The purpose of the CONCUR conferences is to bring together
researchers, developers, and students in order to advance the
theory of concurrency, and promote its applications.

			================================
				   TOPICS
			================================

Submissions are solicited in all areas of 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, and Petri nets;

- Logics for concurrency such as modal logics, probabilistic and stochastic
  logics, temporal logics, and resource logics;

- Models of specialized systems such as biology-inspired systems, circuits,
  hybrid systems, mobile and collaborative systems, multi-core processors,
  probabilistic systems, real-time systems, service-oriented computing, and
  synchronous systems;

- Verification and analysis techniques for concurrent systems such as
  abstract interpretation, atomicity checking, model checking, race detection,
  pre-order and equivalence checking, run-time verification, state-space
  exploration, static analysis, synthesis, testing, theorem proving, and type
  systems;

- Related programming models such as distributed, component-based,
  object-oriented, and web services.

			       CO-LOCATED EVENTS
			================================

There will be co-located workshops, which take place on August 30 and

on Temporal Representation and Reasoning (TIME 2010), which is scheduled for
September 6 - 8, 2010, Paris, France.

			================================
				PAPER SUBMISSION
			================================

CONCUR 2010 solicits high quality papers reporting research results and/or
experience reports related to the topics mentioned above. All papers must be
original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. 
Contributions should be submitted electronically as PDF, using the Springer
LNCS style. Papers should not exceed 15 pages in length. Each paper will
undergo a thorough review process. If necessary, the paper may be supplemented
with a clearly marked appendix, which will be reviewed at the discretion of
the program committee.

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series. 
Proceedings will be made available at the conference.
