OVERVIEW
--------
FSCD (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fscd-conference.org/__;!!IBzWLUs!WIRUXchlLFjWIPRvrQgmkFVp7UIPHQRqQZOE1j-vj_vq7gEmt4unz9JCbRi6tdIftDVaGNz5FGRNl16xf-qHaGfRuvNe3aY$ ) covers all aspects of formal
structures for computation and deduction, from theoretical foundations
to applications. Building on two communities, RTA (Rewriting Techniques
and Applications) and TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications), FSCD
embraces their core topics and broadens their scope to closely related
areas in logic, models of computation, semantics and verification in new
challenging areas.
The suggested, but not exclusive, list of topics for submission is:
1. Calculi:
- Rewriting systems (string, term, higher-order, nominal, graph,
conditional, modulo, infinitary, etc.);
- Lambda calculus;
- Logics (first-order, higher-order, equational, modal, linear,
classical, constructive, etc.);
- Proof theory (natural deduction, sequent calculus, proof nets, etc.);
- Type theory and logical frameworks;
- Homotopy type theory;
- Process algebras (synchronous, asynchronous, static and dynamic
semantics with and without time, etc.)
- Quantum calculi.
2. Methods in Computation and Deduction:
- Type systems (polymorphism, dependent, recursive, intersection,
session, etc.);
- Induction, coinduction;
- Matching, unification, completion, orderings;
- Strategies (normalisation, completeness, etc.);
- Tree automata;
- Model building and model checking;
- Proof search and theorem proving;
- Constraint solving and decision procedures.
3. Semantics:
- Operational semantics and abstract machines;
- Game Semantics and applications;
- Domain theory and categorical models;
- Quantitative models (timing, probabilities, etc.);
- Quantum computation and emerging models of computation.
4. Algorithmic Analysis and Transformations of Formal Systems:
- Type inference and type checking;
- Abstract Interpretation;
- Complexity analysis and implicit computational complexity;
- Checking termination, confluence, derivational complexity and
related properties;
- Symbolic computation.
5. Tools and Applications:
- Programming and proof environments;
- Verification tools;
- Proof assistants and interactive theorem provers;
- Applications in industry;
- Applications of formal systems in other sciences;
- Applications of formal systems in education.
6. Formal Systems for Modelling and Verification in new challenging areas:
- Certification;
- Security;
- Blockchain;
- Databases;
- Deep learning and machine learning algorithms;
- Planning.
PUBLICATION
-----------
The proceedings will be published as an electronic volume in the Leibniz
International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) of Schloss Dagstuhl.
All LIPIcs proceedings are open access.
SPECIAL ISSUE
-------------
There will be a special issue of Logical Methods in Computer Science of
selected papers. More details will be provided later.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
---------------------
The submission site is:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fscd2025__;!!IBzWLUs!WIRUXchlLFjWIPRvrQgmkFVp7UIPHQRqQZOE1j-vj_vq7gEmt4unz9JCbRi6tdIftDVaGNz5FGRNl16xf-qHaGfRLYk20y0$
Submissions must be formatted using the LIPIcs style files
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://submission.dagstuhl.de/series/details/5*author__;Iw!!IBzWLUs!WIRUXchlLFjWIPRvrQgmkFVp7UIPHQRqQZOE1j-vj_vq7gEmt4unz9JCbRi6tdIftDVaGNz5FGRNl16xf-qHaGfR8vyOvYE$ ) and submitted
via EasyChair.
Submissions can be made in two categories: regular research papers and
system descriptions. Please indicate in the submission page in Easychair
and in the first page of the paper in which category you are submitting.
Regular research papers are limited to 15 pages, excluding references
and appendices. They must present original research which is unpublished
and not submitted elsewhere.
System descriptions are limited to 15 pages, excluding references.
Shorter papers are welcome and will be given equal consideration. A
system description must present new software tools, or significantly new
versions of such tools, in which FSCD topics play an important role. An
archive of the code with instructions on how to install and run the tool
must be submitted. In addition, a webpage where the system can be
experimented with should be provided.
One author of each accepted paper is expected to register and present
the work in person at the conference. In case that this is not possible
for some unforeseen reason, online presentation will be arranged, but in
person registration will still be required.
BEST PAPER AWARD BY JUNIOR RESEARCHERS
--------------------------------------
The programme committee will select a paper in which at least one author
is a junior researcher, i.e. either a student or whose PhD award date is
less than three years from the first day of the meeting. When submitting
the paper, other authors should declare to the PC Chair that at least
50% of contribution is made by the junior researcher(s).
