Abstract

CPA 2006 will take place from the evening of Sunday 17th September, through to lunchtime on Wednesday 20th September, at Napier University in Edinburgh, Scotland (UK)&#046; The CPA conference aims to promote discussion and research in the area of hardware and software concurrency, based on communicating process architectures (e&#046;g&#046; CSP, the pi&#8211;calculus, MPI)&#046; Concurrency is an area of increasing interest and importance, and a goal of the CPA conferences are to stimulate discussion and ideas as to the role concurrency will play in current and future generations of scalable computer infrastructure and applications&#046; The programme will consist of two and a half days of talks plus two evening (fringe) sessions&#046;<br><b>Keywords:</b> * Theoretical support (CSP, Pi&#8211;calculus, ASP, &#046;&#046;&#046;)<br>* Modelling concurrent software architectures (Real&#8211;time UML, dataflow models, CSP, KPN, &#046;&#046;&#046;)<br>* Verification and model&#8211;checking (FDR, SPIN, &#046;&#046;&#046;)<br>* Methods and tools (B, BSP, SPARK, &#046;&#046;&#046;)<br>* Programming languages (occam, Handel&#8211;C, Honeysuckle, &#046;&#046;&#046;)<br>* Programming environments (JCSP, CCSP, CTJ, &#046;&#046;&#046;)<br>* Distributed application environments (GRID, clusters, web services, &#046;&#046;&#046;)<br>* Machine architecture (multiprocessor chips, VLIW, instruction set design for multi&#8211;threading, h/w scheduling, link and router design, &#046;&#046;&#046;)<br>* Reconfigurable computing (FPGA, FPSoC, PicoChip, &#046;&#046;&#046;)<br>* Safety and security issues (race&#8211;hazards, deadlock, livelock, process starvation, &#046;&#046;&#046;)<br>* System issues (lightweight multithreading kernels, lightweight external communications, interrupts, &#046;&#046;&#046;)<br>* Illustrative applications (scientific, embedded, mechatronic, real&#8211;time, safety&#8211;critical, mobile, &#046;&#046;&#046;)&#046;<br>
