DCM 2013 - 9th International Workshop on Developments in Computational Models

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. A new computational model, or a new feature in a traditional one, usually is reflected in a new family of programming languages, and new paradigms of software development.
The aim of this workshop 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 2013 will be a one-day satellite event of CONCUR 2013. This is the 9th event in the series since 2005 - see the DCM website for details of previous events.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include all abstract models of computation and their applications to the development of programming languages and systems. This includes (but is not limited to):
Functional calculi: lambda-calculus, rho-calculus, term and graph rewriting;
quantum computation, including implementations and formal methods in quantum protocols;
probabilistic computation and verification in modelling 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;
infinitary models of computation;
information-theoretic ideas in computing.
