For more information, please refer to the Authors Info and Registration Info pages. The symposium policy and professional ethics require that referees treat the contents of papers under review as privileged information not to be disclosed to others before publication. It is expected that no one with access to a manuscript under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge which that access provides. Proceedings Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings. Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the HPCS 2018 Conference web site. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings is projected to be included in the IEEE or ACM Digital Library and indexed in all major indexing services accordingly. SPECIAL ISSUE Plans are underway to have the best papers, in extended version, selected for possible publication in a reputable journal as special issue. Detailed information will soon be announced and will be made available on the conference website. Furthermore, it is confirmed that after the 4PAD symposium, authors of selected papers will be invited to submitted extended version of their papers for possible publication in a special issue of the Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming (JLAMP, https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-logical-and-algebraic-methods-in-programming). If you have any questions about paper submission or the symposium, please contact the symposium organizers.
