Distributed systems research covers a wide spectrum of applications
ranging across embedded real/time systems, commercial transaction
systems, transportation systems, and military/space systems. Such
systems are subject to some paradigms including coordination due to the
absence of centralization, and too much uncertainly result of hardware
of software behaviors, heterogeneity and son forth. Indeed, such systems
raise several issues not found in single processor systems. The main
difficulty arises when considering dependability, security, adaptability
and resources constrained computing. This area requires computing
systems to run software in an efficient and trustworthy way. That is, in
order to be able to design complex architectures in reasonable time,
novel and effective design methodologies are needed to automatically
build applications from high-level descriptions to take into account
what needs to be deployed on hardware. To remedy this weakness,
combining both model and component seems to be a very promising cocktail
for building solutions to this problem.

The introduction of the component approach in the development of
embedded systems allows facilitating their design by building through an
assembly of existing components. Indeed, this approach provides a clear
separation between the specification and implementation of components.
Note however that in the context of component software, distributed
architecture is significantly more demanding than that of traditional
monolithic integrated solution. Model-driven engineering provides a very
useful contribution for the design of distributed systems since it
bridges the gap between design issues and implementation concerns. It
helps the designer to concentrate on application structure and required
behavior and it permits us to specify in a separate way non-functional
requirements such as underlying execution infrastructure/middleware,
dependability and security issues that are very important to guide the
implementation process.

The supporting research in the distributed systems area includes system
architecture, design techniques, testing, validation, proof of
correctness, modeling, software reliability, operating systems, parallel
processing and real/time processing. The goal of this workshop is to
present significant works dealing with the design of distributed
architecture and applications for embedded systems using both
model-driven approach and component-based development. Architecture
design involves defining how the architecture is specified. Here, we
focus on design tools with some view of the possible implementations
frameworks providing run-time support to take full benefits of existing
infrastructure to build flexible efficient distributed systems.

Looking forward to your submissions
