MFPS conferences are dedicated to the areas of mathematics, logic, and computer science that are related to models of computation in general, and to semantics of programming languages in particular. This is a forum where researchers in mathematics and computer science can meet and exchange ideas. The participation of researchers in neighbouring areas is strongly encouraged. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: bio-computation; concurrent qualitative and quantitative distributed systems; process calculi; probabilistic systems; constructive mathematics; domain theory and categorical models; formal languages; formal methods; game semantics; lambda calculus; programming-language theory; quantum computation; security; topological models; logic; type systems; type theory. We also welcome contributions that address applications of semantics to novel areas such as complex systems, markets, and networks, for example. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- INVITED SPEAKERS & SPECIAL SESSIONS: As in previous years, MFPS will have several invited speakers and special session highlighting areas within programming languages semantics. We are pleased to announce the following invited speakers and organizers of special sessions: * Amal Ahmed, Northeastern University, USA * Sarah Meiklejohn, University College London, UK * Matteo Mio, ENS Lyon, France * Damien Pous, ENS Lyon, France (joint with CALCO) * Vincent Rahli, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg * Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh, Queen Mary University of London, UK (joint with CALCO) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSIONS: Submissions should be prepared using the ENTCS Macros (available from http://www.entcs.org) and should be up to 12 pages long excluding bibliography and appendices. Submissions will be via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mfps35 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PROCEEDINGS: There will be a preliminary proceedings of the conference papers that will be distributed at the meeting, with a final proceedings published in ENTCS after the meeting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAMME COMMITTEE: Andrej Bauer, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia Adriana Balan, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania Harsh Beohar, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Steve Brookes, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Roberto Bruni, Universita’ di Pisa, Italy Yuxin Deng, East China Normal University, China Ilias Garnier, Nomadic Labs, France Chris Heunen, University of Edinburgh, UK Tom Hirschowitz, Univ.
