The 19th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing (ICTAC) will be held in Tbilisi, Georgia, September 27-29, 2022. The conference will be organized by Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University and will be part of Computational Logic Autumn Summit (https://viam.science.tsu.ge/clas2022/).

Taking into account the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine, the conference will be organized as a hybrid event.

Overview
The ICTAC conference series aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to present research and exchange ideas and experience addressing challenges in both theoretical aspects of computing and the exploitation of theory through methods and tools for system development. ICTAC also aims to promote research cooperation between developing and industrial countries.

The conference concerns all aspect of theoretical computer science, including, but not limited to:

Languages and automata
Semantics of programming languages
Logic in computer science
Lambda calculus, type theory and category theory
Domain-specific languages
Theories of concurrency and mobility
Theories of distributed computing
Models of objects and components
Coordination models
Timed, hybrid, embedded and cyber-physical systems
Security and privacy
Static analysis
Probabilistic and statistical verification
Software verification
Software testing
Runtime verification
Program generation and transformation
Model checking and theorem proving
Applications and case studies
AI-enabled software development
Theory and methods of trustworthy AI


Publication
We solicit submissions, related to the topics of ICTAC, in the following categories:
original research contributions (16 pages max, excluding references);
applications and experiences (16 pages max, excluding references);
short papers, with original work in progress or with proposals of new ideas and emerging challenges (6 pages max, excluding references); and
tool papers (6 pages max, excluding references).
All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted concurrently for publication elsewhere. Paper submission is done via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ictac2022. Papers must be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer LNCS papers (see http://www.springer.com/lncs), without modifications of margins and other space-saving measures. Authors should therefore consult Springer’s authors’ instructions and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.

All accepted papers in categories A-D will appear in the proceedings of the conference that will be published as a volume in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
