[C3] ================================================ AMAST Links 02 06 First Int'l Conf. on Coordination Models and Languages, COORDINATION'96 Cesena, Italy, April 15-17, 1996 _(LaTeX) Preliminary Announcement and Call for Papers_ at URL: http://www.cs.utwente.nl/data/amast/links/v02/i06/full/AC0206C3.tex A new class of models, formalisms and mechanisms for describing concurrent and distributed computations has emerged over the last few years. Some significant representatives of this new class are models and languages based on (generative) communication via a shared data space: Gamma, Linda, Swarm, Linear Objects, Polis and Tao are examples. Coordination models and languages are being investigated by the ESPRIT Basic Research Project, COORDINATION, which is organising this event. The objective of this conference is to provide a forum for the rapidly growing community of researchers interested in this field. A typical, but not exclusive list of topics of interest are: coordination problems within concurrent, distributed, object oriented, functional and logic programming; concurrent computation, constraint programming, computation models based on the chemical reaction metaphor and related areas; software environments for the development of coordinated applications; semantics and reasoning about coordination; case studies with industrial relevance. *Submissions.* Authors are invited to send full papers (in English, up to 15 pages) to the PC chairman, at the address mentioned below. Simultaneous submission to other conferences or journals is not allowed. Electronic submission is encouraged via e-mail, in the form of uuencoded compressed PostScript(TM) files. Each submission should be accompanied by a 100 word summary and a single postal and e-mail address for communication. Further information about COORDINATION'96 may also be obtained from the program chair. *Program Chair:* Chris Hankin (London) Department of Computing, Imperial College 180 Queen's Gate, London SW7 2BZ, UK *Important Dates* Deadline for submissions: October 30, 1995 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 1995 Camera-ready version due: January 15, 1996
