A new computational model, or a new feature in a traditional one, usually is reflected in a new family of programming languages, and new paradigms of software development. DCM 2015 is the eleventh in a series of international workshops focusing on new computational models. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are currently developing new computational models or new features for traditional computational models, in order to foster their interaction, to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work in progress, and to enable newcomers to learn about current activities in this area. DCM 2015 will be a one-day satellite event of ICTAC 2015, the Twelfth International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing. == TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include all abstract models of computation and their properties, and their applications to the development of programming languages and systems: - functional calculi: lambda-calculus, rho-calculus, term and graph rewriting; - quantum computation, including implementations and formal methods in quantum protocols; - probabilistic computation and verification in modeling situations; - chemical, biological and bio-inspired computation, including spatial models, self-assembly, growth models; - models of concurrency, including the treatment of mobility, trust, and security; - infinitary models of computation; - information-theoretic ideas in computing; - relative and higher type computation. == IMPORTANT DATES - Submission Deadline for Extended Abstracts: August 17 (extended) - Notification: 13 September - Pre-proceedings version due: 5 October - Workshop: 28 October - Submission Deadline for EPTCS Proceedings: 7 December == INVITED SPEAKERS Mauricio Ayala Rincón, Universidade de Brasilia (Brazil).

[TYPES/announce] Book Announcement: Computability In Context
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] Book Announcement: __ COMPUTABILITY IN CONTEXT: Computation and Logic in the Real World (ed. S Barry Cooper and Andrea Sorbi) World Scientific, Feb. 2011 http://www.worldscibooks.com/mathematics/p577.html Computability has played a crucial role in mathematics and computer science, leading to the discovery, understanding and classification of decidable/undecidable problems, paving the way for the modern computer era, and affecting deeply our view of the world. Recent new paradigms of computation, based on biological and physical models, address in a radically new way questions of efficiency and challenge assumptions about the so-called Turing barrier. This volume, arising from the conference Computability in Europe 2007: Computation and Logic in the Real World, addresses various aspects of the ways computability and theoretical computer science enable scientists and philosophers to deal with mathematical and real-world issues, covering problems related to logic, mathematics, physical processes, real computation and learning theory. At the same time it will focus on different ways in which computability emerges from the real world, and how this affects our way of thinking about everyday computational issues.

CiE serves as an interdisciplinary forum for research in all aspects of computability and foundations of computer science, as well as the interplay of these theoretical areas with practical issues in computer science and with other disciplines such as biology, mathematics, philosophy, or physics. The Programme Committee (Dag Normann and Ivan Soskov co-chairs) cordially invites all researchers in the area of the conference to submit their papers (in PDF-format, at most 10 pages) for presentation at CiE 2011 to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cie2011. The best of the accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings within the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer, which will be available at the conference. Other accepted contributed papers together with abstracts of informal presentations will appear in our local pre-conference proceedings volume. We particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts of the research community. Since women are underrepresented in mathematics and computer science, we emphatically encourage submissions by female authors (see below for the 'Women in Computability' grants). IMPORTANT DATES: Submission Deadline:January 14, 2011 Notification of Authors:March 12, 2011 Final Version: April 2, 2011 Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the conference. Submitted papers must describe work not previously published, and they must neither be accepted nor under review at a journal or at another conference with refereed proceedings. All papers need to be prepared in LNCS-style LaTeX. Papers should not exceed 10 pages; full proofs may appear in a technical appendix which will be read at the reviewers' discretion. Submissions authored or co-authored by a Programme Committee member are not allowed.

[TYPES/announce] 2012 - THE ALAN TURING YEAR
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] 2012 - THE ALAN TURING YEAR: June 23, 2012, is the Centenary of Alan Turing's birth. During his relatively brief life, Turing made a unique impact on the history of computing, computer science, artificial intelligence, developmental biology, and the mathematical theory of computability. 2012 will be a year-long celebration of Turing's life and scientific impact, with a number of major events taking place throughout the year. Most of these will be linked to places with special significance in Turings life, such as Cambridge, Manchester and Bletchley Park.
