Submission Instructions
Submission site:
https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=places2026Submissions are invited in the general area of programming language approaches to concurrency, communication and distribution, ranging from foundational issues, through language implementations, to applications and case studies. Submissions are peer-reviewed by a minimum of three reviewers, with the aim of allocating at least one expert reviewer.
Submissions must be formatted with the EPTCS style.
We welcome the following types of submission:
Research papers with a maximum length of 8 pages (with no restriction on bibliography or appendices, which the reviewers are not required to read). Submitted research papers are reviewed based on their novelty, clarity, and technical soundness. They must not be submitted for publication elsewhere, and if accepted, they will appear in the PLACES proceedings.
Talk proposals with a maximum length of 2 pages (with no restriction on bibliography or appendices, which the reviewers are not required to read). Talk proposals may present ongoing work, as well as work already published elsewhere. Accepted talk proposals will be presented at the workshop, but will not appear in the PLACES proceedings.
Topics
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
Design and implementation of programming languages with first class concurrency and communication primitives
Models for concurrent and distributed systems, such as process algebra and automata, and their mechanisation in proof assistants
Behavioural types, including session types
Concurrent data types, objects and actors
Verification and program analysis methods for safe and secure concurrent and distributed software
Interface and contract languages for communication and distribution
Applications to microservices, sensor networks, scientific computing, HPC, blockchains, robotics
Concurrency and communication in event processing and business process management
Proceedings
The proceedings of PLACES 2026 with accepted research papers will be published as a volume of EPTCS.
