When =
Sep 21, 2016 - Sep 2=
4, 2016
Where  =
; Gregynog, UK
Submission Deadline June 3, 2016
Notification &nbs=
p; June 17, 2016
Final Version Due July =

AIMS AND SCOPE
The algebraic approach to system specification encom=
passes many
aspects of the formal design of software systems. Or=
iginally born as
formal method for reasoning about abstract data type=
s, it now covers
new specification frameworks and programming paradig=
ms (such as
object-oriented, aspect-oriented, agent-oriented, lo=
gic and
higher-order functional programming) as well as a wi=
de range of
application areas (including information systems, co=
ncurrent,
distributed and mobile systems). The workshop will p=
rovide an
opportunity to present recent and ongoing work, to m=
eet colleagues,
and to discuss new ideas and future trends.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest are: <= o:p>
- Foundations of algebraic specification
- Other approaches to formal specification, includin=
g process
calculi and models of concurrent, distri=
buted and mobile computing
- Specification languages, methods, and environments=
- Semantics of conceptual modelling methods and tech=
niques
- Model-driven development
- Graph transformations, term rewriting and proof sy=
stems
- Integration of formal specification techniques
- Formal testing and quality assurance, validation, =
and verification
INVITED SPEAKERS
- Alessio Lomuscio (London, UK)
- Till Mossakowski (Magdeburg, Germany)
- John Tucker (Swansea, UK)
WORKSHOP FORMAT AND LOCATION
The workshop will take place over four days, Wednesd=
ay to Saturday, at
Gregynog Hall in Wales, UK (http://www.gregynog.org). Participants
should arrive on Tuesday evening, the workshop will =
end on Saturday
with lunch.
Presentations will be selected on the basis of submi=
tted abstracts.

Notification of acceptance: June 17, 2016
Early registration: June 17, 2016
Final abstract due: July 1, 2016
Workshop in Gregynog: September 21-24, 2016
SUBMISSIONS
The scientific programme of the workshop will includ=
e presentations of
recent results and ongoing research. The presentatio=
ns will be
selected by the Steering Committee on the basis of s=
ubmitted abstracts
according to originality, significance and general i=
nterest. The
abstracts must be up to two pages long including ref=
erences. 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 vi=
a the EasyChair
system.
PROCEEDINGS
After the workshop, authors will be invited to submi=
t full papers for
the refereed proceedings. All submissions will be re=
viewed; selection
will be based on originality, soundness and signific=
ance of the
presented ideas and results. The proceedings will be=
published as a
volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (Springe=
r).
SPONSORSHIP
The workshop takes place under the auspices of IFIP =
WG 1.3.
