CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE EXTENSION UNTIL AUGUST 9th

6th WORKSHOP ON SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND MODELLING - SAM 2010

http://sam2010.item.ntnu.no

4th-5th October 2010, Oslo, Norway

Co-located satellite event of
MODELS 2010
http://models2010.ifi.uio.no

**********************************************************************

The workshop provides an open arena for participants from academia and
industry to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends,
experiences and concerns in modelling, specification, and analysis of
distributed, communication and real-time systems. In particular, it
addresses SDL, MSC, and related languages such as UML, ASN.1, TTCN, and URN.

The SAM workshop originates from the use of languages and techniques for
telecommunications applications, whereas MODELS has a background in the
application of UML. However, UML is also used for telecommunications and
the languages standardized by ITU-T (ASN.1, SDL, TTCN, URN) are also used
for other applications. The 2010 MODELS conference week is a unique oppor-
tunity to attend both of these events with overlapping domains of interest.

Aug. 9th 2010: Paper submission deadline
Aug. 30rd 2010: Notification of authors
Sep. 6th 2010: Poster and exhibit proposal deadline
