CALL FOR PAPERS
================

9th International Conference on Reversible Computation (RC-2017)
July 6-7, 2017, Pride Plaza Hotel, Kolkata, India
http://www.reversible-computation.org

Research in reversible computation has drawn the attention of
researchers over the years.  Reversible computation has a growing number
of promising application areas such as low power design, testing and
verification, database recovery, discrete event simulation,
reversible specification formalisms, reversible programming languages,
process algebras, quantum computation, etc. Initial implementations of
reversible and quantum circuits have been reported recently and are seen
as promising alternatives to CMOS technology.

The 9th Conference on Reversible Computation will take place during July
6-7, 2017, in Kolkata, India and will be jointly organised by: (a)
Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, (b) Indian Institute of
Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), (c) University of Calcutta,
(d) Indian Statistical Institute Calcutta, and (e) Jadavpur University.
Previous editions of this event took place as workshop in York (2009),
Bremen (2010), Gent (2011), Copenhagen (2012) and was upgraded to a
conference subsequently and held in Victoria (2013), Kyoto (2014),
Grenoble (2015), and Bologna (2016).

The conference will bring together researchers, academicians and
students from computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, and
physics to discuss new developments and directions for future research
in reversible computation. This particularly includes
applications of reversibility in quantum computation. Research papers,
tool demonstrations, work-in-progress reports and poster presentations
are within the scope of the conference. Invited talks by leading
international experts will complete the program. A summer school shall
be conducted on July 5, 2017 specifically targeting the beginners in
this area. The Conference Banquet dinner shall be organised on July 6th
evening, while a Social Event followed by dinner shall be organised on
July 7 evening, which are open to all the conference delegates.

Contributions, not necessarily restricted to the following topics, in
Reversible Computation are invited from prospective authors:
  a) Architectures
  b) Algorithms
  c) Circuit Design
  d) Debugging
  e) Fault Tolerance and Error Correction
  f) Hardware
  g) Information Theory
  h) Physical Realisations
  i) Programming Languages
  j) Quantum Computation
  k) Software
  l) Synthesis
  m) Theoretical Results
  n) Testing
  o) Verification


SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION:
Interested researchers are invited to submit full research papers and
tutorials (16 pages maximum), as well as work-in-progress or tool
demonstration papers (6 pages maximum) in Springer LNCS format through
the Conference website. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at
least three reviewers for technical merit, originality, significance
and relevance to the scope of the conference. All accepted papers will
be included in the conference proceedings and published by Springer as
an Lecture Notes in Computer Science
volume.
