========================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS: MFPS XXXVIII (MFPS 2022) 38th Conference on Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics July 11-13, 2022 Hybrid, from Ithaca, NY, USA https://www.cs.cornell.edu/mfps-2022/ ========================================================== IMPORTANT DATES (anywhere on earth): Abstract submission: May 3, 2022 Paper submission (EXTENDED): May 6, 2022 Author notification: June 10, 2022 Final version due: June 24, 2022 ========================================================== We are delighted to announce the 38th Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics (MFPS 2022). While the pandemic situation is uncertain, we plan to hold a hybrid conference with the in-person event at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. 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. 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: Barbara König, University of Duisburg--Essen Anca Muscholl, Université Bordeaux Daniela Petrisan, Université Paris Cité Frank Pfenning, Carnegie Mellon University ------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL SESSIONS: 1.
