=== Final Call for Contributions === 13th International Workshop on Fixed Points in Computer Science 23 & 24 February 2026, Paris, France (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fics2026.github.io/__;!!IBzWLUs!XW2aOWbu... ) The 2026 edition of the FICS workshop series (Workshop on Fixed Points in Computer Science) will take place in Paris on February 23rd-24th, as a satellite workshop of CSL 2026 (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://csl2026.github.io__;!!IBzWLUs!XW2aOWbuyD... ). == Important dates and practical details== - Paper registration deadline (title and abstract): Friday, January 9th, AoE - Submission deadline for short and extended abstracts: Sunday, January 11th, AoE - Notification: January 27th - Workshop: Monday February 23rd and Tuesday 24th, 2026 Submissions will be handled via Easychair. Please visit https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=fics2026_... to submit your contribution. At least an author of each submission will be expected to present the contribution in person at FICS 2026. == About the FICS workshop series == The goal of the workshop is to bring together people from different subfields such as algebra/coalgebra, verification, logic, around the thematic of fixed points. Fixed points play a fundamental role in several areas of computer science. They are used to justify (co)recursive definitions and associated reasoning techniques. The construction and properties of fixed points have been investigated in many different settings such as: design and implementation of programming languages, logics, verification, databases. Topics include, but are not restricted to: -fixed points in algebra and coalgebra -fixed points in formal languages and automata -fixed points in game theory -fixed points in programming language semantics -fixed points in proofs -fixed points in the mu-calculus and modal logics -fixed points in process algebras and process calculi -fixed points in functional programming and type theory -fixed points in relation to dataflow and circuits -fixed points in automated theorem proving, interactive theorem proving and logic programming -fixed points in finite model theory, descriptive complexity theory, and databases -fixed points in category theory for logic in computer science == Types of submissions == This year, we welcome two categories of submissions, short abstracts as well as extended abstracts: * Short abstracts are abstracts of 3 to 5 pages, references included, describing the topic of the proposed contributed talk. They may contain (i) newly completed results, (ii) work in progress or (iii) already (recently) published or submitted works. The submission can refer to a published paper or a preprint but the description given in the short abstract should be sufficiently detailed for the program committee to judge the relevance of the proposed talk to the workshop program. * Extended abstracts are papers of 6 to 10 pages, references excluded, describing original results which have not been published nor are currently submitted elsewhere. The results must be presented in sufficient details to constitute a scientific publication. An appendix can provide additional details for the reviewers but will be read at their discretion. Papers should be submitted in EPTCS format (see https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.eptcs.org/__;!!IBzWLUs!XW2aOWbuyDlKP... ). Papers diverging substantially from this standard my be rejected. Submissions from the program committee are permitted and encouraged (excluding the chairs). All submissions will be reviewed by members of the FICS 2026 program committee. == Program Committee == - Henning Basold (Leiden University) - Bartosz Bednarczyk (TU Wien & University of Wrocław) - Florian Bruse (TU Munich, co-chair) - Michaël Cadilhac (DePaul University) - Gianluca Curzi (University of Gothenburg, co-chair) - Anupam Das (University of Birmingham) - Zeinab Galal (Kyoto University) - Sarah Kleest-Meistner (Hasselt University) - Denis Kuperberg (CNRS & ENS Lyon) - Damian Niwiński (University of Warsaw) - Reuben Rowe (Royal Holloway University of London) - Luigi Santocanale (LIS, Université Aix-Marseille) - Alexis Saurin (IRIF, CNRS & Université Paris Cité & INRIA) - Tarmo Uustalu (Reykjavik University) - Igor Walukiewicz (LaBri, Bordeaux) == Contact == - Florian Bruse, f.bruse@tum.de - Gianluca Curzi, gianluca.curzi@gu.se You're receiving this message because you're a member of the Categories mailing list group from Macquarie University.
