mathematics and type theory; homotopy type theory; logic, automata, and
automatic structures; computability and randomness; logical foundations of
programming; logical aspects of computational complexity; parameterized
complexity;  logic programming and constraints; automated deduction and
interactive theorem proving; logical methods in protocol and program
verification;  logical methods in program specification and extraction;
domain theory logics; logical foundations of database theory; equational
logic and term rewriting; lambda and combinatory calculi; categorical logic
and topological semantics; linear logic; epistemic and temporal logics;
intelligent and multiple agent system logics; logics of proof and
justification; nonmonotonic reasoning; logic in game theory and social
software; logic of hybrid systems; distributed system logics; mathematical
fuzzy logic; system design logics; other logics in computer science.

SUBMISSION DETAILS. Proceedings will be published in the Springer LNCS
series. There will be a post-conference volume of selected works published.
Submissions should be made electronically via http://www.easychair.org/
LFCS18/. Submitted papers must be in pdf/12pt format and of no more than 15
pages, present work not previously published, and must not be submitted
concurrently to another conference with refereed proceedings.

LFCS issues the BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD named after John Barkley Rosser
Sr. (1907-1989), a prominent American logician with fundamental
contributions in both Mathematics and Computer Science.

IMPORTANT DATES. Submissions deadline: September 10, 2017, any time zone.

About LFCS.
The LFCS series provides an outlet for the fast-growing body of work in the
logical foundations of computer science, e.g., areas of fundamental
theoretical logic related to computer science. The LFCS series began with
Logic at Botik, Pereslavl-Zalessky, 1989 and was co-organized by Albert R.
Meyer (MIT) and Michael Taitslin (Tver), after which organization passed to
Anil Nerode in 1992. LFCS has enjoyed support and endorsements from a
number of bodies, including the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and
the City University of New York Research Foundation.
