ICALP 2024 - Final Call for Papers
by Dmitry Chistikov 08 Feb '24

08 Feb '24

======================================================== ICALP 2024 - Final Call for Papers ======================================================== The 51st EATCS International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP) will take place in: Tallinn, Estonia, July 8-12, 2024 ICALP is the main conference and annual meeting of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). As usual, ICALP will be preceded by a series of workshops, which will take place on July 6-7. The 2024 edition has the following features: - Submissions are anonymous and there is a rebuttal phase. - The conference is planned as a physical, in-person event. - ICALP 2024 is co-located with Logic in Computer Science (LICS) 2024 and Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD) 2024. ======================================================== Important dates and information ======================================================== Submissions: February 14, 2024 (1pm CET) Rebuttal: March 26-29, 2024 Author notification: April 14, 2024 Camera-ready version: April 28, 2024 Early registration: TBA Conference: July 8-12, 2024 (Workshops on July 6-7) Deadlines are firm; late submissions will not be considered. Conference website: https://compose.ioc.ee/icalp2024/ Submission (tracks A and B): https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icalp2024 ======================================================== Submission guidelines ======================================================== 1) Papers must present original research on the theory of computer science. No prior publication and no simultaneous submission to other publication outlets (either a conference or a journal) is allowed. Authors are encouraged to also make full versions of their submissions freely accessible in an on-line repository such as ArXiv, HAL, ECCC. 2) Submissions take the form of an extended abstract of no more than 15 pages, excluding references and a clearly labelled appendix. The appendix may consist either of omitted proofs or of a full version of the submission, and it will be read at the discretion of program committee members. The use of the LIPIcs document class is an option, but not required. The extended abstract has to present the merits of the paper and its main contributions clearly, and describe the key concepts and technical ideas used to obtain the results. Submissions must provide the proofs which can enable the main mathematical claims of the paper to be verified. 3) Submissions are anonymous. The conference will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. Authors should ensure that any references to their own related work are in the third person (e.g., not “We build on our previous work …” but rather “We build on the work of …”). The purpose of this double-blind process is to help PC members and external reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, and not to make it impossible for them to discover who the authors are if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, important references should not be omitted. In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For example, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web, submit them to arXiv, and give talks on their research ideas. 4) Submissions authored or co-authored by members of the program committee are allowed. 5) The submissions are done via Easychair to the appropriate track of the conference (see topics below). The use of pdflatex or similar pdf generating tools is mandatory and the page limit is strict (see point 2.) Papers that deviate significantly from these requirements risk rejection without consideration of merit. 6) During the rebuttal phase, authors will have from March 26-29, 2024 to view and respond to initial reviews. Further instructions will be sent to authors of submitted papers before that time. 7) At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register for the conference, and all talks are in-person. In exceptional cases, there may be support for remotely presenting a talk. 8) Papers authored only by students should be marked as such upon submission in order to be eligible for the best student paper awards of the track. ======================================================== Awards ======================================================== During the conference, the following awards will be delivered: – the EATCS award, – the Gödel prize, – the Presburger award, – the EATCS distinguished dissertation award, – the best papers for Track A and Track B, – the best student papers for Track A and Track B. ======================================================== Proceedings ======================================================== ICALP proceedings are published in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series.

Any research paper or series of papers by a single author or by a team of authors is deemed eligible if: - The main results were not published (in either preliminary or final form) in a journal or conference proceedings before January 1st, 2011. - The paper was published in a recognized refereed journal no later than December 31, 2023. The research work nominated for the award should be in the area of theoretical computer science. Nominations are encouraged from the broadest spectrum of the theoretical computer science community so as to ensure that potential award winning papers are not overlooked. The Award Committee shall have the ultimate authority to decide whether a particular paper is eligible for the Prize. Nominations for the award should be submitted by email to the Award Committee Chair: anca.muscholl(a)u-bordeaux.fr. Please make sure that the Subject line of all nominations and related messages begin with “Goedel Prize 2024.” To be considered, nominations must be received by April 12, 2024. A nomination package should include: 1. A printable copy (or copies) of the journal paper(s) being nominated, together with a complete citation (or citations) thereof. 2. A statement of the date(s) and venue(s) of the first conference or workshop publication(s) of the nominated work(s) or a statement that no such publication has occurred. 3. A brief summary of the technical content of the paper(s) and a brief explanation of its significance. 4. A support letter or letters signed by at least two members of the scientific community. Additional support letters may also be received and are generally useful. The nominated paper(s) may be in any language. However, if a nominated publication is not in English, the nomination package must include an extended summary written in English. Those intending to submit a nomination should contact the Award Committee Chair by email well in advance. The Chair will answer questions about eligibility, encourage coordination among different nominators for the same paper(s), and also accept informal proposals of potential nominees or tentative offers to prepare formal nominations. The committee maintains a database of past nominations for eligible papers, but fresh nominations for the same papers (especially if they highlight new evidence of impact) are always welcome.

