Call for Papers
 
6th Conference on Reversible Computation
(RC 2014)
 
July 10th and 11th, 2014, Kyoto, Japan
Abstract Submission: February 16th, 2014 (extended)
Submission Deadline: February 23rd, 2014 (extended)

=======================================================================

Reversible computation has a growing number of promising application
areas such as low power design, coding/decoding, program debugging,
testing, database recovery, discrete event simulation, reversible
algorithms, reversible specification formalisms, reversible
programming languages, process algebras, and the modeling of
biochemical systems. Furthermore, reversible logic provides a basis
for quantum computation with its applications, for example, in
cryptography and in the development of highly efficient
algorithms. First reversible circuits and quantum circuits have been
implemented recently and are seen as promising alternatives to
conventional CMOS technology.
 
The conference will bring together researchers from computer science,
mathematics, and physics to discuss new developments and directions
for future research in Reversible Computation. This particularly
includes applications of reversibility in quantum
computation. Research papers, tutorials, tool demonstrations, and
work-in-progress reports are within the scope of the
conference. Contributions on the following topics in Reversible
Computation are welcome:
 
* Applications
* Architectures
* Algorithms
* Circuit Design
* Debugging
* Fault Tolerance and Error Correction
* Hardware
* Information Theory
* Physical Realizations
* Programming Languages
* Quantum Computation
* Software
* Synthesis
* Theoretical Results
* Testing
* Verification
