[ Our apologies for multiple copies. ] ====================================================================== Grant support for the participation to COORDINATION 2005 7th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages Namur, Belgium, 20-23 April 2005 http://www.coordination2005.org ====================================================================== SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE Modern information systems rely increasingly on combining concurrent, distributed, mobile, reconfigurable and heterogenous components. New models, architectures, languages, verification techniques are necessary to cope with the complexity induced by the demands of today's software development. Coordination languages have emerged as a successful approach, in that they provide abstractions that cleanly separate behavior from communication, therefore increasing modularity, simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing software development. Building on the success of the previous editions, this conference provides a well-established forum for the growing community of researchers interested in models, languages, architectures, and implementation techniques for coordination. GRANTS Thanks to the sponsoring of MicroSoft Research Europe, several grants are offered in order to allow promising PhD students working on topics related to coordination models and languages to attend the conference. The grant will cover, on the basis of receipts, the registration to the conference, hotel accommodation in Namur, and travel to/from Namur. To apply for a grant, please 1) send an email to the conference chairs at chair@pc.coordination2005.org no later than April 6th 2005 with following information - a 2-page position paper on your research stressing its relation to the conference - a CV including your affiliation, age, studies, diplomas, and publications - a budget for your travel to/from Namur. 2) fax a letter of recommendation of your supervisor to Prof. J.-M. Jacquet Institute of Informatics University of Namur rue Grandgagnage 21 5000 Namur Belgium Fax +32 81 72 49 67
