=== Important Dates ===


1 May 2014...................... Abstract submission

proceedings

17-18  July 2014............. PSC in Vienna


=== Scope ===


The extraction of computational content from proofs has a long tradition in
logic, but usually depends on a concrete encoding that allows us to turn
proofs into algorithms. A recent trend in this field is the departure from
such encoding which not only makes it simpler to represent the mathematical
content, but also makes the extracted computational content encoding
independent. This shift in focus allows us to focus on what is relevant:
the computational aspects of proofs and the specification (not
representation) of the structures involved. We now have growing evidence
that this move from representations (e.g. the signed digit representation
of the reals) to axioms (e.g. of the real numbers) is possible. This
development largely parallels the step from assembler to high level
languages in programming.


As a by-product this move has already opened up the possibility to gain
computational information from axiomatic proofs in more abstract and
genuinely structural areas of mathematics such as algebra and topology.


=== Invited Speakers ===


Ulrich Berger (Swansea University, UK)

Martin Escardo (University of Birmingham, UK)


=== Submissions ===


We welcome 1-2-page abstracts presenting (finished, ongoing, or if clearly
stated even published) work on proof, structure, and computation.
Particular topics of interest are



   - Proof Theory
   - Program Extraction
   - Constructive Mathematics
   - Topology and Computation
   - Realisability Semantics
   - Coalgebra and Computation
   - Categorical Models
   - Domain Theory
   - Interval Analysis



=== Submission Guidelines ===


Abstracts are invited of ongoing, finished, or (if clearly stated) even
published work on a topic relevant to the workshop.


The abstracts will appear in electronic pre-proceedings that will be
distributed at the meeting.


Abstracts (at most 2 pages, in LNCS style) are to be be submitted
electronically in PDF via EasyChair
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psc2014)<http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2014>
.


Accepted communications must be presented at the workshop by one of the
authors.


=== Special Issue ===


We plan to invite extended versions of selected abstract with original work
to post-proceedings in a journal special issue. They will be peer-reviewed
according to the standard journal policy.
