PFM 01: CALL for PARTICIPATION

[various techniques discussed in the workshop make use of types] 

              PFM 01 
     Proofs For Mobility Workshop
      http://www.pfm2001.ens.fr/

  Genova (Italy), Saturday April 7, 2001
     Held in conjunction with ETAPS 01


Purpose and Scope
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mobility in networks and distributed systems is attracting an ever
growing interest. A number of models and analysis techniques for
proving properties of mobile systems are being researched these
days. These are based on algebra, modal logics, types, abstract
interpretation, control-flow analysis, behavioural equivalences,
co-induction, theorem provers, etc.

Reports on such work are scattered around in several workshops and
conferences together with other work on mobile systems. This workshop
intends to offer a unifying forum for comparison of techniques and
presentation of experience reports on proofs. We aim to bring together
theoretically oriented and practicallly oriented researcher and
discuss questions such as `What proof techniques are available?',
`What has been achieved so far?', `What are the challenges?'

Registration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Registration costs 45 euros (5 euros for attending the workshop, 40
euros for lunch and coffee/tea breaks).  It is possible to participate
to PFM without registering at ETAPS; in this case a 70 euro surcharge
applies.  It is also possible to register at PFM and another parallel
event; in this case the 40 euros for of lunches and coffee breaks are
of course paid only once.
