WADT is calling for presentations and papers:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://conf.researchr.org/track/wadt-2026/wadt-2026-papers*Call-for-Papers__;Iw!!IBzWLUs!Q7DK30OtSMB4AexjVtGNRawy38LRXOJOcfKBKMuEQpHGOyx2vv7S-S28T06pdYF0rYWmhpwzRqSbUYx_KELMca9sDRgcHCNa2WmXjHj7$
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 a wide range specification
frameworks and programming paradigms, many application areas (including
concurrent, distributed and mobile systems, AI-systems, quantum computing), as
well as the use of AI in specification and verification. Empirical studies and
experience reports from industry are welcome. 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 and verification
* Specification languages, methods, and environments
* Probabilisic, quantum and other quantitative and weighted computing paradigms
* Process calculi and models of concurrent, distributed, and cyber-physical
systems
* Logic and higher-order functional programming
* Runtime verification and monitoring techniques
* Graph transformations, term rewriting, and proof systems
* Formal testing and quality assurance, validation, and verification
* AI for specification and verification
* Specification and verification of AI systems
WORKSHOP FORMAT AND LOCATION
The workshop will be part of the STAF 2026 multi-conference at Rennes, France.
Presentations will be selected on the basis of submitted abstracts.
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract submission: 16 Apr 2026Abstract notification: 30 Apr 2026 Workshop
dates: between 29 June and 3 Jul 2026Full-paper submission: 17 Sep 2026
Full-paper notification: 29 Oct 2026
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 PC co-chairs on the basis of submitted abstracts according to
originality, significance and general interest. Abstracts must not exceed two
pages, excluding references, in LNCS format. If a longer version of the
contribution is available, it can be made accessible on the web and referenced
in the abstract.
The abstracts will have to be submitted electronically via
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://easychair.org/my2/conference?conf=staf2026__;!!IBzWLUs!Q7DK30OtSMB4AexjVtGNRawy38LRXOJOcfKBKMuEQpHGOyx2vv7S-S28T06pdYF0rYWmhpwzRqSbUYx_KELMca9sDRgcHCNa2fe-i0mA$
POST-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. The selection of papers will be based on originality, significance,
and rigour of the presented ideas and results. The post-proceedings are
typically published in the SpringerLecture Notes in Computer Science series.
SPONSORSHIP
The workshop takes place under the auspices of IFIP WG 1.3.
