CALL FOR PAPERS
Thirty-Second Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on
LOGIC IN COMPUTER SCIENCE (LICS)
20-23 June 2017, Reykjavik, Iceland
http://lics.rwth-aachen.de/lics17/
SCOPE
The LICS Symposium is an annual international forum on theoretical and
practical topics in computer science that relate to logic, broadly construed.
We invite submissions on topics that fit under that rubric.
Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest include: automata theory,
automated deduction, categorical models and logics, concurrency and distributed
computation, constraint programming, constructive mathematics, database theory,
decision procedures, description logics, domain theory, finite model theory,
formal aspects of program analysis, formal methods, foundations of
computability, games and logic, higher-order logic, lambda and combinatory
calculi, linear logic, logic in artificial intelligence, logic programming,
logical aspects of bioinformatics, logical aspects of computational complexity,
logical aspects of quantum computation, logical frameworks, logics of programs,
modal and temporal logics, model checking, probabilistic systems, process
calculi, programming language semantics, proof theory, real-time systems,
reasoning about security and privacy, rewriting, type systems and type theory,
and verification.
IMPORTANT DATES
Authors are required to submit a paper title and a short abstract of about 100
words in advance of submitting the extended abstract of the paper. The exact
deadline time on these dates is given by anywhere on earth (AoE).
Titles and Short Abstracts Due: 3 January 2017
Full Papers Due: 9 January 2017
Author Feedback/Rebuttal Period: 28 Feb - 4 March 2017
Author Notification: 21 March 2017
Final Versions Due for Proceedings: 18 April 2017
Deadlines are firm; late submissions will not be considered. All
submissions will be electronic via
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lics2017.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Every extended abstract must be submitted in the IEEE Proceedings 2-column 10pt
format and may be at most 12 pages, including references. LaTeX style files are
available on the conference website; please use IEEEtran.cls version V1.8b,
released on 26/08/2015.
The extended abstract must be in English and provide sufficient detail to allow
the program committee to assess the merits of the paper. It should begin with a
succinct statement of the issues, a summary of the main results, and a brief
explanation of their significance and relevance to the conference and to
computer science, all phrased for the non-specialist. Technical development
directed to the specialist should follow. References and comparisons with
related work must be included. (If necessary, detailed proofs of technical
results may be included in a clearly-labeled appendix, to be consulted at the
discretion of program committee members.) Submissions not conforming to the
above requirements will be rejected without further consideration. Paper
selection will be merit-based, with no a priori limit on the number of accepted
papers. Papers authored or co-authored by members of the program committee are
not allowed.
Results must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere,
including the proceedings of other symposia or workshops. The program chair
must be informed, in advance of submission, of any closely related work
submitted or about to be submitted to a conference or journal. Authors of
accepted papers are expected to sign copyright release forms. One author of
each accepted paper is expected to present it at the conference.
SHORT PRESENTATIONS
A session of short presentations, intended for descriptions of student
research, works in progress, and other brief communications, is planned. These
abstracts will not be published. Dates and guidelines will be posted on the
conference website.
KLEENE AWARD FOR BEST STUDENT PAPER
An award in honour of the late Stephen C. Kleene will be given for the best
student paper(s), as judged by the program committee. The 2017 edition of the
award is sponsored by the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science
(EATCS).
SPECIAL ISSUES
Full versions of up to three accepted papers, to be selected by the program
committee, will be invited for submission to the Journal of the ACM. Additional
selected papers will be invited to a special issue of Logical Methods in
Computer Science.
