2nd Call for Papers
13th Conference on Reversible Computation
(RC 2021)

July 7th-8th, 2021, Nagoya, Japan (the conference will be held online)
Abstract Submission: Sun, February 14th, 2021
Submission Deadline: Sun, February 21st, 2021

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

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

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

In order to submit a paper to Reversible Computation conference, please 
follow these guidelines:

* You can submit full research papers (16 pages maximum), tutorials (16 
pages maximum), as well as work-in-progress or tool demonstration papers 
(6 pages maximum). Please do not forget to clearly indicate the type of 
your submission by choosing the proper category on the submission page.

* Additional material intended for reviewers but not for publication in 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.

* The paper submission will be accepted as a PDF file using the LNCS 
style. Further information on the style is available at

http://www.springer.com/gb/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

* All accepted research papers will be published in Springer's Lecture 
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

* Author(s) of accepted papers are expected to participate in the 
conference and to present their papers. We would appreciate if one 
person would not present more than two papers at the conference. If more 
than two papers are accepted by a group of authors, we kindly ask that 
the papers be presented by different co-authors, as far as possible.

* PC chairs and general chairs are not permitted to submit papers to the 
conference.

If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask us 
(info at reversible-computation.org).
