Organized by COST Action IC1405: Reversible Computation - Extending Horizons of Computing

---

Reversible computation is an emerging paradigm that extends the standard forwards-only mode of computation with the ability to execute in reverse, so that computation can run backwards as naturally as it can go forwards. It aims to deliver novel computing devices and software, and to enhance traditional systems by equipping them with reversibility. The potential benefits include the design of revolutionary reversible logic gates and circuits - leading to low-power computing and innovative hardware for green ICT, and new conceptual frameworks, language abstractions and software tools for reliable and recovery oriented distributed systems. Further application areas include quantum computing, debugging, simulation, biological modeling, robotics, and others.

The school mainly targets PhD students and early-career researchers interested in reversible computation, but other potential participants (e.g., from industry, or more senior researchers) can register and attend as well.

he training school will be followed by a two-day meeting of the COST Action IC1405. Participants of the summer school from participating in the Action countries (see the list at http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/ict/IC1405?parties) are welcome to are welcome to attend the meeting as well but may need to cover the costs of attending from their own funds. Please contact Irek Ulidowsk (iu3@leicester.ac.uk) if interested.

Cost of training school and trainee grants

The training school is associated with the COST Action IC1405, which covers the expenses for the training school. Thus, participation at the training school is free, which includes materials, lunches, and coffee breaks during the four days. Additional expenses, such as travel, accommodation, other meals, and possible social events, are not covered. For more information, see Registration.

The COST action can support up to fifty trainee grants to cover travel and accommodation costs. For more information and application procedure, see Grants.

Accommodation

We have arranged possible discounted accommodation near to the venue at the hotels Ibis or Polonia. Prices from 30 EUR per night incl. breakfast. For more information and how to book these, see Accommodation.
