[Caml-list] Memocode 2010 First Call for Papers

MEMOCODE 2010 First Call for Papers

The eighth ACM-IEEE International Conference on Formal Methods and
Models for Codesign (MEMOCODE 2010) will be held
on July 26-28, 2010 in Grenoble, France.

http://www.memocode-conference.com

----------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT DATES:

Abstract submission deadline: February 26, 2010
Paper submission deadline: March 5, 2010
Notification of acceptance: April 30, 2010
Poster submission deadline: May 14, 2010
Notification for Posters: May 28, 2010
Final Version for Papers: May 28, 2010

----------------------------------------------------

The eighth MEMOCODE conference will attract researchers and
practitioners who create methods, tools, and architectures for the
design of hardware/software systems. These systems face increasing
design complexity including tighter constraints on timing, power, costs,
and reliability. MEMOCODE seeks submissions that present novel formal
methods and design techniques addressing these issues to create, refine,
and verify hardware/software systems. We also invite
application-oriented papers, and especially encourage submissions that
highlight the design perspective of formal methods and models, including
success stories and demonstrations of hardware/software codesign.
Furthermore, we invite poster presentations describing ongoing work with
promising preliminary results.

Topics of interest for regular submissions include but are not limited to
- system- and transaction-level modeling and verification, abstraction
and refinement between different modeling levels, formal, semi-formal,
and specification-driven verification,
- design and verification methods for composition of concurrent systems:
multi-core platform architectures, systems-on-chip, networks-on-chip,
- non-traditional and domain-specific design languages for hardware and
software, novel models of computation, and new design paradigms that
unify hardware and software design,
- system-level estimation of performance and power in heterogeneous
hardware/software architectures,
- applications and demonstrators of formal design methodologies and case
studies of innovative system-level design flows, and
- modeling and reuse of intellectual property at system-level.

PROCEEDINGS:

Conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.

SUBMISSION:

Submissions of research and experience papers will only be accepted
through the conference web site. Papers must not exceed 10 pages and
must be formatted following IEEE Computer Society guidelines.
Submissions must be written in English, describe original work, and not
substantially overlap papers that have been published or are being
submitted to a journal or another conference with published proceedings.
Poster submissions should consist of an abstract of at most 250 words.
The abstract will be distributed to the conference attendants but will
not be published. Note that the poster deadline is different from the
paper deadline.

DESIGN CONTEST:

MEMOCODE will again have a design contest. The contest will start March
1, 2010. The deadline for submission is 31 March 2010 and the
notification of the results is on May 14, 2010. The conference will
sponsor at least two prize categories, each with a significant cash
award. We awarded a $1000 prize in each of the two categories in 2009.
Each team that submits a complete and working entry will be invited to
submit for review a 2-page abstract for the formal conference
proceedings; winning teams will be invited to contribute a 4-page short
paper. Each team submitting a completed and working entry will also
receive a commemorative plaque with their name and results. Please refer
to the conference website for more information and updates.

[Caml-list] DiScoTec 2010: Call for Workshop Proposals

[We apologize for multiple copies]


DisCoTec 2010

5th International Federated Conferences on
Distributed Computing Techniques

Amsterdam, Netherlands, 7-9 June 2010

Call for Workshop Proposals


A workshop is intended to provide a forum for members of a focused research
community to present preliminary research results and discuss position-style
papers. Workshops are alternative forums for presenting full research
papers. As such, organizers are encouraged to adopt an format that fosters
interaction and discussion, devoting less focus to individual, formal
presentations.

DisCoTec 2010 invites proposals for one day workshops to be held in
conjunction with the main events. Prospective workshop organizers are
requested to follow the guidelines below and are encouraged to contact the
workshop chair should any questions arise.


Important Dates

Workshop proposal deadline: December 17, 2009
Workshop proposal notification: December 23, 2009
Workshop: June 10, 2010

Submission and notification deadlines of the workshops are at the discretion
of the individual workshop organizers, however notification must be no later
than the early registration deadline for the main conference.


Proposal Submission Guidelines

Workshop proposals must be written in English, not exceed 5 pages with a
reasonable font and margin, and be submitted in PDF format via email to
Marcello Bonsangue (marcello@liacs.nl).

Proposals should include the following information:

* The title, theme, and goals of the workshop.
* The targeted audience and the expected minimum and maximum number of
participants. We prefer that workshops remain open to participation
from any members of the community, but by-invitation-only workshops
will also be considered. Please explicitly state your preference.
* The publicity strategy that will be used by the workshop organizers
to promote the workshop.
* The participant solicitation and selection process.
* Publication plan. Each workshop is responsible for managing its own
publication (e.g., pre- or post- proceedings), if any is desired.
* Approximate budget proposal (see section Budget below for details).
* A preliminary version of the call for papers. This CFP must include
important dates including submission, notification, and camera-ready
deadlines.
* The equipment and any other resource necessary for the organization
of the workshop.
* A brief description of the organizer's background, including relevant
past experience on organizing workshops and contact information.

Review Process

Workshop proposals will be reviewed by the following committee:

* Frank S. de Boer, CWI, NL (DiScoTec 2010 General Chair)
* Marcello M. Bonsangue, University of Leiden, NL (Workshops Chair)
* Immo Grabe, CWI, NL
* Stephanie Kemper, CWI, NL
* Alexandra Silva, CWI, NL

Acceptance is based on an evaluation of the workshop's potential for
generating useful results, the timeliness and expected interest in the
topic, the organizer's ability to lead a successful workshop, and
potential for attracting sufficient number of participants.

Workshop Publicity

Workshop publicity is responsability of the organizers. In particular they
are responsible for the following items:

1. A workshop description (200 words) for inclusion on the DisCoTec site.
2. Hosting and maintaining web pages to be linked from the DisCoTec site.
Workshop coordinators can integrate their pages into the wiki-page of
DisCoTec 2010.
3. Workshop proceedings, if any. If there is enough interest, the
organizer of DiScoTec 2010 may contact Elevier for having a common
volume of the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
(http://info.eptcs.org/) dedicated to the workshops of DiScoTec 2010.
4. Publicising the event.

Budget

DisCoTec will provide registration and organizational support for the
workshops. Registration fees must be paid for all participants, including
organizers and invited guests.

To cover lunches, coffee breaks and basic organizational expenses, all
workshops will be required to charge a minimum participation fee (the
precise amount is still to be determined). Each workshop may increase this
fee to cover additional expenses such as publication charges, student
scholarships, registration for invited speakers, etc. All fees will be
collected by the DisCoTec organizers as part of the registration, then
additional funds will be redistributed to the individual workshop
organizers.
