[TYPES/announce] LSFA 2020 Call for Papers

[Giselle Reis]

LSFA 2020
15th Workshop on Logical and Semantic Frameworks, with Applications
26-28 August 2020, Salvador, Brazil
http://lsfa2020.ufba.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.

Previous editions of LSFA took place in Natal (2019), Fortaleza (2018),
Brasília (2017), Porto (2016), Natal (2015), Brasília (2014), São Paulo
(2013), Rio de Janeiro (2012), Belo Horizonte (2011), Natal (2010),
Brasília (2009), Salvador (2008), Ouro Preto (2007), and Natal
(2006). See http://lsfa.cic.unb.br for more information. Previous
proceedings were published by EPTCS and ENTCS. Previous LSFA special
issues have been published in journals such as Journal of Algorithms,
The Logic Journal of the IGPL and Theoretical Computer Science (see
http://lsfa.cic.unb.br).


TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Specification languages and meta-languages
* Formal semantics of languages and logical systems
* Logical frameworks
* Semantic frameworks
* Type theory
* Proof theory
* Automated deduction
* Implementation of logical or semantic frameworks
* Applications of logical or semantic frameworks
* Computational and logical properties of semantic frameworks
* Logical aspects of computational complexity
* Lambda and combinatory calculi
* Process calculi


SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

Contributions should be written in English and submitted in the form of
full papers with a maximum of 13 pages excluding references. Beyond full
regular papers, we encourage submissions such as system descriptions,
proof pearls, rough diamonds (preliminary results and work in progress),
original surveys, or overviews of research projects, where the focus is
more on elegance and dissemination than on novelty. Papers belonging to
this second category are expected to be short, that is, of a maximum of
6 pages excluding references. For both paper categories, additional
technical material can be provided in a clearly marked appendix which
will be read by reviewers at their discretion. Contributions must also
be unpublished and not submitted simultaneously for publication
elsewhere.

The papers should be prepared in LaTeX using the generic ENTCS package
(http://www.entcs.org/prelim.html). The submission should be in the form
of a PDF file uploaded to Easychair:

         https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lsfa2020

At least one of the authors should register for the workshop. All
accepted papers will be available online during the workshop; full
papers will be published at ENTCS, and short papers will be collected in
an informal volume. For the publication of the proceedings there will be
a cost to authors of USD 50 at registration time.
