=== Scope ===
Interaction and Concurrency Experiences (ICEs) is a series of international scientific meetings oriented to theoretical computer science researchers with special interest in models, verification, tools and programming primitives for complex interactions.
The general scope of the venue includes theoretical and applied aspects of interactions and the synchronization mechanisms used among components of concurrent/distributed systems, related to several areas of computer science in the broad spectrum ranging from formal specification and analysis to studies inspired by emerging computational models.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Process algebra and coordination: transformation, analysis and implementation - Models for distributed coordination and semantics - Techniques and tools for specification, analysis, verification of resilient interactions - Coinductive techniques for reactive systems - Languages, protocols and mechanisms for sound distributed coordination - Logics and types for interactions - Comparison among different coordination and/or execution models - Expressive power of coordination languages and execution models - Formal semantics of coordination languages - Formal verification of distributed coordinated architectures - Relations between different semantic models for coordination languages
=== Selection Procedure ===
Since its 1st edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has been an innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive discussion amongst authors and PC members.
During the review phase, each submitted paper is published on a Wiki and associated with a discussion forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors of the paper and by all the PC members not in conflict with the paper. The forum is used by reviewers to ask questions and clarifications to the authors, allowing them to better explain all the aspects of their paper. The evaluation of the paper will keep into account not only the reviews, but also the outcome of the discussion.
As witnessed by the past five editions of ICE, this procedure considerably improves the accuracy of the feedback from reviews, the fairness of the selection, the quality of camera-ready papers, and the discussion during the workshop.
=== The Public Wiki ===
After the notification, the accepted papers are published on a public forum, in order to initiate public discussions that will trigger and stimulate the scientific debate at the workshop. We believe that this will drive the workshop discussions and let prospective participants interact with each other much earlier than in more traditional events.
=== Submission Guidelines ===
We invite for three types of submissions: (1) Full Papers, (2) Short Papers, and (3) Brief Announcements of already Published Papers.
Full and short papers to appear in the post-proceedings must report previously unpublished work and not be simultaneously submitted to other conferences/workshops with refereed proceedings. The ICE 2013 post-proceedings will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (http://eptcs.org/). In addition, we invite for brief announcements of already published results, should the authors feel like advertising their work and giving a talk. Brief announcements will not be part of the post-proceedings.
Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2013). Full papers should not exceed 15 pages while short papers and brief announcements should not exceed 5 pages with the EPTCS style (http://style.eptcs.org/).
Accepted (full and short) papers and brief announcements must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.
=== Special Issue ===
Extended versions of the best full papers selected by the PC will be invited to appear in a special issue of the journal of Science of Computer Programming (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/science-of-computer-programming/ ). Such contributions will be regularly peer-reviewed according to the standard journal policy, but they will be handled in a shorter time than regular submissions.
