LSFA'07 - Second Workshop on Logical and Semantic Frameworks, with Applications

(Satellite Event to SBMF'07, the Brazilian Symposium on Formal Methods)

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.

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´07 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 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.

Invited Speakers

Fairouz Kamareddine, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh (Confirmed)

Gilles Dowek, École Polytechnique, Paris (Confirmed)

Simona Ronchi Della Rocca, Università di Torino (Confirmed)

Organizing Committee

Contributions should be written in English and submitted in the form full papers with at most 16 pages. They must be unpublished and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. The submission should be in the form of a PDF file uploaded to LSFA'07 page at EasyChair until the submission deadline in May 31st, by midnight, Central European Standard Time (GMT+1).

The papers should be prepared in latex using Elsevier ENTCS style. The workshop pre-proceedings, containing the reviewed extended abstracts, will be handed-out at workshop registration and the proceedings will be published as a volume of ENTCS.

After the workshop, according to the quantity and quality of selected papers, the authors will be invited to submit full versions of their works that will be also reviewed to high standards. Currently a special issue of the first edition of the workshop LSFA'06 is being processed and will appear in the new Elsevier Journal on Algorithms in Applied Logic.

At least one of the authors should register at the conference. The paper presentation should be in english.
