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

DCM 2011 is the seventh in a series of international workshops 
focusing on new computational models. It aims to bring together 
researchers who are currently developing new computational models 
or new features of a traditional one. The goal of DCM is to foster 
interaction, to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work 
in progress, and to enable newcomers to learn about current 
activities in this area.
DCM 2011 will be a one-day satellite event of ICALP 2011
in Zurich, Switzerland.

TOPICS OF INTEREST:
-------------------
Topics of interest include all abstract models of computation 
and their properties, and their applications to the development 
of programming languages and systems:

- quantum computation, including implementations and 
formal methods in quantum protocols;
- probabilistic computation and verification in modeling situations;
- chemical, biological and bio-inspired computation, including 
spatial models, self-assembly, growth models;
- general concurrent models including the treatment of mobility, 
trust, and security;
- comparisons of different models of computations; 
- information-theoretic ideas in computing.

IMPORTANT DATES:

SUBMISSIONS:
------------
Please submit a paper via the conference
EasyChair submission page:

   http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dcm2011

Submissions should be at most 12 pages, in PDF format.
Please use the EPTCS macro package and follow the 
instructions of EPTCS:

    http://eptcs.org/
    http://style.eptcs.org/


A submission may contain an appendix, but reading the
appendix should should not be necessary to assess the 
merits of a submission.

PUBLICATION:
------------
Accepted contributions will appear in EPTCS 
(Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science).

After the workshop, quality permitting full versions of selected 
papers will be invited for a special issue in an internationally 
leading journal.
