=== Call for contributions ===
Workshop on Fixed Points in Computer Science
19 & 20 February 2024
https://www.irif.fr/users/saurin/fics2024/index.html<https://www.irif.fr/users/saurin/fics2024/index.html>
This year, FICS workshop (Workshop on Fixed Points in Computer Science)
will take place in Naples on the 19th and 20th of February, 2024,
affiliated with CSL 2024 (https://csl2024.github.io/Home/<https://csl2024.github.io/Home>).
== NEWS ==
Workshop proceedings containing the extended abstracts will be
published as an EPTCS volume;
CFP available at: https://www.irif.fr/users/saurin/fics2024/cfp.html;<https://www.irif.fr/users/saurin/fics2024/cfp.html;>
== Important dates and practical details==
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fics2024<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fics2024>
Registration will be handled by CSL 2024 (details to come). Online
participation will be possible with a reduced registration fees, but at
least an author of each abstract will have to register with on-site fees.
== About FICS workshop series ==
The goal is to bring together people from different subfields such as
algebra/coalgebra, verification, logic, around the thematic of fixed
points. Fixed points play a fundamental role in several areas of
computer science. They are used to justify (co)recursive definitions and
associated reasoning techniques. The construction and properties of
fixed points have been investigated in many different settings such as:
design and implementation of programming languages, logics,
verification, databases.
== Scope ==
Topics include, but are not restricted to:
fixed points in automated theorem proving, interactive theorem proving
and logic programming
fixed points in finite model theory, descriptive complexity theory,
and databases
fixed points in category theory for logic in computer science
== Types of submissions ==
This year, we welcome two categories of submissions, short abstracts as
well as extended abstracts:
Both types of submissions will be handled via Easychair and will be
peer-reviewed by the PC.
In order to submit a short or extended abstract to FICS, please visit
the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fics2024<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fics2024>
A proceedings volume gathering the extended abstracts will be
published by EPTCS shortly after the workshop (see details below).
Here are details on each type of submission:
short abstracts are abstracts of **3 to 5 pages, references
included**, describing the topic of the proposed contributed talk. They
may contain (i) new completed results, (ii) work in progress or (iii)
already (recently) published or submitted works. The submission can
refer to a published paper or a preprint but the description given in
the short abstract should be sufficiently detailed for the PC to judge
the relevance of the proposed talk to the workshop program.
extended abstracts are papers of **6 to 10 pages, references
excluded**, describing original results which have not been published
nor are currently submitted elsewhere. The results must be presented in
sufficient details to constitute a scientific publication. An appendix
can provide additional details for the reviewer but will be read at the
discretion of the reviewers.
A volume of proceedings containing the extended abstracts will be
published soon after the workshop by EPTCS: the authors of extended
abstracts will be asked to submit a revised version few weeks after the
event, allowing them to take into account the workshop discussions.
Details will be released later.
== Program Committee ==
== Journal publication ==
Depending on the number and quality of submissions, we will plan a
subsequent special issue of a journal, as often done for previous
editions of the workshop.
