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

12th Conference on Reversible Computation
(RC 2020)
Deadline extension

July 9th-10th, 2020, Oslo, Norway
Abstract Submission: Feburary 7th, 2020 (extended)
Submission Deadline: February 14th, 2020 (extended)

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

Reversible computation has a growing number of promising application areas 
such as low power design, coding/decoding, debugging, testing and 
verification, 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 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 program. Contributions on all areas of Reversible Computation are 
welcome, including---but not limited to---the following topics:

* Applications
* Architectures
* Algorithms
* Bidirectional transformations
* Circuit Design
* Debugging
* Fault Tolerance and Error Correction
* Hardware
* Information Theory
* Physical Realizations
* Programming Languages
* Quantum Computation
* Software
* Synthesis
* Theoretical Results
* Testing
* Verification

===== Important Dates =====

Abstract submission:     February 7, 2020 (extended)
Submission deadline:     February 14, 2020 (extended)
Notification to authors: March 20, 2020
Final version:           April 10, 2020
Conference:              July 9 - July 10, 2020

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

Marek Perkowski (Portland State University, US)
Perdita Stevens (University of Edinburgh, Scotland)

===== Special issue =====

After the conference, 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).

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

Interested researchers are invited to submit full research papers (16
pages maximum), tutorials (16 pages maximum), as well as
work-in-progress or tool demonstration papers (6 pages maximum) in
Springer LNCS format.  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.
Contributions must be written in English and report on original,
unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions
not adhering to the specified constraints may be rejected without
review. Each paper will undergo a peer review of at least 3 anonymous
reviewers. All accepted papers will be included in the conference
proceedings and published by Springer as a Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) volume. Papers can be submitted electronically in pdf
via the RC 2020 interface of the EasyChair system:
