Communicating Process Architectures
Communicating Process Architectures 2013, the
35th WoTUG conference on concurrent and parallel programming, will take place
at
Edinburgh Napier University, in
Edinburgh, Scotland, from Sunday August 25th to Wednesday August 28th 2013.

About WoTUG
WoTUG provides a forum for the discussion and promotion of concurrency ideas,
tools and products in computer science.
It organises specialist workshops and annual conferences that address
key concurrency issues at all levels of software and hardware granularity.
WoTUG aims to progress the leading state of the art in:
-
theory (programming models, process algebra, semantics, ...);
-
practice (multicore processors and run-times, clusters, clouds, libraries, languages, verification, model checking, ...);
-
education (at school, undergraduate and postgraduate levels, ...);
-
applications (complex systems, modelling, supercomputing, embedded systems, robotics, games, e-commerce, ...);
and to stimulate discussion and ideas on the roles concurrency will play in the future:
-
for the next generation of scalable computer infrastructure (hard and soft) and application,
where scaling means the ability to ramp up functionality (stay in control as complexity increases)
as well as physical metrics (such as absolute performance and response times);
-
for system integrity (dependability, security, safety, liveness, ...);
-
for making things simple.
Of course, neither of the above sets of bullets are exclusive.

Designing with Software Defined Silicon
By A. Dixon
This talk will introduce the XMOS XS1-G4 multi-core device
and the associated development kit. The design tools and the
XC language which can be used to write concurrent software,
including direct access to physical input and output pins, will
be presented. The concurrency support in XC has its roots in CSP
and occam. The flexibility of the XS1 architecture will be shown by
demonstrating a number of applications; these include interfacing,
communications, motor control and media processing.
