As usual, the five days of the conference provided both very rich technical contents (some of which we start publishing in this issue) as well as a very pleasant networking atmosphere; I would like to congratulate the conference committees for the excellent week we enjoyed! I also take the opportunity to invite our readers to the next Ada-Europe conference, which will take place in Madrid, Spain, 22-26 June 2015, organised by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. More details about Ada-Europe 2015 can be found in the forthcoming events section of the Journal. Also in this section the reader will find updated information on the SIGAda HILT 2014 conference, which will be co-located with the SIGPLAN SPLASH conference, in Portland, Oregon, October 18- 21, 2014. And I am very pleased to inform about the next edition of the International Real-Time Ada Workshop, which will take place April 2015, in Vermont, USA. We expect to publish the call for papers of IRTAW 2015 in the next issue of the Journal. Concerning the technical contents of this issue, the first paper, from a group of authors from the Sfax University, Tunisia and King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia, presents an automated approach to extract the features model from software product lines. Afterwards, the issue publishes the Proceedings of the “Workshop on Mixed Criticality for Industrial Systems”, which took place at Ada-Europe 2014, June 27. The workshop provided a discussion forum on research and practice in Mixed-Criticality Systems, showing how research activities interact with industrial needs. The workshop program consisted of a keynote talk, and two technical sessions. The keynote talk was given by Albert Cohen, senior research scientist in the PARKAS group at INRIA, France on the topic of “Correct-by-Construction Multiprocessor Programming: A Common Approach for Parallel and Mixed-Critical System Design”. Multicore and mixed-criticality are important topics, being even more important to provide safe ways to develop such kind of systems. The first technical session started with a position paper on the PROXIMA project, on the topic of probabilistic approaches for timing behaviour of mixed-criticality systems, from a group of authors from multiple institutions: the University of York, UK, University of Padova, Italy, Aeroflex Gaisler, Sweden, Sysgo, France, Rapita Systems, UK, Ikerlan, Spain, Airbus Operations, France, INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt, France, Astrium, France, Infineon Technologies, UK and Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain. Then, a work from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain, provided insights in the support for automatic partitioning generation in the MultiPARTES toolset. The third work, from the Luleå University of Technology, Sweden and the CISTER Research Centre, Portugal, described the RTFM-lang approach using compile-time analysis to distinguish critical and non-critical functions and generate the appropriate access mechanisms. The second session of the workshop started with a work from CEA-LIST, France, Virginia Tech, USA and Telecom Paristech, France, showing how a linear programming approach can be used to generate time-triggered schedules for mode changes in dual-criticality systems. After that, a work from ECE Paris and University Paris-Est, France, analysed how to integrate criticality handling in the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol. And finally, a work from INRIA, Technological Research Institute SystemX, and Alstom Transport, France, presented a case study of mixed-criticality systems, in a signalling railway application. It was a very rich workshop, with fruitful interaction between participants promoting collaboration between the different communities represented.

  • Alessandro Ludovico
    POSt- DIGITAL PRINT The Mutation of Publishing since 1894 Alessandro Ludovico ONOMATOPEE 77 In this post-digital age, digital technology is no longer a revolutionary phenomenon but a normal part of every- day life. The mutation of music and film into bits and bytes, downloads and streams is now taken for granted. For the world of book and magazine publishing however, this transformation has only just begun. Still, the vision of this transformation is far from new. For more than a century now, avant-garde artists, activists and technologists have been anticipating the development of networked and electronic publishing. Although in hindsight the reports of the death of paper were greatly exaggerated, electronic publishing has now certainly become a reality. How will the analog and the digital coexist in the post-digital age of publishing? How will they transition, mix and cross over? In this book, Alessandro Ludovico re-reads the history of media technology, cultural activism and the avant- garde arts as a prehistory of cutting through the so-called dichotomy between paper and electronics. Ludovico is the editor and publisher of Neural, a magazine for critical digital culture and media arts. For more than twenty years now, he has been working at the cutting edge (and the outer fringes) of both print publishing and politically engaged digital art.
