[DMANET] 2nd CfP: SCSS 2014

SCSS 2014
Symbolic Computation in Software Science
6th International Symposium

Second Call for Papers

Gammarth, La Marsa, Tunisia, December 7-11, 2014
http://www.easychair.org/smart-program/SCSS2014/

Scope
--------
The purpose of SCSS 2014 is to promote research on theoretical and
practical aspects of symbolic computation in software science. The
symposium provides a forum for active dialog between researchers from
several fields of computer algebra, algebraic geometry, algorithmic
combinatorics, computational logic, and software analysis and verification.

SCSS 2014 solicits both regular and tool papers on all aspects of
symbolic computation and their applications in software science. The
topics of the symposium include, but are not limited to the following:

- automated reasoning
- algorithm (program) synthesis and/or verification
- formal methods for the analysis of network security
- termination analysis and complexity analysis of algorithms (programs)
- extraction of specifications from algorithms (programs)
- theorem proving methods and techniques
- proof carrying code
- generation of inductive assertion for algorithm (programs)
- algorithm (program) transformations
- formalization and computerization of knowledge (maths, medicine,
economy, etc.)
- component-based programming
- computational origami
- query languages (in particular for XML documents)
- semantic web and cloud computing

Submission
----------
Submission is via EasyChair:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scss2014

Submissions are invited in two categories: regular research papers and
tool papers.

- Regular research papers must not exceed 12 pages in the EasyChair
Class format, with up to 3 additional pages for technical appendices.
- Tool papers must not exceed 6 pages in the EasyChair Class format.

Publication
----------
The proceedings will be published in the EasyChair Proceedings in
Computing. We plan also to have a special issue of the Journal of
Symbolic Computation on SCSS 2014. The full version of selected papers
will be considered for the publication of the special issue subjected to
the normal peer review process of the journal.
