CMCS 2014: First call for papers

[Alexandra Silva]

                              Call for Papers

                       12th International Workshop on
                Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science (CMCS'14)
                    5 - 6 April 2014, Grenoble, France
                        http://www.coalg.org/cmcs14

Objectives and scope
-------------------
Established in 1998, the CMCS workshops aim to bring together researchers 
with a common interest in the theory of coalgebras, their logics, and their 
applications. As the workshop series strives to maintain breadth in its scope,
areas of interest include neighbouring fields as well. Topics of interest 
include, but are not limited to, the following: 
	
  	
- The theory of coalgebras (including set theoretic and categorical 
   approaches)
- Coalgebras as computational and semantical models (for 
   programming languages, dynamical systems, term rewriting, etc.) 
- Coalgebras in (functional, object-oriented, concurrent, and constraint) 
   programming 
- Model checking, theorem proving and deductive verification 
   using coalgebraic techniques 
- Coalgebraic data types, type systems and 
   behavioural typing 
- Proof principles and (coinductive) definitions for 
   coalgebras (e.g. with bisimulations or invariants) 
- Coalgebras and algebras 
- Coalgebraic specification and verification 
- Coalgebras and (modal) logic 
- Coalgebra and control theory (notably of discrete event 
   and hybrid systems) 
- Coalgebra in quantum computing 
-  Coalgebra and game theory 
- Tools exploiting colgebraic techniques

Submission guidelines
---------------------
We solicit two types of contributions: regular papers and short contributions.
Regular papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for 
publication elsewhere. They should not exceed 20 pages in length in Springer 
LNCS style. Short contributions may describe work in progress, or summarise 
work submitted to a conference or workshop elsewhere. They should be no more 
than two pages. Regular papers and short contributions should be submitted 
electronically as a PDF file via the Easychair system at 

         http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmcs2014. 

The proceedings of CMCS 2014 will include all accepted regular papers and 
will be published post-conference as a Springer volume in the IFIP-LNCS 
series. Accepted short contributions will be bundled in a technical report.
