CALL FOR SHORT PAPERS

LPAR-16
16th International Conference on Logic for
Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning
April 25 - May 1, 2010
Dakar, Senegal
http://www.lpar.net/lpar-16/
The series of International Conferences on Logic
for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and
Reasoning (LPAR) is a forum where, year after
year, some of the most renowned researchers in
the areas of logic, automated reasoning,
computational logic, programming languages and
their applications come to present cutting-edge
results, to discuss advances in these fields, and
to exchange ideas in a scientifically emerging
part of the world. The 16th edition will be held in Dakar, Senegal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In keeping with the tradition of LPAR, researchers and practioners are
encouraged submit short papers reporting on interesting work in progress or
providing system descriptions. They need not be original. Extended versions
of the short papers may be submitted concurrently with or after LPAR-16 to
another conference or a journal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logic is a fundamental organizing principle in
nearly all areas in Computer Science. It runs a
multifaceted gamut from the foundational to the
applied. At one extreme, it underlies
computability and complexity theory and the
formal semantics of programming languages. At the
other, it drives billions of gates every day in
the digital circuits of processors of all kinds.
Logic is in itself a powerful programming
paradigm but it is also the quintessential
specification language for anything ranging from
real-time critical systems to networked
infrastructures. Logical techniques link
implementation and specification through formal
methods such as automated theorem proving and
model checking. Logic is also the stuff of
knowledge representation and artificial
intelligence. Because of its ubiquity, logic has
acquired a central role in Computer Science education.
Topics
------
New results in the fields of computational logic
and applications are welcome. Also welcome are
more exploratory presentations, which may examine
open questions and raise fundamental concerns
about existing theories and practices.

* Automated reasoning
* Verification
* Interactive theorem proving and proof assistants
* Model checking
* Implementations of logic
* Satisfiability modulo theories
* Rewriting and unification

SCOPE
The purpose of the BCTCS is to provide a forum in which researchers in
theoretical computer science can meet, present research findings, and
discuss developments in the field. It also aims to provide an
environment in which PhD students can gain experience in presenting
their work, and benefit from contact with established researchers. The
conference will consist of invited keynote presentations by
distinguished researchers and a number of contributed talks.
LOCATION AND SCHEDULE
BCTCS 2010 will be held at the University of Edinburgh, in the centre
of Edinburgh. Talks will be at the Informatics Forum, and
accommodation will be in the Pollock Halls of Residence nearby.
Edinburgh is easily accessible by train from most of the U.K., and has
air connections to most UK and many European airports.
The event will start on Tuesday afternoon and will end with a lunch on
Friday.

http://icalp10.inria.fr/
The 37th International Colloquium on Automata,
Languages and Programming, the main conference
and annual meeting of the European Association
for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS), will
take place from 5-11 July 2010 in Bordeaux,
France. The main conference will be preceded and
followed by a series of Workshops. The workshops
will take place on Monday 5 July 2010, and on
Sunday 11 July 2010 (i.e., one day before and one day after ICALP).
Workshop proposals are invited for workshops
***** !!! TO BE HELD ON SUNDAY 11 JULY 2010 ONLY !!! ******
on topics related to all aspects of theoretical
computer science. (A workshop may relate to any
of the three tracks of ICALP, but also workshop
proposals related to other aspects of theoretical
computer science will be considered.) Typically,
ICALP workshops feature a number of invited
speakers and a number of contributed
presentations. ICALP workshops do not necessarily
produce formal proceedings. However, in the past
there have been e.g. LNCS proceedings or special
issues of journals based in part on some ICALP
workshops. Workshop proposals should include:
* Title of the workshop
* Person responsible for the workshop (name + email address)
* A short scientific summary and
justification of the proposed topic. This should
include a discussion of the particular
benefits of the topic to the ICALP community.
* A discussion of the proposed format and agenda.
* The proposed duration (e.g. half a day or one day). This is important!
(Please, note again that this 2nd call for
workshops only concerns workshops to be
held on Sunday 11 July 2010.)
* Procedures for selecting participants and papers.
* Expected number of participants. This is important!
* If the workshop has taken place before,
please provide the following information:
- How often has the workshop taken place so far?
- Which conference(s) has the workshop been collocated with so far?
- Please provide the web address of the last workshop, if available.
- How many participants took part in the last workshop?
* Potential invited speakers.
* Plans for dissemination (for example, special issues of journals).
Proposals are due on 15 March 2010, and should be
submitted electronically to the Workshops Chair:
Ralf Klasing
