GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT SFM
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Formal methods are emerging in computer science as a prominent
approach to the rigorous design of computer, communication and
software systems.

The aim of the SFM series is to offer a good spectrum of
current research in foundations as well as applications of
formal methods, which can be of interest for graduate students
and young researchers who intend to approach the field.

This year SFM is devoted to multicore programming and covers
topics such as concurrency and coordination mechanisms,
architecture and memory models, and type systems.


COURSES AND LECTURERS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The school features the following lectures:

"Parallel Objects for Multicores"
Dave Clarke (Uppsala U, SE)

"Concurrency in Java"
Doug Lea (SUNY Oswego, US)

"Coordinating Multicore Computing"
Farhad Arbab (CWI Amsterdam, NL)

"Automated Inference of Atomic Sets for Safe Concurrent Execution"
Gul Agha (UI Urbana-Champaign, US)

"Modeling of Architectures"
Jade Alglave (UC London, UK)

"Memory Models for Programming Languages"
Francesco Zappa Nardelli (INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt, FR)

"Multiparty Session Types"
Nobuko Yoshida (IC London, UK)

"Ownership Types"
Sophia Drossopoulou (IC London, UK)

"Types and Permissions in Mezzo"
Francois Pottier (INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt, FR)

"Safe Concurrent Programming with Behavioral Types"
Luis Caires (UN Lisbon, PT)

All participants will receive a copy of a tutorial book published by
Springer as a volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.


LOCATION
^^^^^^^^

SFM-15:MP will be held in the medieval hilltop town of Bertinoro.

This place is in Emilia Romagna, about 70 km south-east of Bologna,
at an elevation of about 230 m. It can be reached in a couple of
hours from the international airport "G. Marconi" of Bologna by
shuttle (from the airport to the railway station) + train (from
Bologna to Forli`) + bus/taxi (from the railway station to Bertinoro).

Bertinoro is close to many splendid locations such as Urbino,
Gradara, San Leo, and the Republic of San Marino, as well as some
less well-known locations like the thermal springs of Fratta Terme.
Bertinoro can also be a base for visiting some of the better-known
Italian locations such as Bologna, Parma, Rimini, Ravenna, Ferrara,
Padova, Venezia, Verona, Firenze, Pisa, Lucca, and Siena.

Bertinoro itself is picturesque, with its narrow streets and
walkways winding around the central peak. The school will be held
at the Centro Residenziale Universitario (CRU), an ex-episcopal
fortress that has been converted into a modern conference center.
From the fortress, it is possible to enjoy a beautiful vista stretching
from the Apennines to the Adriatic Coast and the Alps over the Po Valley.
