Fixed Points in Computer Science FICS'03 A Satellite Workshop to ETAPS'2003 12-13 April, 2003, Warsaw, Poland CALL FOR PAPERS Aim. 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 where held in Brno (1998, MFCS workshop), Paris (2000, LC2000 workshop), Florence (2001, PLI workshop). Copenhagen (2002, LICS workshop). Topics include, but are not restricted to: Construction and reasoning about properties of fixed points, categorical, metric and ordered fixed point models, continuous algebras, relation algebras, regular algebras of finitary and infinitary languages, formal power series, word and tree automata, the mu-calculus and other programming logics, fixed points in process algebras and process calculi, fixed points and the lambda calculus, fixed points in relation to dataflow and circuits, fixed points in logic programming, databases and complexity theory.
