DCM 2018
12th International Workshop on Developments in Computational Models
https://sites.google.com/g.uporto.pt/dcm18/
<https://sites.google.com/g.uporto.pt/dcm18/>
A satellite event of FLoC 2018, Oxford
July 8, 2018
========================================================================
Several new models of computation have emerged in the last years, and many
developments of traditional computation models have been proposed with the aim
of taking into account the new demands of users of computer systems and the new
capabilities of computation engines.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are currently
developing new computation models or new features for traditional computation
models, in order to foster their interaction, to provide a forum for presenting
new ideas and work in progress, and to enable newcomers to learn about current
activities in this area. The proceedings are produced after the meeting, so
that authors can incorporate the workshop feedback in the published papers.
DCM 2018 will take place in Oxford on July 8, as a one-day satellite event of
FLoC 2018. This will be the 12th event in the series since 2005 - see the DCM
website (http://dcm-workshop.org.uk/ <http://dcm-workshop.org.uk/>) for details
of previous events.
INVITED SPEAKERS
We are pleased to announce the two invited speakers of DCM'18:
* Ugo Dal Lago (University of Bologna)
* Delia Kesner (University Paris-Diderot)
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include all abstract models of computation and their
applications to the development of programming languages and systems. This
includes (but is not limited to):
* Functional calculi: lambda-calculus, pattern-calculi, combinatory logic,
term and graph rewriting;
* Object calculi;
* Interaction-based systems: interaction nets, games, agent and multi-agent
systems;
* Concurrent models: process calculi, action graphs, distributed systems;
* Calculi expressing locality, mobility, and active data;
* Quantum computational models;
* Biological or chemical models of computation;
SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Authors are invited to submit a short paper (max 8 pages). Preliminary
proceedings will be available at the workshop. Papers should be written in
English, and submitted in PostScript or PDF format, using the EPTCS style files
(http://style.eptcs.org/ <http://style.eptcs.org/>). Submission is through the
Easychair website.
