Quantitative aspects of computation are important and sometimes essential in
characterising the behaviour and determining the properties of systems. They
are related to the use of physical quantities (time, bandwidth, etc.) as well
as mathematical quantities (probabilities, rates, etc.). Such quantities play
a central role in defining both the model of systems (architecture, language
design, semantics) and the methodologies and tools for the analysis and
verification of system properties.
The aim of this workshop is to discuss the explicit use of quantitative
information such as time and probabilities either directly in the model or as
a tool for the analysis of systems. In particular, the workshop focuses on
the design of probabilistic and real-time languages and the definition of
semantical models for such languages;
the discussion of methodologies for the analysis of probabilistic and
timing properties (e.g. security, safety, schedulability);
the probabilistic analysis of systems which do not explicitly incorporate
quantitative aspects (e.g. performance and reliability analysis);
applications to safety-critical systems, communication protocols,
asynchronous hardware, etc.

Submission:
There will be two types of submissions:
Full papers of at most 15 pages in A4 format. The use of the ENTCS style
files is strongly recommended. Submissions should arrive by Sunday 2
January 2005. Authors will be notified of the acceptance or rejection
of their papers by Sunday 23 January 2005. Final versions of accepted
papers must be received in camera-ready and electronic form by Monday
14 February 2005.
Extended abstracts of ongoing work of at most 5 pages in length. The
deadline for submission is Tuesday 1 February 2005. On the basis of
available time a selection of these abstracts will be invited for
presentation at the workshop. The authors will be informed about a
decision by Tuesday 15 February 2005.
Submission Procedure:
Please send submissions as ps or pdf files to: qapl05 [at] doc.ic.ac.uk
Publication Policy:
All accepted (full) papers will be published as an ENTCS volume. As for QAPL
2004 we will pursue the publication of the best papers and abstracts presented
at the workshop in a special issue of TCS.
