When                  Sep 21, 2016 - Sep 24, 2016

Where                 Gregynog, UK

Submission Deadline   June  3, 2016

Notification          June 17, 2016

Final Version Due     July  1, 2016

 

AIMS AND SCOPE

 

The algebraic approach to system specification encompasses many

aspects of the formal design of software systems. Originally born as

formal method for reasoning about abstract data types, it now covers

new specification frameworks and programming paradigms (such as

object-oriented, aspect-oriented, agent-oriented, logic and

higher-order functional programming) as well as a wide range of

application areas (including information systems, concurrent,

distributed and mobile systems). The workshop will provide an

opportunity to present recent and ongoing work, to meet colleagues,

and to discuss new ideas and future trends.

 

TOPICS OF INTEREST

 

Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest are:

- Foundations of algebraic specification

- Other approaches to formal specification, including process

  calculi and models of concurrent, distributed and mobile computing

- Specification languages, methods, and environments

- Semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques

- Model-driven development

- Graph transformations, term rewriting and proof systems

- Integration of formal specification techniques

- Formal testing and quality assurance, validation, and verification

 

INVITED SPEAKERS

- Alessio Lomuscio (London, UK)

- Till Mossakowski (Magdeburg, Germany)

- John Tucker (Swansea, UK)

 

WORKSHOP FORMAT AND LOCATION

 

The workshop will take place over four days, Wednesday to Saturday, at

Gregynog Hall in Wales, UK (http://www.gregynog.org). Participants

should arrive on Tuesday evening, the workshop will end on Saturday

with lunch.

Submission deadline for abstracts: June 3, 2016

Notification of acceptance: June 17, 2016

Early registration: June 17, 2016

Final abstract due: July 1, 2016

Workshop in Gregynog: September 21-24, 2016

 

SUBMISSIONS

 

The scientific programme of the workshop will include presentations of

recent results and ongoing research. The presentations will be

selected by the Steering Committee on the basis of submitted abstracts

according to originality, significance and general interest. The

abstracts must be up to two pages long including references. If a

longer version of the contribution is available, it can be made

accessible on the web and referenced in the abstract.

 

The abstracts have to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair

system.

 

PROCEEDINGS

 

After the workshop, authors will be invited to submit full papers for

the refereed proceedings. All submissions will be reviewed; selection

will be based on originality, soundness and significance of the

presented ideas and results. The proceedings will be published as a

volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (Springer).

 

SPONSORSHIP

 

The workshop takes place under the auspices of IFIP WG 1.3.
