7th SAM
(System Analysis and Modelling)
Workshop

1st-2nd October 2012, Innsbruck, Austria

Call for Papers SAM Workshop 2012

The Systems Analysis and Modeling (SAM) workshop provides an open arena for participants from academia and industry to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and concerns in modeling, specification, and analysis of distributed, communication and real-time systems using System Design Languages (SDL): that is, the ITU Specification and Description Language (incl. Message Sequence Charts) and related languages such as UML, ASN.1, TTCN-3, and URN.

The SAM workshop originates from the use of languages and techniques for telecommunications applications, whereas MODELS has a background in the application of UML. However, UML is also used for telecommunications, and the languages standardized by ITU-T (ASN.1, SDL-2010, TTCN-3, URN) are also used for other applications. The 2012 MODELS conference week is a unique opportunity to attend both of these events with overlapping domains of interest.

Scope

The 2012 edition of the workshop will cover the following non-exclusive list of topics:

Language development

	domain-specific languages and language extensions
	standardization of language profiles
	evolution of language standards
	modular language design
	semantics
	evaluation of languages
	real-time
	performance

Model-driven development

systems engineering, including embedded systems and Internet of Things

analysis and simulation of models

product lines and reuse approaches

systematic testing

model transformations

Application of SDL (Specification and Description Language, Message Sequence Charts, UML, SysML, ASN.1, TTCN-3, URN …)

	industrial usage reports
	standardization activities
	experiences from education<
	domain-specific applicability (e.g., in automotive, aerospace, telecommunication)
