ICTAC 2016
CALL FOR PAPERS
13th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing (ICTAC 2016)
ICTAC 2016 will be held in the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC
Established in 2004, the ICTAC conference series aims at bringing together practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and government to present research and to exchange ideas and experience addressing challenges in both theoretical aspects of computing and in the exploitation of theory through methods and tools for system development. ICTAC also aims to promote cooperation in research and education between participants and their institutions, from developing and industrial countries.
The topical areas of the conference include, but are not limited to
- Automata theory and formal languages;
- Principles and semantics of programming languages;
- Theories of concurrency, mobility and reconfiguration;
- Logics and their applications;
- Software architectures and their models, refinement and verification;
- Relationship between software requirements, models and code;
- Program static and dynamic analysis and verification;
- Software specification, refinement, verification and testing;
- Model checking and theorem proving;
- Models of object and component systems;
- Coordination and feature interaction;
- Integration of theories, formal methods and tools for engineering computing systems;
- Service-oriented architectures: models and development methods;
- Models of concurrency, security, and mobility;
- Theory of distributed, grid and cloud computing;
- Real-time, embedded, hybrid and cyber-physical systems;
- Type and category theory in computer science;
- Models for learning and education;
- Case studies, theories, tools and experiments of verified systems;
- Domain-specific modeling and technology: examples, frameworks and experience.
- Challenges and foundations in the environmental modeling and monitoring, healthcare, and disaster management.
