=== Scope ===
Interaction and Concurrency Experiences (ICEs) is a series of international
scientific meetings oriented to theoretical computer science researchers
with special interest in models, verification, tools, and programming
primitives for complex interactions.
The general scope of the venue includes theoretical and applied aspects of
interactions and the synchronization mechanisms used among components of
concurrent/distributed systems, related to several areas of computer
science in the broad spectrum ranging from formal specification and
analysis to studies inspired by emerging computational models.
We solicit contributions relevant to Interaction and Concurrency, including
but not limited to:
* Formal semantics
* Process algebras and calculi
* Models and languages
* Protocols
* Logics and types
* Expressiveness
* Model transformations
* Tools, implementations, and experiments
* Specification and verification
* Coinductive techniques
* Tools and techniques for automation
* Synthesis techniques
The special focus of ICE 2014 is automation in concurrency and interaction.
=== Selection Procedure ===
Since its 1st edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has been
an innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive discussion
amongst authors and PC members.
During the review phase, each submission is published on a dedicated
discussion forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors of
the submission and by all the PC members not in conflict with the
submission. The forum is used by reviewers to ask questions and
clarifications to the authors, allowing them to better explain all the
aspects of their submission. The evaluation of the submission will take
into account not only the reviews, but also the outcome of the discussion.
As witnessed by the past six editions of ICE, this procedure considerably
improves the accuracy of the reviews, the fairness of the selection, the
quality of camera-ready papers, and the discussion during the workshop.
=== Submission Guidelines ===
We invite for three types of submissions:
(1) Full Papers;
(2) Short Papers;
(3) Brief Announcements of already Published Papers.
Full and short papers will appear in the post-proceedings and must report
previously unpublished work and not be simultaneously submitted to other
conferences/workshops with refereed proceedings. The ICE 2014
post-proceedings will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical
Computer Science (http://eptcs.org/). In addition, we invite for brief
announcements of already published results, should the authors be
interested in discussing their published research with the ICE community
and giving a talk. Brief announcements will not be part of the
post-proceedings.
Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair (
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2014). Full papers should not
exceed 15 pages in length, while short papers and brief announcements
should not exceed 5 pages with the EPTCS style (http://style.eptcs.org/).
Accepted (full and short) papers and brief announcements must be presented
at the workshop by one of the authors.
=== Special Issue ===
We plan to invite extended versions of selected full papers to a special
issue in a highly-reputed journal. Such contributions will be regularly
peer-reviewed according to the standard journal policy, but they will be
handled in a shorter time than regular submissions.

SAS 2014
Static Analysis Symposium 2014
Call for Papers
http://cs.uni-muenster.de/sev/sas14/
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective
---------
Static Analysis is increasingly recognized as a fundamental tool for
program verification, bug detection, compiler optimization, program
understanding, and software maintenance. The series of Static Analysis
Symposia has served as the primary venue for the presentation of
theoretical, practical, and application advances in the area. The 21th
International Static Analysis Symposium, SAS 2014, will be held in
Munich, Germany. Previous symposia were held in Seattle, Deauville,
Venice, Perpignan, Los Angeles, Valencia, Kongens Lyngby, Seoul,
London, Verona, San Diego, Madrid, Paris, Santa Barbara, Pisa, Aachen,
Glasgow, and Namur.
Topics
------
The technical program for SAS 2014 will consist of invited lectures
and presentations of refereed papers. Contributions are welcomed on
all aspects of static analysis, including, but not limited to:
* Abstract domains * Abstract interpretation
* Abstract testing * Bug detection
* Data flow analysis * Model checking
* New applications * Program transformation
* Program verification * Security analysis
* Theoretical frameworks * Type checking
Paper Submission
----------------
Submissions can address any programming paradigm, including
concurrent, constraint, functional, imperative, logic,
object-oriented, aspect, multi-core, distributed, and GPU
programming. Papers must describe original work, be written and
presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers
that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a
journal or a conference with refereed proceedings. Submitted papers
will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness,
originality, and clarity. They should clearly identify what has been
accomplished and why it is significant. Paper submissions should not
exceed 15 pages in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science LNCS
format, excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices. Program
committee members are not required to read the appendices, and thus
papers must be intelligible without them. Submissions are handled
online. For further details please visit the above web page.
Artifact Submission
-------------------
As last year, we are encouraging authors to submit a virtual machine
image containing any artifacts and evaluations presented in the
paper. The goal of the artifact submissions is to strengthen our
field's scientific approach to evaluations and reproducibility of
results. The virtual machines will be archived on a permanent Static
Analysis Symposium website to provide a record of past experiments and
tools, allowing future research to better evaluate and contrast
existing work.
Artifact submission is optional. We accept only virtual machine images
that can be processed with Virtual Box. Details on what to submit and
how will be sent to the corresponding authors by mail shortly after
the paper submission deadline.
The submitted artifacts will be used by the program committee as a
secondary evaluation criteria whose sole purpose is to find additional
positive arguments for the paper's acceptance. Submissions without
artifacts are welcome and will not be penalized.
Dates
-----
* Submission deadline: abstracts must be received by March 7, 2014,
and complete papers by March 14, 2014. These deadlines are
strict; submissions where abstract or paper are received later
will not be evaluated.
* Artifacts must be submitted by March 28, 2014.
* Rebuttal: May 15-18, 2014.
* Notification of acceptance: June 1, 2014
* Final version due: June 22, 2014
* Early registration: On or before July 20, 2014
* Workshop day: September 10, 2014
* Conference: September 11-13, 2014

Venue
-----
In 2014, the conference will take place in Novotel at Munich,
Germany. Munich is the lively capital of Bavaria. Close to the alps,
Munich hosts three universities and a variety of touristic
attractions. These include museums such as the German museum for
technology and science, several first class theaters as well as
historical monuments built by the bavarian kings who took a keen
interest in art, construction and collection.
