First Call for Papers
-----------------------------------------------------
16th International Conference on
RELATIONAL AND ALGEBRAIC METHODS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
(RAMiCS 2017)
May 15-19, 2017
Lyon, France
http://ramics-conference.org
-----------------------------------------------------
GENERAL INFORMATION:
For more than two decades, the RAMiCS conferences series has been the
main venue for research on relation algebras, Kleene algebras and
similar algebraic formalisms, and their applications as conceptual and
methodological tools in computer science and beyond.
TOPICS:
We invite submissions in the general field of algebraic structures
relevant to computer science and on applications of such
algebras. Topics of the conference include, but are not limited to the
following
-theory
* algebraic structures from semigroups, residuated lattices and
semirings to Kleene algebras, relation algebras and quantales
* other algebras relevant to the theory of automata, concurrency,
formal languages, games, networks, programming languages and social
choice
* algorithmic, category-theoretic, coalgebraic or proof-theoretic
methods for such algebras
* their formalisation with automated and interactive theorem provers
-applications
* tools and techniques for the verification and correctness of
sequential and concurrent programs
* quantitative and qualitative models for computing systems
* logics of programs, e.g., modal, dynamic, interval, temporal or
resource logics, logics for games, social choice and distributed
systems
* design of algorithms, network protocol analysis, optimisation and control
INVITED SPEAKERS:
* Annabelle McIver (Macquarie University, Sydney
* Jean-Eric Pin (CNRS, IRIF, Paris)
* Alexandra Silva (University College, London)
IMPORTANT DATES:

RAMiCS 2017: 2017, May 15-19
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
Submission is via EasyChair at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ramics16
All papers will be peer reviewed by at least three referees. The
proceedings will be published in an LNCS volume by Springer, ready at
the conference. Submissions must be in English, in PDF format and
should not exceed 16 pages in LNCS style. Submissions must be
unpublished, not under review for publication elsewhere and provide
sufficient information to judge their merits. Additional material may
be provided in a clearly marked appendix or by a reference to a
manuscript on a web site. Experimental data, software or mathematical
components for theorem provers must be available in sufficient detail
for reviewers. Deviation from these requirements may lead to
rejection.
Accepted papers must be produced with LaTeX. One author of
each accepted paper is expected to present the paper at the
conference. Formatting instructions
and LNCS style files can be obtained at:
