 Venue
 -----
 Kaiserslautern is a traditional trade centre situated on an old Roman
 road. Contemporary political developments have moved the town from the
 centre of the region to the heart of Europe. Having slightly over
 100,000 inhabitants, Kaiserslautern offers the facilities and flair of
 a city, but on the other hand, it has managed to retain the personal
 touch of a provincial town. The vast green national park known as the
 Pfaelzerwald, the largest continuous stretch of forest in Germany,
 reaches to the very edge of the town. Today, the large number of
 practice-oriented technology and research experts at the University of
 Technology and Natural Sciences, together with companies of worldwide
 reputation, form a vital factor of dynamic development at
 Kaiserslautern.

 Track 1
 -------
 
 9:00 - 12:30    (Track 1)
 
   "Formal Methods for Multimedia and Broadband Systems"
 
   S. Fischer, University of Montreal, Canada
   S. Leue, University of Waterloo, Canada
 
   Formal methods have been applied successfully to the specification of
   "traditional" communication protocols, services and network
   applications. With the development of high-speed networks such as ATM
   or FDDI new distributed applications have emerged. These impose
   requirements on the communication subsystem that are different from
   those on traditional systems: many of them are related to real-time
   aspects of the network or end-system performance (e.g. throughput,
   delay or synchronization). Furthermore, to meet application level
   performance requirements, highly efficient techniques to implement
   communication software have been developed.
 
   We show how formal description techniques (in particular SDL and
   Estelle) can be used for the specification and implementation of
   broadband communication systems such as high-speed TCP/IP, XTP, ATM
   protocols and distributed multimedia systems. In the first part we
   concentrate on deterministic, real time-related Quality of Service
   (QoS) requirements. We identify a set of "typical" QoS parameters for
   various components of Broadband and Multimedia communication systems.
   Then we show how these requirements can be specified using two
   different approaches: a real-time extension of Estelle (called
   Real-Time Estelle), and the complementary use of SDL and Metric
   Temporal Logic specifications. In the second part we present
   efficient, optimizing code generation and implementation techniques
   for Estelle and SDL specifications. We show that basing the
   implementation on formal techniques is especially helpful when
   automating it in a tool environment.
 
   Intended audience: 
   Software engineers and scientists with an interest in the development
   of software for BBC & MM systems.
 

 14:00 - 17:30   (Track 1)
 
   "Formal Approaches to Managing Feature Interactions"
 
   E. J. Cameron, Bellcore, USA
   B. Cohen, City University London, UK
 
   This tutorial begins with an illustrative collection of feature
   interactions selected to emphasize various aspects of the feature
   interaction problem, as well as to illustrate the challenges faced by
   anyone attempting to formally address this problem. Next, we present
   and analyze various of the popular approaches to formalizing features
   and attempting to automatically detect interactions among them. These
   approaches are classified according to the types of interactions they
   potentially could detect, and the parts of the software lifespan they
   address. Finally, we present sources of interactions that aren't
   successfully addressed by any published approach and suggest
   potential ways to address them. Feature interactions from fields
   other than telephony will be also presented.
 
   Intended audience: 
   The tutorial is intended for an audience with a good understanding of
   formal methods and an intuitive feel for telephone services. While on
   a serious topic, it will be presented in an entertaining style.
 
 
 
 Track 2
 -------
 
 9:00 - 10:30    (Track 2)
 
   "Stochastic Process Algebras - Between LOTOS and Markov Chains"
 
   H. Hermanns, U. Herzog, V. Mertsiotakis, University of
   Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany
 
   This tutorial will introduce the audience to the benefits of
   Stochastic Process Algebras as an approach for the structured design
   and analysis of both the functional behaviour and performance
   characteristics of parallel and distributed systems. This is achieved
   by integrating stochastic modelling and analysis into process
   algebras like CCS or LOTOS.
 
   After advocating the use of Stochastic Process Algebras as a
   modelling technique we recapitulate the foundations of classical
   process algebras. Then, we will introduce additional means to model
   the stochastic behaviour of a system, using the Stochastic Process
   Algebra TIPP. We outline the steps that allow every TIPP
   specification to be interpreted as a Continuous Time Markov Chain.
   This Markov Chain can subsequently be analyzed by powerful and well
   investigated performance evaluation algorithms.
 
