LICS 2009 Call for Workshop Proposals

The twenty-fourth IEEE Symposium on Logic In Computer Science (LICS 2009) will be held in Los Angeles, California, 11th-14th August 2009. Possible dates for workshops are Sunday 9th August, Monday 10th August and Saturday 15th August, 2009 (i.e., two days before and one day after LICS).

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit proposals for workshops on topics relating logic - broadly construed - to computer science or related fields. Typically, LICS workshops feature a number of invited speakers and a number of contributed presentations. LICS workshops do not produce formal proceedings. However, in the past there have been special issues of journals based in part on certain LICS workshops. Proposals should include:

• A short scientific summary and justification of the proposed topic. This should include a discussion of the particular benefits of the topic to the LICS community.
• A discussion of the proposed format and agenda.
• The proposed duration, which is typically one to two days, and your preferred dates. This is important!
• Procedures for selecting participants and papers.
• Expected number of participants. This is important!
• Potential invited speakers.
• Plans for dissemination (for example, special issues of journals).

Proposals are due on the 1st December 2008, and should be submitted electronically to the Workshops Chairs:

Notifications will be sent by the 15th December 2008. The Workshops selection committee consists of the LICS General Chair, LICS Workshops Chairs, LICS 2009 PC Chair and LICS 2009 Conference Chair.
