Coalgebra is developing 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 logic, dynamical systems, control systems, category theory, algebra, analysis, etc. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers with a common interest in the theory of coalgebras and its 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 semantical 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). The workshop will provide an opportunity to present recent and ongoing work, to meet colleagues, and to discuss new ideas and future trends. Previous workshops of the same series have been organized in Lisbon, Amsterdam, Berlin, Genova, Grenoble, and Warsaw. The proceedings appeared as "Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS)", Volumes 11, 19, 33, 41, 65.1 and 82.1. Selected papers have been/are being published in Theoretical Computer Science, Theoretical Informatics and Applications, and Mathematical Structures in Computer Science. You can get an idea of the types of papers presented at previous meetings by looking at the tables of content of the above ENTCS volumes from these meetings. They are available via the ENTCS page http://www.elsevier.nl/gej-ng/31/29/23/show/Products/notes/contents.htt PROGRAM COMMITTEE Jiri Adamek, chair (Braunschweig), Corina Cirstea (Southampton), H.

Nakagawa (Tokyo), Dirk Pattinson (Muenchen) Grigore Rosu (Urbana, ILL), Jan Rutten (Amsterdam), James Worrell (New Orleans). LOCATION CMCS 2004 will be held in Barcelona on March 27-29, 2004. It is a satellite workshop of ETAPS 20034, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. For venue, registration and suggested accommodation see the ETAPS 2004 Web page: http://www.lsi.upc.es/etaps04/ INVITED SEPAKERS Prakash Panangaden (McGill University, Montreal) Alex Simpson (University of Edinburgh) SUBMISSIONS Submissions will be evaluated by the Program Committee for inclusion in the proceedings, which will be published in the ENTCS series. Papers must contain original contribution, be clearly written, and include appropriate reference to and comparison with related work. Papers (of at most 15 pages) should be submitted electronically as PostScript files at the address J.Adamek@tu-bs.de. A separate message should also be sent, with a text-only one-page abstract and with mailing addresses (both postal and electronic), telephone number and fax number of the corresponding author.
