Annual Conference: Communicating Process Architectures
Communicating Process Architectures 2018,
the 40th. WoTUG conference on concurrent and parallel systems, takes place from
Sunday August 19th. to Wednesday August 22nd. 2018 and is hosted by
Professor Dr. Rainer Spallek,
Chair of
VLSI Design, Diagnostics and Architecture
at the Faculty of Computer Science,
Technische Universität Dresden, Germany.
The conference is organised by Dr. Spallek in collboration with Oliver Knodel and Uwe Mielke
and in partnership with WoTUG.
About WoTUG
WoTUG provides a forum for the discussion and promotion of concurrency ideas,
tools and products in computer science.
It organises specialist workshops and annual conferences that address
key concurrency issues at all levels of software and hardware granularity.
WoTUG aims to progress the leading state of the art in:
-
theory (programming models, process algebra, semantics, ...);
-
practice (multicore processors and run-times, clusters, clouds, libraries, languages, verification, model checking, ...);
-
education (at school, undergraduate and postgraduate levels, ...);
-
applications (complex systems, modelling, supercomputing, embedded systems, robotics, games, e-commerce, ...);
and to stimulate discussion and ideas on the roles concurrency will play in the future:
-
for the next generation of scalable computer infrastructure (hard and soft) and application,
where scaling means the ability to ramp up functionality (stay in control as complexity increases)
as well as physical metrics (such as absolute performance and response times);
-
for system integrity (dependability, security, safety, liveness, ...);
-
for making things simple.
Of course, neither of the above sets of bullets are exclusive.

Design and Use of CSP Meta-Model for Embedded Control Software Development
By Maarten M. Bezemer, Robert J.W. Wilterdink, Jan F. Broenink
Software that is used to control machines and robots must be predictable
and reliable. Model-Driven Design (MDD) techniques are used to comply
with both the technical and business needs. This paper introduces a CSP
meta-model that is suitable for these MDD techniques. The meta-model
describes the structure of CSP models that are designed; using this
meta-model it is possible to use all regular CSP constructs when
constructing a CSP model. The paper also presents a new tool suite,
called TERRA, based on Eclipse and its frameworks. TERRA contains a
graphical CSP model editor (using the new CSP meta-model), model
validation tools and code generation tools. The model validation tools
check whether the model conforms to the meta-model definition as well as
to additional rules. Models without any validation problems result in
proper code generation, otherwise the developer needs to address the
found problems to be sure code generation will succeed. The code
generation tools are able to generate CSPm code that is readable by FDR
and to generate C++/LUNA code that is executable on embedded targets.
The meta-model and the TERRA tool suite are tested by designing CSP
models for several of our laboratory setups. The generated C++/LUNA code
for the laboratory setups is able to control them as expected.
Additionally, the paper contains an example model containing all
supported CSP constructs to show the CSPm code generation results. So it
can be concluded that the meta-model and TERRA are usable for these kind
of tasks.
