This workshop is devoted to all aspects of synchronous programming: languages, compiling techniques, formal methods, programming environments, execution platforms, semantics issues, code generation...
It is open, meaning that participation is granted to everyone, and that depending on availability, every participant is granted a time slot for an oral presentation (usually 30 minutes to 1 hour).
The workshop took place in Hôtel Le Pic Blanc in l'Alpe d'Huez. The hotel is situated in Quartier des Bergers (number 13 in square M5 of this map).
