*Call for Affiliated Workshops*

Conference Dates:  September 1-4, 2009
Affiliated Workshop Dates:  August 31, 2009 and September 5, 2009

The 20th Conference on Concurrency Theory will be held this coming
summer in Bologna, Italy, and will be co-locate with the
7th Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology (CMSB) and
the 6th International Workshop on Web Service and Formal Methods
(WS-FM).

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit proposals for
workshops on topics related to concurrency theory and its applications.
Example topics include, semantics, logics, verification techniques
for concurrent systems, and cross-fertilization between industry and
academia. Past CONCUR conferences have been accompanied by successful
workshops on a variety of topics, like formal and foundational methods,
models of systems (biological, timed), security issues, semantical
issues, and verification methods.

The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly,
interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their
application.

Proposals should include:

* The name and the preferred date of the proposed workshop.
* A very brief cv of the chairperson(s) or a link to some web page
including such information.
* A short scientific summary of the topic, its scope and significance
(and possibly a description of past versions of the workshop, including,
e.g., dates, organizers, submission and acceptance counts, and
attendance).
* Procedures for selecting papers, plans for dissemination (for example,
proceedings and special issues of journals), and the expected number of
participants.

Important Dates:

Workshop proposals due November 15th, 2008.
Notification of acceptance: December 1st, 2008.
