Third International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD'18)
Oxford, UK, July 9 - 12th, 2018.
http://fscd-conference.org/editions/fscd-2018 <http://fscd-conference.org/editions/fscd-2018>

Part of The Federated Logic Conference, FLoC 2018,
Oxford, UK, July 6 - 19th, 2018.
http://www.floc2018.org <http://www.floc2018.org/>

==================================================================

TOPICS: FSCD 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 or homotopy type theory.

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

1. Calculi: Lambda calculus - Concurrent calculi - Logics - Rewriting systems - Proof theory - Type theory and logical frameworks
2. Methods in Computation and Deduction: Type systems - Induction and coinduction - Matching, unification, completion, and orderings - Strategies - Tree automata - Model checking - Proof search and theorem proving - Constraint solving and decision procedures
3. Semantics: Operational semantics - Abstract machines - Game Semantics - Domain theory and categorical models - Quantitative models
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 - Libraries for proof assistants and interactive theorem provers - Case studies in proof assistants and interactive theorem provers - Certification - Applications to security, planning, data bases,…

BEST PAPER AWARD BY JUNIOR RESEARCHERS: The program committee will consider declaring this award
to 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).

PUBLICATION : The proceedings will be published as an electronic volume in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) of Schloss Dagstuhl.
http://www.dagstuhl.de/publikationen/lipics/ <http://www.dagstuhl.de/publikationen/lipics/>
All LIPIcs proceedings are open access.

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

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submissions can be made in two categories.

• Regular research papers are limited to 15 pages and must present original research which is unpublished and not submitted elsewhere.
• System descriptions are limited to 6 pages (excluding references) and must present new software tools in which FSCD topics play an important role, or significantly new versions of such tools. Please check http://www.cs.le.ac.uk/events/fscd2018/cfp.html#guidelines <http://www.cs.le.ac.uk/events/fscd2018/cfp.html#guidelines>, for more details on what should a system description contain.

Submissions must be formatted using the LIPIcs style files (http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/) and submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fscd18 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fscd18>).

IMPORTANT DATES: All deadlines are midnight anywhere-on-earth (AoE); late submissions will not be considered.
