• Program: COST

• Project acronym: IC1405

• Project title: Reversible Computation

• Duration: 2015-2019

• Coordinator: I. Ulidowski (U. Leicester, UK)

• Abstract: This recently launched COST Action aims to establisjh a research network of excellence on reversible commputation. Reversible computation is an emerging paradigm that extends the standard forward-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. the potential benefits include the design of new reversible logic gates and circuits – leading to low-power computing –, and new conceptual frameworks, language abstractions and software tools for reliable and recovery-oriented distributed systems.
