About CALCO and MFPS ------------------------ CALCO aims to bring together researchers and practitioners with interests in foundational aspects, and both traditional and emerging uses of algebra and coalgebra in computer science. 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. INVITED SPEAKERS -- SPECIAL SESSIONS ---------------------------------------- We are pleased to announce the following invited speakers: * Amal Ahmed, Northeastern University, Boston, US (MFPS) * Sarah Meiklejohn, University College London, UK (MFPS) * Stefan Milius, University of Erlangen-N??rnberg, Germany (CALCO) * Grigore Ro??u, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US (CALCO) * Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh, Queen Mary University of London, UK (CALCO/MFPS) Joint special session on Coinduction for Verification and Certification organised by Damien Pous.

Speakers: * Matteo Mio, CNRS, ENS Lyon, France * Catuscia Palamidessi, INRIA Saclay and LIX, France * Henning Basold, CNRS, ENS Lyon, France MFPS special session on the Verification of Distributed Systems organised by Vincent Rahli. Speakers: * Vincent Rahli, Universit?? du Luxembourg, Luxembourg * Josef Widder, TU Wien, Austria * Giuliano Losa, Galois, Porland, Oregon, US CALCO EARLY IDEAS --------------------- Until 17 May it is still possible to submit abstracts to the early ideas track of CALCO on EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=calco19 Early ideas are abstracts that lead to presentation of work in progress and original research proposals. PhD students and young researchers are particularly encouraged to contribute. Submissions should not exceed 2 pages in the format specified by LIPIcs http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/ (Note that there is a new version of the style: lipics-v2019). The volume of selected abstracts will be made available on arXiv and on the CALCO pages. Authors will retain copyright, and are also encouraged to disseminate the results by subsequent publication elsewhere. At least one of the authors must attend the conference to present the work. REGISTRATION ---------------- The deadline for online registration is Thursday, 30 May 2019. Note that it will be possible to register on site, but payment is then only possible in cash. Further information and the registration website can be found here: https://www.coalg.org/calco-mfps-2019/home/registration/ SCHOLARSHIPS ---------------- Student scholarships will be available: please contact Alexandra Silva and Fabio Zanasi by 25 May with a motivational paragraph for attending the conference and why you need the funding.
