4th PDP special session on FORmal approaches to PArallel and Distributed systems (4PAD 2017)

held at PDP 2017

Scope

The aim of 4PAD is to foster interaction between the formal methods communities and systems researchers working on topics in modern parallel, distributed, and network-based processing systems (e.g. autonomous computing systems, cloud computing systems, service-oriented systems and parallel computing architectures).

Topics

We solicit papers in all areas of the above mentioned systems, including (but not limited to):

  • Rigorous software engineering approaches and their tool support;
  • Model-based approaches, including model-driven development;
  • Service- and component-based approaches;
  • Semantics, types and logics;
  • Formal specification and verification;
  • Performance analysis based on formal approaches;
  • Formal aspects of programming paradigms and languages;
  • Formal approaches to parallel architectures and weak memory models;
  • Formal approaches to deployment, run-time analysis, adaptation/evolution, reconfiguration, and monitoring;
  • Case studies developed/analyzed with formal approaches;
  • Formal stochastic models and analysis;
  • Formal methods for large-scale distributed systems;
  • Statistical analysis techniques based on formal approaches.
