http://laser.inf.ethz.ch/2015/

Application deadline: March 31, 2015


Special Promotion
------------------------

Three registrations for the price of two. If your institution registers
three people for LASER, you only have to pay the registration fee
for two of them. All three people still have to pay their accommodation.

Goals
--------

The LASER summer school, organized by the ETH Chair of Software
Engineering, brings together the concepts and practice of software
engineering in the idyllic setting of the Elba Island off the coast of
Tuscany, easily reachable by air, car, bus or train.

The LASER school is intended for professionals from the industry
(engineers and managers) as well as university researchers, including
PhD students. Participants learn about the most important software
technology advances from the pioneers in the field. The school's focus
is applied, although theory is welcome to establish solid foundations.
The format of the school favors extensive interaction between
participants and speakers.

Topic and speakers
-------------------------

Concurrent and parallel computation is the locus of many of the
toughest challenges in computer science and software engineering.
The school brings together concurrency experts representing many
different approaches and views, and presents their answers to these
challenges. It is a unique opportunity to familiarize yourself with
the most important results in concurrency and get familiar with
work at the frontier of concurrency research.

The speakers are among the most respected experts in the field:

- Manfred Broy, TU München
- Maurice Herlihy, Brown University
- Jeff Kramer, Imperial College London
- Bertrand Meyer, ETH Zürich
- Jayadev Misra, University of Texas
- David Parnas, Middle Road Software, Inc

How to apply?
-----------------

Use the online registration form available on the LASER website
http://laser.inf.ethz.ch/2015. Registration is open until March 31,
2015. The number of participants is strictly limited to ensure quality
interaction with the lecturers and the rest of the audience. For more

Venue
--------

The school takes place at the magnificent Hotel del Golfo
(http://www.hoteldelgolfo.it/) in Golfo di Procchio, Elba. Along with an
intensive scientific program, participants will have time to enjoy the
natural and cultural riches of this history-laden jewel of the
Mediterranean.
