SCOPE AND AIMS ==============
Symbolic Computation is the science of computing with symbolic objects (terms, formulae, programs, representations of algebraic objects etc.). Powerful symbolic algorithms have been developed during the past decades like resolution proving, model checking, provers for various inductive domains, rewriting
techniques, cylindric algebraic decomposition, Groebner bases, characteristic sets, telescoping for recurrence relations, etc.
In this workshop, we concentrate on the application of symbolic algorithms to software science. Topics include but are not limited to the application of symbolic techniques to:
* algorithm (program) synthesis * algorithm (program) verification * termination analysis of algorithms (programs) * complexity analysis of algorithms (programs) * extraction of specifications from algorithms (programs) * generation of inductive assertion for algorithms (programs) * algorithm (program) transformations * component-based programming * query languages (in particular for XML documents) * semantic web * etc.
This Workshop grew out of a couple of internal workshops
of the Theorema Group at RISC (Research Institute for Symbolic Computation, SCORE (Symbolic Computation Research Group, University of Tsukuba, Japan) and SSFG (Software Science Foundation Group, Kyoto University, Japan). We now open the workshop series for the international community and we welcome paper submissions. Also, for the first time, the SCCH (Software Competence Center Hagenberg) will join in the organization of the workshop.
IMPORTANT DATES ===============
* April 21, 2008: Deadline for paper submission. * May 26, 2008: Notification. * June 20, 2008: Full papers. * July 12-13, 2008: Workshop.
SUBMISSION ==========
Submissions (papers or extended abstracts) should be prepared in LaTeX, formatted according to the Springer llncs style, and should not exceed 15 pages. Preliminary proceedings will be available at the workshop. At
the workshop, it will be decided whether a proceedings volume or a journal special issue with full versions of selected papers will be published after the workshop.
