The Interaction and Concurrency Experience (ICE) series of
international scientific meetings are a forum for computer science
researchers with research interests in models, verification, tools,
and programming primitives for complex interactions.

* Distinctive selection procedure
* ICE welcomes full papers to be included in the proceedings
* ICE also welcomes oral communications of already published or
preliminary work
* New this year: two-round paper submission.
* Publication in EPTCS
* Special issue in the Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in
Programming (Elsevier) (to be confirmed)
* Invited speaker: Jorge A. Pérez (University of Groningen, NL)
=== IMPORTANT DATES ===
- March 27th, 2024 : Abstract submission deadline
- April 3rd, 2024 : 1st paper submission deadline

needed)
- April 3rd -- May 1st, 2024 : Forum interaction, reviews, and PC discussion

- July 20th, 2024 : Camera-ready for post-proceedings
- October, 2024 (tentative) : Invitation to special issue
All dates are in the anywhere on Earth time zone, and deadlines are firm.
=== SCOPE ===
The general scope of the workshop is interaction and concurrency,
broadly construed. The workshop welcomes contributions spanning the
spectrum from theoretical models to practical implementations and
empirical studies. Topics of interest include (but are not limited
to):
* Formal semantics
* Process algebras and calculi
* Models and languages
* Protocols
* Logics and types
* Expressiveness
* Model transformations
* Tools, implementations, and experiments
* Specification and verification
* Coinductive techniques
* Tools and techniques for automation
* Synthesis techniques
Prospective authors are welcome to contact the chairs for advice on
whether their proposed submission is in scope.
=== SELECTION PROCEDURE ===
Since its first edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has
been an innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive,
friendly, and constructive discussion amongst authors and PC members
in an online forum.
During the review phase, each submission is published in a dedicated
discussion forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors
of the submission and by all PC members not in conflict with the
submission (the forum preserves anonymity). The forum is used by
reviewers to ask questions, clarifications, and modifications from the
authors, allowing them better to explain and to improve all aspects of
their submission. The evaluation of the submission will take into
account not only the reviews, but also the outcome of the discussion.
As witnessed by the past editions of ICE, this procedure considerably
improves the accuracy of the reviews, the fairness of the selection,
the quality of camera-ready papers, and the discussion during the
workshop.
ICE adopts a light double-blind reviewing process, detailed below.
This year, ICE implements a two-round paper submission procedure,
with the understanding that all deadlines are now firm, and that
papers submitted during the second round will have less time for
discussion and feedback.
=== SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ===
Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via hotcrp:
https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fice24.hotcrp.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7C8d259cc73d5d4634e66808dc4d98109a%7Ccc7df24760ce4a0f9d75704cf60efc64%7C0%7C0%7C638470562705144936%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=82aqYH6i%2FoMv97j7WCSh0u49qgWweuXjunSqh%2FWUnRY%3D&reserved=0
We invite two types of submissions:
* Research papers: original contributions that will be published
in the workshop post-proceedings. Research papers must not be
simultaneously submitted to other conferences or workshops with
refereed proceedings. Research papers should be 3-16 pages
(references not included). Short research papers are
welcome; for example a 5 page short paper fits this category
perfectly. The submitted PDF can use any LaTeX style (but the
post-proceedings will use the EPTCS style).
* Oral communications: will be presented at the workshop, but will
not appear in the post-proceedings. This type of contribution
includes e.g. previously published contributions, preliminary
work, and position papers. There is no strict page limit for
this kind of submission but papers of 1-5 pages would be
appreciated. For example, a one page summary of previously
published work is welcome in this category.
Authors of research papers must omit their names and institutions from
the title page, they should refer to their other work in the third
person and omit acknowledgements that could reveal their identity or
affiliation. The purpose is to avoid any bias based on authors’
identity characteristics, such as gender, seniority, or nationality,
in the review process. Our goal is to facilitate an unbiased approach
to reviewing by supporting reviewers’ access to works that do not
carry obvious references to the authors’ identities. As mentioned
above, this is a lightweight double-blind process. Anonymization
should not be a heavy burden for authors, and should not make papers
weaker or more difficult to review. Advertising the paper on alternate
forums (e.g., on a personal web-page, pre-print archive, email, talks,
discussions with colleagues) is permitted, and authors will not be
penalized by for such advertisement.
Papers in the “Oral communications” category need not be
anonymized. For any questions concerning the double blind process,
feel free to consult the ICEcreamers.
We are keen to enhance the balanced, inclusive and diverse nature of
the ICE community, and would particularly encourage female colleagues
and members of other underrepresented groups to submit their work.
=== PUBLICATIONS ===
Accepted research papers and communications must be presented at the
workshop by one of the authors.
Accepted research papers will be published after the workshop in
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science.
We plan to invite authors of selected papers and brief announcements
to submit their work in a special issue in the Journal of Logical and
Algebraic Methods in Programming (Elsevier). Such contributions will
be peer-reviewed according to the standard journal policy, but they
will be handled in a shorter time than regular submissions. A list of
published and in preparation special issues of previous ICE editions
is reported on the ICE website.
=== INVITED SPEAKER ===
Jorge A. Pérez -- Asynchronous Session-Based Concurrency
While formal models of concurrency tend to focus on synchronous communication,
asynchronous communication is of clear practical relevance: it is the standard
in most distributed systems and web-based applications nowadays. This talk will
discuss asynchronous communication in the context of session-based concurrency,
the model of computation in which session types specify the structure of the
two-party protocols implemented by the channels of a
communicating process.
In my talk, I will overview several recent results on asynchronous
session-based concurrency. Specifically, I will discuss the challenge of
ensuring the deadlock-freedom property for message-passing processes that
communicate asynchronously in cyclic process networks governed by session types.
--- Biography ---
Jorge A. Pérez is Associate Professor (tenured) at the University of
Groningen, The Netherlands. Since 2019, he leads the Fundamental Computing
Group, one of the research groups of the Bernoulli Institute of Mathematics,
Computer Science, and Artificial Intelligence. Prior to his current position in
Groningen, Jorge worked as Post-doctoral Researcher at NOVA University Lisbon
(2010-2014) and obtained his PhD at the University of Bologna (2010).
Jorge’s research interests concern Concurrency Theory, Semantics of
Programming Languages, and Logic in Computer Science. During February 2019 -
January 2024, his research was supported by the Dutch Research Council (NWO)
under a prestigious VIDI grant entitled “Unifying Correctness for
Communicating Software”.
