The ubiquity of the Internet allows distributed software components to be composed into complex networked systems. At the other end of the spectrum, with multicore processors now the norm, concurrency is frequently necessary to maximize application performance. Coordination 2009 seeks high-quality papers on programming languages, models, and architectures that address the challenge of building robust distributed and concurrent applications. The conference focuses on the design and implementation of models that allow compositional construction of large-scale concurrent and distributed systems, including both practical and foundational models, runtime systems, and related verification and analysis techniques. Topics of Interest DISTRIBUTED AND CONCURRENT PROGRAMMING MODELS: multicore programming, stream programming, data parallel programming, event-driven programming, web programming FOUNDATIONS OF DISTRIBUTED AND CONCURRENT INTERACTION: models for processes, service composition and orchestration, workflow management, data query, tuple spaces SPECIFICATION, VERIFICATION, AND TYPES: modeling and analysis of types and properties related to security, dependability, resource consumption, and component conformance for concurrent and distributed systems HIGH-LEVEL OPTIMIZATIONS: program transformations for performance enhancement, runtime load balancing techniques, static and dynamic resource management QUALITY OF SERVICE: fault-tolerant programming models and runtime support, models with responsiveness guarantees DISTRIBUTED SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT: component and module systems for distributed software, dynamic software evolution and update technologies, configuration and deployment architectures SYSTEM SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMMING MODELS: P2P frameworks, mobile ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, publish-subscribe systems, event processing CASE STUDIES: application of novel distributed and concurrent techniques in business process modeling, e-commerce, factory automation, collaboration, command and control - Submission Guidelines The Coordination 2009 conference solicits high quality papers reporting research results and/or experience reports related to the topics mentioned above. All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Contributions should be submitted electronically as postscript or PDF, using the SPRINGER LNCS style. Papers should not exceed 15 pages in length. Each paper will undergo a thorough process of review and the conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Proceedings will be made available at the conference. Selected papers will be invited to a special issue of the journal Science of Computer Programming - Coordination '09 Organization PC Chairs: John Field, IBM Research, USA Vasco T.

For the benefit of reviewers, additional material may be provided by a clearly marked appendix or a reference to a manuscript on a website. It is at the discretion of the reviewers whether such supplements will be considered. All regular papers will be evaluated according to the highest standards in terms of originality, significance, technical quality, and readability. Submissions must be in English and standard conforming pdf format. Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors are strongly encouraged to produce their papers in LaTeX. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files can be obtained via http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Previous meetings took place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006), Siena (2007) and Athens (2008). TUTORIALS: Pavel Pudlak, Luca Trevisan. INVITED SPEAKERS: Manindra Agrawal, Jeremy Avigad, Phokion Kolaitis, Peter Koepke, Andrea Sorbi, Rafael D. Sorkin, Vijay Vazirani. SPECIAL SESSIONS on Algorithmic Randomness (E. Mayordomo, W. Merkle), Computational Model Theory (J. Knight, A. Morozov), Computation in Biological Systems - Theory and Practice (A. Carbone, E. Csuhaj-Varju), Optimization and Approximation (M. Halldorsson, G. Reinelt), Philosophical and Mathematical Aspects of Hypercomputation (J. Ladyman, P. Welch), Relative Computability (R. Downey, A.

Romero-Campero, Richard Shore, Nikolai Vereshchagin, David Westhead. CiE 2009 has a broad scope and bridges the gap from the theoretical methods of mathematical and meta-mathematical flavour to the applied and industrial questions of computational practice. The conference aims to bring together researchers who want to explore the historical and philosophical aspects of the field. We particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts of the research community. Since women are underrepresented in mathematics and computer science, we emphatically encourage submissions by female authors. The Elsevier Foundation is supporting the CiE conference series in the programme Increasing representation of female researchers in the computability community. This programme will allow us to fund child-care support, a mentoring system for young female researchers, and also a small number of grants for female researchers, covering their registration fees. The dates around the submission process are as follows: Submission Deadline: 20 January 2009 Notification of Authors: 16 March 2009 Deadline for Final Version: 17 April 2009 CiE 2009 conference topics include, but not exclusively: * Admissible sets * Analog computation * Artificial intelligence * Automata theory * Classical computability and degree structures * Computability theoretic aspects of programs * Computable analysis and real computation * Computable structures and models * Computational and proof complexity * Computational complexity * Computational learning and complexity * Concurrency and distributed computation * Constructive mathematics * Cryptographic complexity * Decidability of theories * Derandomization * Domain theory and computability * Dynamical systems and computational models * Effective descriptive set theory * Finite model theory * Formal aspects of program analysis * Formal methods * Foundations of computer science * Games * Generalized recursion theory * History of computation * Hybrid systems * Higher type computability * Hypercomputational models * Infinite time Turing machines * Kolmogorov complexity * Lambda and combinatory calculi * L-systems and membrane computation * Mathematical models of emergence * Molecular computation * Natural computing * Neural nets and connectionist models * Philosophy of science and computation * Physics and computability * Probabilistic systems * Process algebra * Programming language semantics * Proof mining * Proof theory and computability * Quantum computing and complexity * Randomness * Reducibilities and relative computation * Relativistic computation * Reverse mathematics * Swarm intelligence * Type systems and type theory * Uncertain reasoning * Weak arithmetics and applications Contributed papers will be selected from submissions received by the PROGRAMME COMMITTEE consisting of: Klaus Ambos-Spies (Heidelberg, co-chair), Giorgio Ausiello (Rome), Andrej Bauer (Ljubljana), Arnold Beckmann (Swansea), Olivier Bournez (Nancy), Vasco Brattka (Cape Town), Barry Cooper (Leeds), Anuj Dawar (Cambridge), Jacques Duparc (Lausanne),
