Apologies for multiple copies....Call for participation 

            15th International Workshop on

            Expressiveness in Concurrency

                     (EXPRESS'08)

          August 23rd, 2008, Toronto (Canada)

              Affiliated to CONCUR 2008
(http://www.cse.yorku.ca/concur08 - early registration for CONCUR August 1)

The EXPRESS workshops aim at bringing together researchers interested
in the relations between various formal systems, particularly in the
field of Concurrency. More specifically, they focus on the comparison
between programming concepts (such as concurrent, functional,
imperative, logic and object-oriented programming) and between
mathematical models of computation (such as process algebras, Petri
nets, event structures, modal logics, rewrite systems etc.) on the
basis of their relative expressive power.

The EXPRESS workshops were originally held as meetings of the HCM
project EXPRESS, which was active with the same focus from January
1994 till December 1997. Every year since 1998, EXPRESS has been a
satellite workshop of the CONCUR conference.
