Final Call for Papers
WiL 2018: Second Women in Logic Workshop
Oxford, UK
8 July 2018
https://sites.google.com/site/womeninlogic2018/welcome/
Affiliated with the Thirty-Third Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in
Computer Science (LICS), 9-12 July 2018 (http://lics.siglog.org/lics18/)
and held as part of the Federated Logic Conference 2018 (FLoC), 6-19
July 2018 (http://www.floc2018.org/).
We are holding the second Women in Logic Workshop (WiL 2018) as a LICS
associated workshop this year. The workshop follows the pattern of
meetings such as Women in Machine Learning (WiML,
http://wimlworkshop.org/) or Women in Engineering (WIE,
http://www.ieee-ras.org/membership/women-in-engineering) that have
been taking place for quite a few years.
Women are chronically underrepresented in the LICS community;
consequently they sometimes feel both conspicuous and isolated, and
hence there is a risk that the under-representation is
self-perpetuating.
The workshop will provide an opportunity for women in the field to
increase awareness of one another and one another's work, to combat
the feeling of isolation. It will also provide an environment where
women can present to an audience comprised of mostly women,
replicating the experience that most men have at most LICS meetings,
and lowering the stress of the occasion; we hope that this will be
particularly attractive to early-career women.
Topics of interest of this workshop include but are not limited to the
usual Logic in Computer Science (LICS) topics. These are: automata
theory, automated deduction, categorical models and logics,
concurrency and distributed computation, constraint programming,
constructive mathematics, database theory, decision procedures,
description logics, domain theory, finite model theory, formal aspects
of program analysis, formal methods, foundations of computability,
higher-order logic, lambda and combinatory calculi, linear logic,
logic in artificial intelligence, logic programming, logical aspects
of bioinformatics, logical aspects of computational complexity,
logical aspects of quantum computation, logical frameworks, logics of
programs, modal and temporal logics, model checking, probabilistic
systems, process calculi, programming language semantics, proof
theory, real-time systems, reasoning about security and privacy,
rewriting, type systems and type theory, and verification.
