CONCUR '91: 2nd International Conference on Concurrency Theory, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, August 26-29, 1991. Proceedings / Edition 1

by Jos C.M. Baeten, Jan F. Groote

Overview

CONCUR'91 is the second international conference on concurrency theory, organized in association with the NFI project Transfer. It is a sequel to the CONCUR'90 conference. Its basic aim is to communicate ongoing work in concurrency theory. This proceedings volume contains 30 papers selected for presentation at the conference (from 71 submitted) together with four invited papers and abstracts of the other invited papers. The papers are organized into sections on process algebras, logics and model checking, applications and specification languages, models and net theory, design and real-time, tools and probabilities, and programming languages. The proceedings of CONCUR'90 are available asVolume 458 of Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
