The conference will be co-located with the 40th International Conference 
on Applications and Theory of Petri Nets and Concurrency (Petri Nets 2019).


IMPORTANT DATES:
Abstract submission: January 16, 2019 (*)
Submission of Papers: January 22, 2019 (*)
Notification: March 8, 2019
Final Version Due: March 22, 2019 (*)
Participation in Tool Exhibition: June 1, 2019
Conference: June 23-28, 2019
(*) The deadline is the end of day Anywhere on Earth (AoE)

The 19th international ACSD conference will be organized by the Process 
and Data Science (PADS) group at RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, 
Germany. The conference will take place in the conference area of the 
Tivoli football stadium, close to the city center of Aachen. The 
language of the conference is English. The conference proceedings will 
be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore.


CONFERENCE SCOPE:
The conference aims at cross-fertilizing both theoretical and applied 
research about formal approaches (in a broad sense) to designing 
computer systems that exhibit concurrent behavior. In particular, the 
following topics are of interest:
- Formal models of computation and concurrency for synchronous and 
asynchronous systems and problems, like data-flow models, communicating 
automata, Petri nets, process algebras, graph rewriting systems, state 
charts, MSCs, modal and temporal logics
- Design principles for concurrent systems, in particular 
hardware/software co-design, platform-based design, component-based 
design, modular synthesis, distributed simulation and control, 
refinement techniques, hardware/software abstractions, cross-layer 
optimization
- Algorithms and tools for concurrent systems, ranging from programming 
languages to algorithmic methods, for system analysis and construction, 
including model checking, verification, and static analysis techniques 
as well as synthesis procedures
- High-performance computer architectures like many-core processors, 
on-chip-networks, graphics processing units, instruction-level 
parallelism, dataflow architectures, cache coherency, memory systems, up 
to ad-hoc, mobile, and wireless networks
- Resource management in implementations including task and 
communication scheduling, network-, memory-, and power-management, 
energy/power distribution, fault-tolerance, quality of service, 
scalability, load balancing, power proportionality
- Real-time aspects, incl. hard real-time requirements, security- and 
safety-critical issues, functional and timing verification
- Cyber-physical systems, hybrid systems, networked systems, and 
networks in biological systems
- Case studies of general interest, from industrial applications to 
consumer electronics and multimedia, automotive systems, (bio-) medical 
applications, neuromorphic applications, internet (of things) and grid 
computing, to gaming applications.


PAPER SUBMISSION:
ACSD seeks papers describing original work which has not been previously 
published and is not under review for publication elsewhere. All files 
must be prepared using the latest IEEE Computer Society conference 
proceedings guidelines (8.5 x11 inch two-column format). The page limit 
for regular papers is 10 pages. Accepted papers will be included in the 
conference proceedings.
At least one author of each accepted contribution is expected to present 
the paper at the conference, and will be required to sign the copyright 
release forms. All papers have to be submitted via EasyChair: 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acsd2019.

AACHEN
Aachen is a historic city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, at the 
point where Germany borders on Belgium and the Netherlands. Historically 
this spa-town was a prominent city, the place where the German Kings 
were crowned, and the residence of Charlemagne who still lies buried in 
the impressive cathedral he himself had built. The city has many 
historical sites that remind of those days, including medieval 
buildings, city gates, and beautiful fountains. Aachen is Germany's 
westernmost city. It lies near the borders with Belgium and the 
Netherlands and is nestled between the large national parks of the Eifel 
and the Ardennes. The city has a population of 260,000, which includes 
about 50,000 students and more than 4,000 academic staff from across the 
world. Its lively student community lends the city just as much 
character as its history. Aachen is famous for its Printen gingerbread, 
its hot springs, its Mardi Gras carnival and one of the world's largest 
equestrian tournaments. The historic city center and a wealth of bars, 
cafes, and restaurants, combined with the nearby nature parks, such as 
the Eifel, make Aachen a city where everyone feels at home. The venue of 
the conference, the Tivoli football stadium, is located on the border of 
the city center. This beautiful venue will provide a unique atmosphere 
with great views and excellent conference facilities.
