TOPICS
Submissions are solicited in semantics, logics, verification and
analysis of concurrent systems. The principal topics include (but are
not limited to):

* Basic models of concurrency such as abstract machines,
   domain-theoretic models, game-theoretic models, process algebras,
   graph transformation systems, Petri nets, hybrid systems, mobile and
   collaborative systems, probabilistic systems, real-time systems,
   biology-inspired systems, and synchronous systems;
* Logics for concurrency such as modal logics, probabilistic and
   stochastic logics, temporal logics, and resource logics;
* Verification and analysis techniques for concurrent systems such as
   abstract interpretation, atomicity checking, model checking, race
   detection, pre-order and equivalence checking, run-time
   verification, state-space exploration, static analysis, synthesis,
   testing, theorem proving, type systems, and security analysis;
* Distributed algorithms and data structures: design, analysis,
   complexity, correctness, fault tolerance, reliability, availability,
   consistency, self-organization, self-stabilization, protocols.
* Theoretical foundations of architectures, execution environments,
   and software development for concurrent systems such as
   geo-replicated systems, communication networks, multiprocessor and
   multi-core architectures, shared and transactional memory, resource
   management and awareness, compilers and tools for concurrent
   programming, programming models such as component-based, object- and
   service-oriented.


PAPER SUBMISSION
CONCUR 2018 solicits high quality papers reporting research results
and/or experience related to the topics mentioned below. All papers
must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication
elsewhere.

Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. If necessary, the
paper may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will
be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee.

The CONCUR 2018 proceedings will be published by LIPIcs.

Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files via EasyChair.

Papers must not exceed 14 pages (excluding references and clearly marked 
appendices) using the LIPIcs style.

Extended versions of selected papers will appear in a special issue of
the Journal of Computer and System Sciences (JCSS).
