Preface

This volume contains the papers presented at the 7th International Workshop on Developments in Computational Models (DCM 2011). DCM 2011 was held in Zürich, Switserland, on Sunday July 3, 2011, as a satellite event of ICALP 2011.

The main theme of the DCM workshop series is new computational models. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers who are currently developing new computational models, or new features of a traditional one. Topics of interest include all abstract models of computation and their properties, and their applications to the development of programming languages and systems.

The programme of DCM 2011 consisted of eight contributed talks. We would like to thanks the authors of the submitted papers, the members of the program committee, and their subreviewers for their contributions to the workshop, and to this volume. During the preparation of this volume, we heard the sad news that Manfred Kudlek, the author of one of the contributed papers, passed away in June 2012.

In addition to the contributed talks, the workshop had an invited tutorial Quantum Information Processing on Tensor-Network States by Tomoyuki Moriame, and two invited talks: Algebras of the Brain by Erwin Engeler, and Quantum Entanglement by Matthias Christandl. We would like to thank the invited speakers for their talks, and more in general for their contribution to the meeting. We would like to thank the organizing committee of ICALP 2011 for the excellent organization and facilities. Finally, we are very grateful to EPTCS for publishing these proceedings, and we would like to mention in particular the coaching by editor Rob van Glabbeek during the preparation of this volume.
