   Workshop on Software Analysis and Development for Pervasive Systems

			    SONDA 2004

              http://www.asap.ecs.soton.ac.uk/sonda/

               August 24-28, 2004 - Verona (Italy)
               - Held in conjunction with LOPSTR, PEPM, PPDP and SAS.

SCOPE

The emergence of the PC has undoubtedly affected our lives in many  
ways. A vast
amount of research in electronics and computing has led to these  
computing devices
playing a major role in modern business, industry and consumer  
products. But
these devices are becoming considerably smaller, cheaper, and more  
abundant. In
other words, they are becoming Pervasive Systems. Nowadays, computing  
power is
a feature not only of desktop devices. Mobile phones, PDAs, and many  
electronic
gadgets currently possess enough computing power and communication  
ability to
produce a major technological shift in the way software is developed.

In the context of pervasive computing it is crucial to make efficient  
use of
computing resources. While the tendency of current Software Engineering  
is to
produce bloated systems built from libraries, Pervasive System  
developers are at
the boundary of available computing resources. Therefore, tools and  
techniques for
Pervasive Systems design have to take optimisation to its limits and  
carefully
analyse the design throughout its entire length.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from many  
areas of Hardware
or Software Engineering. We welcome not only contributions on Pervasive  
Systems
design, but also on Analysis, Verification and Optimisation at both  
high and low level
code. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Program Transformation, Partial Evaluation,
- Resource-oriented specialisation, Dynamic Power Management,
- Abstract Interpretation,
- Formal Verification, Model Checking,
- Declarative Programming, (Constraint) Logic Programming,
- Low-level code issues

With application to:

- Pervasive Environments, Ambient Intelligence,
- Embedded Systems,
- Devices with limited resources (PDAs, phones, . . . )

Authors are invited to submit their contribution electronically to  
sonda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
in PDF format. Accepted papers will be collected and the proceedings  
will be published as
a technical report from the University of Southampton, which will be  
available at the
workshop.
