Call for Papers and Participation
organised by
the "Coloured Petri Net" Group
at the University of Aarhus and
the "Theoretical Foundations
of Computer Science" Group at the University of Hamburg
The workshop MOCA'01
will take place at the University of
Aarhus, Denmark on August 27-28 in conjunction with
CPN'01
. The workshop is organised by the "Coloured
Petri Net" group of the University of Aarhus and the "Theoretical Foundations
of Computer Science" group of the University of Hamburg.
Accepted papers will be included in the workshop
proceedings which will appear as a technical report of the Department of
Computer Science, University of Aarhus.
The submissions will be evaluated by the international
programme committee
Central and widely used structuring notions are
objects, components, and agents. In Petri-net-based approaches the modelling
process and its products are often directly related to these three notions.
While Petri nets are already used in several areas their relation to practically
used paradigms are not completely clear.
Petri nets are becoming increasingly
popular in the area of software engineering, as they provide a uniform
language supporting modelling, validation and verification. Their popularity
is due to the fact that they capture fundamental aspects of causality,
concurrency and choice in a natural and mathematically precise way without
compromising readability.
Object-orientation is one of the
central concepts of current distributed system development. It is now the
underlying paradigm for most approaches. The fact that nowadays developers
think object-oriented simplifies the step towards component and agent concepts,
since both are based on the object-concept.
Component-based development is
strongly related to the industrialisation of software production. The attempt
is to increase productivity of software engineers by reusing components
or by configuring pre-build generic components. Compositionality is a key
concept for the construction of future software systems.
Agents can be
seen as the new paradigm for software engineering, at least with
respect to upcoming challenges in software engineering like the development
of autonomous, mobile, and intelligent software. Agent technology is currently
one of the most vibrant and active areas of research and development in
computer science. Multi-agent systems and mobile agent technologies are
making significant impacts upon almost all aspects of computer science.

Submissions
The papers will also be available in electronic
form via the CPN Web pages at the University of Aarhus. Finally, we plan
to publish some of the papers in a journal (after an additional review
process).
