                         Call for Participation

                   First International Summer School on
                      Emerging Trends in Concurrency
                                TiC'06

                    Bertinoro, Italy, July 24-29, 2006


   Concurrency is a pervasive and essential characteristic of modern  
computer
   systems.  Whether it  is the  design of  new hyperthreading   
techniques in
   computer architectures, specification  of non-blocking data  
structures and
   algorithms, implementation of scalable computer farms for handling  
massive
   data sets, or the design of a robust software architecture for  
distributed
   business processes, a deep understanding of mechanisms and  
foundations for
   expressing and controlling concurrency is required.

   The  goal  of  the  school  is  to  expose  graduate  students   
and  young
   researchers  to  new  ideas  in  concurrent programming  from   
experts  in
   academia  and  industry. The  school  provides  a  unique  
opportunity  for
   students  to  have  engaging  discussions on  cutting-edge   
research  with
   instructors  in a  focused environment.  The  school covers  one  
week  and
   alternates  monograph  courses of  4/6  hours  and  short courses   
of  2/3
   hours. We  also encourage presentations  by participants to   
discuss their
   current  research,   and  to  receive  feedback  from   the   
audience  and
   instructors.

   Speakers:

     * Maurice Herlihy  (Brown)
     * Suresh Jagannathan (Purdue)
     * Shaz Qadeer  (Microsoft Research)

   Venue:

   The school  is organised at  the Centro Residenziale  
Universitario  of the
   University of Bologna, situated in  Bertinoro, a small village on  
a scenic
   hill  with a wonderful  panorama, in  between Forli  and Cesena   
(about 50
   miles south-east of Bologna, 15 miles to the Adriatic sea).

   Organizers:

   Nadia Busi (University of Bologna), Ananth Grama (Purdue),
