[Concurrency] Summer school on Concurrency
The Second International Summer School on Trends in Concurrency
TiC 2008
Prague, Czech Republic, June 22 - 27, 2008
Concurrency is a pervasive and essential characteristic of modern computer systems. Whether it is the design of new hyper-threading techniques in computer architectures, specification of non-blocking data structures and algorithms, implementation of scalable computer farms for handling massive data sets, or the design of a robust software architecture for distributed business processes, a deep understanding of mechanisms and foundations for expressing and controlling concurrency is required. Recent architectural advances in multi-core and many-core architectures have made this an essential topic for any serious student of computer science.
This summer school will bring together outstanding researchers from academia and industry to discuss current research and future trends in concurrent systems design and implementation. All instructors have had significant impact in the area of concurrency, and play an active role in substantial ongoing research and commercial efforts.
The speakers include the following researchers.
- Byron Cook, Microsoft Research
- Neal Glew, intel Research
- Jan-willem Maessen, Sun Laboratories.
- Martin Odersky, EPFL.
- Vivek Sarkar, Rice University.
- Peter Sewell, Cambridge University.
Thanks to generous grants from Microsoft, Intel and IBM, between 20 and 30 grants to cover participants’ registration and accommodation fees will be available. The deadline for application when asking for a grant is April 4, 2008. There is a 40 person limit on the number of participants, late applications will be considered only if there is room.
Microsoft grants are restricted to students from Eastern Europe.
