Eighth International Workshop on Security Issues in Concurrency, Paris, France
30 August 2010 - 30 August 2010
France
The Eighth International Workshop on Security Issues in Concurrency will be held on 30 August 2010 in Paris, France.
Concurrency is a situation where computations are executed simultaneously, and potentially interact with each other. In recent years, concurrency theory has been an active field of research in theoretical computer science.
Emerging trends in concurrency theory require the definition of models and languages adequate for the design and management of new classes of applications, mainly programming either wide area networks (WANs) or smaller networks of mobile and portable devices. Due to the openness of these systems, new critical aspects come into play, such as the need to deal with malicious components or with a hostile environment.
Current research on network security issues usually focuses on opening cryptographic point-to-point tunnels. However, these may not always succeed in supporting the end-to-end secure interaction between entities whose availability or location is not known beforehand.
The aim of the workshop is to cover the gap between the security and the concurrency communities. It will also promote the exchange of ideas, focusing on common interests and stimulating discussions on central research questions.
The workshop will take place at the same time as the 21st International Conference on Concurrency Theory.For further information, please visit:
