Call for Tutorials - ICTAC05 INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM ON THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF COMPUTING Hanoi, Vietnam - 17--21 October, 2005 http://www.iist.unu.edu/ictac05 ===================== BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES ICTAC is an International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing founded by the International Institute for Software Technology of the United Nations University (UNU-IIST). The aim of the colloquium is to bring together practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and government to present research results, and exchange experience, ideas, and solutions for their problems in theoretical aspects of computing.The colloquium is aimed particularly, but not exclusively, at participants from developing countries. We believe that this will help developing countries to strengthen their research, teaching and development in computer science and engineering, improve the links between developing countries and developed countries, and establish collaboration in research and education. The first ICTAC (ICTAC'04) was held in Guiyang, China and its proceedings were published as "ICTAC 2004: Theoretical Aspects of Computing", LNCS 3407. ICTAC'05 will have a technical program for five days including two days for tutorials and three days for a conference, and a training school for 5 days. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to: - automata theory and formal languages - principles and semantics of programming languages - logics and their applications - software architectures and their description languages - software specification, refinement, and verification - model checking and theorem proving - formal techniques in software testing - models of object and component systems - coordination and feature interaction - integration of formal and engineering methods - service-oriented development - document-driven development - models of concurrency, security, and mobility - theory of parallel, distributed, and internet-based (grid) computing - real-time and embedded systems - type and category theory in computer science SPONSORS AND ORGANISATION ICTAC'05 will be organised jointly between the Institute of Information Technology of the Vietnamese Academy of Sciences and Technology (IoIT), the University of Technology of the Vietnam National University in Hanoi (UoT-VNU) and UNU-IIST. UNU-IIST, IoIT and UoT-VNU are also sponsors of ICTAC'05. There will be an one-week training school during 10--14 October 2005 before the conference. TUTORIAL SUBMISSION You are welcome to submit a proposal for a tutorial on any subject related to the topics listed above. All tutorial proposal submissions should have a detailed description of the tutorial contents, the time duration, and an extended abstract written in English. The extended abstract should not not exceed 5 pages in LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). The extended abstract of the accepted tutorials will be published in the proceedings of the ICTAC05 conference which will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. All queries and tutorial proposals should be sent to the program committee co-chairs Dang Van Hung, e-mail: dvh@iist.unu.edu, or Martin Wirsing, e-mail: wirsing@informatik.uni-muenchen.de. The deadline for tutorial proposal submission is 11 July 2005, and the notification of tutorial proposal acceptance is 25 July 2005. The date for tutorials is 17-18 October, 2005.
