CfP: CONCUR 2026 – International Conference on Concurrency Theory, 1–4 September 2026, Liverpool (UK)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When: 1 4 September, 2026
Where: Liverpool, UK
Web: https://confest-2026.github.io/concur
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR) brings together
researchers, developers, and students in order to advance the theory of
concurrency and promote its applications. CONCUR solicits high quality papers
reporting research results and/or experience related to semantics, logics,
verification and analysis of concurrent systems.
The 2026 edition will be co-located with QEST+FORMATS, FMICS and a number of
workshops under the joint name CONFEST 2026, which will take place September
1-5, 2026 at the University of Liverpool, UK.

Topics
Submissions are solicited in the theory and practice of concurrent systems.
The principal topics include (but are not limited to):
- Basic models of concurrency such as abstract machines, domain-theoretic
models, categorical and coalgebraic models, game-theoretic models,
parametric models, process algebras, graph transformation systems, Petri
nets, hybrid systems, mobile and collaborative systems, probabilistic
systems, real-time systems, quantum systems, biology-inspired systems, and
synchronous systems;
- Logics for concurrency such as modal logics, program logics, probabilistic
and stochastic logics, temporal logics, multi-agent logics, and resource
logics;
- Verification and analysis techniques for concurrent systems such as
abstract interpretation, atomicity checking, model checking, race
detection, pre-order and equivalence checking, run-time verification,
state-space exploration, static analysis, synthesis, testing, theorem
proving, type systems, and security analysis;
- Distributed/parallel algorithms and concurrent data structures: design,
analysis, complexity, correctness, fault tolerance, reliability,
availability, consistency, self-organization, self-stabilization,
commitment schemes, communication protocols;
- Theoretical foundations, tools, and empirical evaluations of
architectures, execution environments, and software development for
concurrent systems such as geo-replicated systems, distributed ledgers,
communication networks, multiprocessor and multi-core architectures,
quantum computing, quantum communication, shared and transactional memory,
resource management and awareness, compilers and tools for concurrent
programming, programming models such as component-based, object- and
service-oriented.
Paper submission
- All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for
publication elsewhere.
- Each paper will undergo a thorough review process.
- Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=concur2026).
- Proceedings will be published by LIPIcs; please use their style files
(https://drops.dagstuhl.de/entities/series/LIPIcs#author) when preparing
your submission.
- Submissions follow a single-blind process.
- Papers must not exceed 15 pages (excluding references and appendices,
LIPIcs style)
- An appendix may provide additional material and proofs, but should not be
expected to be scrutinized by the reviewers and will not be published in
the proceedings.
Special Issue
A special issue dedicated to selected papers from CONCUR2026 will appear in
Logical Methods in Computer Science.
Awards
There will be a CONCUR Test-of-Time award, Best Paper award, and Best Student
Paper award in 2026. The winners will be announced at the conference.
