Yours sincerely, Zoltan Esik ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* ** ** ** F I C S ' 9 8 ** ** ** ** Fixed Points in Computer Science ** ** ** ** A Satellite Workshop to MFCS'98 ** ** ** ** August 27-28, 1998, Brno, Czech Republic ** ** ** ** Second Announcement ** ** ** ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* Aim: Fixed points play a fundamental role in several areas of computer science, and the construction and properties of fixed points have been investigated in many different frameworks. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to present their results to those members of the computer science community who study or apply the fixed point operation in the different fields and formalisms. Topics: Construction and reasoning about properties of fixed points, categorical, metric and ordered fixed point models, continuous algebras, relation algebras, fixed points in process algebras and process calculi, regular algebra of finitary and infinitary languages, formal power series, tree automata and tree languages, infinite trees, the mu-calculus and other programming logics, fixed points in relation to dataflow and circuits, fixed points and the lambda calculus. Invited lectures: A. Arnold (Bordeaux): Boolean mu-calculus and its relations with model-checking and games J. W. de Bakker (Amsterdam): Fixed points in metric semantics Y. N. Moschovakis (Los Angeles/Athens): Fair, non-deterministic recursion in higher types (tentative) Program Committee: R. Backhouse (Eindhoven) S. L. Bloom (Hoboken) C. Boehm (Rome) R.

Electronic submissions in the form of uuencoded postscript file are encouraged and can be sent to fics@inf.u-szeged.hu. Submissions are to be received before May 25, 1998. Authors will be notified of acceptance by June 25, 1998. Proceedings: Preliminary proceedings containing the abstracts of the talks will be available at the meeting. Publication of final proceedings as a special issue of Theoretical Informatics and Applications depends on the number and quality of the papers. The workshop will be organised at the same place as the federated MFCS'98/CSL'98 conference and care will be taken that participants of the workshop can attend invited talks of the MFCS and CSL conferences. No special registration fee is required for participants who also register for MFCS'98 or CSL'98 and have a presentation at the workshop. Other workshop participants registered for MFCS'98 or CSL'98 will be requested to pay a small fee for the preliminary proceedings. Registration only for the workshop is also possible--expenses for fee, accommodation, and basic meals are very modest. Registration information can be found on the MFCS web page at http://www.fi.muni.cz/mfcs98. Organising Committee: L. Bernatsky (Szeged) A. Kucera (Brno) T.
