CONCUR 2020 is part of the umbrella conference QONFEST 2020 comprising the joint international 2020 meetings CONCUR, FMICS, FORMATS, QEST, alongside with several workshops and tutorials. Amid the recent COVID-19 situation, the organization committee decided that QONFEST 2020, and thus also CONCUR 2020 will be organized on-line. Accepted papers will be published as planned, by September 2020, but no physical meeting/presentations will take place. We plan that the authors will record their talks and discuss them with the conference participants online. All CONCUR 2020 deadlines have been adjusted with two weeks dead-line extensions. ------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS Submissions are solicited in semantics, logics, verification and analysis of concurrent systems. The principal topics include (but are not limited to): -Basic models of concurrency such as abstract machines, domain-theoretic models, game-theoretic models, process algebras, graph transformation systems, Petri nets, hybrid systems, mobile and collaborative systems, probabilistic systems, real-time systems, biology-inspired systems, and synchronous systems; -Logics for concurrency such as modal logics, probabilistic and stochastic logics, temporal logics, and resource logics; -Verification and analysis techniques for concurrent systems such as abstract interpretation, atomicity checking, model checking, race detection, preorder and equivalence checking, run-time verification, state-space exploration, static analysis, syn-thesis, testing, theorem proving, type systems, and security analysis; -Distributed algorithms and data structures: design, analysis, complexity, correctness, fault tolerance, reliability, availability, consistency, self-organization, self-stabilization, protocols; -Theoretical foundations of architectures, execution environments, and software development for concurrent systems such as georeplicated systems, communication networks, multiprocessor and multi-core architectures, shared and transactional memory, resource management and awareness, compilers and tools for concurrent programming, programming models such as component-based, object- and service-oriented. ------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION -CONCUR 2020 solicits high quality papers reporting research results and/or experience re-lated to the topics mentioned below. -All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. The paper may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee. -The CONCUR 2020 proceedings will be published by LIPIcs. -Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files via EasyChair. Papers must not exceed 14 pages (excluding references and clearly marked appendices) using the LIPIcs style. ------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES All dates are AoE, extended because of COVID-19. -Abstract submission: April 28, 2020 -Paper submission: May 6, 2020 -Notification: June 28, 2020 -Camera ready copy: July 17, 2020 -Conference: September 1-4, 2020 ------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL ISSUE A special issue dedicated to selected papers from CONCUR 2020 will appear in Logical Methods in Computer Science. ------------------------------------------------------------- ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE Program Co-chairs Igor Konnov - Informal Systems, Austria Laura Kovacs - TU Wien, Austria Workshop Chair Florian Zuleger - TU Wien, Austria Webmaster Thanh-Hai Tran - TU Wien, Austria ------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE Alessandro Abate, University of Oxford Elvira Albert, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Giovanni Bacci, Aalborg University Filippo Bonchi, University of Pisa Patricia Bouyer, CNRS Yu-Fang Chen, Academia Sinica Veronique Cortier, CNRS, Loria Pedro R.

ESWC 2020 will be a virtual conference
by Valentina Ivanova 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

ESWC 2020 will be a virtual conference between the original dates of May 31 and June 4. While we still work out the details, the following is the high-level structure: - The main paper tracks (research, resources and in-use tracks) will be run in an asynchronous fashion, with screencasts from the authors and an online forum for questions and discussions via the website. - We go ahead with the original schedule for the proceedings of the main paper tracks; authors have to register by the end of April. - The updated registration fees will be in-line with other virtual conferences. - The satellite events (workshops, tutorials, posters, demos, the doctoral consortium and the industrial track) will be run in a synchronous fashion, supported by chat and bidirectional audio and video. - We go ahead with the original schedule for the satellite contributions as post-proceedings. - Because we are optimists, we plan a small optional post-conference symposium in Heraklion in the first half of October if the travel restrictions permit. Please plan accordingly. We will provide updates via: - the website - https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/ - Twitter - https://twitter.com/eswc_conf - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ESWCCONF

*IEEE Big Data 2020 Call for Workshop Proposals* 2020 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2020) http://bigdataieee.org/BigData2020/index.html December 10-13, 2020, Atlanta, GA, USA ================================================================= The Program Committees of the 2020 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2020) invite proposals for Workshops. Selected workshops will hold a central position within the larger conference, which will bring together top academic and industrial researchers from all over the world to exchange cutting edge research ideas in Big Data research, development and practice. Within these fields, workshops at Big Data form crucial focal points for emerging communities and forums for the examination of new ideas. Here are a summary of the conferences in the previous years: The IEEE Big Data conference series started in 2013 has established itself as the top tier research conference in Big Data. 1. The first conference IEEE Big Data 2013 ( http://bigdataieee.org/BigData2013/ regular paper acceptance rate: 17.0%) was held in Santa Clara, CA from Oct 6-9, 2013 with more than 400 registered participants from 40 countries. 2.
