The 19th international ACSD conference will be organized by the Process and
Data Science (PADS) group at RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany. The
new PADS group was established in the context of Wil van der Aalst's
Alexander von Humboldt Professorship. The conference will take place in the
conference area of the Tivoli football stadium close to the city center of
Aachen. The language of the conference is English, and the conference
proceedings will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore.
CONFERENCE SCOPE:
The conference aims at cross-fertilizing both theoretical and applied
research about formal approaches (in a broad sense) to designing computer
systems that exhibit some kind of concurrent behavior. In particular, the
following topics are of interest:
- Formal models of computation and concurrency for the above systems and
problems, like data- flow models, communicating automata, Petri nets,
process algebras, graph rewriting systems, state charts, MSCs, modal and
temporal logics
- Compositional design principles like modular synthesis, distributed
simulation and implementation, distributed control, adaptivity, supervisory
control
- Algorithms and tools for concurrent systems, ranging from programming
languages to algorithmic methods for system analysis and construction,
including model checking, verification, and static analysis techniques as
well as synthesis procedures
- Synchronous and asynchronous systems on all design levels: polychronous
systems, endochronous systems, globally asynchronous locally synchronous
systems
- Cyber-physical systems, hybrid systems, networked systems, and networks
in biological systems
- High-performance computer architectures like many-core processors,
networks on chip, graphics processing units, instruction-level parallelism,
dataflow architectures, up to ad-hoc, mobile, and wireless networks
- Memory consistency models for multiprocessor and multicore architectures,
replicated data, including software and hardware memory models, DRAM
scheduling, cache coherency, memory-aware algorithms
- Real-time aspects, including hard real-time requirements, security and
safety-critical issues, functional and timing verification
- Implementation aspects like resource management, including task and
communication scheduling, network-, memory-, and power-management,
energy/power distribution, fault-tolerance, quality of service,
scalability, load balancing, power proportionality
- Design principles for concurrent systems, in particular hardware/software
co-design, platform-based design, component-based design, energy-aware
design, refinement techniques, hardware/software abstractions, cross-layer
optimization
- Business process modelling, workflow execution systems, process
(de-)composition, inter-organizational and heterogeneous workflow systems,
systems for computer-supported collaborative work, web services
- Case studies of general interest, from industrial applications to
consumer electronics and multimedia, automotive systems, (bio-)medical
applications, neuromorphic applications, internet (of things) and grid
computing, to gaming applications.
PAPER SUBMISSION:
ACSD seeks papers describing original work which has not been previously
published and is not under review for publication elsewhere. All files must
be prepared using the latest IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings
guidelines (8.5" × 11" two-column format). The page limit for regular
papers is 10 pages. Accepted papers will be included in the conference
proceedings. At least one author of each accepted contribution is expected
to present the paper at the conference, and will be required to sign the
copyright release forms. All papers have to be submitted via EasyChair:

AACHEN
Aachen is a historic city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, at the point
where Germany borders on Belgium and the Netherlands. Historically this
spa-town was a prominent city, the place where the German Kings were
crowned, and the residence of Charlemagne who still lies buried in the
impressive cathedral he himself had built. The city has many historical
sites that remind of those days, including medieval buildings, city gates,
and beautiful fountains. Aachen is Germany's westernmost city. It lies near
the borders with Belgium and the Netherlands and is nestled between the
large national parks of the Eifel and the Ardennes. The city has a
population of 260,000, which includes about 50,000 students and more than
4,000 academic staff from across the world. Its lively student community
lends the city just as much character as its history. Aachen is famous for
its Printen gingerbread, its hot springs, its Mardi Gras carnival and one
of the world's largest equestrian tournaments. The historic city center and
a wealth of bars, cafés, and restaurants, combined with the nearby nature
parks, such as the Eifel, make Aachen a city where everyone feels at home.
The venue of the conference, the Tivoli football stadium, is located on the
border of the city center. This beautiful venue will provide a unique
atmosphere with great views and excellent conference facilities.
