FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS CONCUR 2000 11th International Conference on Concurrency Theory State College, Pennsylvania, August 22-25, 2000 URL http://www.cse.psu.edu/concur2000/ E-mail concur2000@cse.psu.edu (apologies for multiple copies) SCOPE The purpose of the CONCUR conferences is to bring together researchers, developers and students in order to advance the theory of concurrency, and promote its applications. Interest in this topic is continuously growing, as a consequence of the importance and ubiquity of concurrent systems and their applications, and of the scientific relevance of their foundations. Submissions are solicited in all areas of semantics, logics and verification techniques for concurrent systems. Topics include (but are not limited to) concurrency related aspects of: models of computation and semantic domains, process algebras, Petri nets, event structures, real-time systems, hybrid systems, decidability, model-checking, verification techniques, refinement techniques, term and graph rewriting, distributed programming, logic constraint programming, object-oriented programming, typing systems and algorithms, case studies, tools and environments for programming and verification.
