/* Apologies for multiple posting */ Call for Papers (Extended Abstracts) 7th Workshop on Fixed Points in Computer Science, FICS 2010 Brno, Czech Republic, August 21-22 2010 a satellite workshop to MFCS & CSL 2010 http://www.lif.univ-mrs.fr/fics2010/ Background Fixed points play a fundamental role in several areas of computer science and logic by justifying induction and recursive definitions. The construction and properties of fixed points have been investigated in many different frameworks such as: design and implementation of programming languages, program logics, databases. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to present their results to those members of the computer science and logic communities who study or apply the theory of fixed points. Previous workshops were held in Brno (1998, MFCS/CSL workshop), Paris (2000, LC workshop), Florence (2001, PLI workshop), Copenhagen (2002, LICS (FLoC) workshop), Warsaw (2003, ETAPS workshop), Coimbra (2009, CSL workshop). Topics include, but are not restricted to: * categorical, metric and ordered fixed point models * fixed points in algebra and coalgebra * fixed points in languages and automata * fixed points in programming language semantics * the mu-calculus and fixed points in modal logic * fixed points in process algebras and process calculi * fixed points in the lambda-calculus, functional programming and type theory * fixed points in relation to dataflow and circuits * fixed points in logic programming and theorem proving * finite model theory, descriptive complexity theory, fixed points in databases Invited speakers * Arnaud Carayol, Laboratoire d'informatique Gaspard-Monge. * tba * tba Contributed talks Selection of contributed talks is based on extended abstracts/short papers of 3...6 pp formatted with easychair.cls. Submission is via EasyChair, by June 13 2010. The authors will be notified of acceptance/rejection by July 10 2010. Camera-ready versions of the accepted contributions will be published for distribution at the workshop as a technical report. Journal publication If the number and quality of submissions and accepted talks warrant this, EDP Sciences will publish a special issue of Theoretical Informatics and Applications. With one exception, the special issues of the previous FICS editions appeared in this journal. The special issue of FICS 2009 will also appear there.
