2nd Call for Papers

DCM 2012
8th International Workshop on Developments in Computational Models
A satellite workshop of CiE 2012
Sunday, 17 June 2012; Corpus Christi College; Cambridge, England
http://www.math.uni-hamburg.de/home/loewe/DCM2012/

Several new models of computation have emerged in the last few years, and 
many developments of traditional computational models have been proposed 
with the aim of taking into account the new demands of computer systems 
users and the new capabilities of computation engines. The aim of the 
workshop series Developments in Computational Models is to bring together 
researchers who are currently developing new computational models or new 
features for traditional computational models, in order to foster their 
interaction, to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work in 
progress, and to enable newcomers to learn about current activities in 
this area.

DCM 2012 is part of the celebrations of the Turing Centenary and is a 
satellite event of the conference Computability in Europe. It will take 
place on 17 June, the day before the Bletchley Park excursion of CiE 2012. 
All participants of CiE 2012 and researchers interested in new models of 
computation in general are cordially invited to submit a paper to DCM 
2012.

Topics of interest include all abstract models of computation and their 
properties, and their applications to the development of programming 
languages and systems:

   (*) quantum computation, including implementations and formal methods in 
quantum protocols;

   (*) probabilistic computation and verification in modeling situations;

   (*) chemical, biological and bio-inspired computation, including spatial 
models, self-assembly, growth models;

   (*) general concurrent models including the treatment of mobility, 
trust, and security;

   (*) information-theoretic ideas in computing;

   (*) infinitary models of computation;

   (*) comparisons of different models of computations.

We are inviting all active researchers to submit papers to DCM 2012. The 
proceedings will be published electronically in the series "Electronic 
Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science" (EPTCS) as post-proceedings 
after the workshop.

Only original papers will be considered: manuscripts are accepted for 
review with the understanding that the same work has not been published, 
nor is presently submitted, elsewhere. All papers have to be prepared 
using the EPTCS macro package which can be downloaded here: 
http://style.eptcs.org/. Papers can have up to 12 pages in EPTCS style.

Papers are submitted via our easychair site

   https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dcm2012

in PDF format before the deadline of 15 April 2012.
