ABOUT FLOC

During the past forty years there has been extensive, continuous, and
growing interaction between logic and computer science. In many
respects, logic provides computer science with both a unifying
foundational framework and a tool for modeling. In fact, logic has
been called "the calculus of computer science", playing a crucial role
in diverse areas such as artificial intelligence, computational
complexity, distributed computing, database systems, hardware design,
programming languages, and software engineering.

The Federated Logic Conference brings together several international
conferences related to mathematical logic and computer science, and
was first organised in 1996, as part of the DIMACS Special Year on
Logic and Algorithms. Since then FLoC was held in Trento in 1999,
Copenhagen in 2002, Seattle in 2006, Edinburgh in 2010 and Vienna in
2014.

The seventh Federated Logic Conference (FLoC'18) will be held in
Oxford, UK, in July 2018, at the Mathematical Institute and the
Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford.

### Keynote Speakers

* Adam Chlipala, Massachusetts Institute of Technology CSAIL
* Arjun Guha, University of Massachusetts Amherst


### Submissions and peer-review

Differently from previous editions of IFL, IFL 2018 solicits two kinds of
submissions:

* Regular papers (12 pages including references)
* Draft papers for presentations ('weak' limit between 8 and 15 pages)

Regular papers will undergo a rigorous review by the program committee, and will
be evaluated according to their correctness, novelty, originality, relevance,
significance, and clarity. A set of regular papers will be conditionally
accepted for publication. Authors of conditionally accepted papers will be
provided with committee reviews along with a set of mandatory revisions.
Regular papers not accepted for publication will be considered as draft papers,
at the request of the author.

Draft papers will be screened to make sure that they are within the scope of
IFL, and will be accepted for presentation or rejected accordingly.

Prior to the symposium:
  Authors of conditionally accepted papers and accepted presentations will
  submit a pre-proceedings version of their work that will appear in the draft
  proceedings distributed at the symposium. The draft proceedings does not
  constitute a formal publication.
 
  We require that at least one of the authors present the work at IFL 2018.

After the symposium:

  Authors of conditionally accepted papers will submit a revised versions of
  their paper for the formal post-proceedings.
  The program committee will assess whether the mandatory revisions have been
  adequately addressed by the authors and thereby determines the final
  accept/reject status of the paper.
  Our interest is to ultimately accept all conditionally accepted papers. If you
  are an author of a conditionally accepted paper, please make sure that you
  address all the concerns of the reviewers.
 

  Authors of accepted presentations will be given the opportunity to incorporate
  the feedback from discussions at the symposium and will be invited to submit a
  revised full article for the formal post-proceedings.
  The program committee will evaluate these submissions according to their
  correctness, novelty, originality, relevance, significance, and clarity, and
  will thereby determine whether the paper is accepted or rejected.
 

### Publication

The formal proceedings will appear in the International Conference Proceedings
Series of the ACM Digital Library.

At no time may work submitted to IFL be simultaneously submitted to other
venues; submissions must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy:

We have seen a rapid rising emphasis on design, implement and manage complex
computer systems which are present in every aspect of human activities, such as
manufacturing, communications, defense, transportation, aerospace, hazardous
environments, energy, and health care. The complex computer systems are
frequently distributed over heterogeneous networks and processing large amount
data. Complexity arises from many factors, including the dynamic environments
and scenarios these systems operate in; demanding and sometimes conflicting
requirements in functionality, efficiency, scalability, security,
dependability, inoperability and adaptability; as well as the large variation
in development methodology, programming languages and implementation details.
The key issues in these systems include performance, real-time behavior, fault
tolerance, security, adaptability, development time and cost, and long life
concerns.

The goal of this conference is to bring together industrial, academic, and
government experts, from a variety of application domains and software
disciplines, to discuss how the disciplines' problems and solution techniques
interact within the whole system. Researchers, practitioners, tool developers
and users, and technology transfer experts are all welcome. The scope of
interest includes long-term research issues; near-term requirements and
challenges; established complex systems; emerging promising tools; and
retrospective and prospective reflections of research and development into
complex systems.

