Call for Papers

10th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering (TASE 2016)

July 17-19, 2016, Shanghai, China | http://tase2016.ecnu.edu.cn

Important dates

• Abstract research paper: 10 January 2016
• Submission research paper: 17 January 2016 (strict)
• Author notification: 20 March 2016
• Camera ready copy: 10 April 2016

Objectives and scope

TASE is an international symposium that aims to bring together researchers and developers from academia and industry with interests in the theoretical aspects of software engineering. Modern society is increasingly dependent on software systems that are becoming larger and more complex. This poses new challenges to current software engineering methodologies that need to be enhanced using modern results from theoretical computer science.

We invite submissions of research papers on topics covering all theoretical aspects of software engineering, including, but not limited to, the following:

+ Abstract interpretation
+ Algebraic and co-algebraic specifications
+ Aspect oriented software
+ Component-based systems
+ Cyber-physical systems
+ Deductive verification
+ Distributed and concurrent systems
+ Embedded and real-time systems
+ Feature-oriented software
+ Formal verification and program semantics
+ Integration of formal methods
+ Language design
+ Model checking and theorem proving
+ Object-oriented systems
+ Program logics and calculi
+ Quantum computation
+ Run-time verification and monitoring
+ Service-oriented and cloud computing
+ Software architecture
+ Software testing and quality assurance
+ Software security and reliability
+ Static analysis of programs
+ Type systems and behavioural typing
+ Tools exploiting theoretical results

Submission guidelines

We solicit contributions that describe original and unpublished research, and should not be submitted for publication elsewhere. They are limited to 8 pages, must be written in English, and the format should adhere to the A4 double column IEEE style. Please prepare your manuscripts with respect to the IEEE guidelines. Papers should be submitted electronically as a PDF file via the Easychair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tase2016.

The proceedings of the TASE 2016 symposium will include all accepted papers and will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press (approval
pending). The authors of selected papers will be invited after the symposium to submit an extended version to a journal special issue.
