              Call For Papers

4th International Workshop on High-Level Concurrent Languages
         Montreal, Canada,  September 20, 2000
  Affiliated with PLI 2000, September 18 - 23, 2000

Scope           

  This workshop, a continuation of three previous meetings, is intended
  to bring together active researchers involved in the design,
  development, foundations, and  applications of high-level concurrent
  (and distributed) programming languages and models. 

  The theme of the workshop is that such programming models should be
  simple, practical, high-level, and well-founded. These qualities allow
  rigorous language specifications and support both formal and informal
  reasoning about programs. For concurrent and distributed systems,
  research on programming models has driven the design of several recent
  programming languages including Erlang, CML, Facile, and Haskell, as
  well as languages explicitly designed for concurrency or distribution
  such as HACL, JoCaml, Obliq, Oz, (Nomadic) Pict, and TyCO.  Although
  the motivations behind the design of these languages are diverse
  (ranging from the development of graphical user interfaces and
  multi-agent systems to constraint, real-time, and distributed
  programming), suitable foundations have turned out to be quite similar
  in style and technique, often based on variants of well-known calculi
  for mobile processes.
