CALL FOR PAPERS: YR-CONCUR 2010



Young Researchers Workshop on Concurrency Theory



September 4, 2010



Paris, France



https://www.win.tue.nl/~luttik/YR-CONCUR10/





Aims and objectives

This workshop aims at providing a platform for PhD students and young researchers who recently completed their doctoral studies, to exchange new results related to concurrency theory and receive feedback on their research. Focus is on informal discussions. Excellent master students working on concurrency theory are also encouraged to contribute.


Format

YR-CONCUR 2010 is a satellite workshop of CONCUR 2010, and will be held on Saturday September 4, 2010. It is anticipated that many CONCUR participants will attend the YR-workshop (and vice versa). Presentations are selected on the basis of an abstract of up to four pages (incl. references) describing the research. The accepted abstracts will be made available at the workshop, but no formal proceedings are planned. It is thus also allowed (and encouraged) to send results that have been published at other conferences (although preferably not at CONCUR 2010 or any of its other satellite workshops).


History

The Young Researchers Workshop on Concurrency Theory was first organised in 2009 (YR-CONCUR09) by Joost-Pieter Katoen as a satellite workshop of CONCUR 2009 in Bologna, Italy.
