Structure of the workshop

The objective of the 2005 edition of the Monterey Workshops is to elaborate a snapshot of the state of the art concerning the construction of safe networked systems. We aim to achieve this by structuring the program as follow:

  • Keynote Presentations will be given to provide a broad vision in the area,
  • Invited talks will focus on specific scientific results from participants.
  • Structured discussion on research approaches in the context of a set of "Challenge Problems". The Challenge Problems will address specific issues from current literature and practice. So far, two problems are identified: feel free to adapt these problems and to integrate hypotheses that seems suitable.
  • Open discussion summarizing Workshop findings: promising approaches, open problems, excpected new challenges and technology roadmaps.

Invitees are requested to provide a 1 to 3 page abstract focusing on a research approach, or challenge problem. Based on the submitted abstracts, the Program Committee will select invited talks in both areas. These contributions should be provided via electronic mail by September 4th 2005.Selection of invited talks will be made by September 11th, 2005.

Those participants who plan to contribute to the program with new Challenge Problems, we will request to make the problem description available through the web site for others before the meeting. Participants contributing to the program with research approaches are invited to prepare a few slides to outline how you could address some issues deduced from the Challenge Problems.

Based on the discussions, participants will be invited to submit extended material for publication in a special issue.
