Call for papers Euro-Par'99 Toulouse, France August 31 - September 3, 1999 =========== Topic 06: Fault Avoidance and Fault Removal in Real-Time Systems --------- Topic Committee : ----------------- Global chair : Tomasz Szmuc (Computer Science Lab., Inst. of Automatics, St. Staszic Techn. Univ., Krakow, Poland) Vice-chair : Wolfgang Halang (Faculty of Electrical Engineering, FernUniversitaet, Germany) Vice-chair : Janusz Zalewski (Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Univ. of Central Florida, USA) Local chair : Gilles Motet (Dept. de Genie Electrique et Informatique, INSA, Toulouse, France) Description : ------------- This topic is dedicated to Fault Avoidance and Fault Removal means in Real-Time Systems. Fault Avoidance is concerned with modelling means, development processes and methods, etc., whereas Fault Removal covers models, verification, testing and diagnosis techniques, etc. In the context of Real-Time Systems, temporal parameters are important features of both Fault Avoidance and Fault Removal. It also includes other issues of interest such as the capabilities of the programming languages to avoid faults and to make easier their detections in the real-time applications, their associated implementations (such as predictable scheduling), the impact of hardware, etc. We would like this topic to span from academia to applications and from scientific approaches to well-engineered real-time systems case studies. This topic is not concerned by fault tolerance and dependability evaluation which is covered by Topic 20. Topics of interest include : ---------------------------- development process for real-time applications guidelines to develop dependable real-time software quality management of real-time applications classification of real-time application faults models allowing real-time concepts to be expressed verification of real-time constraints synchronous real-time languages code speed evaluation predictable real-time static or dynamic scheduling Euro-Par conference series : ---------------------------- Euro-Par is the annual European conference on parallel computing. It is dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel computing. Euro-Par'99 is organized as a day of tutorials, two half-day plenary sessions, and a number of parallel sessions.
