Call for Short Contributions and Participation 13th International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science (CMCS'16) 2 - 3 April 2016, Eindhoven, the Netherlands http://www.coalg.org/cmcs16 Objectives and scope ------------------- Established in 1998, the CMCS workshops aim to bring together researchers with a common interest in the theory of coalgebras, their logics, and their applications. As the workshop series strives to maintain breadth in its scope, areas of interest include neighbouring fields as well. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - The theory of coalgebras (including set theoretic and categorical approaches) - Coalgebras as computational and semantical models (for programming languages, dynamical systems, term rewriting, etc.) - Coalgebras in (functional, object-oriented, concurrent, and constraint) programming - Model checking, theorem proving and deductive verification using coalgebraic techniques - Coalgebraic data types, type systems and behavioural typing - Proof principles and (coinductive) definitions for coalgebras (e.g. 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) - Coalgebra in quantum computing - Coalgebra and game theory - Tools exploiting colgebraic techniques Venue and event --------------- CMCS'16 will be held in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, co-located with ETAPS 2016 on 2 - 3 April 2016. Important dates --------------- Submission short contributions 22 February 2016 Notification short contributions 6 March 2016 Submission guidelines --------------------- Short contributions may describe work in progress, or summarise work submitted to a conference or workshop elsewhere. They should be no more than two pages n Springer LNCS style. Short contributions should be submitted electronically as a PDF file via the Easychair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmcs2016. Accepted short contributions will be bundled in a technical report and presented at the workshop.
