----------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers Workshop on Logics for Resources, Processes and Programs (LRPP 2013) 16 September 2013, Nancy, France (affiliated with Tableaux 2013, Nancy, France) http://www.loria.fr/~galmiche/LRPP2013.html Deadline: June 24, 2013 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A one day workshop on `Logics for Resources, Processes, and Programs' will be held the 16th September 2013 in conjunction with the Tableaux Conference in Nancy, France, with D. Galmiche and D. Pym as co-chairs. The purpose of this workshop would be to discuss recent results on logics, including systems formulated in the style of Hoare and Hennessy-Milner, for modelling resources, processes, programs, and their interactions. We envisage a range of perspectives: proof-theoretic foundations, including decidability and complexity; semantic foundations (e.g., new resource semantics); specification of properties and behaviours; verification and analysis of programs and systems. It should help to establish and publicize a research agenda for such logics and their use in the development of trusted systems. The workshop is intended to provide a forum for discussion between researchers interested in logics of resources (from foundations to related calculi and applications) and researchers interested in languages and methods for specification of mobile, distributed, concurrent systems and their verification. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following: - Logics for resources: semantics, model theory and proof theory; - Process calculi, concurrency, and resource-distribution; - Reasoning about programs and systems; - Extensions of logics; e.g., with modalities; - Languages of assertions, languages based on resource logics (query languages, pointers, trees, and graphs); - Theorem proving and model checking in resource logics: decision procedures, strategies, complexity results. SUBMISSIONS Researchers interested in presenting their works are invited to send an extended abstract (up to 10 pages) by e-mail submissions of PDF files to D. Galmiche (Didier.Galmiche@loria.fr) and D. Pym (d.j.pym@abdn.ac.uk) by June 24, 2013. Papers will be reviewed by peers, typically members of the Programme Committee. Additional information will be available through WWW address: http://www.loria.fr/~galmiche/LRPP2013.html. Hardcopies of the preliminary proceedings will be distributed at the workshop and a Special Issue of a Journal on these topics is expected after the workshop. PROGRAM COMMITTEE J.
