With the support of IFIP WG 1.3 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.
CALCO 2005 will be preceded by a CALCO Young Researchers Workshop,
CALCO-jnr, dedicated to presentations by PhD students and by those who
completed their doctoral studies within the past few years (see
www.cs.swan.ac.uk/calco-jnr/ for details).
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 practise. 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 Submitted papers must be unpublished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. Proceedings will be published in the
Springer 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 he 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.

Location and Organisation
-------------------------
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.
This CFP version dated: 10th January 2005.
