SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
SYMPOSIUM ON LOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE (LFCS'09)
Deerfield Beach, Florida, January 3-6, 2009

The LFCS series provides an outlet for the fast-growing body of work in 
the logical foundations of computer science, e.g., areas of fundamental 
theoretical logic related to computer science. The LFCS series began 
with Logic at Botik, Pereslavl-Zalessky, 1989, and was co-organized by 
Albert R. Meyer (MIT) and  Michael Taitslin (Tver), after which 
organization passed to Anil Nerode.

 * John McCarthy, Stanford;
 * J. Alan Robinson, Syracuse, NY;
 * Gerald Sacks, Cambridge, MA;
 * Dana Scott, Pittsburgh.

LFCS Topics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* constructive mathematics and type theory;
* logic, automata and automatic structures;
