Previous SYCO events have been held at University of Birmingham, University of Strathclyde, University of Oxford, Chapman University, and University of Leicester. We welcome submissions from researchers across computer science, mathematics, physics, philosophy, and beyond, with the aim of fostering friendly discussion, disseminating new ideas, and spreading knowledge between fields. Submission is encouraged for both mature research and work in progress, and by both established academics and junior researchers, including students. While no list of topics could be exhaustive, SYCO welcomes submissions with a compositional focus related to any of the following areas, in particular from the perspective of category theory: - logical methods in computer science, including classical and quantum programming, type theory, concurrency, natural language processing and machine learning; - graphical calculi, including string diagrams, Petri nets and reaction networks; - languages and frameworks, including process algebras, proof nets, type theory and game semantics; - abstract algebra and pure category theory, including monoidal category theory, higher category theory, operads, polygraphs, and relationships to homotopy theory; - quantum algebra, including quantum computation and representation theory; - tools and techniques, including rewriting, formal proofs and proof assistants, and game theory; - industrial applications, including case studies and real-world problem descriptions. INVITED SPEAKERS ======== Bartek Klin, University of Warsaw Christine Tasson, IRIF, Universite de Paris IMPORTANT DATES ======== All deadlines are 23:59 Anywhere on Earth. Submission deadline: Monday 10 February 2020 Author notification: Monday 17 February 2020 Symposium dates: Monday 30 and Tuesday 31 March 2020 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ======== Submission are by EasyChair, via the SYCO 7 submission page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=syco7 Submission is easy, with no format requirements or page restrictions. The meeting does not have proceedings, so work can be submitted even if it has been submitted or published elsewhere. Think creatively--- you could submit a recent paper, or notes on work in progress, or even a recent Masters or PhD thesis. In the event that more good-quality submissions are received than can be accommodated in the timetable, the programme committee may choose to *defer* some submissions to a future meeting, rather than reject them. Deferred submissions can be re-submitted to any future SYCO meeting, where they will not need peer review, and where they will be prioritised for inclusion in the programme. Meetings will be held sufficiently frequently to avoid a backlog of deferred papers. If you have a submission which was deferred from a previous SYCO meeting, it will not automatically be considered for SYCO 7; you still need to submit it again through EasyChair. When submitting, append the words "DEFERRED FROM SYCO X" to the title of your paper, replacing "X" with the appropriate meeting number. There is no need to attach any documents.
