On the occasion of the 25-th anniversary of the School of Engineering of the University of Zaragoza, in the week from September 6 to September 10, a number of meetings will be organized in Zaragoza:

  • PNPM'99, the 8-th International Workshop on Petri Nets and Performance Models (Sept. 8-10)
  • PAPM'99, the 7-th International Workshop on Process Algebras and Performance Models (Sept. 8-10)
  • NSMC'99, the 4-th International Workshop on Numerical Solutions of Markov Chains (Sept. 8-10)
  • WFMT'99, the Workshop on Formal Methods and Telecommunications (Sept. 7)
  • WFMM'99, the Workshop on Formal Methods and Manufacturing (Sept 6)
    • The Workshop on Formal Methods and Manufacturing aims at discussing the state of the art in the use of formal techniques all along the life cycle of a manufacturing system, from its design to its operation. Different research areas have contributed to the manufacturing domain: computer science, discrete event systems, hybrid systems, operations research and optimization; contributions are sought in all these areas.  Problems of particular interests are:
  • modelling and simulation
  • formal specifications and verification
  • performance analysis
  • control synthesis
  • on-line scheduling

    • Submissions

    Prospective authors must send an extended abstract (5 pages minimum) of their papers to one of the co-organizers listed below. Electronic submission of uuencoded gzipped postscript files or plain text files is preferred.

    The workshop Proceedings will be published by the University of Zaragoza.
