Much normal software, including applications and system-level services, will soon need to make effective use of thousands of computing nodes. At some level of granularity, computation in such systems will be inherently concurrent and communication-centred. To exploit and harness the richness of this computing environment, designers and programmers will utilise a rich variety of programming paradigms, depending on the shape of the data and control flow. Plausible candidates for such paradigms include structured imperative concurrent programming, stream-based programming, concurrent functions with asynchronous message passing, higher-order types for events, and the use of types for communications and data structures (such as session types and linear types), to name but a few. Combinations of these abstractions will be used even in a single application, and the runtime environment needs to ensure seamless execution without relying on differences in available resources such as the number of cores. The development of effective programming methodologies for the coming computing paradigm demands exploration and understanding of a wide variety of ideas and techniques. This workshop aims to offer a forum where researchers from different fields exchange new ideas on one of the central challenges for programming in the near future, the development of programming methodologies and infrastructures where concurrency and distribution are the norm rather than a marginal concern. Topics of Interest Submissions are invited in the general area of foundations of programming languages for concurrency, communication and distribution. Specific topics include: language design and implementations for communications and/or concurrency, program analysis, session types, multicore programming, use of message passing in systems software, interface languages for communication and distribution, concurrent data types, concurrent objects and actors, web services, novel programming methodologies for sensor networks, integration of sequential and concurrent programming, high-level programming abstractions for security concerns in concurrent, distributed programming, and runtime architectures for concurrency, scalability and/or resource allocations.
