SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
26th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2017)
August 20-24, 2017, Stockholm, Sweden
https://www.csl17.conf.kth.se
=================================================================

AIM AND SCOPE
Computer Science Logic (CSL) is the annual conference of the European 
Association for Computer Science Logic (EACSL). It is an 
interdisciplinary conference, spanning across both basic and application 
oriented research in mathematical logic and computer science and is 
intended for computer scientists whose research involves logic, as well 
as for logicians working on issues essential for computer science.

CSL 2017 is the 26th EACSL annual conference. It will be co-organised by 
Stockholm University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and hosted 
by Stockholm University. CSL 2017 will be co-located with, and 
immediately preceded by, the Logic Colloquium 2017 (LC 2017). There will 
be a joint session of CSL 2017 and LC 2017 in the morning of August 20, 
as well as CSL-affiliated workshops during August 25-26.

SUBMISSIONS
-----------
The CSL 2017 conference proceedings will be published in Leibniz 
International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs).

Authors are invited to submit contributed papers of no more than 15 
pages in LIPIcs style (including references), presenting not previously 
published  work, fitting the scope of the conference.

The submission of contributed papers will be in two stages:
  * abstracts, due by March 24, 2017 (AoE);
  * full papers, due by March 31, 2017 (AoE).

The submissions must be done via the EasyChair page for the conference:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=CSL 2017.

Submitted papers must be in English and must provide sufficient detail 
to allow the Programme Committee to assess the merits of the paper. Full 
proofs may appear in a clearly marked technical appendix which will be 
read at the reviewers' discretion.  Authors are strongly encouraged to 
include a well written introduction which is directed at all members of 
the PC.

Papers may not be submitted concurrently to another conference with 
refereed proceedings. The PC chairs should be informed of closely 
related work submitted to a conference or a journal. Papers authored or 
co-authored by members of the PC are not allowed.

In addition, there will be an opportunity for short oral presentations 
at the conference. Abstracts for such oral presentations must be 
submitted through the Easychair submission webpage, under the category 
``short presentations'', by June 4, 2017. They will not be included in 
the proceedings.
