Co-located with the LEVERHULME SCHOOL ON GRAPH TRANSFORMATION TECHNIQUES (LSGT 2018)
The algebraic approach to system specification encompasses many aspects of the formal design of software systems.
Originally born as a formal method for reasoning about abstract data types, it now covers new specification frameworks and programming paradigms (such as object-oriented, aspect-oriented, agent-oriented, logic and higher-order functional programming) as well as a wide range of application areas (including information systems, concurrent, distributed and mobile systems). The workshop will provide an opportunity to present recent and ongoing work, to meet colleagues, and to discuss new ideas and future trends.
Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest are:
The workshop takes place under the auspices of IFIP WG 1.3.
This occurrence of the ADT workshop will be preceded by the Leverhulme School on Graph Transformation Techniques. The school will take place over three days, from Friday, June 29th, to Sunday, July 1st.
The scientific programme of the workshop will include presentations of recent results and ongoing research.
The presentations will be selected by the Steering Committee on the basis of submitted abstracts according to originality, significance and general interest.
The abstracts must be up to two pages long including references.
If a longer version of the contribution is available, it can be made accessible on the web and referenced in the abstract.
The abstracts have to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair system using the following link:
EasyChair Submission.
After the workshop, authors will be invited to submit full papers for the refereed post-proceedings.
All submissions will be reviewed; selection will be based on originality, soundness and significance of the presented ideas and results.
The proceedings will be published as a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer.
The deadline for submissions will be Monday, October 1 Sunday, October 28, 2018 (extended), with notifications of acceptance by February 10, 2019.
Camera-ready versions will be required by March 10, 2019.
The full papers will have to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair system using the following link:

Rolf Hennicker
Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich
Germany
Rolf Hennicker has studied Mathematics at LMU Munich. He recieved his Ph.D. degree in Informatics at the University of Passau and later his Habilitation degree at LMU Munich. During that period he worked in close collaboration with Michel Bidoit on observability concepts in algebraic specifications and was several times visiting professor at École Normale Supérieure de Cachan. Since 2001 he is member of the IFIP Working Group 1.3 "Foundations of System Specification". Rolf Hennicker became Professor for Computer Science at LMU Munich in 2004 and Academic Director at LMU in 2008. From 2000 to 2010 he was leader of the Computer Science group of the German research project GLOWA-Danube dealing with environmental simulations. His main research focus is on formal methods in software development with an emphasis on reactive components, algebraic specifications, object-oriented software engineering and, more recently, ensemble-based systems.
