This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Concurrency Theory, CONCUR 2004, held in London, UK in August/September 2004. The 29 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 134 submissions. Among the topics covered are concurrency related aspects of models of computation, semantic domains, process algebras, Petri nets, event structures, real-time systems, hybrid systems, decidability, model checking, verification techniques, refinement, term and graph rewriting, distributed programming, constraint logic programming, object-oriented programming, typing systems and algorithms, case studies, tools, and environments for programming and verification.
