Synchron 2026: 33rd International Open Workshop on Synchronous Programming

The Open Synchron Workshop is the annual meeting of experts and young researchers in the area of synchronous reactive programming. The main topics include executable specifications, program analysis, operational semantics, model-based design, formal methods, real-time programming, dedicated architectures, timing predictability, and controller synthesis.

The genuine format of the Open Synchron Workshop makes it unique in the modern landscape: there is no preliminary paper selection, and authors may present their new work in any available slot on a first-come/first-served basis. While the audience typically comprises a number of established researchers in the topic, newcomers are more than welcome. The cosy seminar atmosphere created by the venue in a single housing location is an opportunity for informal discussions and exchanges between researchers of differing seniority and expertise. Innovative contributions in blending reactive modeling and programming notions with neighboring research subjects and creative applicative domains, even at preliminary conceptual stages are always greatly appreciated.

The conference is held at the Villa Clythia in Fréjus, France, with accommodation and meals in the same centre. Participants typically arrive for dinner on Sunday, 15 November 2026. Scientific sessions run from Monday morning through to lunch on Friday, 20 November 2026. There will be an afternoon of light hiking in the Esterel mountains.

There is a low-traffic mailing list. Credits.
