-- 2nd Call for Workshop Proposals --
*Submission deadline* : Feb 02
CONFEST is an umbrella conference comprising four international meetings:
- CONCUR (34th International Conference on Concurrency Theory),
- QEST (20th International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems),
- FORMATS (21st International Conference on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems), and
- FMICS (28th International Conference on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems).
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit proposals for ONE DAY
workshops on topics related to theory, formal modeling, verification, performance evaluation and engineering of concurrent, timed, industrial, and other systems.
Typically, CONFEST workshops feature a number of invited speakers and a number of contributed presentations.
The workshops will take place one day before (18 September) and one day after (23 September) the main conferences.
TOPICS
The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, stimulating, and interactive atmosphere for
- presenting novel ideas,
- discussing their applications,
- encouraging cross-fertilization between industry and academia, and
- fostering opportunities for young and prospective researchers.
ORGANIZATION
CONFEST’23 is planned as a physical, in-person event, with some support for remote participation.
In a limited number of cases, there will be remote-participation support for speakers and for other
participants who are unable to come. Please take this into account when preparing a workshop
proposal and communicate to participants requiring such support that they should contact the
organisers of CONFEST explaining their case.
We will provide the following to workshop organisers:
- Meeting rooms on demand
- Coffee breaks, catering for lunch, both are included
- CONFEST'23 website cannot be made accessible for edits by third parties
but workshop organisers can either host their own website and provide a link to it
that we put on CONFEST website, or they send us their content and we put it in the website.
- Registration will be centralized by CONFEST.
- Special rates for hotels, which can be found in the website https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/conferences/confest-2023/info/,
as well as further local information about Antwerp.
