Thu May 18 11:52:46 EDT 2017

=================================================================
CALL FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS
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.

The paper submissions deadline has already passed. We hereafter invite
submissions of abstracts for short oral presentations only.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
Authors are invited to submit short abstracts in English, up to 4 pages
(including references) in LIPIcs style, describing work fitting the 
scope of the conference.
The LIPIcs style files and instructions for authors can be found here:
