    Workshop on Distributed Systems

    WDS is a satellite workshop of FCT'99 (12th International Symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory), Aug. 30 - Sept. 2 1999, Iasi, Romania.

    Topics:

    Papers presenting new results in all areas of formal methods applied to distributed systems are welcome. Special topics of interests are: action calculi, Chu spaces, coalgebraic methods, concurrency theory, data-flow networks, interaction categories, linear logic based models, mixed control and data-flow models, mobile networks, Petri nets, process algebra and related calculi, reactive and real-time systems, etc.
