========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS: CALCO-Tools 2011 CALCO-Tools part of CALCO 2011 August 30 - September 2, 2011 Winchester, UK http://calco2011.ecs.soton.ac.uk/workshops/calco-tools.html ========================================================================= Paper submission: March 23, 2011 Author notification: April 20, 2011 Final version due: May 18, 2011 ========================================================================= -- SCOPE -- CALCO-Tools 2011 Workshop is dedicated to tools based on algebraic and/or coalgebraic principles or that are emerging from the intersection of the two approaches. These include systems/prototypes/tools developed specifically for design, checking, execution, and verification of (co) algebraic specifications, but also tools targeting different application domains while making core or interesting use of (co)algebraic techniques. The previus CALCO-Tools editions, Bergen (Norway, 2007) and Udine (Italy, 2009), took place in the day preceding the main CALCO conference. This year, CALCO-Tools 2011 will take place on the same dates as the main CALCO conference, with no overlap between the technical programmes of the two events. In this way we achieve the goal of bringing together researchers and practitioners. -- TOPICS OF INTEREST -- We invite submissions of papers that are presenting systems/prototypes/tools on topics included or related to those listed for the main CALCO conference: * Abstract models and logics - Automata and languages - Categorical semantics - Modal logics - Relational systems - Graph transformation - Term rewriting - Adhesive categories * Specialised models and calculi - Hybrid, probabilistic, and timed systems - Calculi and models of concurrent, distributed, mobile, and context-aware computing - General systems theory and computational models (chemical, biological, etc) * Algebraic and coalgebraic semantics - Abstract data types - Inductive and coinductive methods - Re-engineering techniques (program transformation) - Semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques - Semantics of programming languages * System specification and verification - Algebraic and coalgebraic specification - Formal testing and quality assurance - Validation and verification - Generative programming and model-driven development - Models, correctness and (re)configuration of hardware/middleware/architectures, - Process algebra -- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES -- Tool submissions should not exceed 5 pages in LNCS format specified by Springer (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). It is recommended that submissions adhere to that format and length. As with previous editions, the accepted tool papers will be included in the final proceedings of the conference published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The tools should be made available on the web at the time of submission. -- IMPORTANT DATES -- Paper submission: March 23, 2011 Author notification: April 20, 2011 Final version due: May 18, 2011 -- PROGRAMME COMMITTEE -- Paolo Baldan, University of Padova, IT Luis Barbosa, Universidade do Minho, PT Dorel Lucanu (chair), Al. I. Cuza University of Iasi, RO Milad Niqui, CWI, Amsterdam, NL Peter Olveczky, University of Oslo, NO Dirk Pattinson, Imperial College London, UK -- ORGANISING COMMITTEE -- Corina Cirstea (University of Southampton, UK) Dirk Pattinson (Imperial College London, UK) Toby Wilkinson (University of Southampton, UK) -- LOCATION -- Winchester is a beautiful historic city in southern England, known for its 11th-century cathedral and 12th-century castle. It is located just under an hour by rail from London Waterloo, and 15 minutes by road or rail from Southampton Airport. London Heathrow is 50 miles away and London Gatwick 72 miles away. -- FURTHER INFORMATION -- Queries related to submission, reviewing, and programme should be sent to the PC chair. Queries related to the organisation should be emailed to calco2011@ecs.soton.ac.uk The poster can be downloaded from http://calco2011.ecs.soton.ac.uk/workshops/calcotools.jpg http://calco2011.ecs.soton.ac.uk/workshops/calcotools.pdf .
