PLACES 2024 -- Call for Papers (Deadline: 7 Feb 2024 AoE)

The 15th edition of PLACES (Workshop on Programming Language Approaches 
to Concurrency and Communication-cEntric Software) will be co-located 
with ETAPS 2024 in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg on 6 April 2024.

-----------------------------------------

Established in 2008, PLACES has been a popular forum for researchers 
from different fields to exchange new ideas about challenges to modern 
and future programming, where concurrency and distribution are the norm 
rather than a marginal concern.


Submission Guidelines
---

Submissions are invited in the general area of programming language 
approaches to concurrency, communication, and distribution, ranging from 
foundational issues, through language implementations, to applications 
and case studies.  Submissions will be peer-reviewed by a minimum of 
three reviewers, with the aim of allocating at least one expert 
reviewer.  Papers are reviewed based on their novelty, clarity, and 
technical soundness.  Submissions must not be submitted elsewhere and 
must be formatted in EPTCS format.  We accept the following submissions:

* Research papers -- maximum length of 8 pages (with no restriction on 
bibliography or appendices, which the reviewers are not required to 
read).  Submitted research papers are reviewed based on their novelty, 
clarity, and technical soundness.  They must not be submitted for 
publication elsewhere, and if accepted, they will appear in the PLACES 
proceedings.

* Talk proposals -- maximum length of 2 pages (with no restriction on 
bibliography or appendices, which the reviewers are not required to 
read).  Talk proposals may present ongoing work, as well as work already 
published elsewhere.  Accepted talk proposals will be presented at the 
workshop, but will not appear in the PLACES proceedings.

The proceedings of PLACES 2024 will be published as a volume of EPTCS.

Special Issue.  Authors of selected papers from PLACES 2024 will be 
later invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a special 
issue of Information and Computation or JLAMP or FAC.
