==================================================ICTAC 20129th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of ComputingURL: http://www.iiitb.ac.in/ictac24 - 27 September 2012, Bangalore, India================================================== The Colloquium will be held at the International Institute ofInformation Technology (IIIT), which is located in Electronics City ofBangalore. It is two hours by car or taxi from Bangalore InternationalAirport. Bangalore is internationally known as the Silicon Valley ofIndia, with many hi-tech companies and research labs. Holding theconference in the Electronics City of Bangalore gives the conferenceparticipants valuable opportunity to discuss and network with thesoftware practitioners and researchers in India's InformationTechnology (IT) hub. This will be further facilitated via an IndustryDay, a special feature of ICTAC 2012.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE--------------------------------------------------Regular and Short Paper submission deadline: 16 April 2012 BACKGROUND-------------------------------------------------ICTAC 2012 is the 9th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspectsof Computing, the latest in a series founded by the InternationalInstitute for Software Technology of the United Nations University(UNU-IIST). ICTAC 2012 will bring together practitioners andresearchers from academia, industry and government to present researchand to exchange ideas and experience addressing challenges in boththeoretical aspects of computing and in the exploitation of theorythrough methods and tools for system development. The other mainpurpose is to promote cooperation in research and education betweenparticipants and their institutions, from developing and industrialcountries, as in the mandate of the United Nations University. TOPICS-------------------------------------------------The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to: * automata theory and formal languages; * principles and semantics of programming languages; * logics and their applications; * software architectures and their description languages; * relationship between software requirements, models and code; * software specification, refinement, verification and testing; * model checking and theorem proving; * formal techniques in software testing; * models of object and component systems; * coordination and feature interaction; * integration of theories, formal methods and tools for engineering computing systems; * service-oriented architectures: models and development methods; * models of concurrency, security, and mobility; * theory of parallel, distributed, grid and cloud computing; * real-time, embedded, hybrid and cyber-physical systems; * type and category theory in computer science; * models for learning and education; * case studies, theories, tools and experiments of verified systems; * domain-specific modeling and technology: examples, frameworks and experience. INDUSTRY DAY-------------------------------------------------ICTAC 2012 will feature an Industry Day, a special feature beingintroduced to the ICTAC colloquium for the first time. One of the daysof the conference is planned to be marked as Industry Day. Theindustry day will feature technical talks from the industryparticipants. These talks will be drawn from the papers submitted andaccepted to the conference; however any such paper must have at leastone co-author from the Industry and must be clearly marked for`Industry Day' during submission. In addition, we plan to have tooldemonstrations and posters by the companies in the exhibitionfloor. Participants from academia will thus also get a chance tomingle with the industry participants in an informal atmosphere,thereby getting a flavor of the ongoing activities in Bangalore's ITindustry. Industry Day Co-chairs: * Sriram Rajamani (Microsoft Research) * Satish Chandra (IBM Research) KEYNOTE SPEAKERS------------------------------------------------- * Gernot Heiser, UNSW (for Industry Day) * Luke Ong, Oxford * Ganesan Ramalingam, Microsoft Research PUBLICATION AND SUBMISSION-------------------------------------------------The proceedings of ICTAC 2012 will be published by Springer in theseries Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and will be availableat the colloquium. A special issue of a journal with extended versionof selected papers from ICTAC 2012 is under negotiation. Submissionsto the colloquium must not have been published or be concurrentlyconsidered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be judgedon the basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical andpresentation quality, and relevance to the conference. Submissionscan be either Regular Papers or Short Papers. Short papers canpresent recent or ongoing work or discuss new ideas which are at anearly stage of development and have not been thoroughly evaluated yet.Papers should be written in English. Regular Papers should not exceed15 pages and Short Papers should be between 4 and 8 pages in LNCSformat (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html fordetails).
