====================================================================
This is the final Call for Papers for Communicating Process Architectures
2018, the 40th WoTUG conference on concurrent and parallel systems.
CPA 2018 will be held at Technische Universitat Dresden and is hosted by
the Faculty of Computer Science. It starts on the evening of Sunday 19th.
August and finishes after lunch on Wednesday 22rd. August. Conference
sessions will take place at the Faculty.

We are pleased to announce that Professor Christian Mayr will present
a Keynote Address at CPA 2018 with the following Title and Abstract:
"SpiNNaker-2: a 10 Million Core Processor System for Machine Learning
and Brain Simulation"
In the EU flagship HBP, TU Dresden and University of Manchester
jointly develop the SpiNNaker-2 processor platform for brain
simulation. Characteristics of the SpiNNaker-2 system are 144 ARM
cores per chip (including various numerical accelerators), for overall
10 Mio cores with 5PFLOPS CPU performance and 0.6ExaOPS deep learning
acceleration. The chips are implemented in a 22nm FDSOI technology,
running as low as 0.4V with the usage of our Adaptive Body Biasing
methodology. The SpiNNaker-2 system combines highly efficient machine
learning, bio-inspired signal processing at millisecond latency
and ultra-low energy operation. Thus, besides the main usage as a
neuroscience platform, SpiNNaker-2 opens up completely new avenues in
areas such as tactile internet, autonomous driving and industry 4.0.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Christian Mayr is Chair of Highly-Parallel
VLSI-Systems and Neuromorphic Circuits at Technische Universitat Dresden,
(https://tu-dresden.de/ing/elektrotechnik/iee/hpsn).
Themes for CPA 2018
-------------------
CPA is concerned with concurrency at all scales. It aims to bridge the
gap between the mathematical theory of concurrency and its practical
application to the design, implementation and validation of parallel
applications for embedded, multicore and distributed computing systems.
Areas of interest to the CPA community include, but are not limited to:
* design and implementation of programming languages and environments
for concurrent systems;
* runtime environments for parallel and distributed applications;
* design patterns and implementation techniques for concurrent software;
* theoretical models for concurrency;
* formal specification of concurrent systems and formal languages
supporting these approaches;
* modelling and model-driven development of concurrent software
architectures;
* verification and analysis of concurrent systems;
* model-checking techniques and tools for development and analysis;
* design and effective use of multicore/manycore processors and
massively parallel computer architectures;
* the teaching of concurrency at school, university and postgraduate level;
* tools and languages for hardware-software co-design;
* hardware and software approaches to reconfigurable computing;
* concurrent applications within academia and industry, such as complex
systems simulation, robotic control and high-performance engineering;
* reports on experience with concurrency in an industrial context.
Further Information
-------------------
Details of how to submit papers, proposals for informal fringes, and
proposals for mini-workshops can be found on the "Author", "Fringe" and
"Workshop" pages respectively of the conference website
(http://wotug.cs.unlv.edu/cpa2018). Just follow the links with those
names.
Accepted papers will be published in the CPA 2018 Proceedings by IOS Press
(in their Concurrent Systems Engineering Series). All submissions will be
refereed by an international panel of academic and industrial reviewers,
with extensive feedback given to authors. Authors retain copyright on
their papers, shared with the publishers. This means that authors have
the right to reuse any material from these papers in future publications
(e.g. in extended revisions for journals).
CPA runs in a single track over two and a half days, with space for
approximately 20 half-hour presentations and a number of 1 or 2 hour
workshops. In addition, two evening Fringe sessions provide a forum for
presenting and discussing new ideas and/or work in progress.
The conference registration fee (covering admission to all sessions, one
copy of the Proceedings, coffee/tea breaks, lunches and evening meals,
including the conference dinner) will be announced on the "Registration"
page shortly, which also gives details of a number of bursaries to support
students attending the conference. Delegates are responsible for booking
their own accommodation: a range of hotels will be listed on the
"Location" page of the conference website.
Thank you for reading this Call. If you have any questions about the
conference, please email us at <cpa2018@xxxxxxxxx> or contact one of us
directly (see below for the organising committee). Finally, we would be
grateful if you would forward this call to colleagues who might like to
know about CPA 2018 and may not otherwise discover it. Many thanks and
we look forward to seeing you in historic Dresden!
