FoSSaCS 2020
23rd International Conference on Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures
FoSSaCS seeks original papers on foundational research with a clear significance for software science. The conference invites submissions on theories and methods to support the analysis, integration, synthesis, transformation, and verification of programs and software systems. The specific topics covered by the conference include, but are not limited to, the following:
- categorical models and logics;
- language theory, automata, and games;
- modal, spatial, and temporal logics;
- type theory and proof theory;
- concurrency theory and process calculi;
- rewriting theory;
- semantics of programming languages;
- program analysis, correctness, transformation, and verification;
- logics of programming;
- software specification and refinement;
- models of concurrent, reactive, stochastic, distributed, hybrid, and mobile systems;
- emerging models of computation;
- logical aspects of computational complexity;
- models of software security;
- logical foundations of data bases
Important dates and submission
See the ETAPS 2020 joint call for papers. Submit your paper via the FoSSaCS 2020 author interface of EasyChair .
The review process of FoSSaCS 2020 is single-blind, with a rebuttal phase.
FoSSaCS 2020 has just one paper category: regular research papers of max 18 pp llncs.cls (excluding bibliography).
Additional material intended for reviewers but not for publication in the final version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit. Reviewers are at liberty to ignore appendices and papers must be understandable without them.
Special issue
A selection of the best papers at FoSSaCS 2020 will be considered for submission to a special issue of Logical Methods in Computer Science (LMCS).
