Starting in 2005, CALCO will bring together researchers and practitioners to exchange new results related to foundational aspects and both traditional and emerging uses of algebras and coalgebras in computer science. CALCO 2005 will be preceded by a CALCO Young Researchers Workshop, CALCO-jnr, dedicated to presentations by PhD students and by those who completed their doctoral studies within the past few years (see www.cs.swan.ac.uk/calco-jnr/ for details). Topics of Interest ------------------ We invite submission of technical papers that report results of theoretical work on the mathematics of algebras and coalgebras, the way these results can support methods and techniques for software development, as well as experience with the transition of resulting technologies into industrial practise. We encourage submissions in topics included or related to those in the lists below. Algebras and coalgebras as mathematical objects: Automata and languages Categorical semantics Hybrid, probabilistic, and timed systems Inductive and coinductive methods Modal logics Relational systems and term rewriting Algebras and coalgebras in computer science: Abstract data types Algebraic and coalgebraic specification Calculi and models of concurrent, distributed, mobile, and context-aware computing Formal testing and quality assurance General systems theory and computational models (chemical, biological, etc) Generative programming and model-driven development Models, correctness and (re)configuration of hardware/middleware/architectures Re-engineering techniques (program transformation) Semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques Semantics of programming languages Validation and verification Submission Guidelines --------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers in English presenting original research. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Experience papers are welcome, but they must clearly present general lessons learned that would be of interest and benefit to a broad audience of both researchers and practitioners. Proceedings will be published in the Springer LNCS series. Final papers will be no more than 15 pages long in the format specified by Springer. It is recommended that submissions adhere to that format and length (see at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submissions that are clearly too long may be rejected immediately. Proofs omitted due to space limitations may be included in a clearly marked appendix. Paper submissions will be made electronically at he conference web site. Both an abstract and the full paper must be submitted by their respective submission deadlines. A special issue of Theoretical Computer Science consisting of extended versions of selected papers will be produced after the conference if there are enough good papers that can be extended and revised to the standards of this journal. Invited Speakers ---------------- The so-far confirmed invited speakers for CALCO 05 are: * Samson Abramsky, Christopher Strachey Professor of Computer Science, University of Oxford, UK. * Vladimiro Sassone, Professor of Informatics, University of Sussex, UK.

Swansea is located at the centre of the South Wales coastline, next to the Gower peninsula, renowned for its dramatic coastal scenery and beaches. The conference will be held on the Swansea University campus overlooking the sea. Accommodation will be available in newly built halls of residence and also in a small selection of good quality hotels. A full social programme drawing on the culture of the area will complement the scientific event.
