This volume contains the papers presented at the 14th SDL Forum, Bochum, Germany entitled Design for Motes and Mobiles. The SDL Forum has been held every two years for the last three decades and is one of the most important open events in the calendar for anyone from academia or industry involved in System DesignLanguagesandmodelling technologies. It is a primary conference event for discussion of the evolution and use of these languages. The most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and concerns in the ?eld are discussed and presented. The SDL Forum series addresses issues related to the modelling and analysis of reactive systems, distributed systems, and real-time and complex systems such as telecommunications, automotive, and aerospace applications. The intended audience of the series includes users of modelling techniques in industrial, research, and standardization contexts, as well as tool vendors and language researchers. Of course, during the last three decades languages, associated methods, and tools have evolved and new ones have been developed. The application domain haschangedalmostbeyondrecognition. Threedecadesagothemobiletechnology of today was science ?ction, whereas now we ?nd software systems embedded in inexpensive childrens' toys. More recently multi-core processors have become common technology for consumer computers, and are beginning to be applied in smalldevices. Eveninsmallco-operating, independently poweredremotedevices (such as motes and mobile phones), there is enough memory and processing power to support quite sophisticated operating systems and applications.

The papers are organized in topical sections on language profiles - what was the main focus of this SAM workshop - evolution of development languages, model-driven development, and language implementation.

This volume contains the papers presented at the 12th SDL Forum, Grimstad, Norway. The SDL Forum was ?rst held in 1982, and then every two years from 1985. Initially the Forum was concerned only with the Speci?cation and Description Language that was ?rst standardized in the 1976 Orange Book of the Inter- tional Telecommunication Union (ITU). Since then, many developments took place and the language has undergone several changes. However, the main underlying paradigm has survived, and it is the reason for the success of the Speci?cation and Description Language in many projects. This paradigm is based on the following important principles of distributed - plications: Communication: large systems tend to be described using smaller parts that communicate with each other; State: the systems are described on the basis of an explicit notion of state; State change: the behavior of the system is described in terms of (local) changes of the state. The original language is not the only representative for this kind of paradigm, so the scope of the SDL Forum was extended quite soon after the ?rst few events to also include other ITU standardized languages of the same family, such as MSC, ASN.1 and TTCN. This led to the current scope of System Design Languages coveringallstagesofthedevelopmentprocessincludinginparticularSDL, MSC, UML, ASN.1, eODL, TTCN, and URN. The focus is clearly on the advantages to users, and how to get from these languages the same advantage given by the ITU Speci?cation and Description Language: code generation from high-level speci?cations

Intelligence in Services and Networks focuses on exploring how best the inherent intelligence in networks may be employed and enhanced to provide, firstly, flexibility and open competition in the provision of communications-based services and, secondly, the means for managing and administering end-to-end communication systems that span many independent network operators and service providers. The emphasis in this area of research is on applying the best techniques for system specification and corresponding software development, as a basis for the creation of open platforms, and subsequent standardisation. Resolving this issue is key to the successful deployment of advanced communications in the deregulated and highly competitive environment that will underpin any futher "information society."

How To Triple Your Customers in 48 Hours. A quick and easy read, this book is jam packed with takeaways and strategies to boost your profits. The perfect introduction to Internet Marketing. You want to stay abreast of the rapid changes through which the internet is constantly evolving and keep yourself on the cutting edge, to generate more customers, boost your profits and overthrow your competition, but the landscape changes on a daily basis. I have good news I can put you at the top of the search engines, the only place that matters online, in the next 60 days, guaranteed. Further, I can keep you there from month-to-month despite constant internet changes. Even further, I can triple your customer response rate within the next 48 hours. (I'll show you how in Chapter Two.) My name is Rick Reed and I'm a partner in "Rapid Marketing Results" (RMR Marketing, LLC) with more than 30 years' experience in media marketing. 100% of my clients maintain a presence above-the-fold in the 3 major search engines, Google, Bing and Yahoo. What does this mean to you, as a client? If you have been below-the-fold (more than one-third down the first page of Google, for instance), rising above-the-fold should at least triple your online customer response. Could you handle 3 times as many customers? Relevant communication (content) is what Google measures to determine whether you are the answer to your potential customer's search. They do this with hundreds of top secret proprietary criteria that we will discuss in a later chapter. But, in my opinion, the most important criterion is conversion. Content that converts potential customers to actual customers should be the basis of any marketing strategy. But Content, or the message, is not necessarily a sales pitch. It can take any of hundreds of forms. Content can be subtle or subliminal, crazy loud and flashy, or anything in between. Content can be delivered through a myriad of diverse media, including written word, visual images, audio channels, billboards, video, flash streams, or an infinite combination of senses. So how are you going to structure your content (message) to connect to your traffic (potential customers) in such a way to convert your traffic to customers and get your desired response (usually money, but sometimes something more altruistic, like Global Awareness)? That is what Marketing is all about. Selling internet marketing services to Local Business Owners and Professionals is the latest craze among the "Make-Money-From-Home-in-Your-Underwear" crowd. You may have noticed the increase in phone calls, Emails, and proposals to provide these services to you. Perhaps you've been burned by one of these newly baptized "experts." I'd encourage you right now to consider my credentials to guide you as a Marketing Consultant.
