The Ninth Biennial Ptolemy Miniconference will be held on Wednesday,
February 16, 2011 at the University of California, Berkeley.

(Note that the following day (Thursday, February 17, 2011) is the
Berkeley EECS Annual Research Symposium (BEARS) which is a
department-wide open house. We will host a poster session on that
day.)

The Ptolemy project (http://ptolemy.org) studies modeling, simulation,
and design of concurrent, real-time, embedded systems. The focus is on
assembly of concurrent components.

The Ptolemy Miniconference is an opportunity for research
collaborators and Ptolemy users and extenders from industry, academia,
and government to get together, present their work to the Ptolemy
community, and hear about related research and results. It is
typically held every two years.

In addition, the miniconference will act as an annual meeting for the
Center for Hybrid and Embedded Software Systems (CHESS,
http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu).

At miniconferences in the past we have had presentations and posters
from organizations worldwide, plus members of the Ptolemy project
describing current research at Berkeley.

This year, we are focusing on Cyber-Physical Systems.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are integrations of computation and
physical processes. Embedded computers and networks monitor and
control the physical processes, with feedback loops where physical
processes affect computations and vice versa. The economic and
societal potential of such systems is vastly greater than what has
been realized, and major investments are being made worldwide to
develop the technology. The technology builds on the older (but still
very young) discipline of embedded systems, computers and software
embedded in devices whose principle mission is not computation, such
as cars, toys, medical devices, and scientific instruments. CPS
integrates the dynamics of the physical processes with those of the
software and networking, providing abstractions and modeling, design,
and analysis techniques for the integrated whole.

Topics of interest for this year include:

     * Applications of Ptolemy II
     * Model-based design techniques
     * Concurrency models
     * Applications of concurrency to multicore and distributed computing
     * Code generation for embedded systems
     * Model engineering methods
     * Models of computation
     * Workflow infrastructure
     * Model transformation
     * Model verification
     * Semantics of models
     * Performance evaluations
     * Comparisons of model-based design tools
     * Integration of multiple design tools
     * Static analysis of models
     * Provenance tracking techniques
     * Data visualization and data management
     * Visual syntaxes for models

If you have suggestions for posters and presentations, please send an
abstract to ptconf11 at ptolemy dot eecs dot berkeley dot edu by
November 29, 2010

Our plan is to have 20 minute presentations and a poster session. We
will also have 3 minute poster presentations. These are informal rapid
fire summaries of the posters.

Please register for the conference. Registration will close on
February 11. In the past, the conference has sold out, so we recommend
registering early.

Registration and presentation/poster instructions may be found at:
