Aim of the meeting

The primary aim of the Working Group 2.2 is to explain programming concepts through the development, examination and comparison of various formal models of these concepts. The spirit of working group meetings is well different from ordinary conferences and workshops. They should allow participants to share their research objectives and interests with others. Presentations that give an introduction to a research domain and that inform about new developments are encouraged. A high proportion of time is devoted to open discussions about the research goals and about different approaches.

Participation is restricted to working group members and invited observers.
