Communicating Process Architectures 2014

Communicating Process Architectures 2014, the 36th WoTUG conference on concurrent and parallel systems, takes place from Sunday August 24th to Wednesday August 27th 2014 and is hosted by the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford. Accommodation and evening Fringe sessions will be at St. Anne's College, a few minutes walk from the Department.

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 2014 will be published by Open Channel Publishing Ltd.

CPA runs in a single track over two days, with space for approximately 25 half-hour presentations. In addition, two evening Fringe sessions provide a forum for presenting and discussing new ideas and/or work in progress. The conference registration fee will be approximately £330 covering admission to all sessions, one copy of the Proceedings, coffee/tea breaks, lunches and evening meals (including the conference dinner). En-suite accommodation and breakfasts (three nights) will be bookable separately at St. Anne's College (£70 per night). A limited number of bursaries will be available to support PhD students attending the conference – details will be given on the registration page nearer the time.

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 2014 is the fourteenth conference under the name of Communicating Process Architectures, and the thirty-sixth 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.
