CPA 2011 Call for Papers

The theme of CPA 2011 is the theory and practice of concurrency. CPA 2011 seeks submissions of original papers presenting novel, interesting, useful and unpublished research (including ideas, accomplishments and products) in this realm. All submissions will be reviewed, with extensive feedback given to authors. Four weeks are allowed between notification of acceptance and delivery of final CRC to enable proper reflection and reaction to reviewer feedback. Each accepted paper will be allocated a specific editor, who will monitor this process rigorously.

Conference themes are outlined on the home page. Specific areas include, but are not limited to:

• theoretical approaches to concurrency, and formal languages supporting these approaches, including the integration of existing formal notations;
• modelling of, and model-driven development of concurrent software architectures;
• verification and analysis of concurrent systems;
• model-checking techniques and tools for development and analysis;
• theoretical approaches to hardware-software co-design;
• tools and languages for hardware-software co-design;
• verification and analysis of hardware-software co-design systems;
• programming languages and environments for concurrent systems;
• environments for distributed applications, such as grid applications;
• hardware and machine architectures such as multiprocessor cores and instruction set design;
• reconfigurable computing, and tools relating to reconfigurable computing;
• programming and implementation issues for concurrent languages;
such as deadlock-freedom by design, starvation, and efficient inter-process communication architectures;
• system issues for programming languages supporting concurrency, such as multithreading kernels and interrupt architectures;
• applications that exploit, or rely on, concurrency.

Submission Mechanism

For instructions regarding the format for submitted papers and details of the submission process, please see the information for authors.

CPA Proceedings

The CPA proceedings will be published by IOS Press, as part of their Concurrent Systems Engineering Series. Under the IOS Press Author Copyright Agreement, copyright of published material remains with the original authors. This makes CPA an ideal venue for presenting research that will be suitable for developing into later journal publication.
