EUR 500, EACH >>> ***************************************************************************** ICTAC 2016 will be held in the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC, during the period 24-31 October, 2016. Established in 2004, the ICTAC conference series aims at bringing together practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and government to present research and to exchange ideas and experience addressing challenges in both theoretical aspects of computing and in the exploitation of theory through methods and tools for system development. ICTAC also aims to promote cooperation in research and education between participants and their institutions, from developing and industrial countries. THEMES AND TOPICS OF PAPERS Topics of interest include theories of computation and programming, foundations of software engineering and formal techniques in software design and verification, as well as tools that support formal techniques for system modeling, design and verification. The topical areas of the conference include, but are not limited to * Automata theory and formal languages; * Principles and semantics of programming languages; * Theories of concurrency, mobility and reconfiguration; * Logics and their applications; * Software architectures and their models, refinement and verification; * Relationship between software requirements, models and code; * Program static and dynamic analysis and verification; * Software specification, refinement, verification and testing; * Model checking and theorem proving; * Models of object and component systems; * Coordination and feature interaction; * Integration of theories, formal methods and tools for engineering computing systems; * Service-oriented architectures: models and development methods; * Models of concurrency, security, and mobility; * Theory of distributed, grid and cloud computing; * Real-time, embedded, hybrid and cyber-physical systems; * Type and category theory in computer science; * Models for learning and education; * Case studies, theories, tools and experiments of verified systems; * Domain-specific modeling and technology: examples, frameworks and experience. * Challenges and foundations in the environmental modeling and monitoring, healthcare, and disaster management. INVITED SPEAKERS * Hsu-Chun Yen, National Taiwan University (TW) * Leonardo de Moura, Microsoft (US) * Heike Wehrheim, Universität Paderborn (DE) ASSOCIATED EVENT * ICTAC Summer School on Formal Methods (29-31 October, 2016) IMPORTANT DATES * Paper submission: 16 May,2016 [ALSO FOR THOSE THAT DID NOT SUBMIT ABSTRACT] * Author notification: 1 July, 2016 * Camera ready: 22 July, 2015 PAPER CATEGORIES AND FORMAT We call for submissions, related to the above areas and topics, according to the following three categories: * Regular papers, with original research contributions; * Short papers, on recent work or proposals of emerging challenges; * Tool papers, on tools that support formal techniques for software modeling, system design and verification. Submissions should adhere to the LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). Regular papers should not exceed 18 pages. Short and tool papers should not exceed 10 pages. Submissions to the colloquium must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation quality, as well as their relevance to the conference.
