CALL FOR PAPERS
SYMPOSIUM ON LOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE 2009 (LFCS'09)
Deerfield Beach, Florida, January 3-6, 2009
www.lfcs.info

The LFCS series provides an outlet for the fast-growing body of work in
the logical foundations of computer science, e.g., areas of fundamental
theoretical logic related to computer science. The LFCS series began
with Logic at Botik, Pereslavl-Zalessky, 1989 and was co-organized by
Albert R. Meyer (MIT) and  Michael Taitslin (Tver), after which
organization passed to Anil Nerode.
