Architecture-Driven Semantic Analysis of Embedded Systems (Dagstuhl Seminar 12272)

Abstract

Architectural modeling of complex embedded systems is gaining
prominence in recent years, both in academia and in industry. An
architectural model represents components in a distributed system as
boxes with well-defined interfaces, connections between ports on
component interfaces, and specifies component properties that can be
used in analytical reasoning about the model. Models are
hierarchically organized, so that each box can contain another system
inside, with its own set of boxes and connections between them.

The goal of Dagstuhl Seminar 12272 ``Architecture-Driven Semantic
Analysis of Embedded Systems'' is to bring together researchers who
are interested in defining precise semantics of an architecture
description language and using it for building tools that generate
analytical models from architectural ones, as well as generate code
and configuration scripts for the system.

This report documents the program and the outcomes of the
presentations and working groups held during the seminar.
