BIOCICONPet 2013 - 34th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON APPLICATION AND THEORY OF PETRI NETS AND CONCURRENCY

The 34th annual international Petri Net conference will be organised by the Department of Computer Science, Systems and Communication (DISCo), University of Milano - Bicocca. The conference takes place under the auspices of the Academia Europaea, EATCS, and GI SIG "Petri Nets and Related System Models". The language of the conference is English, and its proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science. All accepted papers will be considered for the "Outstanding Paper" award(s). Papers presenting original research on application or theory of Petri nets, as well as contributions addressing topics relevant to the general field of distributed and concurrent systems are sought.

Paper Submissions
Two kinds of papers can be submitted:
regular papers (max 20 pages) describing original results pertaining to the development of the theory of Petri Nets and distributed and concurrent systems in general, new results extending the applicability of Petri Nets, or case studies, application and experience reports pertinent to the practical use of Petri Nets and concurrency. For papers describing the experiences from applications of Petri Nets, authors are encouraged to consult the document: ApplicationFormat.pdf.
tool papers (max 10 pages) describing a computer tool based on Petri Nets (not an application of the tool or the theory behind the tool). For more information, please see the document: ToolFormat.pdf. The tool should be available for use by other groups (but not necessarily for free). The submission should indicate how the reviewers can get access to the tool (this must be for free). The tool will be demonstrated in the Tool Exhibition, in addition to being presented in a conference talk.
Submitted papers must:
be contributions that have neither already been published nor are simultaneously being considered for publication in a peer-reviewed forum;
clearly state the problem being addressed, the goal of the work, the results achieved, and the relation to other work;
be in English and in the Springer LNCS-format:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html;
adhere to the page limit for the relevant category (see above);
be sent electronically (as a PDF file) no later than the above mentioned deadlines, using the website
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=petrine....
The title page must:
contain a short abstract and a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above;
clearly indicate whether the paper is submitted as a regular paper or tool paper.
