This open access State-of-the-Art Survey presents the main recent scientific outcomes in the area of reversible computation, focusing on those that have emerged during COST Action IC1405 "Reversible Computation - Extending Horizons of Computing", a European research network that operated from May 2015 to April 2019.Reversible computation is a new paradigm that extends the traditional forwards-only mode of computation with the ability to execute in reverse, so that computation can run backwards as easily and naturally as forwards. It aims to deliver novel computing devices and software, and to enhance existing systems by equipping them with reversibility. There are many potential applications of reversible computation, including languages and software tools for reliable and recovery-oriented distributed systems and revolutionary reversible logic gates and circuits, but they can only be realized and have lasting effect if conceptual and firm theoretical foundations are established first.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Reversible Computation, RC 2020, held in Oslo, Norway, in July 2020. The 17 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: theory and foundation;

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the International Symposium on Formal Aspects of Component Software, FACS 2014, held in Bertinoro, Italy, in September 2014. The 20 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 36th IFIP WG 6.1International Conference on Formal Techniques for Distributed Objects,Components, and Systems, FORTE 2016, held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, in June2016, as part of the 11th International Federated Conference onDistributed Computing Techniques, DisCoTec 2016.The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed andselected from 44 submissions. The papers present a wide range of topicson distributed computing models and formal specification, testing, andverification methods.
