=== HIGHLIGHTS ===
* Distinctive selection procedure
* ICE welcomes oral communications of already published or
preliminary work
* Deadlines: 8 May (abstract submission), 11 May (paper submission)
* Invited speakers:
- Cinzia Di Giusto (Université Côte d’Azur, CNRS, I3S, France)
- Karoliina Lehtinen (University of Liverpool, UK)
=== COVID-19 UPDATE ===
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, ICE 2020 will be held online, as
the rest of DisCoTec. No physical meeting/presentations will take
place. Instead, the authors of accepted papers will give their talks
remotely (or record their talks if they prefer), and discuss with the
conference participants online. More details will follow.
=== IMPORTANT DATES (UPDATED) ===
* Oral communications and short papers:
* 8 May 2020: abstract submission
* 11 May 2020: paper submission
* 4 June 2020: notification
* 19-20 June 2020: ICE workshop
=== SCOPE ===
Interaction and Concurrency Experience (ICE) 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,
friendly, and constructive discussion amongst authors and PC members
in an online forum.
During the review phase, each submission is published in a dedicated
discussion forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors
of the submission and by all PC members not in conflict with the
submission (the forum preserves anonymity). The forum is used by
reviewers to ask questions, clarifications, and modifications from the
authors, allowing them better to explain and to improve all 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 nine 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.
ICE adopts a light double-blind reviewing process, detailed below.
=== SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ===
Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via OpenReview:
https://openreview.net/group?id=DisCoTec.org/2020/Workshop/ICE
We invite two types of submissions:
* Research papers, original contributions that will be published
in the workshop post-proceedings. NOTE: the deadline for
research papers has passed
* Oral communications will be presented at the workshop, but will
not appear in the post-proceedings. This type of contribution
includes e.g. previously published contributions, preliminary
work, and position papers. There is no strict page limit for
this kind of submission but papers of 1-5 pages would be
appreciated. For example, a one page summary of previously
published work is welcome in this category.
Papers in the “Oral communications” category need not be
anonymized. For any questions concerning the double blind process,
feel free to consult the ICEcreamers.
We are keen to enhance the balanced, inclusive and diverse nature of
the ICE community, and would particularly encourage female colleagues
and members of other underrepresented groups to submit their work.
