======================================================================= # CALL FOR PAPERS: MFPS XLI (MFPS 2025) 41st Conference on Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics June 16-20, 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland Joint with CALCO https://coalg.org/calco-mfps-2025/mfps/ ======================================================================= IMPORTANT DATES (anywhere on earth): * Abstract Submission: March 27, 2025 * Paper Submission: April 3, 2025 * Notification: May 12, 2023 * Pre-proceedings: May 24, 2023 * Final (post-proceeding) versions: Autumn 2025 ========================================================================= We are delighted to announce the 41st Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics (MFPS 2025). It will take place at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. MFPS conferences are dedicated to the areas of mathematics, logic, and computer science that are related to models of computation in general, and to semantics of programming languages in particular. This is a forum where researchers in mathematics and computer science can meet and exchange ideas. The participation of researchers in neighbouring areas is strongly encouraged. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: bio-computation; concurrent qualitative and quantitative distributed systems; process calculi; probabilistic systems; constructive mathematics; domain theory and categorical models; formal languages; formal methods; game semantics; lambda calculus; programming language theory; quantum computation; security; topological models; logic; type systems; type theory; denotational and operational semantics; rewrite theory; proof theory. We also welcome contributions that address applications of semantics to novel areas. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- INVITED SPEAKERS ---------------- TBA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL SESSIONS ---------------- * Quantitative Semantics, organized by Ugo Dal Lago (joint session with CALCO) * Mathematics of Natural Language, organized by Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh * Types and the Extraction of Correct Programs, organized by Ulrich Berger ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- * Sandra Alves, University of Porto, Portugal * Giorgio Bacci, Aalborg University, Denmark * Lars Birkedal, University of Arhus, Denmark * Florence Clerc, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland * Robin Cockett, University of Calgary, Canada * Claudia Faggian, IRIF Paris, France * Giulio Guerrieri, University of Sussex, UK * Shin-ya Katsumata, NII, Tokyo, Japan * S.
