Transform School 7-11 February 2011

Feb 4th, 2011 by

TRANSFORM is a Marie Curie Initial Training Networks European project  devoted to the Theoretical Foundations of Software Transactional Memory   (STM).  STM systems aim at providing programmers
with  concepts and tools that facilitates the design of concurrent programs. In short, they can be seen as “concurrent programming for the measses”.
The aim of the TRANSFORM project is to supply sane  theoretical foundations for these systems. It involves  the following universities : ICS FORTH (Greece),  EPFL  (Switzerland),  University of Rennes 1 (France),  Technische Universitat of Berlin (Germany) and the Technion (Israel).

You will find hereafter the program of the Transform School here.
