ICALP 2023 - First Call for papers
========================================================

The 50th EATCS International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming
(ICALP) will take place in:

Paderborn, Germany, on 10-14 July 2023.

ICALP is the main conference and annual meeting of the European Association  for
Theoretical Computer Science
(EATCS). As usual, ICALP will be preceded by a series of workshops, which will
take place on July 10.

The 2023 edition has the following features:
- Submissions are anonymous, and there is a rebuttal phase.
- The conference is planned as a physical, in-person event.
- This will be the 50th ICALP conference and some special events are planned.

========================================================
Important dates and information
========================================================

Submissions: February 11, 2023 at 11am CET
Rebuttal: March 22-25, 2023
Author notification: April 21, 2023
Camera-ready version: May 5, 2023
Early registration: TBA
Conference: July 10-14, 2023 (Workshops on July 10, 2023)

Submission (tracks A and B): https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icalp2023

========================================================
Invited Speakers
========================================================

Anna Karlin - University of Washington, USA
Rasmus Kyng - ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Rupak Majumdar - Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, Germany
Thomas Vidick - California Institute of Technology, USA, and Weizmann Institute
of Science, Israel
James Worrell - University of Oxford, UK

========================================================
Submission guidelines
========================================================

1) Papers must present original research on the theory of computer science.  No
prior publication and no
simultaneous submission to other publication outlets (either a conference or a
journal) is allowed. Authors are
encouraged to also make full versions of their submissions freely accessible in
an on-line repository such as
ArXiv, HAL, ECCC.

2) Submissions take the form of an extended abstract of no more than 15 pages,
excluding references and a clearly
labelled appendix. The appendix may consist either of omitted proofs or of a
full version of the submission, and
it will be read at the discretion of program committee members. The extended
abstract has to present the merits
of the paper and its main contributions clearly, and describe the key concepts
and technical ideas used to obtain
the results. Submissions must provide the proofs which can enable the main
mathematical claims of the paper to be
fully verified.

3) Submissions are anonymous. The conference will employ a fairly lightweight
double-blind reviewing process.
Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In
particular, authors’ names,
affiliations, and email addresses should not appear at the beginning or in the
body of the submission. Authors
should ensure that any references to their own related work are in the third
person (e.g., not “We build on our
previous work …” but rather “We build on the work of …”).

The purpose of this double-blind process is to help PC members and external
reviewers come to an initial judgment
about the paper without bias, and not to make it impossible for them to
discover who the authors are if they were
to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the
submission or makes the job of reviewing
the paper more difficult. In particular, important references should not be
omitted or anonymized. In addition,
authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their
paper as they normally would. For
example, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web, submit them to
arXiv, and give talks on their
research ideas.

4) The submissions are done via Easychair to the appropriate track of the
conference (see topics below). The use
of pdflatex and the LIPIcs style are mandatory: papers that deviate
significantly from the required format risk
rejection without consideration of merit.

5) During the rebuttal phase, authors will have from March 22-25 to view and
respond to initial reviews. Further
instructions will be sent to authors of submitted papers before that time.

6) At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for the
conference, and all talks are
in-person. In exceptional cases, there may be support for remotely presenting a
talk.

7) Papers authored only by students should be marked as such upon submission in
order to be eligible for the best
student paper awards of the track.


========================================================
Awards
========================================================

During the conference, the following awards will be given:
– the EATCS award,
- the Church prize,
– the Presburger award,
– the EATCS distinguished dissertation award,
– the best papers for Track A and Track B,
– the best student papers for Track A and Track B (see submission guidelines).

========================================================
Proceedings
========================================================

ICALP proceedings are published in the Leibniz International Proceedings in
Informatics (LIPIcs) series. This is
a series of high-quality conference proceedings across all fields in
informatics established in cooperation with
Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics. LIPIcs volumes are published
according to the principle of
Open Access, i.e., they are available online and free of charge.
