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.

Communicating Threads for Java
By Jan F. Broenink, André W. P. Bakkers, Gerald H. Hilderink
The Java * thread model provides support for multithreading within the language and runtime system of Java. The Java synchronization and scheduling strategy is poorly specified and turns out to be of unsatisfactory real-time performance. The idea of Java is to let the underlying operating system specify the synchronization and scheduling principles. This may possibly result in different behavior on different operating systems whereas Sun claims Java to be system independent – "write once, run everywhere". In this paper we present a comprehensive specification for a new thread model for the Java platform.The theory of CSP fully specifies the behavior of synchronization and scheduling of threads at a higher level of abstraction, which is based on processes, compositions and synchronization primitives. The CSP concept is well thought-out and has been proven to be successful for realizing concurrent software for real-time and embedded systems. The Communicating Threads for Java (CTJ) packages that is presented in the paper provides a reliable CSP/thread model for Java. The CTJ software is available from our URL http://www.rt.el.utwente.nl/javapp.
