The 15th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering (TASE 2021)
https://tase2021.github.io/
Aug. 25-27, Shanghai, China
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

TASE is an international symposium that aims to bring together researchers and developers from academia and industry with interest in the theoretical aspects of software engineering. Modern society is increasingly dependent on software systems that are becoming larger and more complex. This poses new challenges to current software engineering methodologies that need to be enhanced using modern results from theoretical computer science. We invite submission of research papers on topics covering all theoretical aspects of software engineering, including those describing applications of theoretical computer science in industrial applications and software engineering methodologies.

The 15th Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering Conference (TASE 2021) will be held in Shanghai, China on August 25-27, 2021. The proceedings of the TASE 2021 symposium are planned to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. The authors of a selected subset of accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a special issue of the Science of Computer Programs journal.

Authors are invited to submit high quality technical papers describing original and unpublished work in all theoretical aspects of software engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

■ Abstract interpretation
■ Algebraic and co-algebraic specifications
■ AI for formal methods
■ Component-based software engineering
■ Cyber-physical systems
■ Deductive verification
■ Distributed and concurrent systems
■ Domain Engineering
■ Embedded and real-time systems
■ Feature-oriented software
■ Formal methods, verification and testing for AI systems
■ Run-time verification and monitoring
■ Semantic web and web services
■ Service-oriented and cloud computing
■ Software processes and workflows
■ Software architectures and design
■ Formal verification and program semantics
■ Fundamental theories and techniques for trustworthy AI systems
■ Integration of formal methods
■ Language design
■ Model checking and theorem proving
■ Model-driven engineering
