======================================================================= Call for Papers 10th International Conference on Reversible Computation (RC 2018) September 13-14, 2018, Leicester, UK Abstract Submission: April 10, 2018 Submission Deadline: April 17, 2018 http://www.reversible-computation.org ======================================================================= Research in reversible computation has drawn the attention of researchers over the years. Reversible computation has a growing number of promising application areas such as low power design, coding/decoding, testing and verification, database recovery, discrete event simulation, reversible specification formalisms, reversible programming languages, process algebras, quantum computation, etc. First reversible circuits and quantum circuits have been implemented and are seen as promising alternatives to conventional CMOS technology. The conference will bring together researchers from computer science, mathematics, and physics to discuss new developments and directions for future research in Reversible Computation. This includes applications of reversibility in quantum computation. Research papers, tutorials, tool demonstrations, and work-in-progress reports are within the scope of the conference. Invited talks by leading international experts will complete the programme. Contributions on all areas of Reversible Computation are welcome, including - but not limited to - the following topics: * Applications * Architectures * Algorithms * Circuit Design * Debugging * Fault Tolerance and Error Correction * Hardware * Information Theory * Physical Realizations * Programming Languages * Quantum Computation * Software * Synthesis * Theoretical Results * Testing * Verification ===== Important Dates ===== - Abstract Submission: Tuesday April 10th, 2018 - Submission Deadline: Tuesday April 17th, 2018 - Notification to Authors: Tuesday May 29th, 2018 - Final Version: Tuesday June 12th, 2018 - Conference: September 13th and 14th, 2018 ===== Invited speakers ===== * Michael P Frank (Sandia National Laboratories, USA) * Ivan Lanese (University of Bologna/INRIA, Italy) * Norman Margolus (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA) * Nicolas Ollinger (University of Orleans, France) ===== Paper submission ===== Interested researchers are invited to submit full research papers (16 pages maximum), as well as work-in-progress or tool demonstration papers (6 pages maximum) in Springer LNCS format. Some of the submissions can be accepted for poster presentation as well, and will appear in the proceedings with 4 pages maximum. Contributions must be written in English and report on original, unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere. Additional material intended for reviewers but not for publication in the final version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit. Reviewers are at liberty to ignore appendices and papers must be understandable without them. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers for technical merit, originality, significance and relevance to the scope of the conference. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published by Springer as an Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volume. Authors are invited to submit their papers via the EasyChair system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rc2018 At least an abstract of the work needs to be pre-submitted by the abstract submission deadline. ===== Programme Chairs ===== Irek Ulidowski (University of Leicester, UK) Jarkko Kari (University of Turku, Finland) ===== Programme Committee ===== * Gerhard Dueck (University of New Brunswick, Canada) * Carla Ferreira (Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Portugal) * Michael P Frank (Sandia National Laboratories, USA) * Anahi Gajardo (Universidad de Concepción, Chile) * Robert Glück (University of Copenhagen, Denmark) * Mozammel Huq Azad Khan (East West University, Bangladesh) * Ivan Lanese (University of Bologna, Italy) * Claudio Antares Mezzina (IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, Italy) * Claudio Moraga (TU Dortmund University, Germany) * Ulrik Pagh Schultz (University of Southern Denmark, Denmark) * Iain Phillips (Imperial College London, UK) * Krzysztof Podlaski (University of Lodz, Poland) * Mariusz Rawski (Warsaw University of Technology, Poland) * Ville Salo (University of Turku, Finland) * Peter Selinger (Dalhousie University, Canada) * Mathias Soeken (EPFL, Switzerland) * Michael Kirkedal Thomsen (University of Copenhagen, Denmark) * Germán Vidal (Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain) * Robert Wille (Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria) * Shigeru Yamashita (Ritsumeikan University, Japan) * Tetsuo Yokoyama (Nanzan University, Japan) ===== Conference Organizer ===== Irek Ulidowski (University of Leicester, UK) i...@leicester.ac.uk i...@reversible-computation.org http://www.reversible-computation.org
