This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Concurrency Theory, CONCUR 2009, held in Bologna, Italy, September 1-4, 2009. The 37 revised full papers presented together with four invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 129 submissions. The topics include model checking, process calculi, minimization and equivalence checking, types, semantics, probability, bisimulation and simulation, real time, and formal languages.
