Abstract

The theme of CPA 2007 is concurrency: the theory of concurrency, and concurrency as applied to software and hardware development, validation, verification, and implementation&#046; This year, as part of the regular conference program, CPA is co&#8211;hosting a special interest session on hardware/software co&#8211;design&#046; Contributions are invited in any of the areas of interest to the conference, and those in the area of hardware/software co&#8211;design are particularly welcome&#046; <b>Keywords:</b> *Theoretical approaches to concurrency, and formal languages supporting these approaches, including the integration of existing formal notations;<br>*Modelling of, and model&#8211;driven development of concurrent software architectures;<br>*Verification and analysis of concurrent systems;<br>*Model&#8211;checking techniques and tools for development and analysis;<br>*Theoretical approaches to hardware&#8211;software co&#8211;design;<br>*Tools and languages for hardware&#8211;software co&#8211;design;<br>*Verification and analysis of hardware&#8211;software co&#8211;design systems;<br>*Programming languages and environments for concurrent systems;<br>*Environments for distributed applications, such as grid applications;<br>*Hardware and machine architectures such as multiprocessor cores and instructiion set design;<br>*Reconfigurable computing, and tools relating to reconfigurable computing;<br>*Programming and implementation issues for concurrent languages; such as deadlock&#8211;freedom by design, starvation, and efficient inter&#8211; process communication architectures;<br>*System issues for programming languages supporting concurrency, such as multithreading kernels and interrupt architectures;<br>*Applications that exploit, or rely on, concurrency&#046;<br>
