LFCS Purpose:

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.

 


LFCS Topics:

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • constructive mathematics and type theory;
  • logic, automata and automatic structures;
  • computability and randomness;
  • logical foundations of programming;
  • logical aspects of computational complexity;
  • logic programming and constraints;
  • automated deduction and interactive theorem proving;
  • logical methods in protocol and program verification;
  • logical methods in program specification and extraction;
  • domain theory logics;
  • logical foundations of database theory;
  • equational logic and term rewriting;
  • lambda and combinatory calculi;
  • categorical logic and topological semantics;
  • linear logic;
  • epistemic and temporal logics;
  • intelligent and multiple agent system logics;
  • logics of proof and justification;
  • nonmonotonic reasoning;
  • logic in game theory and social software;
  • logic of hybrid systems;
  • distributed system logics;
  • mathematical fuzzy logic;
  • system design logics;
