                     International Workshop on
              Petri Nets, Higher-Dimensional Automata,
                  Partial Orders, and Concurrency
                  Associated with PETRI NETS 2026

                     https://phocon.github.io/

PHOCON is a workshop on concurrency theory, in particular Petri nets
and non-interleaving concurrency.  It concerns itself with models for
concurrency, partial-order semantics, their relation to Petri nets,
and their applications.  Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to
- event structures,
- configuration structures,
- negotiations,
- higher-dimensional automata and variants,
- partial-order semantics,
- unfoldings,
- partial-order reduction,
- category theory,
- history-preserving bisimulation and variants,
- real-time concurrency.

We are calling for presentations of original, unfinished, already
published, or otherwise interesting work within the topics of the
PHOCON workshop. The submission can be in the form of a poster, an
abstract, a paper submitted to or published at another conference, a
tool demo or any other format. Original contributions to PHOCON will
be published in a volume of the CEUR Workshop Proceedings. Selected
best papers will be invited for publication in a volume of the journal
Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency (ToPNoC).
