Poster proposals must be submitted as a single pdf file with no
more than 3 pages. The first two pages should contain a summary of
the research content of the poster, along with title, authors,
institutional affiliations and contact information. The last page
must contain a draft of the poster's contents and layout. While
the draft need not contain all the details that will be available
in the final version, it should capture the essence and flow of

conference. A poster is an approximately 30" by 40" rectangular
board on which you can put text and figures describing your research.
You may choose to print out several sheets of papers, or a single
large poster paper (these can be printed, for example, from
powerpoint files through document companies).

Dear TC6 meeting participants:
I will have to change slightly the venue of the meeting, as it seems it
interferes with the Olympic preparations (renovation) fever currently in
Athens.
I was informed last week that the Old University building in Plaka (that
houses the University History Museaum) undergoes some renovation works and -
although
probably still open on some days - it will be difficult to accommodate
our meeting. To avoid any intereference and possible inconveniences, I have
decided NOT to use this building for our meeting.
The new location will be again at the center of Athens, and it is the second
oldest University building, designed to be the first University building
(the one in Plaka served temporarily as the first one but was not designed
for this purpose).
The building is shown at the main page of my university url:
http://www.uoa.gr/uoauk/uoaindex.htm
There is a map of the area at the same URL under "University Campuses and
Transportation". From there, you select "Center of Athens" and you can see
the map with streets and the locations of various University buildings in
the area.
The venue will be the "Rectory and Admin Services" building at
30, Panepistimiou street. It is right at the "PANEPISTIMIO" stop of the new
Athens Metro. It is between SYNTAGMA and OMONIA squares and corresponding
metro stops. See http://www.ametro.gr/main/imagemap_text_eng.gif .
The new venue is closer to the Park Hotel than the old one and will probably
cost 2-3 Euros by taxi to get there.
Athens Metro: http://www.ametro.gr
Athens old electric subway (ISAP -line 1) plus Athens Metro Lines :
http://www.isap.gr/en/
I plan to have the Friday dinner and (late?) Saturday lunch in the
Plaka/Acropolis area. It is 20 minutes walk or one can take the Athens metro
or electric subway (ISAP) go to the metro station "MONASTIRAKI" to access
the Plaka/Acropolis area.
The room reserved is "The Room of Meetings of the Faculties of the Schools".
I plan to have information at the main entrance of the building (at the the
guard's desk) with room directions and any other last minute information. So
please, look for it upon arrival.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience.
My mobile is: +30 6944 989930 , please feel free to call me if you have any
questions.
Other contact info: Tel: 30-210-7275343 / Fax: 30-210-7275333 / Email:

