Abstract

Over the last decade, the boundaries between computer system components, such<br>as hardware, software, firmware, middleware, and applications, have blurred&#046;<br>This evolution in system design and development practices led in 2014 to a<br>change in the title and scope of the MEMOCODE conference from its original<br>focus on hardware/software co&#8211;design to its new focus on formal methods and<br>models for developing computer systems and their components&#046; MEMOCODE&#8242;s<br>objective is to emphasize the importance of models and methodologies in<br>correct system design and development, and to bring together researchers and<br>industry practitioners interested in all aspects of computer system<br>development, to exchange ideas, research results and lessons learned&#046;<br>TOPICS OF INTEREST<br>MEMOCODE 2016 seeks research contributions on all aspects of methods and<br>models for system, hardware, and software design and development: formal<br>foundations, engineering methods, tools, and experimental case studies&#046;<br>Research areas of interest include but are not limited to the following:<br>* Modeling Languages, Methods and Tools: Programming languages and<br>models; software and system modeling languages; architecture and<br>high&#8211;level hardware description languages; timing models; model and<br>program synthesis methods; model transformation methods<br>* Formal Methods and Tools: Correct&#8211;by&#8211;construction methods; static,<br>dynamic, and type theoretic analysis; verification; validation;<br>test generation; platform&#8211;based design; refinement&#8211;based, component&#8211;based,<br>and compositional approaches to design and verification<br>* Models and Methods for Developing Critical Systems: Fault&#8211;tolerant<br>systems; security&#8211;critical and safety&#8211;critical systems; cyber&#8211;physical<br>systems; autonomous and unmanned systems; assurance cases<br>* Quantitative/Qualitative Reasoning: Power/performance/cost/latency<br>trade&#8211;off methods; power models; reasoning techniques, data mining,<br>and other analytical methods for predicting power/performance;<br>system models for quantitative design space exploration<br>* Formal Methods/Models in Practice:<br>Design case studies; empirical case studies<br>
