======================================================================= SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS: MFPS XLI (MFPS 2025) 41st Conference on Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics June 18-20, 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland Joint with CALCO https://coalg.org/calco-mfps-2025/mfps/ ** Updated: invited speakers ** ======================================================================= IMPORTANT DATES (anywhere on earth): Abstract Submission: March 27, 2025 Paper Submission: April 3, 2025 Notification: May 12, 2023 Pre-proceedings: May 24, 2023 Final (post-proceeding) versions: Autumn 2025 ========================================================================= We are delighted to announce the 41st Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics (MFPS 2025). It will take place at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. 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; denotational and operational semantics; rewrite theory; proof theory. We also welcome contributions that address applications of semantics to novel areas. Participation in the meeting is expected to be in person; one author of every accepted paper has to attend the meeting and give the presentation. Exceptions might be in case there are unexpected problems with travel/visa. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- INVITED SPEAKERS: * Gordon Plotkin (keynote; joint with CALCO) * Chris Heunen * Delia Kesner * Jurriaan Rot ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL SESSIONS: * Quantitative Semantics, organized by Ugo Dal Lago (joint session with CALCO) * Mathematics of Natural Language, organized by Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh * Types and the Extraction of Correct Programs, organized by Ulrich Berger ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Sandra Alves, University of Porto, Portugal Giorgio Bacci, Aalborg University, Denmark Lars Birkedal, University of Arhus, Denmark Florence Clerc, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland Robin Cockett, University of Calgary, Canada Claudia Faggian, IRIF Paris, France Giulio Guerrieri, University of Sussex, UK Shin-ya Katsumata, NII, Tokyo, Japan S.
