CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - Programme now available!

Leverhulme School on Graph Transformation Techniques 2018
http://wadt18.cs.rhul.ac.uk/lsgt
June 29–July 1, 2018, Royal Holloway University of London, Egham, UK
======================================================================

AIMS AND SCOPE

The algebraic approach to system specification encompasses many aspects 
of the formal design of software systems. Originally born as a formal 
method for reasoning about abstract data types, it now covers new 
specification frameworks and programming paradigms (such as 
object-oriented, aspect-oriented, agent-oriented, logic and higher-order 
functional programming) as well as a wide range of application areas 
(including information systems, concurrent, distributed and mobile 
systems). The workshop will provide an opportunity to present recent and 
ongoing work, to meet colleagues, and to discuss new ideas and future 
trends.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest are:
– Foundations of algebraic specification
– Other approaches to formal specification, including process calculi 
and models of concurrent, distributed, and cyber-physical systems
– Specification languages, methods, and environments
– Semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques
– Model-driven development
– Graph transformations, term rewriting, and proof systems
– Integration of formal specification techniques
– Formal testing and quality assurance, validation, and verification
– Algebraic approaches to cognitive sciences, including computational 
creativity

WORKSHOP FORMAT AND LOCATION

The workshop will take place over four days, Monday to Thursday, at 
Royal Holloway University of London in Egham, UK 
(https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk).
Presentations will be selected on the basis of submitted abstracts.

Leverhulme School on Graph Transformation Techniques

This occurrence of the ADT workshop will be preceded by the Leverhulme 
School on Graph Transformation Techniques. The school will take place 
over three days, from Friday, June 29th, to Sunday, July 1st, and will 
comprise a self-contained series of invited lectures on graph 
transformation to be given by Reiko Heckel (University of Leicester, 
UK), Fernando Orejas (Technical University of Catalonia, Spain), and 
Detlef Plump (University of York, UK).

INVITED SPEAKERS

Artur d'Avila Garcez (City, University of London, UK)
Rolf Hennicker (LMU Munich, Germany)
Kai-Uwe Kühnberger (Osnabrück University, Germany)
Fernando Orejas (Technical University of Catalonia, Spain)

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline for abstracts: May 18th, 2018
Notification of acceptance: May 25th, 2018
Early registration: June 1st, 2018
Final abstract due: June 8th, 2018
Leverhulme School on Graph Transformation Techniques: June 29–July 1, 2018
ADT Workshop: July 2–5, 2018

SUBMISSIONS

The scientific programme of the workshop will include presentations of 
recent results or ongoing research as well as invited talks. The 
presentations will be selected by the Steering Committee on the basis of 
submitted abstracts according to originality, significance and general 
interest. Abstracts must not exceed two pages including references; if a 
longer version of the contribution is available, it can be made 
accessible on the web and referenced in the abstract.

Abstracts have to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair system 
at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wadt18.

PROCEEDINGS

After the workshop, authors will be invited to submit full papers for 
the refereed proceedings. All submissions will be reviewed by the 
Programme Committee. Selection will be based on originality, soundness, 
and significance of the presented ideas and results. The proceedings 
will be published as a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science 
(Springer).

The deadline for submissions will be September 3, 2018, with 
notifications by October 29. Camera-ready versions will be required by 
November 11.

SPONSORSHIP

The workshop takes place under the auspices of IFIP WG 1.3, while the 
series of graph-transformation lectures is supported by a Leverhulme 
Trust Visiting Professorship.
