			CONCUR 2011 - First Call for Papers

		22nd International Conference on Concurrency Theory

	            September 6 - September 9, 2011, Aachen, Germany

			  http://concur2011.rwth-aachen.de/
			
============================================================================

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.

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

8th Int. Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems (QEST 2011)
6th Int. Symposium on Trustworthy Global Computing (TGC 2011)

There will be co-located workshops, which take place on September 5
and September 10, and tutorials (associated with QEST) on September
5.

			================================
				PAPER SUBMISSION
			================================

CONCUR 2011 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papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication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.  Contributions should be submitted electronically as PDF,
using the Springer LNCS style. Papers should not exceed 15 pages in
length.

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.

The CONVCUR 2011 proceedings will be published by Springer in the
ArCoSS subseries of LNCS.  The proceedings will be available at
the conference.
