[Please post - apologies for multiple copies.] Deadline Extension ================================================ SCSS 2014 Symbolic Computation in Software Science 6th International Symposium Gammarth, La Marsa, Tunisia, December 7-11, 2014 http://www.easychair.org/smart-program/SCSS2014/ ================================================ Important Dates --------------- July 7, 2014: Abstract submission deadline (extended) July 14, 2014: Paper submission deadline (extended) August 25, 2014: Notification September 22, 2014: Camera-ready copy deadline December 7-11, 2014: SCSS 2014 in Gammarth Scope -------- The purpose of SCSS 2014 is to promote research on theoretical and practical aspects of symbolic computation in software science. The symposium provides a forum for active dialog between researchers from several fields of computer algebra, algebraic geometry, algorithmic combinatorics, computational logic, and software analysis and verification. SCSS 2014 solicits both regular and tool papers on all aspects of symbolic computation and their applications in software science. The topics of the symposium include, but are not limited to the following: - automated reasoning - algorithm (program) synthesis and/or verification - formal methods for the analysis of network security - termination analysis and complexity analysis of algorithms (programs) - extraction of specifications from algorithms (programs) - theorem proving methods and techniques - proof carrying code - generation of inductive assertion for algorithm (programs) - algorithm (program) transformations - formalization and computerization of knowledge (maths, medicine, economy, etc.) - component-based programming - computational origami - query languages (in particular for XML documents) - semantic web and cloud computing Invited Speakers ---------------- Nikolaj Bjorner (Microsoft Research) William M. Farmer (McMaster University) Program Chairs -------------- Temur Kutsia (RISC, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria) Andrei Voronkov (University of Manchester, UK) Program Committee ------------------ Elvira Albert (Complutense University of Madrid, Spain) Adel Bouhoula (Higher School of Communications of Tunis, Tunisia) James H.

Publication ---------- The proceedings will be published in the EasyChair Proceedings in Computing. We plan also to have a special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation on SCSS 2014. The full version of selected papers will be considered for the publication of the special issue subjected to the normal peer review process of the journal.
