OVERVIEW
--------
FSCD (https://fscd-conference.org/) covers all aspects of formal
structures for computation and deduction, from theoretical foundations
to applications. Building on two communities, RTA (Rewriting Techniques
and Applications) and TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications), FSCD
embraces their core topics and broadens their scope to closely related
areas in logic, models of computation, semantics and verification in new
challenging areas.
The suggested, but not exclusive, list of topics for submission is:
1. Calculi:
- Rewriting systems (string, term, higher-order, nominal, graph,
conditional, modulo, infinitary, etc.);
- Lambda calculus;
- Logics (first-order, higher-order, equational, modal, linear,
classical, constructive, etc.);
- Proof theory (natural deduction, sequent calculus, proof nets, etc.);
- Type theory and logical frameworks;
- Homotopy type theory;
- Process algebras (synchronous, asynchronous, static and dynamic
semantics with and without time, etc.)
- Quantum calculi.
2. Methods in Computation and Deduction:
- Type systems (polymorphism, dependent, recursive, intersection,
session, etc.);
- Induction, coinduction;
- Matching, unification, completion, orderings;
- Strategies (normalisation, completeness, etc.);
- Tree automata;
- Model building and model checking;
- Proof search and theorem proving;
- Constraint solving and decision procedures.
3. Semantics:
- Operational semantics and abstract machines;
- Game Semantics and applications;
- Domain theory and categorical models;
- Quantitative models (timing, probabilities, etc.);
- Quantum computation and emerging models of computation.
4. Algorithmic Analysis and Transformations of Formal Systems:
- Type inference and type checking;
- Abstract Interpretation;
- Complexity analysis and implicit computational complexity;
- Checking termination, confluence, derivational complexity and
related properties;
- Symbolic computation.
5. Tools and Applications:
- Programming and proof environments;
- Verification tools;
- Proof assistants and interactive theorem provers;
- Applications in industry;
- Applications of formal systems in other sciences;
- Applications of formal systems in education.
6. Formal Systems for Modelling and Verification in new challenging areas:
- Certification;
- Security;
- Blockchain;
- Databases;
- Deep learning and machine learning algorithms;
- Planning.
PUBLICATION
-----------
The proceedings will be published as an electronic volume in the Leibniz
International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) of Schloss Dagstuhl.
All LIPIcs proceedings are open access.
SPECIAL ISSUE
-------------
There will be a special issue of Logical Methods in Computer Science of
selected papers. More details will be provided later.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
---------------------
The submission site is:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fscd2025
Submissions must be formatted using the LIPIcs style files
(https://submission.dagstuhl.de/series/details/5#author) and submitted
via EasyChair.
Submissions can be made in two categories: regular research papers and
system descriptions. Please indicate in the submission page in Easychair
and in the first page of the paper in which category you are submitting.
Regular research papers are limited to 15 pages, excluding references
and appendices. They must present original research which is unpublished
and not submitted elsewhere.
System descriptions are limited to 15 pages, excluding references.
Shorter papers are welcome and will be given equal consideration. A
system description must present new software tools, or significantly new
versions of such tools, in which FSCD topics play an important role. An
archive of the code with instructions on how to install and run the tool
must be submitted. In addition, a webpage where the system can be
experimented with should be provided.
One author of each accepted paper is expected to register and present
the work in person at the conference. In case that this is not possible
for some unforeseen reason, online presentation will be arranged, but in
person registration will still be required.
BEST PAPER AWARD BY JUNIOR RESEARCHERS
--------------------------------------
The programme committee will select a paper in which at least one author
is a junior researcher, i.e. either a student or whose PhD award date is
less than three years from the first day of the meeting. When submitting
the paper, other authors should declare to the PC Chair that at least
50% of contribution is made by the junior researcher(s).

Dear all,
just a quick reminder: the presentation of the termCOMP results will be
live-streamed in less than 1h (it's scheduled for 17:30).
https://rwth.zoom-x.de/j/68473985705?pwd=ywoZl7Zc4wZVdq9hMdAkZUQ6C0Iwjp.1
It's in the middle of a session, so it won't necessarily start on time.
I'll open the Zoom-Meeting at ~17:20.

About the conference
SAT 2024 is the 27th edition of the International Conference on Theory and Applications of
Satisfiability Testing (SAT). The scope of SAT 2024 includes all aspects of the theory
and applications of propositional satisfiability, broadly construed. This also includes
Boolean optimization, such as MaxSAT and Pseudo-Boolean (PB) constraints, Quantified
Boolean Formulas (QBF), Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT), Model Counting, and
Constraint Programming (CP) for problems with clear connections to Boolean-level
reasoning.
SAT 2024 is the first time that SAT will take place in India. There will be co-located
schools and workshops prior to the conference. The events are being organized by TCS
Research and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.
Keynote Speakers
- Martina Seidl, Johannes Kepler University, Austria
- Cesare Tinelli, University of Iowa, USA
- Moshe Y. Vardi, Rice University, USA
Awards
- A "Best Paper Award" and a "Best Student Paper Award" will be
announced during the conference.
- The "Fahiem Bacchus PhD Award in Satisfiability" will also be announced.
This new award established by the SAT Association distinguishes one outstanding PhD thesis
from the past two years in the field of Satisfiability, broadly construed. The award is
named after Fahiem Bacchus who made significant contributions to the theory and practice
of SAT as well as to the SAT community and the SAT Association.
About the venue
The venue of SAT 2024 is Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Sahyadri Park - 2, Hinjewadi,
Pune. Surrounded by the rolling hills of the Sahyadri ranges on three sides, this campus
is a scenic and well-equipped setting for hosting SAT 2024. The campus has shared
conference rooms, breakout areas, training rooms and a 500-seater multi-purpose
auditorium.
Pune is the second largest city after Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay) in the state of
Maharashtra in western India. It is well-known for its salubrious climate, rich culture, a
vibrant theatre and classical music scene, and its automotive and information technology
industries. The city of Mumbai, with its associated tourist attractions, is a 3-hour
pleasant drive from Pune.

Dear all,
the competition is over, the last category (ITS Termination) just
finished during the last coffee break.
https://termcomp.verify.rwth-aachen.de/Y2024/
If there's something interesting / remarkable about this year's
competition, please let me know, so that I can include it in the
presentation on Friday.
