Abstract

This volume contains the proceedings of ICE'21, the 14th Interaction and Concurrency Experience, which was held online on the 18th of June 2021, as a satellite event of DisCoTec'21. The ICE workshop series features a distinguishing review and selection procedure, allowing PC members to interact anonymously with authors. As in the past 13 editions, this interaction considerably improved the accuracy of the feedback from the reviewers and the quality of accepted papers, and offered the basis for lively discussion during the workshop. The 2021 edition of ICE included double blind reviewing of original research papers, in order to increase fairness and avoid bias in reviewing. Each paper was reviewed by three or four PC members, and altogether 5 papers were accepted for publication - plus 4 oral presentations which are not part of this volume. We were proud to host 2 invited talks, by Laura Bocchi and Helene Coullon. The abstracts of these talks are included in this volume together with the regular papers. The final versions of the contributions, taking into account the discussion at the workshop, are included.
