Well defined intercommunication schemes for such Systems–on–Chip are fundamental for handling the increasing complexity. So called bus–based and bus matrix–based communication frameworks for Systems–on–Chip face immense pressure of the increasing size and complexity, unable to offer the scalability required. The Network–on–Chip communication paradigm for Systems–on–Chip has been introduced to answer the given challenges offering very high communication bandwidth and network scalability through its generally regular structure. The communication between the modules of a System–on–Chip is generally categorised as synchronous or asynchronous, with a recent shift towards Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous Systems–on–Chip. In such systems each module can be synchronised to a private local clock but their intercommunication is established asynchronously, relying on request and acknowledgement communication handshakes.

Apart from her husband Thorbjörn Andersson and the rest of her family, Kaisa is going to be missed by so many colleagues in Finland and worldwide. Kaisa was born in 1954 in Kokkola, Finland. She graduated from Åbo Akademi University with a M.Sc. in Mathematics and received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the same university in 1990. She was a lecturer at Ohio State University, US, during 1984 –1985 and a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Computer Science, at Utrecht University, the Netherlands, during 1991–1992. She held an Associate Professorship at the University of Kuopio, in the Department of Com- puter Science and Applied Mathematics, during 1993–1998, she became a Docent of Computer Science at the same department in 1997, and held a senior research professorship from the Academy of Finland during 1998–1999. She became a full professor of Computer Science and Engineering at Åbo Akademi University on August 1st, 1998. During 2010– 2011, she also held a senior researcher position from the Academy of Finland and a vice-rectorship at Åbo Akademi University. One of the major contributions of Kaisa Sere’s career was made to the refinement research.

All rights reserved. Preface It is the policy of the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Aalborg University that its research units are to be evaluated every five years. Following that policy, the present report documents the fourth research evaluation of the Department of Computer Science and covers the period 2001–2005. According to the Faculty’s guidelines, the objectives of the evaluation are three- fold. The first is to assess whether there is a satisfactory agreement between allo- cated internal and external research resources and the research accomplished. The second is to determine whether the Department’s actual research efforts are consis- tent with its goals and plans for the period, as they are expressed in the long-term research plans of the Faculty of Engineering and Science. As the third objective, the evaluation is intended to aid the Department in planning its future research efforts. Realizing that a research evaluation itself is a learning experience that pro- vides an opportunity to rise above the daily routine and reflect upon research, we agreed upon an additional objective. Within the Department, the evaluation—the process as well as the final report—should constructively aid the staff members in evaluating and improving their effectiveness as researchers, as group leaders, and as administrators of research at the departmental level.

  • Towards Scalable Modeling of Biology in Event-B 3
    Towards Scalable Modeling of Biology in Event-B Usman Sanwal1, Thai Son Hoang2, Luigia Petre1, and Ion Petre3,4 1 Faculty of Science and Engineering, Åbo Akademi University, Finland 2 School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, UK 3 Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Turku, Finland 4 National Institute for Research and Development in Biological Sciences, Romania Abstract. Biology offers many examples of large-scale, complex, con- current systems: many processes take place in parallel, compete on re- sources and influence each other’s behavior. The scalable modeling of biological systems continues to be a very active field of research. In this paper we introduce a new approach based on Event-B, a state-based for- mal method with refinement as its central ingredient, allowing us to check for model consistency step-by-step in an automated way. Our approach based on functions leads to an elegant and concise modeling method. We demonstrate this approach by constructing what is, to our knowledge, the largest ever built Event-B model, describing the ErbB signaling path- way, a key evolutionary pathway with a significant role in development and in many types of cancer. The Event-B model for the ErbB pathway describes 1320 molecular reactions through 242 events. 1 Introduction Biological systems are typically very large and complex, so much that it is re- markably difficult to capture all the necessary details in one modeling step. The concept of refinement – gradually adding details to a model while preserving its consistency – is thus instrumental and it has been shown before, in our [29] and related research [9,10,11,16], to bring value to biological modeling.

  • Model-Driven Software Development
    Model-Driven Software Development Stephen W. Liddle 1 Introduction Software development is a complex and difficult task that requires the in- vestment of significant resources and carries major risk of failure. According to its proponents, model-driven (MD) software development approaches are improving the way we build software. Model-driven approaches putatively increase developer productivity, decrease the cost (in time and money) of software construction, improve software reusability, and make software more maintainable. Likewise, model-driven techniques promise to aid in the early detection of defects such as design flaws, omissions, and misunderstandings between clients and developers. The promises of MD are rather lofty, and so it is only natural to find many skeptics. As Brooks famously described [Bro95], software engineering will not likely deliver the sort of productivity gains we experience in hardware engineering where we see \Moore's law"-styled doublings every 24 months [Moo10]. Thus, if we accept Brooks' premise, nobody should expect any innovative approach to software development to be a \magical silver bullet" that will increase productivity by an order of magnitude within a decade. Unfortunately, the amount of hyperbole surrounding the various flavors of MD sometimes makes it seem like advocates believe MD to be a silver bullet. Model-driven devel- opment is no panacea. However, we believe that model-driven is a superior approach to software construction. This chapter examines the current state of the art in model-driven software development. We begin by characterizing the various approaches to model-driven devel- opment (Section 2). Then we examine what modeling is and why we engage in modeling (Section 3).

  • Stepwise Refinement of Heap-Manipulating Code in Chalice
    Stepwise Refinement of Heap-Manipulating Code in Chalice Manuscript KRML 211 – December 23, 2011 K. Rustan M. Leino0 and Kuat Yessenov1 ? 0 Microsoft Research, Redmond, CA, USA [email protected] 1 MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, Cambridge, MA, USA [email protected] Abstract. Stepwise refinement is a well-studied technique for developing a pro- gram from an abstract description to a concrete implementation. This paper de- scribes a system with automated tool support for refinement, powered by a state- of-the-art verification engine that uses an SMT solver. Unlike previous refine- ment systems, users of the presented system interact only via declarations in the programming language. Another aspect of the system is that it accounts for dy- namically allocated objects in the heap, so that data representations in an abstract program can be refined into ones that use more objects. Finally, the system uses a language with familiar imperative features, including sequential composition, loops, and recursive calls, offers a syntax with skeletons for describing program changes between refinements, and provides a mechanism for supplying witnesses when refining non-deterministic programs. 0 Introduction The prevalent style of programming today uses low-level programming languages (like C or Java) into which programmers encode the high-level design or informal specifi- cations they have in mind. From a historical perspective, it makes sense that this style would have come from the view that what the programming language provides is a de- scription of the data structures and code that the executing program will use. However, upon reflection, the style seems far from ideal, for several reasons.
