Synopsis

In April 2004, after one year of intense debate, CMCS, the International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science, and WADT, the Workshop on Al- braic Development Techniques, decided to join their forces and reputations into a new high-level biennial conference. CALCO, the Conference on Algebra and Co- gebra in Computer Science, was created to bring together researchers and practit- ners to exchange new results related to foundational aspects, and both traditional and emerging uses of algebras and coalgebras in computer science. A steering committee was put together by merging those of CMCS and WADT: Jiri Adamek, Ataru Na- gawa, Michel Bidoit, José Fiadeiro (co-chair), Hans-Peter Gumm, Bart Jacobs, Hans- Jörg Kreowski, Ugo Montanari, Larry Moss, Peter Mosses, Fernando Orejas, Fr- cesco Parisi-Presicce, John Power, Horst Reichel, Markus Roggenbach, Jan Rutten (co-chair), and Andrzej Tarlecki. CALCO 2005 was the first instance of this new conference. The interest that it generated in the scientific community suggests that it will not be the last. Indeed, it attracted as many as 62 submissions covering a wide range of topics roughly divided into two areas: Algebras and Coalgebras as Mathematical Objects: Automata and languages; categorical semantics; hybrid, probabilistic, and timed systems; inductive and co- ductive methods; modal logics; relational systems and term rewriting.

About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science, CALCO 2005, held in Swansea, UK in September 2005. The biennial conference was created by joining the International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science (CMCS) and the Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques (WADT). It addresses two basic areas of application for algebras and coalgebras - as mathematical objects as well as their application in computer science. The 25 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions.

The papers deal with the following subjects: automata and languages; categorical semantics; hybrid, probabilistic, and timed systems; inductive and coinductive methods; modal logics; relational systems and term rewriting; abstract data types; algebraic and coalgebraic specification; calculi and models of concurrent, distributed, mobile, and context-aware computing; formal testing and quality assurance; general systems theory and computational models (chemical, biological, etc); generative programming and model-driven development; models, correctness and (re)configuration of hardware/middleware/architectures; re-engineering techniques (program transformation); semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques; semantics of programming languages; validation and verification.
