Annual Conference: Communicating Process Architectures
Communicating Process Architectures 2018,
the 40th. WoTUG conference on concurrent and parallel systems, takes place from
Sunday August 19th. to Wednesday August 22nd. 2018 and is hosted by
Professor Dr. Rainer Spallek,
Chair of
VLSI Design, Diagnostics and Architecture
at the Faculty of Computer Science,
Technische Universität Dresden, Germany.
The conference is organised by Dr. Spallek in collboration with Oliver Knodel and Uwe Mielke
and in partnership with WoTUG.
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.

Automatic Conversion of CSP to CTJ, JCSP, and CCSP
By V. Raju, L. Rong, G. S. Stiles
We present tools that automatically convert a subset of machine-readable CSPscript to executable Java or C code. CSP is used to design and verify thecorrectness of large and complex systems of processes that interact only viaexplicit synchronous messages. These systems can be implemented in Javausing CTJ or JCSP, packages that add CSP-like features to Java, or in CCSP, apackage that adds similar features to standard C. Implementation of CSP systemscan be tedious and error-prone when large numbers of processes andcommunications are involved, and sorting out errors in channel naming or theordering of messages can be very time-consuming. The tools we have developedminimize such problems by converting the verified CSP descriptions ofcommunicating processes directly into Java or C code, thus guaranteeing thatchannels are correctly named and the communications occur in the proper order.This process can significantly cut development time.
