LAST CALL FOR PAPERS - New extension to abstract submission deadline!
WADT 2018
24th International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques

July 2–5, 2018, Royal Holloway University of London, Egham, UK
AND
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - Programme now available!
Leverhulme School on Graph Transformation Techniques 2018
http://wadt18.cs.rhul.ac.uk/lsgt
June 29–July 1, 2018, Royal Holloway University of London, Egham, UK
======================================================================
AIMS AND SCOPE
The algebraic approach to system specification encompasses many aspects
of the formal design of software systems. Originally born as a formal
method for reasoning about abstract data types, it now covers new
specification frameworks and programming paradigms (such as
object-oriented, aspect-oriented, agent-oriented, logic and higher-order
functional programming) as well as a wide range of application areas
(including information systems, concurrent, distributed and mobile
systems). The workshop will provide an opportunity to present recent and
ongoing work, to meet colleagues, and to discuss new ideas and future
trends.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest are:
– Foundations of algebraic specification
– Other approaches to formal specification, including process calculi
and models of concurrent, distributed, and cyber-physical systems
– Specification languages, methods, and environments
– Semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques
– Model-driven development
– Graph transformations, term rewriting, and proof systems
– Integration of formal specification techniques
– Formal testing and quality assurance, validation, and verification
– Algebraic approaches to cognitive sciences, including computational
creativity
WORKSHOP FORMAT AND LOCATION
The workshop will take place over four days, Monday to Thursday, at
Royal Holloway University of London in Egham, UK
(https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk).
Presentations will be selected on the basis of submitted abstracts.
Leverhulme School on Graph Transformation Techniques
This occurrence of the ADT workshop will be preceded by the Leverhulme
School on Graph Transformation Techniques. The school will take place
over three days, from Friday, June 29th, to Sunday, July 1st, and will
comprise a self-contained series of invited lectures on graph
transformation to be given by Reiko Heckel (University of Leicester,
UK), Fernando Orejas (Technical University of Catalonia, Spain), and
Detlef Plump (University of York, UK).
INVITED SPEAKERS
Artur d'Avila Garcez (City, University of London, UK)
Rolf Hennicker (LMU Munich, Germany)
Kai-Uwe Kühnberger (Osnabrück University, Germany)
Fernando Orejas (Technical University of Catalonia, Spain)
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline for abstracts: May 18th, 2018
Notification of acceptance: May 25th, 2018
Early registration: June 1st, 2018
Final abstract due: June 8th, 2018
Leverhulme School on Graph Transformation Techniques: June 29–July 1, 2018
ADT Workshop: July 2–5, 2018
SUBMISSIONS
The scientific programme of the workshop will include presentations of
recent results or ongoing research as well as invited talks. The
presentations will be selected by the Steering Committee on the basis of
submitted abstracts according to originality, significance and general
interest. Abstracts must not exceed two pages including references; if a
longer version of the contribution is available, it can be made
accessible on the web and referenced in the abstract.
Abstracts have to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair system
at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wadt18.
PROCEEDINGS
After the workshop, authors will be invited to submit full papers for
the refereed proceedings. All submissions will be reviewed by the
Programme Committee. Selection will be based on originality, soundness,
and significance of the presented ideas and results. The proceedings
will be published as a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(Springer).
The deadline for submissions will be September 3, 2018, with
notifications by October 29. Camera-ready versions will be required by
November 11.
SPONSORSHIP
The workshop takes place under the auspices of IFIP WG 1.3, while the
series of graph-transformation lectures is supported by a Leverhulme
Trust Visiting Professorship.
