====================================================================== LAST CALL FOR PAPERS - New extension to abstract submission deadline!
WADT 2018 24th International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques http://wadt18.cs.rhul.ac.uk July 2–5, 2018, Royal Holloway University of London, Egham, UK AND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - Programme now available! Leverhulme School on Graph Transformation Techniques 2018 http://wadt18.cs.rhul.ac.uk/lsgt June 29–July 1, 2018, Royal Holloway University of London, Egham, UK ====================================================================== AIMS AND SCOPE The algebraic approach to system specification encompasses many aspects of the formal design of software systems. Originally born as a formal method for reasoning about abstract data types, it now covers new specification frameworks and programming paradigms (such as object-oriented, aspect-oriented, agent-oriented, logic and higher-order functional programming) as well as a wide range of application areas (including information systems, concurrent, distributed and mobile systems). The workshop will provide an opportunity to present recent and ongoing work, to meet colleagues, and to discuss new ideas and future trends. TOPICS OF INTEREST Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest are: – Foundations of algebraic specification – Other approaches to formal specification, including process calculi and models of concurrent, distributed, and cyber-physical systems – Specification languages, methods, and environments – Semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques – Model-driven development – Graph transformations, term rewriting, and proof systems – Integration of formal specification techniques – Formal testing and quality assurance, validation, and verification – Algebraic approaches to cognitive sciences, including computational creativity WORKSHOP FORMAT AND LOCATION The workshop will take place over four days, Monday to Thursday, at Royal Holloway University of London in Egham, UK (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk). Presentations will be selected on the basis of submitted abstracts. Leverhulme School on Graph Transformation Techniques This occurrence of the ADT workshop will be preceded by the Leverhulme School on Graph Transformation Techniques. The school will take place over three days, from Friday, June 29th, to Sunday, July 1st, and will comprise a self-contained series of invited lectures on graph transformation to be given by Reiko Heckel (University of Leicester, UK), Fernando Orejas (Technical University of Catalonia, Spain), and Detlef Plump (University of York, UK). INVITED SPEAKERS Artur d'Avila Garcez (City, University of London, UK) Rolf Hennicker (LMU Munich, Germany) Kai-Uwe Kühnberger (Osnabrück University, Germany) Fernando Orejas (Technical University of Catalonia, Spain) IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline for abstracts: May 18th, 2018 Notification of acceptance: May 25th, 2018 Early registration: June 1st, 2018 Final abstract due: June 8th, 2018 Leverhulme School on Graph Transformation Techniques: June 29–July 1, 2018 ADT Workshop: July 2–5, 2018 SUBMISSIONS The scientific programme of the workshop will include presentations of recent results or ongoing research as well as invited talks. The presentations will be selected by the Steering Committee on the basis of submitted abstracts according to originality, significance and general interest. Abstracts must not exceed two pages including references; if a longer version of the contribution is available, it can be made accessible on the web and referenced in the abstract. Abstracts have to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wadt18. PROCEEDINGS After the workshop, authors will be invited to submit full papers for the refereed proceedings. All submissions will be reviewed by the Programme Committee. Selection will be based on originality, soundness, and significance of the presented ideas and results. The proceedings will be published as a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (Springer). The deadline for submissions will be September 3, 2018, with notifications by October 29. Camera-ready versions will be required by November 11. SPONSORSHIP The workshop takes place under the auspices of IFIP WG 1.3, while the series of graph-transformation lectures is supported by a Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professorship.