Scope and Topics

Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, unpublished research
results, case studies and tools. Papers are solicited in all areas related to
complex computer-based systems, including the causes of complexity and means of
avoiding, controlling, or coping with complexity. Topic areas include, but are
not limited to:

Requirement specification and analysis
Verification and validation
Security and privacy of complex systems
Model-driven development
Reverse engineering and refactoring
Software architecture
Big Data Management
Ambient intelligence, pervasive computing
Ubiquitous computing, context awareness, sensor networks
Design by contract
Agile methods
Safety-critical & fault-tolerant architectures
Adaptive, self-managing and multi-agent systems
Real-time, hybrid and embedded systems
Systems of systems
Cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things (IoT)
Tools and tool integration
Industrial case studies
Applications to SAT/SMT techniques to analysis of complex systems

Different kinds of contributions are sought, including novel research, lessons
learned, experience reports, and discussions of practical problems faced by
industry and user domains. The ultimate goal is to build a rich and
comprehensive conference program that can fit the interests and needs of
different classes of attendees: professionals, researchers, managers, and
students. A program goal is to organize several sessions that include both
academic and industrial papers on a given topic and culminate panels to discuss
relationships between industrial and academic research.

Full Papers

Full papers are divided into two categories: Technical Papers and Experience
Reports. The papers submitted to both categories will be reviewed by program
committee members, and papers accepted in either category will be published in
the conference proceedings. Technical papers should describe original research,
and experience reports should present practical projects carried out in
industry, and reflect on the lessons learnt from them.

Short Papers

Short paper submissions describe early-stage, ongoing or PhD research. All
short papers will be reviewed by program committee members, and accepted short
papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

Paper Submissions

Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of the
double-column CPS format. Full papers should not exceed 10 pages, and short
papers should not exceed 4 pages, including figures, references, and
appendices. All submissions should be in PDF format. Submissions not adhering
to the specified format and length may be rejected immediately, without review.

Please prepare your manuscripts in accordance to the CPS guidelines:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

We invite all prospective authors to submit their manuscripts via the
ICECCS'18 portal, hosted on EasyChair
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iceccs2018

Conference Proceedings

The conference proceedings will be published by Conference Publishing Services
(CPS) and submitted for EI indexing.

[Caml-list] Mathematically Structured Functional Programming 2018: Call for Participation

Seventh Workshop on
MATHEMATICALLY STRUCTURED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
Sunday 8th July 2018, Oxford, UK
A satellite workshop of FSCD 2018

http://msfp2018.bentnib.org/

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Registration:
============

Register here: http://www.floc2018.org/register/
Early registration deadline: Wednesday 6th June


Invited Speakers:
=================

- Tamara von Glehn, University of Cambridge, UK
- Didier Remy, INRIA, France



The seventh workshop on Mathematically Structured Functional
Programming is devoted to the derivation of functionality from
structure. It is a celebration of the direct impact of Theoretical
Computer Science on programs as we write them today. Modern
programming languages, and in particular functional languages, support
the direct expression of mathematical structures, equipping
programmers with tools of remarkable power and abstraction. Where
would Haskell be without monads? Functional reactive programming
without temporal logic? Call-by-push-value without adjunctions? The
list goes on. This workshop is a forum for researchers who seek to
reflect mathematical phenomena in data and control.

The first MSFP workshop was held in Kuressaare, Estonia, in July 2006,
affiliated with MPC 2006 and AMAST 2006. The second MSFP workshop was
held in Reykjavik, Iceland as part of ICALP 2008. The third MSFP
workshop was held in Baltimore, USA, as part of ICFP 2010. The fourth
workshop was held in Tallinn, Estonia, as part of ETAPS 2012. The
fifth workshop was held in Grenoble, France, as part of ETAPS
2014. The sixth MSFP Workshop was held in April 2016, in Eindhoven,
Netherlands, just after ETAPS 2016.
