SAM 2010 - 6th WORKSHOP ON SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND MODELLING

The workshop provides an open arena for participants from academia and industry to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and concerns in modelling, specification, and analysis of distributed, communication and real-time systems. In particular, it addresses SDL, MSC, and related languages such as UML, ASN.1, TTCN, and URN.

The SAM workshop originates from the use of languages and techniques for telecommunications applications, whereas MODELS has a background in the application of UML. However, UML is also used for telecommunications, and the languages standardized by ITU-T (ASN.1, SDL, TTCN, URN) are also used for other applications. The 2010 MODELS conference week is a unique opportunity to attend both of these events with overlapping domains of interest.

Scope

The sixth edition of the workshop will cover the following non-exclusive list of topics:
Language profiles
domain-specific language profiles
standardization of language profiles
modular language design
tool support
Evolution of development languages
language extensions and semantics
evaluation of languages
real-time
performance
tool support
Model-driven development
systems engineering, including embedded systems
analysis and simulation of models
model transformations
reuse approaches
systematic testing
tool support
Application of SDL, MSC, and related languages (e.g., UML, ASN.1, TTCN, URN)
industrial usage reports
standardization activities
experiences from education
domain-specific applicability (e.g., in automotive, aerospace, telecommunication)
tool support
