=== Scope ===

Interaction and Concurrency Experiences (ICEs) is a series of international
scientific meetings oriented to theoretical computer science researchers
with special interest in models, verification, tools, and programming
primitives for complex interactions.

The general scope of the venue includes theoretical and applied aspects of
interactions and the synchronization mechanisms used among components of
concurrent/distributed systems, related to several areas of computer
science in the broad spectrum ranging from formal specification and
analysis to studies inspired by emerging computational models.

We solicit contributions relevant to Interaction and Concurrency, including
but not limited to:
* Formal semantics
* Process algebras and calculi
* Models and languages
* Protocols
* Logics and types
* Expressiveness
* Model transformations
* Tools, implementations, and experiments
* Specification and verification
* Coinductive techniques
* Tools and techniques for automation
* Synthesis techniques


=== Selection Procedure ===

Since its first edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has been
an innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive discussion
amongst authors and PC members.

During the review phase, each submission is published on a dedicated
discussion forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors of
the submission and by all the PC members not in conflict with the
submission (the forum preserves anonymity of reviewers). The forum is used
by reviewers to ask questions and clarifications to the authors, allowing
them to better explain all the aspects of their submission. The evaluation
of the submission will take into account not only the reviews, but also the
outcome of the discussion.

As witnessed by the past seven editions of ICE, this procedure considerably
improves the accuracy of the reviews, the fairness of the selection, the
quality of camera-ready papers, and the discussion during the workshop.


=== Submission Guidelines ===

We invite for three types of submissions:
(1) Full Papers;
(2) Short Papers;
(3) Brief Announcements of already Published Papers.

Full and short papers will appear in the post-proceedings and must report
previously unpublished work and not be simultaneously submitted to other
conferences/workshops with refereed proceedings. The ICE 2015
post-proceedings will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical
Computer Science (http://eptcs.org/). In addition, we invite brief
announcements of already published results, should the authors be
interested in discussing their published research with the ICE community
and giving a talk. Brief announcements will not be part of the
post-proceedings.

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair (
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2015). Full papers should not
exceed 15 pages in length, while short papers and brief announcements
should not exceed 5 pages with the EPTCS style (http://style.eptcs.org/).

Accepted (full and short) papers and brief announcements must be presented
at the workshop by one of the authors.


=== Special Issue ===

We plan to invite extended versions of selected full papers to a special
issue in a highly-reputed journal. Such contributions will be regularly
peer-reviewed according to the standard journal policy, but they will be
handled in a shorter time than regular submissions. A list of special
issues of previous ICE editions already published or in preparation can be
found below.
