This is the final *Call for Participants* for CPA 2017.  It's really
just for information (see "NEW IN THIS CALL" below), but if anyone
decides suddenly they would like to participate (starting this coming
Sunday!), registration is still open and they will be very welcome.

CPA is concerned with concurrency at all scales.  It aims to bridge the
gap between the mathematical theory of concurrency and its practical
application to the design, implementation and validation of parallel
applications for embedded, multicore and distributed computing systems.
Further information on the themes for CPA can be found in the Call for
Papers (now closed):

 http://www.wotug.org/cpa2017/call.shtml

<<< NEW IN THIS CALL >>>

  * The programme of accepted papers, fringe presentations and Keynote
    talk is now available from:
    
      http://www.wotug.org/cpa2017/programme.shtml

    Abstracts for all these items are included on that page.  The Keynote
    talk this year is from Peter Welch, Emeritus Professor of Parallel
    Computing at the University of Kent, and is titled:

      Concurrency, Intuition and Formal Verification: Yes, We Can!

<<< REMINDER >>>

  * CPA 2017 remains open for further proposals for workshops and fringe
    presentations -- see:

      http://www.wotug.org/cpa2017/workshops.shtml
      http://www.wotug.org/cpa2017/fringe.shtml

  * Registration is open for CPA 2017:

      http://www.wotug.org/cpa2017/registration.shtml

    The registration fee has been set at Euro 250 (including VAT).
    This fee covers:

      - attendance at all conference, workshop and fringe sessions;
      - coffee/tea breaks, lunches and evening meals, including
        the conference dinner;
      - one copy of the Proceedings.

    Bed and breakfast accommodation is not provided from the registration
    fee.  Hotel information is on the Location page (see above).

  * The registration page also gives details of student bursaries, sponsored
    by WoTUG.  Bursaries will provide a discount of between Euro 150 and
    Euro 100, depending on demand, from the registration fee (Euro 250).

  * Important: the conference venue has changed (from the Valetta
    campus of the University) to the Victoria Hotel in Sliema:

      http://www.victoriahotel.com/

    All conference events will take place in this hotel, enabling
    conference attendance and accommodation in the same building.
    Many other hotels are available in the Sliema district and
    information is available on the Location page:

      http://www.wotug.org/cpa2017/location.shtml

    together with transport information (taxis, buses) from the MIA
    airport.
