# CALL FOR PAPERS : MFPS XXXI ## Thirty-first Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics ## 22-25 June 2015, Nijmegen, Netherlands ## [Web page](http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/mfps31/) ## Co-located with the 6th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO) The 31st MFPS will take place on the campus of the Radboud University, Nijmegen, between 22 and 25 June 2015. 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. MFPS is organised in cooperation with ACM SIGLOG and observes its anti-harassment [policy](http://www.acm.org/sigs/volunteer_resources/officers_manual/anti-harassment-...). 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. We also welcome contributions that address applications of semantics to novel areas such as complex systems, markets, and networks, for example. ## INVITED SPEAKERS * Andy Pitts (Cambridge), joint speaker for MFPS-CALCO * Thierry Coquand (Chalmers) * Guy McCusker (Bath) * Sam Staton (Radboud) * Paul B.
