皆様、

東京大学の小林と申します。
すでに他のメーリングリストでご欄いただいているかもしれませんが、
締め切りが近くなりましたので、FSCD 2021 の論文募集案内をお送りさせていただきます。
当初Buenos Airesで開催予定でしたが、COVID-19のため、オンライン開催となっております

        Abstract:      February 12, 2021
        Submission:    February 15, 2021
        Rebuttal:      April 2-5, 2021
        Notification:  April 19, 2021
        Final version: May 3, 2021

FSCD (http://fscd-conference.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, models of computation,
semantics and verification in new challenging areas.

The suggested, but not exclusive, list of topics for submission is:

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

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 and theorem proving;
 - 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, 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;
 - Verification tools;
 - Proof assistants and interactive theorem provers;
 - Applications in industry;
 - Applications of formal systems in other sciences.

6. Semantics and Verification in new challenging areas:
 - Certification;
 - Security;
 - Blockchain protocols;
 - Data Bases;
 - Deep learning and machine learning algorithms;
 - Planning.

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

SPECIAL ISSUE
-------------
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended
version to a special issue of Logical Methods in Computer Science.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
---------------------
The submission site is:

  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fscd2021

Submissions can be made in two categories. Regular research papers are
limited to 15 pages, excluding references and appendices. They must
present original research which is unpublished and not submitted
elsewhere. System descriptions are limited to 15 pages (including
references) and must present new software tools in which FSCD topics
play an important role, or significantly new versions of such tools.
An archive of the code with instructions on how to install and run the
tool must be submitted. In addition, a webpage where the system can be
experimented with should be provided. Complete instructions on
submitting a paper can be found on the conference web site:

  https://fscd2021.dc.uba.ar/

One author of an accepted paper is expected to present it at the conference

BEST PAPER AWARD BY JUNIOR RESEARCHERS
--------------------------------------
The program committee will select a paper in which at least one author
is a junior researcher, i.e. either a student or whose PhD award date
is less than three years from the first day of the meeting. Other
authors should declare to the PC Chair that at least 50% of
contribution is made by the junior researcher(s).
