LSFA 2010 - 5th Workshop on Logical and Semantic Frameworks, with Applications

Call for Papers

Scope

Logical and semantic frameworks are formal languages used to represent logics, languages and systems. These frameworks provide foundations for formal specification of systems and programming languages, supporting tool development and reasoning.

The objective of this one-day workshop is to put together theoreticians and practitioners to promote new techniques and results, from the theoretical side, and feedback on the implementation and use of such techniques and results, from the practical side. In this fifth edition, the workshop will be on August 31st, jointly with ICTAC (http://www.iist.unu.edu/ICTAC/ictac2010/) in Natal-Rn, Brasil.

Topics of interest to this forum include, but are not limited to:

• Logical frameworks
• Proof theory
• Type theory
• Automated deduction
• Semantic frameworks
• Specification languages and meta-languages
• Formal semantics of languages and systems
• Computational and logical properties of semantic frameworks
• Implementation of logical and/or semantic frameworks
• Applications of logical and/or semantic frameworks

LSFA’10 also aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing work in progress, and therefore to provide feedback to authors on their preliminary research. Submissions to the workshop will be in the form of full papers. The proceedings are produced only after the meeting, so that authors can incorporate this feedback in the published papers. The publication of LSFA proceedings is planned to be a volume of ENTCS (under consideration by ENTCS editorial board). Selected papers, will be published in a special volume by ISTE (http://www.iste.co.uk/)
