The First Summer School on Practice and Theory of Concurrent Computing SPTCC 2017

Nowadays concurrency is everywhere. Be it a mainstream multi-core machine, a computing cluster, or a large-scale distributed service, a modern computing system involves multiple processes that concurrently perform independent computations and communicate to synchronize their activities. Understanding concurrency is therefore getting essential in both practice and research in computer science. The first summer school on Practice and Theory of Concurrent Computing took place on July 3-7, 2017 in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. The school was hosted by ITMO university, and financially supported by DevExperts, Yandex, Télécom ParisTech, and ANR-DFG DISCMAT project.
