[TYPES/announce] LSFA -- Last Call for Papers

[Vivek Nigam]

(Apologies for multiple copies of this announcement)
==============================================================

       11th Workshop on Logical and Semantic Frameworks, with Applications
                               25-26 June 2016, Porto, Portugal
                                  Satellite event of FSCD 2016

                                    http://lsfa2016.mat.unb.br/

Logical and semantic frameworks are formal languages used to represent
logics,
languages and systems. These frameworks provide foundations for the formal
specification
of systems and programming languages, supporting tool development and
reasoning.

LSFA 2016 aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing work in
progress,
and therefore to provide feedback to authors on their preliminary research.
The
proceedings are produced after the meeting, so that authors can incorporate
this
feedback in the published papers.

LSFA 2016 will be a satellite event of FSCD 2016 taking place in Porto,
Portugal
during 25-26 June 2016. Previous editions took place in Natal (2015),
Brasília (2014),
Sao Paulo (2013), Rio de Janeiro (2012), Belo Horizonte (2011), Natal
(2010),
Brasília (2009), Salvador (2008), Ouro Preto (2007), and Natal (2006).

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

Contributions should be written in English and submitted in the form of full
papers with a maximum of 16 pages including references or short papers

be handed-out at workshop registration. After the workshop the authors of
both
full and short papers will be invited to submit full versions of their
works for
the post-proceedings to be published in ENTCS. At least one of the authors
should
register for the conference. Presentations should be in English.
