12th Conference on Reversible Computation

RC 2020


Engineering & Computer Science (General)



Reversible computation has a growing number of promising application areas such as low power design, coding/decoding, debugging, testing and verification, database recovery, discrete event simulation, reversible algorithms, reversible specification formalisms, reversible programming languages, process algebras, and the modeling of biochemical systems. Furthermore, reversible logic provides a basis for quantum computation with its applications, for example, in cryptography and in the development of highly efficient algorithms. First reversible circuits and quantum circuits have been implemented and are seen as promising alternatives to conventional CMOS technology.
The conference will bring together researchers from computer science, mathematics, and physics to discuss new developments and directions for future research in Reversible Computation. This includes applications of reversibility in quantum computation. Research papers, tutorials, tool demonstrations, and work-in-progress reports are within the scope of the conference. Invited talks by leading international experts will complete the program. Contributions on all areas of Reversible Computation are welcome, including---but not limited to---the following topics:
* Applications
* Architectures
* Algorithms
* Bidirectional transformations
* Circuit Design
* Debugging
* Fault Tolerance and Error Correction
* Hardware
* Information Theory
* Physical Realizations
* Programming Languages
* Quantum Computation
* Software
* Synthesis
* Theoretical Results
* Testing
* Verification

TO BE ANNOUNCED
===== Paper submission =====
Interested researchers are invited to submit full research papers (16
pages maximum), tutorials (16 pages maximum), as well as
work-in-progress or tool demonstration papers (6 pages maximum) in
Springer LNCS format. Additional material intended for reviewers but
not for publication in the final version - for example, details of
proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not
included in the page limit. Reviewers are at liberty to ignore
appendices and papers must be understandable without them.
Contributions must be written in English and report on original,
unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions
not adhering to the specified constraints may be rejected without
review. Each paper will undergo a peer review of at least 3 anonymous
reviewers. All accepted papers will be included in the conference
proceedings and published by Springer as a Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) volume. Papers can be submitted electronically in pdf
via the RC 2020 interface of the EasyChair system:
