=== Scope ===
Interaction and Concurrency Experiences (ICEs) is a series of international
scientific meetings oriented to theoretical computer science researchers with
special interest in models, verification, tools, and programming primitives for
complex interactions.
The general scope of the venue includes theoretical and applied aspects of
interactions and the synchronization mechanisms used among components of
concurrent/distributed systems, related to several areas of computer science in
the broad spectrum ranging from formal specification and analysis to studies
inspired by emerging computational models.
We solicit contributions relevant to Interaction and Concurrency, including but
not limited to:
* Formal semantics
* Process algebras and calculi
* Models and languages
* Protocols
* Logics and types
* Expressiveness
* Model transformations
* Tools, implementations, and experiments
* Specification and verification
* Coinductive techniques
* Tools and techniques for automation
* Synthesis techniques
=== Selection Procedure ===
Since its first edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has been an
innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive, friendly, and
constructive discussion amongst authors and PC members in an online forum.
During the review phase, each submission is published in a dedicated discussion
forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors of the submission
and by all PC members not in conflict with the submission (the forum preserves
anonymity). The forum is used by reviewers to ask questions, clarifications,
and modifications from the authors, allowing them better to explain and to
improve all aspects of their submission. The evaluation of the submission will
take into account not only the reviews, but also the outcome of the discussion.
As witnessed by the past eight editions of ICE, this procedure considerably
improves the accuracy of the reviews, the fairness of the selection, the
quality of camera-ready papers, and the discussion during the workshop.
This year we will adopt a light double-blind reviewing process, detailed below.
=== Submission Guidelines ===
We invite two types of submissions:
- Research papers, original contributions that will be published in the
workshop post-proceedings. Research papers must not be simultaneously submitted
to other conferences/workshops with refereed proceedings. The page limit for
research papers is 16 pages + 2 pages of references.
- Oral communications, that will be presented at the workshop, but will not
appear in the post-proceedings. This type of contribution includes e.g.
previously published contributions, preliminary work, and position papers.
There is no strict page limit for this kind of submission but submissions of at
most five pages would be appreciated. A one page summary of previously
published work also perfectly fits this category.
Authors of research papers must omit their names and institutions from the
title page, they should refer to their other work in the third person and omit
acknowledgements that could reveal their identity or affiliation. The purpose
is to avoid any bias based on authors? identity characteristics, such as
gender, seniority, or nationality, in the review process. Our goal is to
facilitate an unbiased approach to reviewing by supporting reviewers? access to
works that do not carry obvious references to the authors? identities. As
mentioned above, this is a lightweight double-blind process. Anonymization
should not be a heavy burden for authors, and should not make papers weaker or
more difficult to review. Advertising the paper on alternate forums (e.g., on a
personal web-page, pre-print archive, email, talks, discussions with
colleagues) is permitted, and authors will not be penalized by for such
advertisement.
Papers in the ?Communications? category need not be anonymized. For any
questions concerning the double blind process, feel free to consult the
ICEcreamers.
We are keen to enhance the balanced, inclusive and diverse nature of the ICE
community, and would particularly encourage female colleagues and members of
other underrepresented groups to submit their work.
Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair
(<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2017>https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2017).
=== Publications ===
Accepted research papers and communications must be presented at the workshop
by one of the authors.
Accepted research papers will be published after the workshop in Electronic
Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
(<http://eptcs.org/>http://eptcs.org/).
We plan to invite authors of selected papers and brief announcements to submit
their work ina special issue in the Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in
Programming (Elsevier). Such contributions will be regularly peer-reviewed
according to the standard journal policy, but they will be handled in a shorter
time than regular submissions. A list of published and in preparation special
issues of previous ICE editions is reported below.
