| 40 | +=== SCOPE === |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +The general scope of the workshop is interaction and concurrency, |
| 43 | +broadly construed. The workshop welcomes contributions spanning the |
| 44 | +spectrum from theoretical models to practical implementations and |
| 45 | +empirical studies. Topics of interest include (but are not limited |
| 46 | +to): |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | + * Formal semantics |
| 49 | + * Process algebras and calculi |
| 50 | + * Models and languages |
| 51 | + * Protocols |
| 52 | + * Logics and types |
| 53 | + * Expressiveness |
| 54 | + * Model transformations |
| 55 | + * Tools, implementations, and experiments |
| 56 | + * Specification and verification |
| 57 | + * Coinductive techniques |
| 58 | + * Tools and techniques for automation |
| 59 | + * Synthesis techniques |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +Prospective authors are welcome to contact the chairs for advice on |
| 62 | +whether their proposed submission is in scope. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +=== SELECTION PROCEDURE === |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Since its first edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has |
| 67 | +been an innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive, |
| 68 | +friendly, and constructive discussion amongst authors and PC members |
| 69 | +in an online forum. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +During the review phase, each submission is published in a dedicated |
| 72 | +discussion forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors |
| 73 | +of the submission and by all PC members not in conflict with the |
| 74 | +submission (the forum preserves anonymity). The forum is used by |
| 75 | +reviewers to ask questions, clarifications, and modifications from the |
| 76 | +authors, allowing them better to explain and to improve all aspects of |
| 77 | +their submission. The evaluation of the submission will take into |
| 78 | +account not only the reviews, but also the outcome of the discussion. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +As witnessed by the past editions of ICE, this procedure considerably |
| 81 | +improves the accuracy of the reviews, the fairness of the selection, |
| 82 | +the quality of camera-ready papers, and the discussion during the |
| 83 | +workshop. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +ICE adopts a light double-anonymous reviewing process, detailed below. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +=== SUBMISSION GUIDELINES === |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via hotcrp: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | + https://ice25.hotcrp.com/ |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +We invite two types of submissions: |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | + * Research papers: original contributions that will be published |
| 97 | + in the workshop post-proceedings. Research papers must not be |
| 98 | + simultaneously submitted to other conferences or workshops with |
| 99 | + refereed proceedings. Research papers should be 3-16 pages |
| 100 | + (references not included). Short research papers are |
| 101 | + welcome; for example a 5 page short paper fits this category |
| 102 | + perfectly. The submitted PDF can use any LaTeX style (but the |
| 103 | + post-proceedings will use the EPTCS style). |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | + * Oral communications: will be presented at the workshop, but will |
| 106 | + not appear in the post-proceedings. This type of contribution |
| 107 | + includes e.g., previously published contributions, preliminary |
| 108 | + work, and position papers. There is no strict page limit for |
| 109 | + this kind of submission but papers of 1-5 pages would be |
| 110 | + appreciated. For example, a one page summary of previously |
| 111 | + published work is welcome in this category. |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +Authors of research papers must omit their names and institutions from |
| 114 | +the title page, they should refer to their other work in the third |
| 115 | +person and omit acknowledgements that could reveal their identity or |
| 116 | +affiliation. The purpose is to avoid any bias based on authorsโ |
| 117 | +identity characteristics, such as gender, seniority, or nationality, |
| 118 | +in the review process. Our goal is to facilitate an unbiased approach |
| 119 | +to reviewing by supporting reviewersโ access to works that do not |
| 120 | +carry obvious references to the authorsโ identities. As mentioned |
| 121 | +above, this is a lightweight double-anonymous process. Anonymization |
| 122 | +should not be a heavy burden for authors, and should not make papers |
| 123 | +weaker or more difficult to review. Advertising the paper on alternate |
| 124 | +forums (e.g., on a personal web-page, pre-print archive, email, talks, |
| 125 | +discussions with colleagues) is permitted. |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +Papers in the โOral communicationsโ category need not be |
| 128 | +anonymized. For any questions concerning the double anonymous process, |
| 129 | +feel free to consult the ICEcreamers. |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +We are keen to enhance the balanced, inclusive and diverse nature of |
| 132 | +the ICE community, and would particularly encourage female colleagues |
| 133 | +and members of other underrepresented groups to submit their work. |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +Submission by PC members (apart from the ICEcreamers) is allowed and encouraged. |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +=== PUBLICATIONS === |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +Accepted research papers and communications must be presented at the |
| 140 | +workshop by one of the authors. |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +Accepted research papers will be published after the workshop in |
| 143 | +Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science. |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +We plan to invite authors of selected papers and brief announcements |
| 146 | +to submit their work in a special issue in the Journal of Logical and |
| 147 | +Algebraic Methods in Programming (Elsevier). Such contributions will |
| 148 | +be peer-reviewed according to the standard journal policy, but they |
| 149 | +will be handled in a shorter time than regular submissions. A list of |
| 150 | +published and in preparation special issues of previous ICE editions |
| 151 | +is reported on the ICE website. |
