WoTUG - The place for concurrent processes

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.
