Combined 32nd International Workshop on Expressiveness in Concurrency and
22nd Workshop on Structural Operational Semantics (EXPRESS/SOS 2025)

Aarhus, Denmark, August 25, 2025, Affiliated with CONCUR 2025
===========================================

== IMPORTANT DATES
- Paper submission Tuesday, June 3, 2025
- Paper notification Thursday, July 10, 2025
- Workshop: August 25, 2025
- Final version (post-proceedings): September 25, 2025

== SCOPE AND TOPICS
The EXPRESS/SOS workshop series aims to bring together researchers
interested in the formal semantics of systems and programming
concepts, and in the expressiveness of computational models.

Topics of interest for EXPRESS/SOS 2025 include, but are not limited to:

- expressiveness and rigorous comparisons between models of computation (process algebras, event structures, Petri nets, rewrite systems)
- expressiveness and rigorous comparisons between programming languages and models (distributed, component-based, object-oriented, service-oriented);
- logics for concurrency (modal logics, probabilistic and stochastic logics, temporal logics and resource logics);
- analysis techniques for concurrent systems;
- theory of structural operational semantics (meta-theory, category-theoretic approaches, congruence results);
- comparisons between structural operational semantics and other formal semantic approaches;
- applications and case studies of structural operational semantics;
- software tools that automate, or are based on, structural operational semantics.

We especially welcome contributions bridging the gap between the above topics and neighbouring areas, such as, for instance:
- computer security
- multi-agent systems
- programming languages
- formal verification
- reversible computation
- knowledge representation


== SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
We invite two types of submissions:
* Full papers (up to 15 pages, excluding references).
* Short papers (up to 5 pages, excluding references, not included in the workshop post-proceedings)

All submissions have to adhere to the EPTCS format (https://info.eptcs.org/).
Simultaneous submission to journals, conferences or other workshops is only allowed for short papers; full papers must be unpublished.

Submission is performed through EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=expresssos2025

The final versions of accepted full papers will be published in EPTCS.
It is understood that for each accepted submission one of the co-authors will register for the workshop and present the paper.

* We are pleased to announce the possibility of a Joint Special Issue with EXPRESS/SOS 2024 (due in December 2025).
