Accordingly, we will welcome two invited speakers: Mohammad Mousavi and Rob van Glabbeek SCOPE AND TOPICS: The EXPRESS workshop series aims at bringing together researchers interested in the expressiveness of various formal systems and semantic notions, particularly in the field of concurrency. The SOS workshop series aims at being a forum for researchers, students and practitioners interested in new developments, and directions for future investigation, in the field of structural operational semantics.

It will be co-located with the 14th International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems (QEST 2017), the 15th International Conference on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems (FORMATS 2017), and the 14th European Performance Engineering Workshop (EPEW 2017). Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit proposals for workshops to be affiliated to CONCUR 2017, on topics related to concurrency theory and its applications. Example topics include: semantics, logics, verification techniques for concurrent systems, cross-fertilization between industry and academia and opportunities for young and prospective researchers. Past CONCUR conferences have been accompanied by successful workshops on a variety of topics, such as formal and foundational methods, models of systems (biological, timed), security issues, semantical issues, and verification methods. You can have an idea of the past workshops by browsing the pages of the past editions of CONCUR. The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application. The workshops take place on Monday, September 4th and Saturday, September 9th, 2017. Proposals should include: * The name and the preferred date of the proposed workshop (Sept. 4th or 9th). * A short description of the workshop (500 words max). * If applicable, a description of past versions of the workshop, including dates, organizers, submission and acceptance counts, and attendance. * The expected number of participants. * The name and short CV of the organizer(s). * The publication plan (only invited speakers, no published proceedings, pre-/post-proceedings published with EPTCS/ENTCS/...). The CONCUR organization offers: * Link from the CONCUR web site. * Setup of meeting space, and related equipment. * Coffee-breaks. * On-line and on-site registration to the workshop. * One free workshop registration (for an invited speaker). The main responsibility of organizing a workshop goes to the workshop chairperson(s), including: * Workshop publicity (possibly including call for papers, submission and review process). * Scheduling workshop activities in collaboration with the CONCUR workshop chairs. IMPORTANT DATES Submission of workshop proposals: by January 27th, 2017 Notification: by February 3rd, 2017 SUBMISSION TO: Kirstin Peters (kirstin.pet...@tu-berlin.de) For more information, please contact me via email (kirstin.pet...@tu-berlin.de) The CONCUR 2017 workshop chair, Kirstin Peters https://kirstin-peters.de/ Technische Universität Berlin smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Hosting and maintaining web pages either on the DisCoTec website or linked from it. 3. Editing workshop proceedings, if any. 4. Publicising the event. * Budget * DisCoTec will provide registration and organizational support for the workshops. Registration fees must be paid for all participants, including organizers and invited guests. To cover lunches, coffee breaks and basic organizational expenses, all workshops will be required to charge a minimum participation fee (the precise amount is still to be determined). Each workshop may increase this fee to cover additional expenses such as publication charges, student scholarships, costs for invited speakers, etc. All fees will be collected by the DisCoTec organizers as part of the registration and will be used to cover the expenses of each workshop as agreed with the workshop organizers. * Contact Information * Kirstin Peters (kirstin.peters AT tu-berlin.de)
