            3 March 1999: final version


State-based dynamical systems as found throughout computing science
are traditionally described as transition systems or certain kinds of
automata. During the last decade, it has become increasingly clear
that such systems can be captured uniformly as ``coalgebras'' (which
are the formal dual of algebras). Coalgebra is beginning to develop
into a field of its own, with its own proof-methods (involving
bisimulations and invariants). This workshop will be devoted to both
an introduction to basic coalgebraic notions and techniques, and also
to some recent advances in the theory and applications of coalgebras.


We are looking for participants to this informal workshop on both the
theory and the use of coalgebras in computer science.


As with CMCS '98, we plan to publish the proceedings of this meeting
as a volume of ENTCS (Electronic Lecture Notes in Computer Science),
to be followed by a special issue of TCS.


The proceedings of CMCS '98,
published as ENTCS Volume 11, can be found at:

More information on CMCS '99 and instructions for submission
will be soon available at the same address.
