ICALP 2027 Track B - First Call for Papers (First Round)
https://icalp.uj.edu.pl/track-b/
========================================================

The 54th EATCS International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and
Programming
(ICALP) will take place in:

Kraków, Poland, July 5-9, 2027

ICALP is the main conference and annual meeting of the European Association
for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). As usual, ICALP will be
collocated with a series of workshops.

The 2027 edition has the following features:

- Submissions are anonymous; for track B, there is a rebuttal phase.
- For the first time, Track B will be using a two-round submission process.
A paper can be submitted to one out of two submission deadlines, but not to
both. (Track A has only one round.)
- The conference is planned as a physical, in-person event.

========================================================

========================================================
Submission guidelines (for Track B)
========================================================

1) Papers must present original research on the theory of computer science.
No prior publication and no simultaneous submission to other publication
outlets (either a conference or a journal) is allowed. Authors are
encouraged to also make full versions of their submissions freely
accessible in an on-line repository such as ArXiv, HAL, ECCC.

2) Submissions should start with a title page consisting of the title of
the paper, no author information (see below), and an abstract. There is no
page limit and authors are encouraged to use the “full version” of their
paper as the submission. The submission should contain, within the initial
ten pages following the title page, a clear presentation of the merits of
the paper, its main contributions, and key concepts and technical ideas
used to obtain the results. Submissions must provide proofs that allow the
verification of the mathematical claims of the paper. Although there is no
bound on the length of a submission, material other than the abstract,
references, and the first ten pages will be read at the committee’s
discretion. The submission should be typeset using readable fonts (e.g.
11-point), in a single-column format with ample spacing throughout (e.g.
single-space between lines and 1-inch margins all around). The use of the
LIPIcs document class is recommended.

3) Submissions are anonymous. The conference will employ a lightweight
double-blind reviewing process. Submissions should not reveal the identity
of the authors in any way. Authors should ensure that any references to
their own related work are in the third person (e.g., not “We build on our
previous work…” but rather “We build on the work of …”).

The purpose of this double-blind process is to help PC members and external
reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, and not
to make it impossible for them to discover who the authors are if they were
to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the
submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult. In
particular, important references should not be omitted. In addition,
authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of
their paper as they normally would. For example, authors may post drafts of
their papers on the web, submit them to arXiv, and give talks on their
research ideas.

4) Submissions authored or co-authored by members of the program committee
are allowed.

5) The submissions are done via HotCRP to the appropriate track of the
conference. The use of pdflatex or similar pdf generating tools is
mandatory. Papers that deviate significantly from these requirements risk
rejection without consideration of merit.

6) For Track B, the authors will have the opportunity to view and respond
to initial reviews. Further instructions will be sent to authors of
submitted papers before that time.

7) At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register for
the conference, and all talks are in-person. In exceptional cases,
alternative arrangements may be considered by the program co-chairs.

8) Papers authored only by students should be marked as such upon
submission in order to be eligible for the best student paper awards of the
track.

9) For Track B, we use a two-round submission process. A paper may be
submitted to one out of two submission deadlines, but not to both. The
decision for the first round is final (no “carry over” to the second
round); if a paper is rejected then, it cannot be resubmitted to the second
round. (Note that Track A has only one round.)

========================================================
Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
========================================================

1) Use of AI tools for conducting research must be disclosed in a submitted
paper, with their specific uses described in detail. Such uses include the
design of the research project, creation of theories and algorithms,
designing experiments, generation and collection of data, coding, data
analysis, testing, assisting with writing, or any aspects that are directly
relevant to the conclusion of the research.

2) All named authors on a submission will be held responsible and
accountable for any problematic content contained in the submission,
regardless of its source.

3) PC members and subreferees must preserve confidentiality of the
submitted material; in particular, it should not be passed to external AI
tools.

========================================================
Proceedings
========================================================

ICALP proceedings are published in the Leibniz International Proceedings in
Informatics (LIPIcs) series. This is a series of high-quality conference
proceedings across all fields in informatics established in cooperation
with Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics.
LIPIcs volumes are published according to the principle of Open Access,
i.e., they are available online and free of charge. The accepted papers
will need to comply with the LIPIcs style.

========================================================
Topics
========================================================

Papers presenting original research on all aspects of theoretical computer
science are sought. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest are:

Track B: Automata, Logic, Semantics, and Theory of Programming
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Algebraic and Categorical Models of Computation
Automata, Logic, and Games
Database Theory, Constraint Satisfaction Problems, and Finite Model Theory
