The IFIP WG 1.8 business meeting will also take place on the same day. We warmly encourage you to participate in both meetings. This year we inaugurate a new one-day format for the workshop, with both invited talks and short highlight talks. The invited speakers of TRENDS’17 are: - Marieke Huisman http://wwwhome.ewi.utwente.nl/~marieke/ <http://wwwhome.ewi.utwente.nl/%7Emarieke/> - Jan Peleska http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbs/jp/ For the highlights section, we solicit proposals for short presentations (ca. 10 - 15 min) of open and thought-provoking nature on all aspects of concurrency theory. You may upload your titles and abstracts for highlight presentations at the following URL: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wgtrends2017 The proposals are processed on a first-come first-served basis. If you have any questions, please contact one of the organisers: Ilaria Castellani <Ilaria.Castellani(a)inria.fr <mailto:Ilaria.Castellani@inria.fr>> Mohammad Mousavi <m.r.mousavi(a)hh.se <mailto:m.r.mousavi@hh.se>>

------------------------------------------------------ Combined 24th International Workshop on Expressiveness in Concurrency and 14th Workshop on Structural Operational Semantics EXPRESS/SOS 2017 ------------------------------------------------------ September 04, 2017, Berlin (Germany) Affiliated with CONCUR 2017 https://www.concur2017.tu-berlin.de/express_sos.html Submission of papers: Friday June 27, 2017 ------------------------------------------------------ NEWS: We are happy two announce an invited tutorial in addition to the already announced invited talk. Accordingly, we will welcome two invited speakers: Mohammad Mousavi and Rob van Glabbeek SCOPE AND TOPICS: The EXPRESS workshop series aims at bringing together researchers interested in the expressiveness of various formal systems and semantic notions, particularly in the field of concurrency. The SOS workshop series aims at being a forum for researchers, students and practitioners interested in new developments, and directions for future investigation, in the field of structural operational semantics. Since 2012, the EXPRESS and SOS communities have joined forces and organised a combined EXPRESS/SOS workshop on the formal semantics of systems and programming concepts, and on the expressiveness of mathematical models of computation. Topics of interest for this workshop include (but are not limited to): - expressiveness and comparison of models of computation (process algebras, event structures, Petri nets, rewrite systems) - expressiveness and comparison of programming models (distributed, component-based, object-oriented, service-oriented); - logics for concurrency (modal logics, probabilistic and stochastic logics, temporal logics and resource logics); - analysis techniques for concurrent systems; - theory of structural operational semantics (meta-theory, category-theoretic approaches, congruence results); - comparison of structural operational semantics to other formal semantics approaches - applications and case studies of structural operational semantics; - software tools that automate, or are based on, structural operational semantics. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: We solicit two types of submissions: * Full papers (up to 15 pages). * Short papers (up to 5 pages, not included in the workshop proceedings) Simultaneous submission to journals, conferences or other workshops is only allowed for short papers; full papers must be unpublished. All submissions should adhere to the EPTCS format (http://www.eptcs.org), and submission is performed through the EXPRESS/SOS 2017 EasyChair server (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=expresssos2017). The final versions of accepted full papers will be published in EPTCS.

12 Ph.D. Positions in Algorithms, Verification and Logic at RWTH Aachen

von Joost-Pieter Katoen

[Apologies for multiple postings.] ======================================================================= 12 Research Assistants/Associates in the post graduate program “Uncertainty and Randomness in Algorithms, Verification and Logic” at RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany ======================================================================= Context. The RWTH Aachen University is looking for enthusiastic and highly qualified doctoral researchers. 12 positions are available within the interdisciplinary Research Training Group (RTG) UnRAVeL founded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The key emphasis of an RTG is on the qualification of doctoral researchers with a focused research program and a structured training strategy. The RTG UnRAVeL aims to significantly advance probabilistic modelling and analysis for uncertainty by developing new theories, algorithms, and tool-supported verification techniques, and to apply them to core problems from security (e.g., probabilistic protocols), planning (robotics and railway engineering), and safety and performance analysis (railway systems). To tackle these research challenges, theoretical computer scientists from computer-aided verification, logic and games, algorithms and complexity, together with experts from management science (robust optimization), applied computer science (robotics and security), and railway engineering intensively cooperate within the RTG UnRAVeL. Required profile. Candidates must have (or soon obtain) a master degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or related area and have completed their studies with excellent grades. You should have interest in performing original, highly competitive scientific research, publishing your results in top conferences and scientific journals. Self-motivation and the ability to work both independently and as a team player in local and international research groups are expected. Fluency in English is required; proficiency in German is helpful but not compulsory. How to apply? Your written application should contain: - a curriculum vitae - a transcript of records (list of courses and grades) - a cover letter including a statement of interest in (some of) the RTG topics that can be found on our web-site (see below), and - a recommendation letter e.g., by your master thesis supervisor(s). All documents should be formatted as a single pdf-file. You should send your application ultimately by ** July 14, 2017 (AoE) ** to the e-mail address: unravel-appl(a)cs.rwth-aachen.de What do we offer? We offer a stimulating international research environment, the possibility to participate in highly competitive and interdisciplinary research and the opportunity to involve students in your research through project work. Doctoral researchers have a status as employee with a salary according to the German federal employee scale TV-L E13; the exact salary is subject to your family situation. The duration of the positions is three years. RWTH Aachen University offers excellent facilities for professional and personal development. Starting date of the positions: as soon as possible from October 1, 2017 on. More information about the RTG UnRAVeL can be found at: https://moves.rwth-aachen.de/research/projects/unravel/ Enquiries can be directed to Prof. Joost-Pieter Katoen (e-mail: katoen(a)cs.rwth-aachen.de). RWTH Aachen University is certified as a “Family-Friendly University”. We particularly welcome and encourage applications from women, disabled persons and ethnic minority groups, recognizing they are underrepresented across RWTH Aachen University. The principles of fair and open competition apply and appointments will be made on merit.
