================= MFCS 2023 ================= 48th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science August 28 — September 1, 2023, Bordeaux, France The MFCS conference series on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science is a high-quality venue for original research in all branches the longest history in the field-the first conference in the series was held already in 1972. Traditionally, the conference moved between the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, while since 2013, the conference has traveled around Europe. MFCS 2023 will be held in Bordeaux, France. https://mfcs2023.labri.fr/ <https://mfcs2023.labri.fr/> Barring substantial and unforeseen developments, MFCS will be organized as a physical event, and at least one author of each accepted paper must register at the conference. Invited speakers Marthe Bonamy (University of Bordeaux, France) Joan Boyar (University of Southern Denmark), Online Algorithms with Predictions Artur Czumaj (University of Warwick, UK) Laura Kovacs (TU Wien, Austria), Algebraic Reasoning for (Un)Solvable Loops Paul Spirakis (university of Liverpool, UK) Important Dates Abstract submission deadline: April 24th (AoE) Paper submission deadline: April 28th (AoE) Notification of authors: June 27th Camera-ready: July 18th Conference dates: August 28th - September 1st Submission Guidelines Papers should be submitted electronically through EasyChair. https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mfcs2023 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mfcs2023> Submissions should be formatted using the LIPIcs style with length not exceeding 12 pages (excluding references and an optional appendix). References and an optional appendix can go beyond the 12 pages; the appendix will be consulted at the discretion of the program committee. It is mandatory to use the LIPIcs style for submissions. No prior publication or simultaneous submission to other conferences or journals are allowed (except preprint repositories such as arXiv or workshops without formal published proceedings). Publication As in previous years, MFCS 2023 proceedings will be published in LIPIcs (Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics) under an open access license.
