Compositionality Seminar, Winter 2007/2008Prof. Kirsch, Department of Computer Sciences, University of SalzburgTime, Location: Th 10-12 in T04, Techno-Z. First lecture on Th, October 11, 2007. Check schedule for updates. Brief Overview: Compositional modeling and programming is key to designing and implementing integrated software systems for many applications such as multimedia and telecommunications. However, while compositional methodologies in other engineering disciplines such as electrical and mechanical engineering have already been established decades ago, software systems engineering is often non-compositional and therefore expensive and suffers from limited scalability. For example, even creating a single software process on a typical operating system such as Linux may have profound and unpredictable effects on all other processes already running on the system because the process model of most modern operating systems is to a large extent non-compositional. How can we then create systems with many, possibly thousands of processes and still provide any guarantees on correct functional and temporal behavior? If you are interested in these and other systems-related questions, sign up for the compositionality seminar. The seminar provides a unique opportunity to meet other students and discuss hot topics in systems research. Pick a research paper (or problem) provided in class (or propose some other recent paper), read and understand it, and then share your experience with the group. Goals of the seminar: Learn how to read, understand, and present top research papers on compositionality in concurrent systems design and engineering. Prerequisites: Background in data structures and algorithms as well as programming language and operating system concepts. Requirements: Each student selects a research paper (or problem), gives a 45min presentation on the paper, and uploads the presentation to the seminar wiki. Seminar language is English.
