CALL FOR PAPERS: Reachability Problems, 17-19 Sep 2012, Bordeaux, FRANCE
RP 2012
The 6th Workshop on Reachability Problems will be hosted by LaBRI (Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique), Université de Bordeaux, France. The Reachability Workshop is specifically aimed at gathering together scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds interested in reachability problems that appear in - Algebraic structures - Computational models - Hybrid systems - Logic - Verification Invited Speakers: ================ - Mikolaj Bojanczyk, Warsaw - Antonin Kucera, Brno - Joel Ouaknine, Oxford - Igor Walukiewicz, Bordeaux Submissions: =========== Papers presenting original contributions related to reachability problems in different computational models and systems are being sought. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Reachability for infinite state systems, rewriting systems; Reachability analysis in counter/ timed/ cellular/ communicating automata; Petri-Nets; computational aspects of semigroups, groups and rings; Reachability in dynamical and hybrid systems; frontiers between decidable and undecidable reachability problems; complexity and decidability aspects; predictability in iterative maps and new computational paradigms Authors are invited to submit a draft of a full paper with at most 12 pages (in LaTeX, formatted according to LNCS guidelines) via the conference web page. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an appendix to be read by the program committee members at their discretion. Submissions deviating from these guidelines risk rejection. Electronic submissions should be formatted in postscript or pdf. Simultaneous submission to other conferences or workshops with published proceedings is not allowed. Important Dates =============== Submission deadline: 10 May, 2012 Notification: 25 June, 2012 Final version: 5 July, 2012 Conference: 17-19 September, 2012 Proceedings =========== The Conference Proceedings will be published as the volume of the Springer Verlag LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) series and distributed at the Conference. We plan also to publish selected papers in a special issue of a high quality journal following the regular referee procedure.
