topics are particularly welcome at SDL2011.

The conference program will include:
- keynotes by invited speakers
- tutorials
- presentation of research papers
- presentation of industrial experiences
- tool demonstrations and posters
- networking opportunities

The intended audience includes users of system and software modeling 
techniques in industrial, research and standardization contexts, as well 
as tool vendors and language researchers.


Topics:

The aim of the forum is to anticipate and influence the future trends 
and to focus on issues that are important to its expected delegates. 
Authors are therefore invited to submit papers on topics related to 
System Design Languages including the following non-exclusive list of 
topics:

- System engineering models: semantics of system models, refinement of 
system designs into hardware/software implementations, integration of 
system and software design models, non-functional aspects (such as 
performance, quality of service, real-time aspects, security, etc.) in 
system models;

- Model-driven development: analysis and transformation of models, reuse 
approaches, verification and validation of models, systematic testing 
based on and applied to models;

- Industrial application reports: industrial usage and experience 
reports, applying methods, tool engineering and frameworks, 
domain-specific applicability (such as aerospace, automotive, 
telecommunication, control, networking);

- Evolution of development tools and languages: domain-specific profiles 
and extensions, modular language design, semantics and evaluation, 
methodology for application, standardization activities;

- Modeling in multi-core and parallel applications: experience reports, 
overview of modeling approaches targeting specifically multi-core and 
parallel architectures, the use of modeling in high-performance 
computing, etc.

- Education and Promotion of System Design Languages: Teaching design 
languages, methodology for the use of design languages, etc..

Papers with an industry perspective are particularly encouraged. An 
important aspect for such papers is the effectiveness of the languages, 
tools and methods used, particularly if measurements can be quoted 
and/or there is a comparison with previous similar work. If measurements 
are not available, another factor is what features (or lack of features) 
of languages, tools or methods produce a significant benefit (or 
difficulty). A paper that mainly describes the design or development of 
a product is unlikely to be accepted, unless the application is a new 
and interesting domain for the use of the languages or tools or methods. 
The Program Committee therefore strongly suggests that the authors of 
application papers submit an abstract in advance of the submission 
deadline, so that feedback can be provided, which may include suggesting 
collaborative authors to make the paper more useful to others.


Submission policy:

Submissions should be previously unpublished, written in English, no 
longer than 16 pages (including the illustrations and bibliography) and 
using the LNCS style as described in 
ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/instruct/authors/typeinst.pdf. 
It is intended to publish papers in the LaTeX format that is preferred 
for LNCS, therefore authors are encouraged to adopt this format as soon 
as possible. Other formats are acceptable at the submission stage.

Submissions in the following categories are solicited:

- Full papers describing original, unpublished results (max. 16 pages in 
LNCS style)
- Short papers, describing work in progress (max. 8 pages in LNCS style)
- Posters and exhibits (submit poster and/or 400 word abstract)

Important: Electronic submission in PDF format is mandatory.
To submit a paper, visit: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=9793 .
Please refer to the conference homepage for more information.

The SDL Forum Program Committee will evaluate the technical contribution 
of each submission as well as its accessibility to the audience. Papers 
will be judged on significance, originality, substance, correctness, and 
clarity.

Accepted papers must be presented at SDL2011 by one of the authors. As 
in previous editions, the SDL2011 proceedings will be published in the 
Springer LNCS series.
