Speakers: Jos Baeten\, Gerard Holzmann\, Jan Bergstra\, Moshe Vardi. The SEN2 group at CWI has p layed a prominent role in concurrency theory since the early 80's\, with a n emphasis on algebraic techniques for the specification and verification of software systems. Five consecutive leaders of SEN2 started research gro ups at Dutch universities. Now that concurrency theory is so well establis hed in The Netherlands\, CWI has decided to shift the focus of SEN2 to ser vice-oriented computing. END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:PhD defence Jens R.
