SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
5th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing (ICTAC 2008)
=============================================================================
1-3 September 2008 The Marmara, Istanbul, Turkey
(Tutorials & Workshops 30-31 August 2008, Sabanci University, Istanbul)
www.ictac.net/ictac08
The ICTAC series, founded by the United Nations University's International
Institute of Software Technology (UNU-IIST), brings 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. A further aim is to promote cooperation in research and
education between participants and institutions from developing and industrial
countries, as in the United Nations University's mandate. The previous four
ICTAC events were held in Guiyang, China (2004), Hanoi, Vietnam (2005), Tunis,
Tunisia (2006) and Macau (2007).
In 2008, topics include, but are not limited to:
- software specification, refinement, verification and testing
- model checking and theorem proving
- software architectures
- coordination and feature interaction
- integration of theories, formal and engineering methods and tools
- models of concurrency, security, and mobility
- parallel, distributed, and internet-based (grid) computing
- real-time, embedded and hybrid systems
- automata theory and formal languages
- principles and semantics of languages
- logics and their applications
- type and category theory in computer science
- case studies, theories, tools and experiments of verified systems
- service-oriented architectures: models and development methods
- domain modelling and domain-specific technology: examples, frameworks and
experience
We particularly welcome submissions for a special track on Tool Support for
Formal Methods of System Development: from the foundations of tools, through
their design to application and evaluation.
Paper Submissions
-----------------
Submissions to the conference 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, and relevance to the conference. Papers should be in English and
should not exceed 15 pages LNCS format (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). Submission
constitutes a commitment to attend and present a paper, if accepted.
Proceedings of the previous ICTAC colloquia were published by Springer in the
LNCS series. We plan to do the same this year.
