The 19th international ACSD conference will be organized by the Process
and Data Science (PADS) group at RWTH Aachen University, Aachen,
Germany. The conference will take place in the conference area of the
Tivoli football stadium, close to the city center of Aachen. The
language of the conference is English. The conference proceedings will
be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore.


CONFERENCE SCOPE:
The conference aims at cross-fertilizing both theoretical and applied
research about formal approaches (in a broad sense) to designing
computer systems that exhibit concurrent behavior. In particular, the
following topics are of interest:
- Formal models of computation and concurrency for synchronous and
asynchronous systems and problems, like data-flow models, communicating
automata, Petri nets, process algebras, graph rewriting systems, state
charts, MSCs, modal and temporal logics
- Design principles for concurrent systems, in particular
hardware/software co-design, platform-based design, component-based
design, modular synthesis, distributed simulation and control,
refinement techniques, hardware/software abstractions, cross-layer
optimization
- Algorithms and tools for concurrent systems, ranging from programming
languages to algorithmic methods, for system analysis and construction,
including model checking, verification, and static analysis techniques
as well as synthesis procedures
- High-performance computer architectures like many-core processors,
on-chip-networks, graphics processing units, instruction-level
parallelism, dataflow architectures, cache coherency, memory systems, up
to ad-hoc, mobile, and wireless networks
- Resource management in implementations including task and
communication scheduling, network-, memory-, and power-management,
energy/power distribution, fault-tolerance, quality of service,
scalability, load balancing, power proportionality
- Real-time aspects, incl. hard real-time requirements, security- and
safety-critical issues, functional and timing verification
- Cyber-physical systems, hybrid systems, networked systems, and
networks in biological systems
- Case studies of general interest, from industrial applications to
consumer electronics and multimedia, automotive systems, (bio-) medical
applications, neuromorphic applications, internet (of�things) and grid
computing, to gaming applications.


PAPER SUBMISSION:
ACSD seeks papers describing original work which has not been previously
published and is not under review for publication elsewhere. All files
must be prepared using the latest IEEE Computer Society conference
proceedings guidelines (8.5 x�11 inch two-column format). The page limit
for regular papers is 10 pages. Accepted papers will be included in the
conference proceedings.
At least one author of each accepted contribution is expected to present
the paper at the conference, and will be required to sign the copyright
release forms. All papers have to be submitted via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acsd2019.

AACHEN
Aachen is a historic city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, at the
point where Germany borders on Belgium and the Netherlands. Historically
this spa-town was a prominent city, the place where the German Kings
were crowned, and the residence of Charlemagne who still lies buried in
the impressive cathedral he himself had built. The city has many
historical sites that remind of those days, including medieval
buildings, city gates, and beautiful fountains. Aachen is Germany's
westernmost city. It lies near the borders with Belgium and the
Netherlands and is nestled between the large national parks of the Eifel
and the Ardennes. The city has a population of 260,000, which includes
about 50,000 students and more than 4,000 academic staff from across the
world. Its lively student community lends the city just as much
character as its history. Aachen is famous for its Printen gingerbread,
its hot springs, its Mardi Gras carnival and one of the world's largest
equestrian tournaments. The historic city center and a wealth of bars,
cafes, and restaurants, combined with the nearby nature parks, such as
the Eifel, make Aachen a city where everyone feels at home. The venue of
the conference, the Tivoli football stadium, is located on the border of
the city center. This beautiful venue will provide a unique atmosphere
with great views and excellent conference facilities.
