Final Call for Talks and Papers WiL 2019: 3rd Women in Logic Workshop Vancouver, Canada 23 June 2019 https://sites.google.com/site/womeninlogic2019/home

** New dates including extended submission deadline: 21 April 2019

Affiliated with the Thirty-Fourth Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS), 24-27 June 2019 (https://lics.siglog.org/lics19/).

We are holding the third Women in Logic Workshop (WiL 2019) as a LICS associated workshop on 23 June 2019. The workshop follows the pattern of meetings such as Women in Machine Learning (WiML, wimlworkshop.org/) or Women in Engineering (WIE, www.ieee-ras.org/membership/women-in-engineering) that have been taking place for quite a few years.

Women are chronically underrepresented in the LiCS community. The workshop will provide an opportunity for women in the field to increase awareness of one another and one another’s work, to combat the feeling of isolation. It will also provide an environment where women can present to an audience comprising mostly women, replicating the experience that most men have at most LiCS meetings, and lowering the stress of the occasion; we hope that this will be particularly attractive to early-career women.

Previous versions of Women in Logic (Reykjavik, Iceland 2017 and Oxford, UK 2018) were very successful in showcasing women's work and as catalysts for recognition of the need for change in the community. Our extended program committee tries to cover most areas of Logic in Computer Science. These include but are not limited to the usual Logic in Computer Science (LICS) topics. These are: automata theory, automated deduction, categorical models and logics, concurrency and distributed computation, constraint programming, constructive mathematics, database theory, decision procedures, description logics, domain theory, finite model theory, formal aspects of program analysis, formal methods, foundations of computability, games and logic, higher-order logic, lambda and combinatory calculi, linear logic, logic in artificial intelligence, logic programming, logical aspects of bioinformatics, logical aspects of computational complexity, logical aspects of quantum computation, logical frameworks, logics of programs, modal and temporal logics, model checking, probabilistic systems, process calculi, programming language semantics, proof theory, real-time systems, reasoning about security and privacy, rewriting, type systems and type theory, and verification.
