their paper soon:

- Paper registration deadline (title and abstract) : Sunday 3/12 (23:59 
AoE).
- Paper submission deadline : Wednesday 6/12 (23:59 AoE).

fees, but at least an author of each abstract will have to register with 
on-site fees.


== About FICS workshop series ==

The goal is to bring together people from different subfields such as 
algebra/coalgebra, verification, logic, around the thematic of fixed 
points. Fixed points play a fundamental role in several areas of 
computer science. They are used to justify (co)recursive definitions and 
associated reasoning techniques. The construction and properties of 
fixed points have been investigated in many different settings such as: 
design and implementation of programming languages, logics, 
verification, databases.
Topics include, but are not restricted to:
- fixed points in algebra and coalgebra
- fixed points in formal languages and automata
- fixed points in game theory
- fixed points in programming language semantics
- fixed points in proofs
- fixed points in the mu-calculus and modal logics
- fixed points in process algebras and process calculi
- fixed points in functional programming and type theory
- fixed points in relation to dataflow and circuits
- fixed points in automated theorem proving, interactive theorem proving 
and logic programming
- fixed points in finite model theory, descriptive complexity theory, 
and databases
- fixed points in category theory for logic in computer science


== Types of submissions ==

This year, we welcome two categories of submissions, short abstracts as 
well as extended abstracts:

- Both types of submissions will be handled via Easychair and will be 
peer-reviewed by the PC.
- In order to submit a short or extended abstract to FICS, please visit 
the following link:
         https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fics2024__;!!IBzWLUs!QVO7JvokLDvmQFl0fB5FcinRBHbNySL-cJmlDnl7tklB51MejPM7VcxXBaQFt-fdWuxa1UiOTjxX0f7baeAd1Ac_MWWziVEJiK545aU$ 
- A proceedings volume gathering the extended abstracts will be 
published by EPTCS shortly after the workshop (see details below).

Here are details on each type of submission:

- **short abstracts** are abstracts of **3 to 5 pages, references 
included**, describing the topic of the proposed contributed talk. They 
may contain (i) new completed results, (ii) work in progress or (iii) 
already (recently) published or submitted works. The submission can 
refer to a published paper or a preprint but the description given in 
the short abstract should be sufficiently detailed for the PC to judge 
the relevance of the proposed talk to the workshop program.

- **extended abstracts** are papers of **6 to 10 pages, references 
excluded**, describing original results which have not been published 
nor are currently submitted elsewhere. The results must be presented in 
sufficient details to constitute a scientific publication. An appendix 
can provide additional details for the reviewer but will be read at the 
discretion of the reviewers.
A volume of proceedings containing the **extended abstracts** will be 
published soon after the workshop by EPTCS: the authors of extended 
abstracts will be asked to submit a revised version few weeks after the 
event, allowing them to take into account the workshop discussions. 
Details will be released later.
