CALL FOR PAPERS

SYMPOSIUM ON LOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE (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.