   We will show how notions of equivalent behaviour - substantial for
   process algebras - stand in a new light for Stochastic Process
   Algebras. In particular we will discuss the impact of stochastic
   versions of Milner's strong bisimulation and observational congruence
   on performance analysis of TIPP models.
 
   A large repertoire of case studies, as well as recent results and the
   implications of the formal development for tool support will also be
   discussed.
 

 11:00 - 12:30   (Track 2)
 
   "Partial Order Models for Quantitative Extensions of LOTOS"
 
   J.-P. Katoen, University of Twente, The Netherlands
   D. Latella, CNUCE, Italy
 
   The study of formal methods for the functional specification, design,
   and analysis of distributed systems has been an important research
   topic over the past decade. More recently, formal methods have been
   extended in order to incorporate quantitative aspects of system
   behaviour, like those dealing with time, probability and
   stochasticity.
 
   Quantitative extensions of interleaving models have been investigated
   thoroughly. However, in the final stages of the design trajectory,
   the global state assumption of the interleaving approach hampers us
   to faithfully model the distribution aspects of a system.
   Partial-order models are considered to be more appropriate here.
 
   In this tutorial we will show how quantitative extensions of
   partial-order models can be obtained, how they relate to several
   existing interleaving approaches, and, in particular, how they can be
   used as semantical models for real-time (with urgency), probabilistic
   and stochastic-timing extensions of LOTOS. These models are
   introduced by means of small examples rather than elaborating on
   their mathematical background.
 
   Some examples are also expressed in other models, such as labelled
   transition systems and Petri nets. This presentation allows a
   comparison and evaluation of the relative merits of the partial order
   approach in the light of small examples.
 
   Intended audience: 
   The tutorial is particularly addressed to researchers as well as
   system designers who are interested in the formal link between formal
   system specification and verification techniques and performance
   analysis.
 
 
 14:00 - 15:30   (Track 2)
 
   "Message Sequence Charts (MSC'96)"
 
   E. Rudolph, Technical University of Munich, Germany
   J. Grabowski, University of Luebeck, Germany
   P. Graubmann, Siemens AG, Germany
 
   MSC is a trace language which in its graphical form admits a
   particularly intuitive representation of system runs in distributed
   systems while focussing on the description of message interchange
   between communicating entities and their environment. The MSC
   recommendation Z.120 (MSC'92) was approved for the first time at the
   ITU meeting Geneva 1992. A new revised MSC recommendation Z.120
   (MSC'96) was approved at the closing session of the study period in
   April 1996.
 
   Whereas in MSC'92 main emphasis was put on the elaboration of basic
   concepts and a corresponding formal semantics, in the new MSC version
   - MSC'96 - structural language constructs, essentially composition
   and object oriented concepts, play a dominant role. With these new
   concepts, the power of MSC is enhanced considerably in order to
   overcome the traditional restriction of MSC to the specification of
   only a few selected system runs.
 
   MSCs have been used informally before standardization mainly for the
   purpose of overview specifications. Due to standardization, the
   importance of MSCs for software engineering has increased
   considerably. Accordingly, MSCs are used in nearly all stages of the
   software life cycle, most frequently in connection with SDL. Within
   the tutorial the use of MSC is demonstrated by means of one typical
   example.
 
   Intended audience: 
   The intended audience primarily consists of participants who have
   already some experience in MSC'92 and SDL but the tutorial should
   also offer an introduction to newcomers. The tutorial is intended to
   be practice oriented.

   "Using Formal Methods: if you're so smart how come you ain't rich?"
   E. Brinksma, University of Twente, The Netherlands
 
   The appreciation of formal methods as useful tools for the design and
   analysis of communicating systems is subject to considerable
   variation of opinion. They are seen as a solution by some, and a
   problem by others. They have been hailed as the answer to the
   software crisis by some and others have detested them for their
   obvious inapplicability. Some think their days are yet to come, for
   others they are part of a now forsaken paradigm. In our presentation
   we will analyse the reasons for these contradictory views. By
   reviewing some successful and failed applications of formal methods
   we will try and find out under what conditions the application of
   formal methods is profitable.
