We are pleased to invite you to submit papers for the 16th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing (ICTAC 2019), which will be held from 30th October to 4th November 2019, in Hammamet, Tunisia. The aim of the colloquium is to bring together practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and government to present research results, and exchange experience, ideas, and solutions for their problems in theoretical aspects of computing. ICTAC also aims to promote research cooperation between developing and industrial countries.
The important dates are: Abstracts 5 May 2019 Papers 12 May 2019 Notification 21 July 2019 Final version 11 August 2019 Conference 30 October to 4 November 2019
Proceedings: The proceedings will be published as a volume of Springer's LNCS series. Special issue: Authors of the best contributions will be invited to submit a revised and extended version to a special issue, to be published in Elsevier's Theoretical Computer Science.
Invited Speakers: Thomas A. Henzinger, Institute of Science and Technology, Austria Patrick Cousot, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, USA Dominique MÈry, University of Lorraine, France
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Languages and automata Semantics of programming languages Logic in computer science Lambda calculus, type theory and category theory Domain-specific languages Theories of concurrency and mobility Theories of distributed, grid and cloud computing Models of objects and components Coordination models Models of software architectures Autonomous systems Timed, hybrid, embedded and cyber-physical systems Static analysis Software verification Software testing Program generation and transformation Model checking and automated theorem proving Interactive theorem proving Verified software, formalized programming theory
We solicit the following types of papers: - Regular papers, with original research contributions; - Short papers, with original work in progress or with proposals of new ideas and emerging challenges; - Tool papers, on tools that support formal techniques for software modeling, system design, and verification.
Submissions must adhere to the LNCS format. Regular papers should not exceed 18 pages (excluding bibliography of maximum 2 pages). Short and tool papers should not exceed 10 pages.
Submissions must not have been published or be under consideration 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.
Each paper submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the Programme Committee. All contributions to ICTAC 2019 have to be submitted electronically in PDF format via Easy Chair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ictac2019)and have to follow the Springer LNCS paper format. One author of each accepted paper must attend the conference to present it, having paid the regular registration fee.
The ICTAC committee will evaluate and select the best paper award winner. The winner will receive an award.
