 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)

http://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.
