SCOPE

Computer aided modeling and simulation of complex systems, using components
from 
multiple application domains, such as electrical, mechanical, hydraulic,
control, etc., have 
in recent years witnessed a significant growth of interest. In the last
decade, novel 
equation-based object-oriented (EOO) modeling languages, (e.g. Modelica,
gPROMS, 
and VHDL-AMS) based on acausal modeling using equations have appeared. Using
such 
languages, it has become possible to model complex systems covering multiple

application domains at a high level of abstraction through reusable model
components.

The EOOLT Workshop addresses the current state of the art of EOO modeling
languages 
as well as open issues that currently still limit the expression power and
usefulness of 
such languages through a set of full-length presentations, short position
papers, and 
forum discussions.

The workshop is concerned with, but not limited to, the following themes: 

 * Acausality and its role in model reusability.
 * Component systems for EOO languages. 
 * Database lookup and knowledge invocation.
 * Discrete-event and hybrid modeling using EOO languages. 
 * Embedded systems.
 * EOO language constructs in support of simulation, optimization,
diagnostics,
   and system identification. 
 * EOO mathematical modeling vs. UML modeling. 
 * Equation-based languages supporting DAEs and/or PDEs.
 * Formal semantics of EOO related languages.
 * Multi-resolution / multi-scale modeling using EOO languages.
 * Numerical coupling of EOO simulators and other simulation tools.
 * Parallel execution of EOO models. 
 * Performance issues. 
 * Programming / modeling environments.
 * Real-time simulation using EOO languages.
 * Reflection and meta-programming. 
 * Reuse of models in EOO languages. 
 * Table lookup and interpolation.
 * Type systems and early static checking. 
 * Verification. 


CONTRIBUTIONS

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit either full-length
papers (up to 10 
pages) or short papers (up to 4 pages) for consideration by the program
committee. 

Papers are welcome that offer presentations and discussions of existing
tools, their 
capabilities and limitations; reports on practical experience;
demonstrations of tools, 
ideas, and concepts; positions related to relevant questions; and discussion
topics.



PUBLICATION

If a paper has been accepted, the authors have two options: 

1) Present the paper and also have the paper published in electronic
proceedings 
(and a local conference paper version) at Linköping University Electronic
Press.
The best of these papers will be selected and the authors will be asked to
resubmit
an extended version for review and to be possibly published in the SIMPRA
journal. 

2) Present the paper, but do not publish it - and thus be free to publish
elsewhere e.g. 
in another conference. Only a short 1-page abstract is included in the
proceedings.
