Coalgebra is developing into a field of its own interest presenting a deep mathematical foundation, a growing field of applications and interactions with various other fields such as reactive and interactive system theory, object oriented and concurrent programming, formal system specification, modal logic, dynamical systems, control systems, category theory, algebra, analysis, etc. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers with a common interest in the theory of coalgebras and its applications. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: the theory of coalgebras (including set theoretic and categorical approaches); coalgebras as computational and semantical models (for programming languages, dynamical systems, etc.); coalgebras in (functional, object-oriented, concurrent) programming; coalgebras and data types; (coinductive) definition and proof principles for coalgebras (with bisimulations or invariants); coalgebras and algebras; coalgebraic specification and verification; coalgebras and (modal) logic; coalgebra and control theory (notably of discrete event and hybrid systems). The workshop will provide an opportunity to present recent and ongoing work, to meet colleagues, and to discuss new ideas and future trends. Previous workshops of the same series have been organized in Lisbon, Amsterdam, Berlin, Genova, Grenoble, Warsaw and Barcelona. The proceedings appeared as Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) Volumes 11,19, 33, 41, 65.1, 82.1 and 106. You can get an idea of the types of papers presented at the meeting by looking at the tables of contents of the ENTCS volumes from those workshops ENTCS Location CMCS 2006 will be held in Vienna on March 25-27, 2006. It will be a satellite workshop of ETAPS 2006, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. Programme Committee John Power (chair,Edinburgh), Luis Barbosa (Minho), Neil Ghani (Nottingham), H. Peter Gumm (Marburg), Marina Lenisa (Udine), Stefan Milius (Braunschweig), Larry Moss (Bloomington), Jan Rutten (Amsterdam), Hendrik Tews (Dresden), Tarmo Uustalu (Tallinn), Hiroshi Watanabe (Osaka). Keynote Speaker: Peter O'Hearn (Queen Mary, University of London) Invited Speakers: Corina Cirstea (University of Southampton) Alexander Kurz (University of Leicester) Submissions Two sorts of submissions will be possible this year: Papers to be evaluated by the programme committee for inclusion in the ENTCS proceedings: These papers must be written using ENTCS style files and be of length no greater than 20 pages. They must contain original contributions, be clearly written, and include appropriate reference to and comparison with related work. If a submission describes software, software tools, or their use, it should include all source code that is needed to reproduce the results but is not publicly available. If the additional material exceeds 5 MB, URL's of publicly available sites should be provided in the paper. Short contributions: These will not be published but will be compiled into a technical report of the University of Nottingham. They should be no more than two pages and may describe work in progress, summarise work submitted to a conference or workshop elsewhere, or in some other way appeal to the CMCS audience. Both sorts of submission should be submitted in postscript or pdf form as attachments to an email to cmcs06@cs.nott.ac.uk. The email should include the title, corresponding author, and, for the first kind of submission, a text-only one-page abstract. After the workshop, we expect to produce a journal proceedings of extended versions of selected papers to appear in Theoretical Computer Science. Important Dates Deadline for submission of regular papers: January 8, 2006. Notification of acceptance of regular papers: February 6, 2006. Final version for the preliminary proceedings: February 13, 2006. Deadline for submission of short contributions: February 28, 2006. Notification of acceptance of short contributions: March 6, 2006.
