<div class="">** Aims and Scope **</div>
<div class="">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. In 2020 WADT features additionally two special thematic tracks: one in *Algebra for timed and hybrid systems* and another in *Algebraic
approaches to quantum computation*. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">** Main track ** </div>
<div class="">Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest for the main track are:</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- Foundations of algebraic specification</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- Other approaches to formal specification, including process calculi and models of concurrent and distributed systems</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- Specification languages, methods, and environments</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- Semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- Integration of formal specification techniques</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- Formal testing and quality assurance, validation, and verification</div>

<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- observational notions of equivalence,</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- equational reasoning and variants thereof,</div>

<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- modal and temporal logic,</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- (co)algebraic verification tools,</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- experience reports on the use of (co)algebraic tools.</div>

<div class="">WADT'22 is planned to be realized in a family-owned guesthouse with panoramic views to lagoon Pateira de Fermentelos, 20 minutes from the centre of Aveiro. Information about accommodation will be available in
<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://wadt2022.web.ua.pt__;!!IBzWLUs!FsgMAFhrEHGH6Lzk74FDiTeFXtq1SZS9L-vsblaCZO1q7E-94oJQ9O_7ankWhFL-LD73WIDE2_G1Bg$" class="">http://wadt2022.web.ua.pt</a>. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Being planned as a physical, in-person event, due the COVID19 current situation, we will provide certain support for remote presence, both for speakers and for other participants who are unable or unwilling to come, depending on the pandemic situation.</div>
