Proceedings 11th Interaction and Concurrency Experience

Pre-proceedings of 1st Interaction and Concurrency Experience (ICE’08) Synchronous and Asynchronous Interactions in Concurrent Distributed Systems

We investigate classes of systems based on different interaction patterns with the aim of achieving distributability. As our system model we use Petri nets. In Petri nets, an inherent concept of simultaneity is built in, since when a transition has more than one preplace, it can be crucial that tokens are removed instantaneously. When modelling a system which is intended to be implemented in an...

Multiport Interaction Nets and Concurrency

We consider an extension of Lafont’s Interaction Nets, called Multiport Interaction Nets, and show that they are a model of concurrent computation by encoding the full π-calculus in them. We thus obtain a faithful graphical representation of the π-calculus in which every reduction step is decomposed in fully local graph-rewriting rules.

Editorial: Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience

The journal started twelve years ago when parallel computing technology was getting to the point where it was being used in several practical scenarios. Thus Concurrency: Practice and Experience was launched to highlight papers with a high technical content but in some way or other having a practical flavor. Over the years the scope of the journal has been broadened to reflect the winds of chan...

Proceedings of the 11th Workshop on Nonmonotonic Reasoning

These are the proceedings of the 11th Nonmonotonic Reasoning Workshop. Theaim of this series http://www.kr.org/NMR/ is to bring together active re-searchers in the broad area of nonmonotonic reasoning, including belief revision,reasoning about actions, planning, logic programming, argumentation, causality,probabilistic and possibilistic approaches to KR, and other related topics...
