------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CMCS 2012 call for participation and short contributions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The 11th International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science 31 March - 1 April 2012, Tallinn, Estonia co-located with ETAPS 2012 www.coalg.org/cmcs12 Aims and scope -------------- In more than a decade of research, it has been established that a wide variety of state-based dynamical systems, like transition systems, automata (including weighted and probabilistic variants), Markov chains, and game-based systems, can be treated uniformly as coalgebras. Coalgebra has developed into a field of its own interest presenting a deep mathematical foundation, a growing field of applications, and interactions with various other fields such as reactive and interactive system theory, object-oriented and concurrent programming, formal system specification, modal and description logics, artificial intelligence, dynamical systems, control systems, category theory, algebra, analysis, etc. The aim of the CMCS workshop series is to bring together researchers with a common interest in the theory of coalgebras, their logics, and their applications. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * the theory of coalgebras (including set theoretic and categorical approaches); * coalgebras as computational and semantic models (for programming languages, dynamical systems, etc.); * coalgebras in (functional, object-oriented, concurrent) programming; * coalgebras and data types; * (coinductive) definition and proof principles for coalgebras (with bisimulations or invariants); * coalgebras and algebras; * coalgebraic specification and verification; * coalgebras and (modal) logic; * coalgebra and control theory (notably of discrete event and hybrid systems). Registration ------------ Registration is handled via the ETAPS website; please visit http://www.etaps.org/2012/registration Keynote Speaker --------------- Samson Abramsky, Oxford University, UK Invited Speakers ---------------- Marcello Bonsangue, Leiden University, The Netherlands Pawel Sobocinski, University of Southampton, UK Submission of Short Contributions --------------------------------- Submission is electronic via the easychair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmcs2012 following the submission guidelines below. Submission of regular papers is closed. The submission deadline for short contributions is February 20, 2012 (but see below under 'Important Dates'). Short contributions will be bundled in a technical report. They should be no more than two pages in LNCS format and may describe work in progress, summarise work submitted to a conference or workshop elsewhere, or in some other way appeal to the CMCS audience. Important dates --------------- * 20 February 2012: submission deadline for short contributions * 25 February 2012: author notification for short contributions * 26 February 2012: ETAPS normal registration deadline * 31 March - 1 April 2012: the workshop We continue to accept short contributions (with notfication one week after submisssion) until Februrary 27 based on avaliability of slots. However, please note that the ETAPS normal registration deadline is February 26. Invited Papers -------------- Samson Abramsky and Jonathan Zvesper.
