    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 Intereaction 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, 
friendly, and constructive discussion amongst authors and PC members in 
an online forum.

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 PC members not in conflict with the submission 
(the forum preserves anonymity). The forum is used by reviewers to ask 
questions, clarifications, and modifications from the authors, allowing 
them better to explain and to improve 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 nine 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.

ICE adopts a light double-blind reviewing process, detailed below.


    Submission Guidelines

We invite two types of submissions:

  *

    *Research papers*, original contributions that will be published in
    the workshop post-proceedings. Research papers must not be
    simultaneously submitted to other conferences/workshops with
    refereed proceedings. Research papers should be 3-16 pages plus at
    most 2 pages of references. Short research papers are welcome; for
    example a 5 page short paper fits this category perfectly.

  *

    *Oral communications* will be presented at the workshop, but will
    not appear in the post-proceedings. This type of contribution
    includes e.g. previously published contributions, preliminary work,
    and position papers. There is no strict page limit for this kind of
    submission but papers of 1-5 pages would be appreciated. For
    example, a one page summary of previously published work is welcome
    in this category.

Authors of research papers must omit their names and institutions from 
the title page, they should refer to their other work in the third 
person and omit acknowledgements that could reveal their identity or 
affiliation. The purpose is to avoid any bias based on authors’ identity 
characteristics, such as gender, seniority, or nationality, in the 
review process. Our goal is to facilitate an unbiased approach to 
reviewing by supporting reviewers’ access to works that do not carry 
obvious references to the authors’ identities. As mentioned above, this 
is a lightweight double-blind process. Anonymization should not be a 
heavy burden for authors, and should not make papers weaker or more 
difficult to review. Advertising the paper on alternate forums (e.g., on 
a personal web-page, pre-print archive, email, talks, discussions with 
colleagues) is permitted, and authors will not be penalized by for such 
advertisement.

Papers in the “Oral communications” category need not be anonymized. For 
any questions concerning the double blind process, feel free to consult 
the ICEcreamers.

We are keen to enhance the balanced, inclusive and diverse nature of the 
ICE community, and would particularly encourage female colleagues and 
members of other underrepresented groups to submit their work.

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair 
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice20190>.


    Publications

Accepted research papers and communications must be presented at the 
workshop by one of the authors.

Accepted research papers will be published after the workshop in 
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science <http://eptcs.org/>.

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 
is reported below.
