Call for Applications

EXPRESS: Expressiveness of Languages for Concurrency is an HCM
cooperation network which aims at investigating the interconnections
and relations between formal systems, ranging from languages for
concurrency to related axiom systems or rewrite systems. The network
activities are structured along the following five main themes:
 * process algebra
 * causality based semantics
 * communication mechanisms
 * higher order calculi
 * theory of embeddings.

EXPRESS is offering a number of visiting fellowships at doctoral or
post-doctoral level in the area of concurrency. The duration of these
fellowships is between 6 and 9 months (depending on sites); under
exceptional circumstances, the duration of the fellowships may be
reduced to a duration of 3 months. A starting date between January 1,
1997 and July 1, 1997 is required. Further information concerning
scientific contents, starting date, duration and allowance for the
positions may be obtained from the potential host institutes:
