RESearch in Avispa: Concurrency theory and Applications

Universidad Javeriana Cali (Colombia)
Tuesday January 13th, 2009.



Overview

The workshop Research in AVISPA: Concurrency theory and Applications will take place at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali in January 13 2009. Its aim is to provide a forum where members of AVISPA Research Group (undergraduate and graduate students, young and senior researchers) can present their most recent ideas and developments in both theory and applications of Concurrency.

Apart from featuring introductory talks on "hot" research areas for AVISPA, the workshop will be a unique opportunity to discuss new promising directions for the group. Undergraduate and graduate students will have the chance of interacting with AVISPA members abroad, and will learn more about forthcoming research opportunities and projects within the group.

The workshop is open to everyone. Participation of undergraduate students is especially encouraged.
