== CALL FOR PAPERS == 

1st International Workshop on Meta Models for Process Languages (MeMo) 2014

affiliated to DisCoTec (http://www.discotec.org)

June 6th, 2014, Berlin, Germany

http://www.itu.dk/research/models/wiki/index.php/MeMo2014

== Aim and Topics: ==

The workshop targets research in and new applications of formal meta models
for the definition of process languages and their semantics. 

Examples of such meta models are bigraphical reactive systems, psi-calculi, the 
tile Model, term and graph rewriting, SOS formats, presheaf models, co-algebras and
specification of processes in logical frameworks such as CELF.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on the development
of theory and tools for meta models for process languages - to share insights,
uncover similarities and differences, possibilities for cross-fertilization and stimulate
further research in this exciting area. The workshop will be welcoming old and new
members of the community alike.

In addition to presentations of contributed papers the workshop will offer two
1-hour tutorials, a poster session and a round-table discussion at the end of the
workshop.

Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously nor to be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this workshop. 

We welcome both tool presentations and research contributions.

Evaluation criteria will be technical quality, readability, novelty, and scope.

All papers and posters must be in English and submitted at the EasyChair submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=memo2014 

Papers should use the Springer LNCS style and not exceed 15 pages in length. If necessary, the paper may be supplemented with a clearly
