SAM98
1st Workshop of the SDL Forum
Society on SDL and MSC
------------------------------------------------------
29.06. - 01.07. 1998 Berlin/Germany
CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Organized by:
Humboldt University
Berlin SDL Forum Society GMD Fokus
Supported by: University of Kaiserslautern
Venue: GMD Fokus Kaiserin-Augusta-Allee 31, D-10589 Berlin
Next Deadline: 10.04.1998
Motivation:
The SDL & MSC workshop shall provide an open discussion platform between
SDL
fora. It addresses 3 topics related to both description techniques. The
intended audience ranges from SDL Forum members, tool vendors over
researchers and users to standardizers and will be limited to about 80
persons. Being a less formal event as the bi-annual SDL Forum the
workshop
is expected to be a place for intensive discussions enabling the
unfolding
of ideas for the future development and application of SDL and MSC.
The workshop will consist of a set of invited presentations and topic
centered breakout sessions. Potential participants of the sessions are
also
encouraged to submit and present papers reflecting their work. Following
the
presentations plenty of time will be made available for in-depth
discussions. In case of parallel sessions plenaries will be used to
inform
all participants of the workshop of the outcome of the single sessions.

* Yair Lahav, SDL Forum Society
* Joachim Fischer, Humboldt-University Berlin
* Adam Wolisz, GMD Fokus Berlin
Session Chairs
* Birger Moeller-Peddersen
* Gregor Bochmann
* Joachim Fischer
* Andreas Prinz
* Rolv Braek
* Anders Ek
* Phillipe Leblanc
* Reinhard Gotzhein
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each day of the workshop will address one special topic:
*Day 1: Language Issues
*Day 2: SDL and MSC in Relation to other Languages and Techniques
*Day 3: Design, Methodology and Application experiences
Day 1 Morning 10.30 - 13.00
SDL 2000 - MSC 2000 (parallel sessions)
This session covers the future language developments of SDL and MSC the
introduction of new concepts, the removal of outdated concepts, the
alignment of existing concepts as well as experiences with the last
language
revision (SDL-96) and the latest MSC version.
Day 1 Afternoon 14.00 - 15.30
SDL 2000 - MSC 2000 (continued)
Day 1 Afternoon 16.00 - 17.00
Joint Wrap-Up Session
The joint session will give the participants of the two parallel
sessions
the opportunity to share the results of their sessions and to discuss
the
mutual influence of the further development of both languages, MSC and
SDL.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 2 Morning 9.00 - 11.00
Semantics
This session covers new approaches to formalize the semantics of current
SDL
and MSC as well as the semantic foundation of concepts to be introduced
in
new revisions of both languages. Space will also given aspects of the
verification and validation on base of the formal semantics.
Day 2 11.30 - 13.00 and 14.00 - 18.00
Other Languages, Object Orientation and Distributed Systems
This session addresses the combined application of SDL and MSC with
techniques from the area of object oriented analysis and design.
Especially
the Unified Modeling Language (UML) which is standardized by the OMG
will
gain a strong influence in future. Other topics of this session are the
application of SDL for the development of distributed systems according
to
the ODP standard and the OMG specifications and the relation of SDL to
languages used in this scope (object and interface definition languages
as
ODL and IDL).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 3 Morning 9.00 - 13.00
Industrial Applications
This session serves as a podium to share experiences resulting from the
application of SDL and MSC in real-life industrial projects between
users,
language & tool developers and methodologists. The goal is to find out,
how
the languages fulfill the requirements of the industry and which
additions/changes to the languages, tools and methodologies are wanted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 3 Afternoon 2.00pm - 6.00pm
Patterns and SDL
This session is organized and chaired by the University of
Kaiserslautern.
The reuse of software artifacts is of major concern in object-oriented
software development in general. Besides other well-known reuse concepts
such as class libraries or software frameworks design patterns have
emerged
as an especially fruitful concept. This session is dedicated to the
combination of SDL and software reuse with a special focus on SDL design
patterns. Thereby an SDL pattern is defined as a reusable software
artifact
representing a generic solution for a recurring design problem with SDL
as
applied design language. Software developers concerned with software
reuse
and/or SDL are invited to share their experiences. Topics of interest
include case studies on the reuse of SDL specifications in general and
SDL
patterns in particular, advanced SDL methodologies supporting reuse,
SDL
language constraints, discussion of SDL patterns, as well as tool
support
for the application and administration of SDL reuse libraries.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Invited Presentations will be given a time slot of 30-45 minutes,
participant's presentations 20-25 minutes (about 4 per session). The
remaining time of one hour is available for discussions.
Important Deadlines:
Paper submissions:
Extended Abstracts (3-4 pages) due: 10.04.1998

The proceedings of the workshop will be published by Humboldt-University
in
form of a University Research Report (HU Informatikbericht).
The workshop will be held on a non-profit base to keep the fees as low
as
possible and to enable a large group of interested people to attend. The
workshop fee is 200 DEM (non SDL Forum Society members) 100 DEM (SDL
Forum
Society members).
The fee includes lunch on all three days, refreshments during breaks,
workshop proceedings and social event on Day 2.
