[qest-announce] CONCUR 2013 - Second call for papers


[We apologise for multiple copies.]

============================================================================

                     CONCUR 2013 - Second Call for Papers

             24th International Conference on Concurrency Theory

                August 27 - 30, 2013, Buenos Aires Argentina

                  http://concur-conferences.org/concur2013

============================================================================

The purpose of the CONCUR conferences is to bring together researchers,
developers, and students in order to advance the theory of concurrency,
and promote its applications.


INVITED SPEAKERS

- Lorenzo Alvisi (University of Texas Austin, USA)
- Joost-Pieter Katoen (RWTH Aachen University, Germany)
- Philippe Schnoebelen (LSV, CNRS & ENS de Cachan, France)
- Reinhard Wilhelm (Saarland University, Germany)


TOPICS

Submissions are solicited in semantics, logics, verification and 
analysis of concurrent systems. The principal topics include (but are 
not limited to):

- Basic models of concurrency such as abstract machines, domain
  theoretic models, game theoretic models, process algebras,
  graph transformation systems and Petri nets;

- Logics for concurrency such as modal logics, probabilistic and
  stochastic logics, temporal logics, and resource logics;

- Models of specialized systems such as biology-inspired systems,
  circuits, hybrid systems, mobile and collaborative systems,
  multi-core processors, probabilistic systems, real-time systems,
  service-oriented computing, and synchronous systems;

- Verification and analysis techniques for concurrent systems such as
  abstract interpretation, atomicity checking, model checking, race
  detection, pre-order and equivalence checking, run-time verification,
  state-space exploration, static analysis, synthesis, testing, theorem
  proving, and type systems;

- Related programming models such as distributed, component-based,
  object-oriented, and web services.


CO-LOCATED EVENTS

10th Intl. Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems (QEST 2013)
11th Intl. Conf. on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems (FORMATS 2013)
8th Intl. Symposium on Trustworthy Global Computing (TGC 2013)

There will be co-located workshops, which take place on August 26 and
August 31, and tutorials (associated with QEST) which take place on
August 26.


PAPER SUBMISSION

CONCUR 2013 solicits high quality papers reporting research results
and/or experience reports related to the topics mentioned above. All
papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for
publication elsewhere. Exceptionally, however, concurrent submissions
to CONCUR 2013 and TGC 2013 are allowed, and in fact encouraged for
those paper that may potentially enhance both conferences. Authors of
such double submissions should identify them to the Program Chairs at
the time of submission (by choosing the "Regular paper submitted also
to TGC" category in the EasyChair site). Reviews may be shared between
CONCUR 2013 and TGC 2013. Submissions accepted by CONCUR will be
considered automatically withdrawn from TGC.

Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. If necessary, the
paper may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will
be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee.

Contributions must be submitted as PDF files. They should also not
exceed 15 pages in length and comply the Springer LNCS style. Papers
should be submitted electronically using EasyChair online submission

The CONCUR 2013 proceedings will be published by Springer in the
ArCoSS subseries of LNCS. The proceedings will be available at the
conference.
