Kent Concurrency Workshop and S-REPLS 15

University of Kent, Canterbury

18‐19 July, 2024

The South of England Regional Programming Language Seminar (S-REPLS) is a regular and informal meeting open to everyone with a professional interest — whether it be academic or commercial — in the semantics and implementation of programming languages. This year it will be jointly held with the Concurrency Workshop which aims to bring together researchers who are working on the theory of concurrency and related areas.

The workshop will be held in LT2 Sibson Building (see Campus Map). Directions to the Canterbury Campus are available here .

Registration for the event is free. Lunch and tea/coffee will be provided thanks to funding from the LIFT Research Center (Languages for Innovation and Future Technologies) at University of Kent and from VeTSS .
