Aims and Scope

 The growing diffusion of internet services and applications is
 promoting global computing as an emerging model of computation. Based
 on mobility of code and computation on networks with highly dynamic
 topologies, the model needs effective infrastructures to support the
 coordination and control of components loaded at runtime from
 untrusted sources, as well as semantic frameworks to reason on the
 behaviour and properties of applications. 

 Foundations of Wide Area Network Computing focuses on semantics
 aspects of global computing, and invites submissions of original
 scientific work thereof. A non-exclusive list of topics includes:
 calculi, models, and semantic theories of concurrent, distributed,
 mobile, global-computingsystems; languages, security and types for
 global computing. 

 The workshop proceedings will be published in the ENTCS series and a
 selection of papers will appear in a special issue of the Journal of
 Theoretical Computer Science. It will be held as a ICALP2002 satellite
 event under the auspices of the EATCS.
