The EXPRESS workshops aim at bringing together researchers
interested in the relations between various formal systems,
particularly in the field of Concurrency. More specifically,
they focus on the comparison between programming concepts
(such as concurrent, functional, imperative, logic and
object-oriented programming) and between mathematical models
of computation (such as process algebras, Petri nets, event
structures, modal logics, rewrite systems etc.) on the basis
of their relative expressive power.
