Topics

Submissions are solicited in semantics, logics, verification and analysis of concurrent systems.

The main topics are (but are not strictly limited to):

Basic models of concurrency such as abstract machines, domain theoretic models, game theoretic models, categorical models, process algebras, graph transformation systems, coalgebraic models, and Petri nets;
Logics for concurrency: modal logics, probabilistic and stochastic logics, temporal logics, and resource logics;
Models of specialized systems: biology-inspired systems, circuits, hybrid systems, mobile and collaborative systems, multi-core processors, probabilistic systems, real-time systems, service oriented computing, synchronous systems, and cloud computing;
Verification and analysis techniques for concurrent systems: 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: distributed, component based, object-oriented, and web services;
Security issues in concurrent systems.

Submissions and Publications

CONCUR solicits high quality papers reporting research results and/or experience reports. All papers must be original, unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Each paper will undergo a thorough review process.

The CONCUR proceedings will be published in LIPIcs (Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics), published under an open access license by Dagstuhl Publishing. As usual, the Proceedings will be available before the conference.

Submissions will be in electronic form via EasyChair. The usage of pdflatex and the LIPIcs style file (see here for some formatting tricks) are mandatory: no changes to font size, page geometry, etc. are permitted. Authors are invited to submit a draft of at most 13 pages including references. Submissions not in the correct format or submitted after the deadline will be rejected without further consideration.

If necessary, the paper may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee and the reviewers.

As usual, for an accepted paper to be included in the proceedings, one of the authors must commit to presenting the paper at the conference. All papers must be original and unpublished. Simultaneous submission to other conferences or workshops with published proceedings or to journals is not allowed.
