CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                       MOVEP 2010

         9th International Summer School on
         MOdelling and VErifying parallel Processes

          June 28 -- July 2 2010, Aachen, Germany

         http://automata.rwth-aachen.de/movep2010/


AIMS AND SCOPE   -----------------------------------------------------

MOVEP is a  5 day summer school about  modelling and verifying parallel
processes.  The  first five  occurrences of the  School took  place in
Nantes (France) every two years  from 1994 to 2002.  The next editions
were held in Brussels (Belgium) in December 2004, in Bordeaux (France)
in June 2006, and in Orleans (France) in June 2008.

The purpose  of MOVEP is  to bring together researchers,  students and
people from industry working in the fields of control and verification
of concurrent and reactive systems.  The school seeks to offer a broad
spectrum of current  research in this area of  theoretical and applied
computer  science. The  topics  covered by  MOVEP  2010 include  model
checking,  testing, synthesis,  real-time and  hybrid  systems, games,
stochastic systems, security, computational systems biology etc.

MOVEP 2010 is supported by the ESF GAMES project, INRIA Rennes, Action
AFSEC (CNRS) and the RWTH Aachen.
