This is the Last Call for Papers for MFPS XXX. Details of the meeting are given below. MFPS XXX http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Conferences/MFPS30/ Thirtieth Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics Cornell University Ithaca, NY USA 12 - 15 June 2014 The Thirtieth Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics will take place on the campus of the Cornell University, Ithaca, NY USA from June 12 through June 15, 2014. MFPS conferences are devoted to those areas of mathematics, logic, and computer science that are related to models of computation, in general, and to the semantics of programming languages, in particular. The series has particularly stressed providing a forum where researchers in mathematics and computer science can meet and exchange ideas about problems of common interest. As the series also strives to maintain breadth in its scope, the conference strongly encourages participation by researchers in neighboring areas. TOPICS include, but are not limited to, the following: biocomputation; 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: Nick Benton, Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK Andy Gordon, Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK Elham Kashefi, University of Edinburgh, UK Prakash Panangaden, McGill University, Canada Alexandra Silva, Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands SPECIAL SESSIONS: There will be two special sessions at the meeting, each associated with one of the plenary talks: * Probabilistic computing, organized by Andy Gordon * Quantum Computing, organized by Elham Kashefi Additional special sessions also may be organized. There also will be a series of TUTORIAL LECTURES during the meeting - the topic and list of speakers are still being arranged.
