Paper submission is now closed

The 7th International Workshop on Physics and Computation (PC2016) will be held, on the 14th of July 2016, as a satellite workshop during UCNC 2016 which runs from 11–15 July 2016.

Typical, but not exclusive, topics include:

  • Axiomatisation of physics: completeness, decidability, reduction
  • Dynamical systems: computability, complexity
  • Hypercomputation
  • Molecular computation and reaction-diffusion models
  • Multiple-substrate computation
  • Novel models of computation
  • Philosophy of physics and computation
  • (Physical) Church-Turing thesis
  • Quantum computation and information
  • Quantum logics
  • Randomness: quantum, dynamical & physical randomness
  • Relativistic computation
  • Theory of measurement: axiomatisation, complexity

Invited Speakers


Gilles Dowek (Inria & ENS Cachan)
Ana Belén Sainz (University of Bristol)

Important Dates


Submission deadline: 8 April 2016 (Extended)
Notification of acceptance: 17 May 2016
Final version of papers due: 10 June 2016

Submission


Authors are invited to submit original papers (12 pages maximum) to the workshop EasyChair site. Extended abstracts (4–5 pages) may also be submitted, although preference will be given to full papers. Please see the submissions page for detailed formatting and submission instructions.

Proceedings


The proceedings will be published as a volume of Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) before the workshop. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit revised and extended versions of their papers, subject to additional review, for publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Unconventional Computing (IJUC).
