STRUCTURE MEETS POWER 2023
(LICS workshop)
Call for Contributions
****************************************
Workshop dates: 25 June 2023 (Boston and online)
https://www.cst.cam.ac.uk/conference/structure-meets-power-2023
Scope -----
There is a remarkable divide in the field of logic in Computer Science between two distinct strands: one focuses on semantics and compositionality (“Structure”), the other on expressiveness and complexity (“Power”). These two traditions are studied by almost disjoint research communities using almost disjoint technical languages and methods.
We believe that bringing these communities and research fields together is an important objective in Computer Science, which may hold the key to fundamental advances in the field. The aim of this workshop is to attract investigators at the boundary of the two strands, and those on either side of the divide interested in establishing new connections.
Previous workshops on this theme were held as affiliated workshops of LiCS 2021 and ICALP 2022.
This is a LiCS 2023 affiliated workshop. It will be a hybrid event, however on-site participation is highly encouraged.
