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 modelling 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.

===== 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 Additional material intended for reviewers but not for publication in the final version—for example, details of proofs—may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit.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 Contributions must be written in English and report on original, unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere.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. Papers can be submitted electronically in PDF via the RC 2022 interface of the EasyChair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rc2022

Selected papers will be invited to a special issue of the Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming.
