Call for Papers

10th International Conference on Reversible Computation

(RC 2018)

 

September 13-14, 2018, Leicester, UK

Abstract Submission: April 10, 2018

Submission Deadline: April 17, 2018

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

 

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, coding/decoding, testing and
verification, database recovery, discrete event simulation, reversible
specification formalisms, reversible programming languages, process
algebras, quantum computation, etc. First reversible circuits and quantum
circuits have been implemented 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. Invited talks by leading international experts will complete the
programme.

 

Contributions on all areas of Reversible Computation are welcome, including
- but not limited to - the following topics:

 

* 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

- Submission Deadline: Tuesday April 17th, 2018

- Notification to Authors: Tuesday May 29th, 2018

- Final Version: Tuesday June 12th, 2018

- Conference: September 13th and 14th, 2018

 

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

 

* Michael P Frank (Sandia National Laboratories, USA)

* Ivan Lanese (University of Bologna/INRIA, Italy)

* Norman Margolus (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA)

* Nicolas Ollinger (University of Orleans, France)

 

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

 

Interested researchers are invited to submit full research papers (16 pages
maximum), as well as work-in-progress or tool demonstration papers (6 pages
maximum) in Springer LNCS format. Some of the submissions can be accepted
for poster presentation as well, and will appear in the proceedings with 4
pages maximum. Contributions must be written in English and report on
original, unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere.
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.

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 (LNCS) volume.

 

Authors are invited to submit their papers via the EasyChair system at

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rc2018

At least an abstract of the work needs to be pre-submitted by the abstract
submission deadline.
