CAUTION: The Sender of this email is not from within Dalhousie. 36th International Conference on Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics ??? MFPS 2020 June 2 ??? 6, 2020 To be jointly held with QPL'20. https://www.monoidal.net/paris2020/mfps/ # About 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: 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. # Online Event MFPS 2020 will be held online, jointly with the 17th International Conference on Quantum and Physics Logic (QPL) 2020. We will hold a live meeting using video and online discussion platforms. Registration is free but mandatory. Please follow this link: https://forms.gle/Bozgh92BoLUQxVaD7 to register. # Invited Speakers and Organizers of Special Sessions As in previous years, MFPS will have several invited speakers and special session highlighting areas within programming languages semantics.
