[Fredrik Nordvall Forsberg]

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

5th Annual International Conference on Applied Category Theory (ACT2022)
July 18--22, 2022
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://msp.cis.strath.ac.uk/act2022/__;!!IBzWLUs!AxXg9A97Q6jo7dnvHqkJaiGNqqYIwI0YTz3MC7d0u1wJbCTw-1sGFOZ_DQUlmoexvHTZS2zZrTYU3A$ 

The Fifth International Conference on Applied Category Theory will take
place at the University of Strathclyde from 18 to 22 July 2022, preceded
by the Adjoint School 2022 from 11 to 15 July. This conference follows
previous events at Cambridge (UK), Cambridge (MA), Oxford and Leiden.

Applied category theory is important to a growing community of
researchers who study computer science, logic, engineering, physics,
biology, chemistry, social science, linguistics and other subjects using
category-theoretic tools.  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,
strengthen the applied category theory community, disseminate the latest
results, and facilitate further development of the field.

SUBMISSIONS

We accept submissions in English of original research papers, talks
about work accepted/submitted/published elsewhere, and demonstrations of
relevant software. Accepted original research papers will be published
in a proceedings volume. The keynote addresses will be chosen from the
accepted papers. The conference will include an industry showcase event
and community meeting. We particularly encourage people from
underrepresented groups to submit their work and the organisers are
committed to non-discrimination, equity, and inclusion.

Submission formats:

   1. Extended Abstracts should be submitted describing the contribution
   and providing a basis for determining the topics and quality of the
   anticipated presentation (1-2 pages). These submissions will be
   adjudicated for inclusion as a talk at the conference. Such work
   should include references to any longer papers, preprints, or
   manuscripts providing additional details.

   2. Conference Papers should present original, high-quality work in the
   style of a computer science conference paper (up to 14 pages, not
   counting the bibliography; detailed proofs may be included in an
   appendix for the convenience of the reviewers). Such submissions
   should not be an abridged version of an existing journal article (see
   item 1) although pre-submission Arxiv preprints are permitted. These
   submissions will be adjudicated for both a talk and publication in the
   conference proceedings.

   3. Software Demonstrations should be submitted in the format of an
   Extended Abstract (1-2 pages) giving the program committee enough
   information to assess the content of the demonstration. We are
   particularly interested in software that makes category theory
   research easier, or uses category theoretic ideas to improve software
   in other domains.

Extended abstracts and conference papers should be prepared with LaTeX.