ISSRE04 Workshop on
Integrated-reliability with Telecommunications and UML Languages
(ISSRE04:WITUL)
http://www.issre.org/2004/workshop.php
02 Nov 2004: IRISA, Rennes, France
ISSRE is a yearly conference organized by the IEEE. WITUL is one of several
workshops attached to ISSRE 2004. The great need for reliability and wide
use of the system design languages such as UML, SDL, TTCN, MSC and ASN.1 in
the last few years has emphasised the need for integration. The recent
version of UML (UML 2.0) integrates languages such as MSC and SDL which had
been developed by ITU-T into UML. The future perspective is that for real
time systems the distinction between UML and use of the ITU languages will
disappear. Although UML2.0 is approved, the envisaged evolution is not yet
complete and work continues on profiles for various notations (to be
published in ITU) and on Model Driven Architecture (MDA) in OMG.
The ITU-T has a work plan for standardisation of UML profiles for ASN.1,
SDL, MSC and TTCN and a project on language co-ordination. The ISSRE04
conference takes place between the last meeting of the ITU study group for
languages in one period and the first meeting in the next period. It is
therefore an ideal time to critically review the future of UML 2.0 and the
ITU-T languages.
The objective of this short workshop is therefore:
1. To consider further evolution of the ITU-T languages, in particular
taking into account reliability issues;
2. To allow ISSRE participants to learn more about the ITU-T languages;
An indicative collaborative paper is to be produced (post event) that will
be contributed to main bodies interested in the language standards (ITU,
ETSI, and the SDL Forum Society).
The format for the day will be to start with some overview papers on the
languages, followed by papers making proposals for evolution of languages or
related standards (such as UML, or MDA), and conclude with a discussion as
input to the indicative paper. The actual format will depend on
contributions, which are invited on the following or related topics:
. The vision for the future evolution and use of formal techniques in
general (including - but not limited to - the ITU languages, B, VDM, Z) for
protocols, web services, software components, and software-on-chip;
. Methodology, Model Driven techniques, and Reference Modelling
related to ITU-T languages and/or UML in telecommunications particularly
with respect to reliability;
. Simplicity versus Complexity (ease of use, power of expression,
number of languages & tools needed for engineering .).
. Integration of ITU-T languages with each other and with UML - the
latter both as a set of notations and a framework for the ITU-T languages
especially with respect to reliability improvement;
. Techniques for specifying and implementing formal languages
(graphical syntax specification, meta-grammars and modelling, definition of
behaviour, language reference models);
. Engineering needs not covered by current ITU-T languages
(requirements capture, goal evaluation, performance estimation, proof
obligations...);
. Tutorial overview papers that emphasise reliability issues in
relation to ITU-T languages;
The "ITU-T languages" are:
ASN.1 Abstract Syntax Notation One ITU X.680 - X.689;
SDL Specification and Description Language ITU Z.100 - Z.109;
MSC Message Sequence Chart ITU Z.120 - Z.129;
eODL extended Object Description Language ITU Z.130 - Z.129;
TTCN Test and Test Control Notation ITU Z.140 - Z.149;
URN User Requirements Notation ITU Z.150 - Z.159.
Papers should preferably be unpublished work, so that they can be considered
for post event publication. It is being proposed to publish a selection of
papers and the results of the workshop in a Special Issue of Computer
Networks (ISSN 1389-1286) after the event. Submissions should not exceed 16
pages (A4 paper, 12pt Times or similar). Electronic file submission via
http://sdl-forum.org/issre04-witul/submit.html is mandatory. The preferred
formats are PDF or Postscript (compressed) and Authors should ensure
information (such as fonts) is embedded in the files, so that they can be
printed world-wide. It is anticipated that the final papers will be
processed in LaTeX format, so authors may wish to take this into account in
submissions, but MS Word is also a good choice for initial work.
It is anticipated that between 8 - 14 papers will be selected and the
workshop will be divided into 4 sessions. As the intention is to promote
discussion at the workshop, for non-tutorial papers it should be anticipated
that at most 15-20 minutes is allowed for presentation (excluding
questions). However, it is intended to Web publish material in the week
before the event, so that participants have an opportunity to review
material before the work shop. The objective is to minimise presentation
time and maximise discussion time. Selection of papers will be on the
contribution made to the work shop objectives above.
Dates (tentative)
Fri 13 Aug 2004 Submission of title, authors, abstract
Fri 27 Aug 2004 Submission of full paper to be presented
Fri 17 Sep 2004 Notification of acceptance
Mon 18 Oct 2004 Submission of material for WWW publication

Dear all,
Ioannis informed me that he has to change the venue of the meeting
due to renovation work.
He will send out a message but here are some short details already:
New meeting location: 30, Panepistimiou street;
("Rectory and Admin Services" building of the univ.)
between Syntagma and Omonia Squares.
"PANEPISTIMIO" stop of the new Athens Metro
See <http://www.uoa.gr/uoauk/uoaindex.htm> and there:
"University Campuses and Transportation" plus "Center of Athens"
where you will find the location of the building.
The meeting will start Friday, May 14, at 9 a.m.
I hope that the change of the meeting location doesn't make
too much of inconvenience for you.
My mobile phone is: +49-172 273 4814
