Summary |
Reversible Computation 2009 (RC 2009) workshop will be the first ever meeting in the UK devoted solely to reversible computation. It will provide scientists and postgraduate students with a rare and valuable opportunity to present and discuss the foundations of reversible computing and the state-of-the-art reversibility research, establish new collaboration links and strengthen the existing ones.
The workshop will take place in conjunction with the 12th European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2009. One of the main aims of the workshop is to widen the knowledge of reversible computation among postgraduate students and young researchers from the UK and abroad. In order to achieve this aim, the workshop will have four internationally leading scientists giving invited lectures as well as a number of carefully selected talks presenting the recent developments in reversibility research. Moreover, there will be an industrial involvement in the workshop to enrich further students' experience. A scientist from Undo Software Ltd will present a reversible debugging software tool UndoDB. The invited lectures and presentations will target mainly postgraduate students and young researchers and will provide training in reversible computation as well as stimulate interest in this field.
This application is for financial assistance towards the cost of inviting three eminent overseas scientists to deliver the invited lectures and tutorials, and for registration, accommodation and subsistence expenses for up to ten UK-based PhD students to attend RC 2009.

| Final Report Summary |
Reversible Computation 2009 (RC 2009) workshop was the first ever meeting in the UK devoted solely to reversible computation. It provided scientists and postgraduate students with a rare and valuable opportunity to present and discuss the foundations of reversible computing and the state-of-the-art reversibility research, establish new collaboration links and strengthen the existing ones.
The workshop took place in conjunction with the 12th European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2009. One of the main aims of the workshop is to widen the knowledge of reversible computation among postgraduate students and young researchers from the UK and abroad. In order to achieve this aim, the workshop had four internationally leading scientists giving invited lectures as well as a number of carefully selected talks presenting the recent developments in reversibility research. The invited speakers were Professor Tommaso Toffoli, Professor Alexis De Vos, Professor Kenichi Morita and Dr Tetsuo Yokoyama. The invited lectures and presentations targeted mainly postgraduate students and young researchers and provided training in reversible computation as well as stimulate interest in this field.
The workshop was attended by 27 participants, including 8 UK-based PhD students whose participation was generously supported by the EPSRC. The participants commented that the workshop was interesting, stimulating and educating: a worthwhile gathering of Reversible Computation community. The formal proceedings of RC 2009 will be published as a volume of ENTCS.
