The main objective of the course is to familiarise PhD student with basic concepts, results and methods from the theory of mobile processes. The goal is to acquire fundamental knowledge of basic elements (process, communication, competitiveness, ...) and techniques for understanding formal models for mobile processes. Another goal is that young researcher gets involved in the work of a research group, according to his/her interests.

Knowledge about fundamental notions and tools for studying calculi of mobile processes. Inclusion into national or international research teams.

Introduction to mobile processes: processes, communication, concurrency, mobility and interference. Behaviour of mobile processes: transition and bisimilarity relations, structural equivalences and reductions, equational theories, logics and types. A calculus of mobile processes (students' choices). Optional field (reversible computation, modelling communication protocols, self-adaptive systems, nature inspired software systems etc.)

The presentation of the theoretical part during the lectures is followed by the characteristic examples which contribute to better understanding of the subject matter. The students are expected to individually study the additional literature which they discuss with the . subject teacher at the consultation classes. Through research and study work the student will, on the bases of scientific journals and other relevant literature that has been studied independently, develop further understanding of the material covered in lectures. Working with the course teacher the student develops the ability to independently work on a scientific paper.
