                                                        (MTCoord 2005)


                                          April 23, 2005, Namur, Belgium
          Workshop affiliated to Coordination'2005, April 20 - 23 2005




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


IMPORTANT DATES:


      o March 1, 2005: Abstract submission deadline.
      o March 8, 2005: Paper Submission deadline.
      o April 1, 2005: Notification of acceptance.
      o April 10, 2005: Final version.
      o April 23, 2005: Meeting Date.




SCOPE


      Various classes of computational models, languages, and formalisms
      have emerged in the aim of providing high-level descriptions of
      concurrent, distributed, and mobile systems. Typical examples
      include so-called coordination languages and models (e.g. Gamma,
      Linda, Manifold, Reo, Klaim, Lime, ...), concurrent constraint
      languages (e.g. cc languages, Mozart, ...) and process algebras
      (e.g. CSP, CCS, pi-calculus, ...).


      These models are based on generative communication via a shared
      data space or on data communication through channels. In both
      cases, software components are typically conceived in isolation
      assuming that the required data will eventually be available.
      However, making a whole system out of these components and, in
      particular, ensuring that interactions occur properly is far from
      being obvious. The aim of the workshop is precisely to bring
      together researchers, working in different communities
      (coordination, constraints, process algebras), on methods and tools
      for the construction of concurrent, distributed and mobile systems.




TOPICS OF INTEREST


      Topics of interest include but are not limited to


      o Model checking techniques, in particular parallel, distributed
          and probabilistic ones
      o Design of high-level specifications, eg based on first-order,
          modal and temporal logics
      o Techniques for requirements capture and analysis
      o Theorem proving based methodologies
      o Compositional and refinement-based methodologies
      o Debugging techniques
      o Abstract interpretation
      o Program analysis and transformation
      o Simulation and testing
      o Formal methods for security
      o Tools environments and architectures
      o Applications and case studies, in particular in web services
          and biology




SUBMISSION GUIDELINES


      Papers describing original work are solicited as contributions to
      MTCoord 2005. Submitted papers should be limited to 6 000 words,
      preferrably formatted according to the Electronical Notes in
      Theoretical Computer Science.


      They should be submitted through the conference management system
      that will be available from the workshop web site
      http://www.info.fundp.ac.be/MTCoord/MTCoord05




PUBLICATION


      Selected work will be published in a volume of the Electronical
      Notes in Theoretical Computer Science.




LOCATION


      The workshop will be held in Namur in April 23 2005. It is a
      satellite workshop of Coordination 2005. For venue and
      registration, see the Coordination'2005 web page at
      http://www.coordination2005.org
