Communicating Process Architectures 2017

Communicating Process Architectures 2017, the 39th. WoTUG conference on concurrent and parallel systems, takes place from Sunday August 20th. to Wednesday August 23rd. 2017 and is hosted by Kevin Vella, Head of Department in Computer Science at the University of Malta. Conference sessions will take place at the Victoria Hotel in Sliema, Malta.

For information on CPA's areas of interest, please see the Call for Papers. All submissions will be refereed by an international panel of academic and industrial reviewers, with extensive feedback given to authors. The Proceedings of CPA 2017 will be published by IOS Press in their Concurrent Systems Engineering Series.

CPA runs in a single track over two and a half days, with space for approximately 20 half-hour presentations. In addition, two evening Fringe sessions provide a forum for presenting and discussing new ideas and/or work in progress. We are also calling for mini-workshop proposals, following their successful introduction in 2014 and use in 2015 and 2016. A limited number of bursaries will be available to support PhD students attending the conference – details are on the registration page.

For details on the conference venue and accommodation, see Location.

Important dates

The CPA Conference Series

WoTUG provides a forum for the discussion and promotion of concurrency in computer science, organising an annual conference and specialist workshops. CPA 2017 is the seventeenth conference under the name of Communicating Process Architectures, and the thirty-nineth in this series of WoTUG conferences.

The primary theme of the CPA conference series is concurrency — at all levels of granularity, in both software and hardware. The CPA conference series aims to bridge the gap between the mathematical theory of concurrency, using process algebras such as CSP to model and analyse complex concurrent systems, and the practice of parallel software engineering, building efficient, reliable software for embedded, multicore and distributed computing systems.

See the conference pages for links to the web pages for conferences in this series back to 1991. Papers from the Proceedings are archived in the WoTUG Paper Database.
