The 29th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2018)

Beijing, China | September 4-7, 2018 | http://lcs.ios.ac.cn/concur2018/

The purpose of CONCUR 2018, the 29th International Conference on Concurrency Theory, is to bring together researchers, developers, and students in order to advance the theory of concurrency, and promote its applications. In 2018, CONCUR takes place as part of CONFESTA, which is the umbrella event comprising the joint international 2018 meetings CONCUR, FORMATS, QEST, and SETTA, alongside with several workshops and tutorials. The topics covered are Theory, Formal Modelling, Verification, Performance Evaluation and Engineering of concurrent, timed, cyber-physical, and other systems.

Invited speakers

  • Yuxin Deng, East China Normal University (China)
  • Rob van Glabbeek, Stanford University (USA), CSIRO, and University of New South Wales (Australia)
  • Bow-Yaw Wang, Academia Sinica (Taiwan)

Co-located events at CONFESTA

  • 16th International Conference on Formal Modelling and Analysis of Timed Systems (FORMATS 2018)
  • 15th International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems (QEST 2018)
  • 4th International Symposium on Dependable Software Engineering (SETTA 2018)

CONFESTA will also host a number of workshops and tutorials (TBA).   

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, Petri nets, hybrid systems, mobile and collaborative systems, probabilistic systems, real-time systems, biology-inspired systems, and synchronous systems;
  • Logics for concurrency such as modal logics, probabilistic and stochastic logics, temporal logics, and resource logics;
  • 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, type systems, and security analysis;
  • Distributed algorithms and data structures: design, analysis, complexity, correctness, fault tolerance, reliability, availability, consistency, self-organization, self-stabilization, protocols.
  • Theoretical foundations of architectures, execution environments, and software development for concurrent systems such as geo-replicated systems, communication networks, multiprocessor and multi-core architectures, shared and transactional memory, resource management and awareness, compilers and tools for concurrent programming, programming models such as component-based, object- and service-oriented.