[ Please distribute, apologies for multiple postings. ] ========================================================================= 5th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Blockchains - Fourth Call (deadline extension) https://fmbc.gitlab.io/2024 April 07, 2024, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg Co-located with the european joint conferences on theory and practice of software (ETAPS 2024) https://www.etaps.org/2024/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract submission (extended): January 31, 2024 Paper submission (extended): February 07, 2024 Notification: February 29, 2024 Camera-ready: March 15, 2024 Pre-Proceedings: March 31, 2024 Workshop: April 07, 2024 Deadlines are Anywhere on Earth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blockchain is a novel technology to store data in a decentralized way. Although the technology was originally invented to enable cryptocurrencies, it quickly found applications in several other domains. Blockchains may also provide support for Smart Contracts. Smart Contracts are scripts of an ad-hoc programming language that are stored in the blockchain and that run on the network. They can interact with the ledger’s data and update its state. These scripts can express the logic of possibly complex contracts between users of the blockchain. Thus, Smart Contracts can facilitate the economic activity of blockchain participants. Since blockchains are often used to store financial transactions, bugs may result in huge economic losses and thus it is now of utmost importance to have strong guarantees of the behaviour of blockchain software. These guarantees can be brought by using Formal Methods. Indeed, Blockchain software encompasses many topics of computer science where using Formal Methods techniques and tools is relevant: consensus algorithms to ensure the liveness and the security of the data on the chain, programming languages specifically designed to write smart contracts, cryptographic protocols, such as zero-knowledge proofs, used to ensure privacy, etc. This workshop is a forum to identify theoretical and practical approaches of formal methods for Blockchain technology. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Formal models of Blockchain applications or concepts * Formal methods for consensus protocols * Formal methods for Blockchain-specific cryptographic primitives or protocols * Design and implementation of Smart Contract languages * Verification of Smart Contracts -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submit original manuscripts (not published or considered elsewhere) with a page limit of 12 pages for full papers and 6 pages for short papers (excluding bibliography and short appendix of up to 5 additional pages). Alternatively you may also submit an extended abstract of up to 2 pages (excluding bibliography) summarizing your ongoing work in the area of formal methods and blockchain. Authors of selected extended-abstracts are invited to give a short lightning talk.

Instructions for authors: https://submission.dagstuhl.de/documentation/authors#oasics At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to present the paper at the workshop as a registered participant. -------------------------------- -------------------------------- PROCEEDINGS -------------------------------- All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the program committee for quality and relevance. Accepted regular papers (full and short papers) will be included in the workshop proceedings, which will be published as a volume of the OpenAccess Series in Informatics (OASIcs) by Dagstuhl. -------------------------------- -------------------------------- INVITED SPEAKER -------------------------------- We are pleased to have Franck Cassez, Head of Research, Mantle ( https://www.mantle.xyz ) https://franck44.github.io/ as a keynote speaker which will talk about verification of smart contracts. -------------------------------- -------------------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE -------------------------------- PC CO-CHAIRS * Bruno Bernardo (Nomadic Labs, France) (bruno(a)nomadic-labs.com<mailto:bruno@nomadic-labs.com>) * Diego Marmsoler (University of Exeter, UK) (D.Marmsoler(a)exeter.ac.uk<mailto:D.Marmsoler@exeter.ac.uk>) PC MEMBERS * Burcu Kulahcioglu Ozkan (Delft University of Technology, Netherlands) * Maria Potop-Butucaru (Sorbonne University, France) * Bas Spitters (Aarhus University, Denmark) * Sophie Rain (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) * Gordon J.
