FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

Fourth Annual International Conference on
Applied Category Theory (ACT 2021)

12 - 16 July, 2021, Cambridge, United Kingdom (and online)

https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/events/act2021

             * * *
<<< DEADLINE EXTENSION: Due to popular demand, the submission deadline
has been extended to Wednesday 12 May. >>>

<<< UPDATE: Our plans to run ACT 2021 as one of the first physical
conferences post-lockdown are progressing well. Consider joining us in
person in Cambridge! We also have financial support available for
students and junior researchers. >>>

The Fourth International Conference on Applied Category Theory will
take place at the Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge
on 12-16 July, 2021, preceded by the Adjoint School 2021 on 5-9 July.
This conference follows previous events at MIT, Oxford and Leiden.

Applied category theory is a topic of interest for a growing community
of researchers, interested in studying many different kinds of systems
using category-theoretic tools. These systems are found across computer
science, mathematics, and physics, as well as in social science,
linguistics, cognition, and neuroscience. The background and experience
of our members is as varied as the systems being studied. The goal of
the Applied Category Theory conference series is to bring researchers
together, disseminate the latest results, and facilitate further
development of the field.

We accept submissions of both original research papers, and work
accepted/submitted/ published elsewhere. Accepted original research
papers will be invited for publication in a proceedings volume. The
keynote addresses will be drawn from the best accepted papers. The
conference will include an industry showcase event.

We hope to run the conference as a hybrid event, with physical
attendees present in Cambridge, and other participants taking part
online. However, due to the state of the pandemic, the possibility of
in-person attendance is not yet confirmed. Please do not book your
travel or hotel accommodation yet.


** FINANCIAL SUPPORT **

We are able to offer financial support to PhD students and junior
researchers. Full guidance is on the webpage.


** IMPORTANT DATES (all in 2021) **

  - Submission Deadline: Wednesday 12 May (previously Monday 10 May)
  - Author Notification: Monday 7 June
  - Financial Support Application Deadline: Monday 7 June
  - Financial Support Notification: Tuesday 8 June
  - Priority Physical Registration Opens: Wednesday 9 June
  - Ordinary Physical Registration Opens: Monday 13 June
  - Reserved Accommodation Booking Deadline: Monday 13 June
  - Adjoint School: Monday 5 to Friday 9 July
  - Main Conference: Monday 12 to Friday 16 July


** SUBMISSIONS **

The following two types of submissions are accepted:

    - Proceedings Track. Original contributions of high-quality work
consisting of an extended summary, up to 12 pages excluding
bibliography, that provides evidence of results of genuine interest,
and with enough detail to allow the program committee to assess the
merits of the work. Full proofs of mathematical statements are not
necessarily required. Accepted submissions in this track will be
invited for publication in a proceedings volume. Additional appendices
beyond the page limit are permitted but may not be read by reviewers,
and will not be included in the proceedings.

    - Non-Proceedings Track. Submissions presenting high-quality work
submitted or published elsewhere, or for which publication in the
proceedings is not desired by the authors, may be submitted to this
track, provided the work is recent and relevant to the conference. The
work may be of any length, but the program committee members may only
look at the first 3 pages of the submission, so you should ensure that
these pages contain sufficient evidence of the quality and rigour of
your work.

Papers in the two tracks will be reviewed against the same standards
of quality. Since ACT is an interdisciplinary conference, we use two
tracks to accommodate the publishing conventions of different
disciplines. For example, those from a Computer Science background may
prefer the Proceedings Track, while those from a Mathematics, Physics
or other background may prefer the Non-Proceedings Track. However,
authors from any background are free to choose the track that they
prefer, and submissions may be moved from the Proceedings Track to the
Non-Proceedings Track at any time at the request of the authors.

Contributions must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions to the
Proceedings Track must be prepared with LaTeX, using the EPTCS style
files available at <http://style.eptcs.org>.

The submission link will soon be available on the ACT2021 web page:
