Final Call for Papers
8th Conference on Reversible Computation
(RC 2016)

July 7th-8th, 2016, Bologna, Italy
Abstract Submission: Sun, February 7th, 2016 AoE (extended)
Submission Deadline: Sun, February 14th, 2016 AoE (extended)
http://www.reversible-computation.org

Highlights: LNCS proceedings confirmed and SCP special issue

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

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 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

===== Invited speakers =====

* Samson Abramsky (University of Oxford)
* Adam Whiteside (University of Melbourne & Google), presenting joint work with 
Austin Fowler (Google)

===== Paper submission =====

Contributions must be written in English and report on original, unpublished 
work, not submitted for publication elsewhere. The submissions must be prepared 
using Springer's LNCS style. Submissions not adhering to the specified 
constraints may be rejected without review. Papers can be submitted 
electronically in pdf via the RC 2016 interface of the EasyChair system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rc2016

We solicit the following kinds of submissions:
- full research papers (16 pages maximum)
- tutorials (16 pages maximum),
- work-in-progress or tool demonstration papers (6 pages maximum).

Additional material intended for reviewers but not for publication in the final 
version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked 
appendix that is not included in the page limit. Reviewers are at liberty to 
ignore appendices and papers must be understandable without them.

Each paper will undergo a peer review of at least 3 anonymous reviewers. The 
conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS Series.

===== Special Issue =====

Authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their 
work to a special issue to be published in Science of Computer Programming 
(Elsevier).
