OVERVIEW
--------
FSCD (https://fscd-conference.org/) covers all aspects of formal 
structures for computation and deduction from theoretical foundations to 
applications. Building on two communities, RTA (Rewriting Techniques and 
Applications) and TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications), FSCD 
embraces their core topics and broadens their scope to closely related 
areas in logic, models of computation, semantics and verification in new 
challenging areas.

The suggested, but not exclusive, list of topics for submission is:

1. Calculi:
  - Rewriting systems (string, term, higher-order, graph, conditional, 
modulo, infinitary, etc.);
  - Lambda calculus;
  - Logics (first-order, higher-order, equational, modal, linear, 
classical, constructive, etc.);
  - Proof theory (natural deduction, sequent calculus, proof nets, etc.);
  - Type theory and logical frameworks;
  - Homotopy type theory;
  - Process algebras (synchronous, asynchronous, static and dynamic 
semantics with and without time, etc.);
  - Quantum calculi.

2. Methods in Computation and Deduction:
  - Type systems (polymorphism, dependent, recursive, intersection, 
session, etc.);
  - Induction, coinduction;
  - Matching, unification, completion, orderings;
  - Strategies (normalization, completeness, etc.);
  - Tree automata;
  - Model building and model checking;
  - Proof search and theorem proving;
  - Constraint solving and decision procedures.

3. Semantics:
  - Operational semantics and abstract machines;
  - Game Semantics and applications;
  - Domain theory and categorical models;
  - Quantitative models (timing, probabilities, etc.);
  - Quantum computation and emerging models in computation.

4. Algorithmic Analysis and Transformations of Formal Systems:
  - Type inference and type checking;
  - Abstract Interpretation;
  - Complexity analysis and implicit computational complexity;
  - Checking termination, confluence, derivational complexity and 
related properties;
  - Symbolic computation.

5. Tools and Applications:
  - Programming and proof environments;
  - Verification tools;
  - Proof assistants and interactive theorem provers;
  - Applications in industry;
  - Applications of formal systems in other sciences;
  - Applications of formal systems in education.

6. Formal Systems for Semantics and Verification in new challenging areas:
  - Certification;
  - Security;
  - Blockchain protocols;
  - Data bases;
  - Deep learning and machine learning algorithms;
  - Planning.

PUBLICATION
-----------
The proceedings will be published as an electronic volume in the Leibniz 
International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) of Schloss Dagstuhl. 
All LIPIcs proceedings are open access.

SPECIAL ISSUE
-------------
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version 
to a special issue of Logical Methods in Computer Science, or to TheoretiCS.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
---------------------
The submission site is:

    https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fscd2024

Submissions must be formatted using the LIPIcs style files 
(https://submission.dagstuhl.de/series/details/5#author) and submitted 
via EasyChair.

Submissions can be made in two categories. Regular research papers are 
limited to 15 pages, excluding references and appendices. They must 
present original research which is unpublished and not submitted 
elsewhere. System descriptions are limited to 15 pages, excluding 
references. Shorter papers are welcome and will be given equal 
consideration.
A system description must present new software tools, or significantly 
new versions of such tools, in which FSCD topics play an important role. 
An archive of the code with instructions on how to install and run the 
tool must be submitted. In addition, a webpage where the system can be 
experimented with should be provided.

One author of each accepted paper is expected to register and present 
the work in person at the conference. Alternatively to in-person 
presentation, also online presentation is possible, but in-person 
registration by at least one author will still be required.


BEST PAPER AWARD BY JUNIOR RESEARCHERS
--------------------------------------
The program committee will select a paper in which at least one author 
is a junior researcher, i.e. either a student or whose PhD award date is 
less than three years from the first day of the meeting. When submitting 
the paper, other authors should declare to the PC Chair that at least 
50% of contribution is made by the junior researcher(s).
