FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

First International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD'16)

22 June -- 26 June 2016, Porto, Portugal http://fscd2016.dcc.fc.up.pt/

*** ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DUE 29 JANUARY 2016 *** **** PAPER SUBMISSION DUE 5 FEBRUARY 2016 ****

========================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract Submission: 29 January 2016 Paper Submission : 5 February 2016 Rebuttal : 21 - 23 March 2016 Notification : 6 April 2016 ==========================================================================

FSCD (http://fscdconference.org/) covers all aspects of formal structures for computation and deduction from theoretical foundations to applications. Building on two communities, RTA (Rewriting Techniques and Applications) and TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications), FSCD embraces their core topics and broadens their scope to closely related areas in logics, proof theory and new emerging models of computation such as quantum computing and homotopy type theory. The name of the new conference comes from an unpublished but important book by Gerard Huet that strongly influenced many researchers in the area.

Suggested, but not exclusive, list of topics for submission are:

1 Calculi * Lambda calculus * Logics (first-order, higher-order, equational, modal, linear, classical, constructive, etc.) * Rewriting systems (string, term, higher-order, graph, conditional, modulo, infinitary, etc.) * Proof theory (natural deduction, sequent calculus, proof nets, etc.) * Type theory and logical frameworks * Homotopy type theory

2. Methods in Computation and Deduction * Type systems (polymorphism, dependent, recursive, intersection, session, etc.) * Induction, coinduction * Matching, unification, completion, orderings * Strategies (normalization, completeness, etc.) * Tree automata * Model building and model checking * Proof search (resolution, paramodulation, narrowing, focusing, etc.) * Constraint solving and decision procedures

3. Semantics * Operational semantics and abstract machines * Game Semantics and applications * Domain theory and categorical models * Quantitative models (timing, probabilities, resources, etc.) * Quantum computation and emerging models in computation

4. Algorithmic Analysis and Transformations of Formal Systems * Type Inference and type checking * Abstract Interpretation * Complexity analysis and implicit computational complexity * Checking termination, confluence, derivational complexity and related properties * Symbolic computation

5. Tools and Applications * Programming and proof environments (proof assistants, automated theorem prover, proof checkers, specialized provers, dependently typed languages, etc.) * Verification tools (abstract interpretation, termination, confluence, specialized provers, etc.) * Libraries for proof assistants and interactive theorem provers (support for variable bindings, nominal, polynomial, equality, etc.) * Case studies in proof assistants and interactive theorem provers (formalizations, mechanizations, certifications) * Certifications (theorems, rewriting techniques, etc.) * Applications of formal systems inside and outside of CS (biology, linguistics, physics, education, etc.)

PUBLICATION The proceedings will be published as an electronic volume in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs). All LIPIcs proceedings are open access.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions can be made in two categories: regular research papers and system descriptions.

Submissions of research papers must present original research which is unpublished and not submitted elsewhere. They must not exceed 15 pages (including figures and bibliography). Submissions of research papers will be judged on originality, significance, correctness, and readability.

Submission of system descriptions must describe a working system which has not been published or submitted elsewhere. They must not exceed 10 pages and should contain a link to a working system. System descriptions will be judged on originality, significance, usefulness, and readability.

Proofs of theoretical results that do not fit within the page limit, executables of systems, code of case studies, benchmarks used to evaluate a given system, should be made available, via a reference to a website or in an appendix of the paper. Reviewers will be encouraged to consider this additional material, but are not obliged to. Submissions must be self-contained within the respective page limit; considering the additional material should not be necessary to assess the merits of a submission.

Submissions must be formatted using the LIPIcs style files using the instructions at

http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/

A condition of submission is that, if accepted, one of the authors must attend the conference to give the presentation.

Papers should be submitted via easychair. The submission site is at

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fscd16

CONFERENCE AWARDS

Two awards will be selected: one for the best paper and another one for the best student paper.

SPECIAL ISSUE

After the conference, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their work to a special issue published in the open-access journal Logical Methods in Computer Science (LMCS).

SATELLITE EVENTS

The following meetings and workshops are colocated with FSCD 2016: CL&C, DCM, HDRA, HOR, IFIP Working Group 1.6, ITRS, Linearity, LFMTP, LSFA, UNIF, WPTE, WWV.
