With the support of IFIP WG1.3 on Foundations of System Specification

CMCS – the International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer
Science, and WADT – the Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques,
are joining their forces and reputations into a new high-level
bi-annual conference. Starting in 2005, CALCO will bring together
researchers and practitioners to exchange new results related to
foundational aspects and both traditional and emerging uses of
algebras and coalgebras in computer science.

Topics of Interest
------------------
We invite submission of technical papers that report results of
theoretical work on the mathematics of algebras and coalgebras, the
way these results can support methods and techniques for software
development, as well as experience with the transition of resulting
technologies into industrial practice. We encourage submissions in
topics included or related to those in the lists below.

Algebras and coalgebras as mathematical objects:
   Automata and languages
   Categorical semantics
   Hybrid, probabilistic, and timed systems
   Inductive and coinductive methods
   Modal logics
   Relational systems and term rewriting

Algebras and coalgebras in computer science:
   Abstract data types
   Algebraic and coalgebraic specification
   Calculi and models of concurrent, distributed,
     mobile, and context-aware computing
   Formal testing and quality assurance
   General systems theory and
     computational models (chemical, biological, etc)
   Generative programming and model-driven development
   Models, correctness and (re)configuration of
      hardware/middleware/architectures
   Re-engineering techniques (program transformation)
   Semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques
   Semantics of programming languages
   Validation and verification

Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers in English
presenting original research. Submitted papers must be unpublished and
not submitted for publication elsewhere. Experience papers are
welcome, but they must clearly present general lessons learned that
would be of interest and benefit to a broad audience of both
researchers and practitioners. Springer has been contacted for
publication of the proceedings in the LNCS series. Final papers will
be no more than 15 pages long in the format specified by Springer. It
is recommended that submissions adhere to that format and length (see
at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submissions that
are clearly too long may be rejected immediately. Proofs omitted due
to space limitations may be included in a clearly marked appendix.
Paper submissions will be made electronically at the conference web
site. Both an abstract and the full paper must be submitted by their
respective submission deadlines. A special issue of Theoretical
Computer Science consisting of extended versions of selected papers
will be produced after the conference if there are enough good papers
that can be extended and revised to the standards of this journal.

Organising Committee
--------------------
Neal Harman and Markus Roggenbach, University of Wales Swansea, UK

Location and Organization
-------------------------
The City of Swansea dates from the 10th Century AD and is currently an
expanding centre for high tech. industry. Swansea is located at the
centre of the South Wales coastline, next to the Gower peninsula,
renowned for its dramatic coastal scenery and beaches. The conference
will be held on the Swansea University campus overlooking the
sea. Accommodation will be available in newly built halls of residence
and also in a small selection of good quality hotels. A full social
programme drawing on the culture of the area will complement the
scientific event.
