Paris, France
Main Conference: 30 June - 3 July 2020
Workshops: 29 June, 4-5 July 2020
--------------------------------------------------------------------

FSCD 2020 will be the fifth edition of the International Conference on
Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction.  IJCAR 2020 will be
the tenth International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning.

We invite proposals for workshops, tutorials or other satellite
events, on any topic to related formal structures in computation,
deduction and automated reasoning, from theoretical foundations to
tools and applications.

Satellite events will take place on the 29 June and 4-5 July, before
and after the main conference (30 June - 5 July). It is expected that
satellite events would run for 1 or 2 days, and be open to
participants of parallel events.

PROPOSALS
--------------------
Proposals must be limited to three pages and should be submitted by
email to ws.org at fscd2020.org. Each proposal should consist of the
following two parts.

1) A description part including:
  - a short scientific justification of the proposed topic, its
significance, and the particular benefits of the workshop to the
community, as well as a list of previous or related workshops (if
relevant);
  - a brief description (up to 120 words) of the event for the website
and publicity material.
2) An organisational part including:
  - contact information for the workshop organizers;
  - proposed affiliated conference;
  - estimate of the number of workshop participants;
  - proposed format and agenda (e.g. paper presentations, tutorials,
demo sessions, etc.)
  - potential invited speakers;
  - procedures for selecting papers and participants;
  - tentative schedule for paper submission and notification of acceptance;
  - plans for dissemination, if any (e.g. a journal special issue);
  - duration (which may vary from one day to two days);
  - preferred period (pre, or post main conferences);
  - any other special requirements.

The Organizing Committee of FSCD-IJCAR will determine the final list
of accepted workshops based on the recommendations from the Workshop
Chairs of the hosting conferences and availability of space and
facilities.

The organizers of satellite events are expected to create and maintain
a website for the event; handle paper selection, reviewing and
acceptance; draw up a tentative programme of talks; advertise their
event though specialist mailing lists; prepare the informal
pre-proceedings (if applicable) in a timely fashion; and arrange any
post-proceedings. Some amount of financial support may be offered to
workshops, depending on the number of participants.

The FSCD-IJCAR organizing committee will handle promotion of the event
on the main conference website; integration of the event's programme
into the overall timetable; registration of participants; arrangement
of an appropriate meeting room; and provision of lunch and coffee
breaks for participants.
