The workshop will be held in conjunction with the
11th European Joint Conferences on
Theory and Practice of Software
Budapest, Hungary
March 29 - April 6, 2008
Aims and Scope
During the last few years, it has
become increasingly clear that a great variety of state-based dynamical
systems, like transition systems, automata, process calculi and class-based
systems, can be captured uniformly as coalgebras. 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, Barcelona and Vienna.
The proceedings appeared as Electronic Notes in
Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) Volumes 11,19, 33, 41, 65.1, 82.1,
106 and 164.1.
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.
Location
CMCS 2008 will be held in
Budapest
on April 4-6, 2008. It will be a satellite workshop of ETAPS 2008,
the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software.

accomodation and the conference location please have a look

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 Technical University of Braunschweig. 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
cmcs08@cwi.nl. 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.
