    This is the second *Call for Participants* for CPA 2016. CPA is
    concerned with concurrency at all scales. It aims to bridge the gap
    between the mathematical theory of concurrency and its practical
    application to the design, implementation and validation of parallel applications for embedded, multicore and distributed computing systems.
    Further information on the themes for CPA can be found in the Call for
    Papers (now closed):
