            Notification to authors: April 15, 1998


The study of infinite state systems has received a concerted effort
within the Concurrency Theory community over the past few years. The
basis of this effort has been the realization that an understanding 
of infinite state systems is necessary in order to have a complete 
picture of general process algebras, Petri nets, or other formalisms 
incorporating value-passing, real-time, hybrid, and/or probabilistic 
aspects. Its importance has grown however by the further realization 
that techniques which are developed for infinite state systems 
- particularly structural techniques - can potentially provide 
elegant solutions to the state-space explosion problem in the 
analysis of finite state systems, as well as to classical problems in 
language theory.

The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers 
interested in the development of mathematical techniques for the 
analysis of infinite state systems. Topics of particular interest 
include: decidability issues for equivalence and model checking over 
various classes of infinite state systems; complexity results for 
decidability results; connections and applications to questions in 
classical automata and formal language theory; and tools and case 
studies involving nontrivial applications of methods for the analysis 
of infinite state systems.

INFINITY '98 is the third INFINITY Workshop. The first two Workshops 
were held in Pisa and Bologna. A selection of the papers presented at
INFINITY '96 and INFINITY '97 has been published in Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, Volumes 5 and 9, respectively.
You can access most of the papers from the INFINITY '98 home page.

SUBMISSIONS: Authors are invited to submit a 5-page extended 
abstract to the Programme Chair:

         Javier Esparza 
         Technical University of Munich
         esparza@informatik.tu-muenchen.de

The submission should be emailed in postscript format 

         BEFORE March 15, 1998.

The Programme Committee will select the most appropriate abstracts  
for presentation during the worskhop and make their decisions known 

         BY April 15, 1998.

PROCEEDINGS: The selected abstracts will be compiled into an informal 
proceedings in the form of a Technical University of Munich Research 
Report for distribution at the workshop, and final papers will likely 
be reviewed for publication in Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer 
Science.

PROGRAM COMMITTEE:  

A. Bouajjani    (VERIMAG, Grenoble)
J. Bradfield    (Edinburgh)
O. Burkart      (Dortmund/Edinburgh)
