Call for Papers
=================================================================


Important dates
===============
15 April 2013 Deadline for abstract submission
22 April 2013 Deadline for paper submission
10 June 2013 Notification to authors
30-31 August 2013 Symposium


Scope
=====
The Symposium on Trustworthy Global Computing is an international annual venue dedicated to safe and reliable computation in the so-called global computers, i.e., those computational abstractions emerging in large-scale infrastructures such as service-oriented architectures, autonomic systems and cloud computing. The TGC series focuses on providing frameworks, tools, algorithms and protocols for designing open-ended, large-scaled applications and for reasoning about their behaviour and properties in a rigorous way. The related models of computation incorporate code and data mobility over distributed networks that connect heterogeneous devices and have dynamically changing topologies.


Topics
======
We solicit papers in all areas of global computing, including (but not limited to):

* theories, languages, models and algorithms;
* language concepts and abstraction mechanisms;
* security, trust, privacy and reliability;
* resource usage and information flow policies;
* software development and software principles;
* model checkers, theorem provers and static analyzers.


Submission details
==================
Papers are to be submitted through EasyChair.

Contributions must be in PDF format and consist of no more than 15 pages in the Springer LNCS style. Additional details and proofs omitted due to space limitations may be included in a clearly marked appendix.

Submitted papers must describe work unpublished in refereed venues, and not submitted for publication elsewhere.


Collaboration with CONCUR
=========================
Exceptionally, however, concurrent submissions to CONCUR 2013 and TGC 2013 are allowed, and in fact encouraged for those paper that may potentially enhance both conferences. Authors of such double submissions should identify them to the Program Chairs at the time of submission (by choosing the “Regular Paper submitted to CONCUR” paper category). Reviews may be shared between CONCUR 2013 and TGC 2013. CONCUR’s timeline is ahead of TGC’s; submissions accepted by CONCUR will be considered automatically withdrawn from TGC.


Proceedings
===========
We plan to publish Springer LNCS post-proceedings shortly after the conference, to give the authors the opportunity to take into account discussions and suggestions at the conference.

Pre-proceedings with the accepted papers will be made available at the conference.
