This volume contains the proceedings of DCM 2015, the 11th International Workshop on Developments in Computational Models held on October 28, 2015 in Cali, Colombia. DCM 2015 was organized as a one-day satellite event of the 12th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing (ICTAC 2015).
Several new models of computation have emerged in the last few years, and many developments of traditional computational models have been proposed with the aim of taking into account the new demands of computer systems users and the new capabilities of computation engines. A new computational model, or a new feature in a traditional one, usually is reflected in a new family of programming languages, and new paradigms of software development.
The aim of the DCM workshop series is to bring together researchers who are currently developing new computational models or new features for traditional computational models, in order to foster their interaction, to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work in progress, and to enable newcomers to learn about current activities in this area. Topics of interest include all abstract models of computation and their applications to the development of programming languages and systems. This includes (but is not limited to):
There were 6 submissions. Each submission was reviewed by at least 3 program committee members. The committee decided to accept 4 papers for presentation at the workshop. The program also included 3 invited talks by
The workshop itself was well-attended; both the contributed talks and the invited presentations triggered interesting discussions.
After the workshop, authors were invited to submit an extended version of their work; these revised papers were refereed again by at least three members of the program committee. All 4 papers were selected for inclusion in this volume. Three further contributed papers, associated to each one of the invited talks, are also included here.
Many people helped to make DCM 2015 a success. We are grateful to the members of the programme committee and external reviewers for their careful work in the reviewing process. We are indebted to the invited speakers for their availability and inspiring presentations. We would also like to thank the general chair and local organizers of ICTAC 2015 for their constant support.
