The Conference on Reversible Computation will bring together researchers from computer science, mathematics, engineering, and physics to discuss new developments and directions for future research in the emerging area of Reversible Computation. This particularly includes applications of reversibility in quantum computation. Research papers, tool demonstrations, and work-in-progress reports are within the scope of the conference.
Scope
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.
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
- Program Transformation and Optimisation
- Quantum Computation
- Software
- Synthesis
- Theoretical Results
- Testing
- Verification

Submission guidelines
In order to submit a paper to the Reversible Computation conference, please follow these guidelines: You can submit
- full research papers (15 pages maximum),
- tutorials (15 pages maximum),
- work-in-progress or tool demonstration papers (6 pages maximum).
The stated page limits do not include references. Additional material intended for reviewers but not for publication in the final version — for example, details of proofs — may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit.
The paper submission will be accepted as a PDF file using the LNCS style.
At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to register and present the paper at the conference. We would appreciate if one person would not present more than two papers at the conference: if more than two papers are accepted by a group of authors, we kindly ask that the papers be presented by different co-authors, as far as possible. PC chairs and general chairs are not permitted to submit papers to the conference.
All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published by Springer as a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volume.
