TASE 2023 - CALL FOR PAPERS ****************************************************************** The 17th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering (TASE 2023) July 4-6, Bristol, UK https://bristolpl.github.io/tase2023/ ****************************************************************** * Abstract submission (not mandatory, but preferred): February 3, 2023 * Paper Submission: February 24, 2023 * Author Notification: April 10, 2023 * Camera-ready versions: May 1, 2023 * Conference date: July 4-6, 2023 -------- OVERVIEW -------- The 17th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering (TASE 2023) will be held in Bristol, UK on July 4-6, 2023. Modern society is increasingly dependent on software systems that are becoming larger and more complex. This poses new challenges to the various aspects of software engineering, for instance, software dependability in trusted computing, interaction with physical components in cyber physical systems, quality assurance in AI systems, distribution in cloud computing applications, security and privacy in general. Hence, new concepts and methodologies are required to enhance the development of software engineering from theoretical aspects. TASE 2023 aims to provide a forum for people from academia and industry to communicate their latest results on innovative advances in software engineering. TASE 2023 is the 17th in the TASE series. The past TASE symposia were successfully held in Shanghai ('07), Nanjing ('08), Tianjin ('09), Taipei ('10), Xi'an ('11), Beijing ('12), Birmingham ('13), Changsha ('14), Nanjing ('15), Shanghai (’16), Nice ('17), Guangzhou ('18), Guilin (’19), Hangzhou (’20), Shanghai (’21), Cluj (’22). ------ TOPICS ------ Authors are invited to submit high quality technical papers describing original and unpublished work in all theoretical aspects of software engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Abstract interpretation * Algebraic and co-algebraic specifications * AI for formal methods * Component-based software engineering * Cyber-physical systems * Deductive verification * Distributed and concurrent systems * Domain Engineering * Embedded and real-time systems * Feature-oriented software * Formal methods, verification and testing for AI systems * Formal verification and program semantics * Fundamental theories and techniques for trustworthy AI systems * Integration of formal methods * Language design * Model checking and theorem proving * Model-driven engineering * Object-oriented systems * Probability in software engineering * Program analysis * Program logics and calculi * Requirements engineering * Reverse engineering and software maintenance * Run-time verification and monitoring * Semantic web and web services * Service-oriented and cloud computing * Software processes and workflows * Software architectures and design * Software testing and quality assurance * Software safety, security and reliability * Specification and verification * Type systems and behavioral typing * Tools exploiting theoretical results --------------- KEYNOTE SPEAKERS --------------- Stefan Kiefer – University of Oxford Naijun Zhan – Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences Peter Schrammel – CTO of Diffblue, AI for Code, Oxford ---------- SUBMISSION ---------- Submissions to the conference must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the conference. The proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Papers should be written in English and should not exceed 16 pages (excluding bibliography) for long papers and 6 pages (excluding bibliography) for short papers in LNCS format. Submissions should be made through the TASE 2023 submission page, handled by the EasyChair conference management system. Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tase23 Selected papers will be invited after the symposium to submit an extended version to a special issue at Science of Computer Programming. --------------- HONORARY CHAIR Ian Nabney – University of Bristol, UK ------------- GENERAL CHAIR Meng Wang – Univeristy of Bristol, UK ----------------- PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Cristina David – University of Bristol, UK Meng Sun – Peking University, China ---------------- PUBLICITY CO-CHAIRS Guoqiang Li -- Shanghai Jiaotong University, China Guillaume Dupont -- Toulouse INP – ENSEEIHT, France ---------------- LOCAL ORGANIZING CHAIR Samantha Frohlich – University of Bristol, UK ------------------ WEB CHAIR Roly Perera – University of Bristol, UK ------------------ WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS Ileana Ober -- Université Paul Sabatier, France Min Zhang -- East China Normal University, China ------------------ PUBLICATION CHAIR Neeraj Singh -- Toulouse INP – ENSEEIHT, France ------------------ PROGRAM COMMITTEE Bernhard K.
