-- SCOPE --

CALCO aims to bring together researchers and practitioners with interests in foundational aspects, 
and both traditional and emerging uses of algebra and coalgebra in computer science.

It is a high-level, bi-annual conference formed by joining the forces and reputations of CMCS 
(the International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science), and WADT (the Workshop 
on Algebraic Development Techniques). Previous CALCO editions took place in Swansea (Wales, 2005), 
Bergen (Norway, 2007), Udine (Italy, 2009) and Winchester (UK, 2011). The fifth edition will be 
held in Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

-- TOPICS OF INTEREST --

We invite submissions 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 transfer of the resulting technologies 
into industrial practice. We encourage submissions in topics included or related to those listed below.

  * Abstract models and logics
    - Automata and languages
    - Categorical semantics
    - Modal logics
    - Relational systems
    - Graph transformation
    - Term rewriting
    - Adhesive categories

  * Specialised models and calculi
    - Hybrid, probabilistic, and timed systems
    - Calculi and models of concurrent, distributed, mobile, and
      context-aware computing
    - General systems theory and computational models (chemical,
      biological, etc.)

  * Algebraic and coalgebraic semantics
    - Abstract data types
    - Inductive and coinductive methods
    - Re-engineering techniques (program transformation)
    - Semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques
    - Semantics of programming languages

  * System specification and verification
    - Algebraic and coalgebraic specification
    - Formal testing and quality assurance
    - Validation and verification
    - Generative programming and model-driven development
    - Models, correctness and (re)configuration of
      hardware/middleware/architectures,
    - Process algebra

-- NEW TOPICS --

This edition of CALCO will feature two new topics, and submission of papers on these topics is 
especially encouraged.

   * Corecursion in Programming Languages
     - Corecursion in logic / constraint / functional / answer set
       programming
     - Corecursive type inference
     - Coinductive methods for proving program properties
     - Implementing corecursion
     - Applications

   * Algebra and Coalgebra in quantum computing
     - Categorical semantics for quantum computing
     - Quantum calculi and programming languages
     - Foundational structures for quantum computing
     - Applications of quantum algebra

-- 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. As with previous editions, the 
proceedings will be published in the Springer LNCS series. Final papers should be no more than 15 
pages long in the format specified by Springer (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
It is recommended that submissions adhere to that format and length. Submissions that are clearly 
too long may be rejected immediately. Proofs omitted due to space limitations may be included in a 
clearly marked appendix. Both an abstract and the full paper must be submitted by their respective 
submission deadlines.

-- BEST PAPER AND BEST PRESENTATION AWARDS --

For the first time, this edition of CALCO will feature two kinds of
awards: a best paper award whose recipients will be selected by the PC before the conference and a 
best presentation award, elected by the participants.

-- LOCATION --

Warsaw, the capital of Poland, is a lively city with many historic monuments and sights, but also 
with a thriving business district. It is easily accessible via two airports: the main Chopin 
Airport, used by most international carriers, and the recently open Warsaw Modlin Airport (30 
minutes away by rail), used by budget airlines.

-- SATELLITE WORKSHOPS --

CALCO 2013 will be preceded by the CALCO Early Ideas Workshop, chaired by Monika Seisenberger 
(Swansea University). The workshop is dedicated to presentation of work in progress and original 
research proposals. PhD students and young researchers are particularly encouraged to contribute.

A workshop dedicated to tools based on algebraic and/or coalgebraic principles, CALCO Tools, will 
be held alongside the main conference, chaired by Lutz Schröder (Friedrich Alexander Universität 
Erlangen-Nürnberg). Papers of this workshop will be included in the CALCO proceedings.

-- FURTHER INFORMATION --

Queries related to submission, reviewing, and programme should be sent to the relevant conference 
or workshop chairs.

Queries related to the organisation should be emailed to calco2013@mimuw.edu.pl .
