               Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction
                                    FSCD 2016
                                22-26 June 2016

                                                      "It is our thesis that formal elegance is
                                                       a prerequisite to efficient implementation."
                                                                                          -- Gérard Huet


FSCD is a new conference covering 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
and homotopy type theory.
