************************************************************** First Call for Submissions INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HOMOTOPY TYPE THEORY 12-17 August 2019 Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh USA https://hott.github.io/HoTT-2019 ************************************************************** Submissions of talks are now open for the International Homotopy Type Theory conference (HoTT 2019), to be held from August 12th to 17th, 2019, at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA. Contributions are welcome in all areas related to homotopy type theory, including but not limited to: * Homotopical and higher-categorical semantics of type theory * Synthetic homotopy theory * Applications of univalence and higher inductive types * Cubical type theories and cubical models * Formalization of mathematics and computer science in homotopy type theory / univalent foundations Please submit 1-paragraph abstracts through the EasyChair conference system here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hott2019 The submission deadline is 1 APRIL 2019; we expect to notify accepted submissions by 1 May. If you need an earlier decision for some reason (e.g. to apply for funding), please submit your abstract by 15 MARCH and send an email to hott2019conference@gmail.com notifying us that you need an early decision. This conference is run on the "mathematics model" rather than the "computer science model": full papers will not be submitted, submissions will not be refereed, and submission is not a publication (although a proceedings volume might be organized afterwards). More information, including registration, accomodation options, and travel, will be available as the conference approaches at the web site https://hott.github.io/HoTT-2019/ . Please email hott2019conference@gmail.com with any questions.
