=== Scope ===

Interaction and Concurrency Experiences (ICEs) is a series of international
scientific meetings oriented to theoretical computer science researchers
with special interest in models, verification, tools, and programming
primitives for complex interactions.

The general scope of the venue includes theoretical and applied aspects of
interactions and the synchronization mechanisms used among components of
concurrent/distributed systems, related to several areas of computer
science in the broad spectrum ranging from formal specification and
analysis to studies inspired by emerging computational models.

We solicit contributions relevant to Interaction and Concurrency, including
but not limited to:
* Formal semantics
* Process algebras and calculi
* Models and languages
* Protocols
* Logics and types
* Expressiveness
* Model transformations
* Tools, implementations, and experiments
* Specification and verification
* Coinductive techniques
* Tools and techniques for automation
* Synthesis techniques


=== Selection Procedure ===

Since its first edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has been
an innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive discussion
amongst authors and PC members.

During the review phase, each submission is published in a dedicated
discussion forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors of
the submission and by all the PC members not in conflict with the
submission (the forum preserves anonymity of reviewers). The forum is used
by reviewers to ask questions, clarifications, and modifications from the
authors, allowing them better to explain all aspects of their submission.
The evaluation of the submission will take into account not only the
reviews, but also the outcome of the discussion.

As witnessed by the past eight editions of ICE, this procedure considerably
improves the accuracy of the reviews, the fairness of the selection, the
quality of camera-ready papers, and the discussion during the workshop.

For the first time in ICE 2016 we plan to partially disclose the reviews of
accepted papers. The public part of reviews will be published on the
workshop website, together with the submitted version of the accepted
papers. We believe this mechanism will enhance reviewing transparency and
become yet another trademark of ICE in the following years.


=== Submission Guidelines ===

We invite four types of submissions:
(1) Full Papers;
(2) Short Papers;
(3) Brief Announcements of previously published work;
(4) Brief Announcements of unpublished work.

Full and short papers will appear in the post-proceedings and must report
previously unpublished work and not be simultaneously submitted to other
conferences/workshops with refereed proceedings. The ICE 2016
post-proceedings will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical
Computer Science (http://eptcs.org/). In addition, we invite brief
announcements of already published work or unpublished results, should the
authors be interested in discussing their published research with the ICE
community and giving a talk. Brief announcements will not appear in the
post-proceedings, however they can be made available to participants
(provided that the authors give their consent).

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2016). Full papers should not
exceed 15 pages in length, while short papers should not exceed 5 pages.
Brief announcements of already published work should not exceed one page
abstract which should include an explicit reference to the respective
publication. Brief announcements of unpublished work should not exceed 5
pages. All submissions must be prepared in EPTCS style (
http://style.eptcs.org/).

Accepted (full and short) papers and brief announcements must be presented
at the workshop by one of the authors.


=== Special Issue ===

We plan to invite authors of selected papers and brief announcements to
submit their work in a special issue in the Journal of Logical and
Algebraic Methods in Programming (Elsevier). Such contributions will be
regularly peer-reviewed according to the standard journal policy, but they
will be handled in a shorter time than regular submissions. A list of
published and in preparation special issues of previous ICE editions can be
found below.
