37th Conference on Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics
MFPS XXXVII (MFPS 2021)
MFPS conferences are dedicated to the areas of mathematics, logic, and computer science that are related to models of computation in general, and to semantics of programming languages in particular. This is a forum where researchers in mathematics and computer science can meet and exchange ideas. The participation of researchers in neighbouring areas is strongly encouraged.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: bio-computation; concurrent qualitative and quantitative distributed systems; process calculi; probabilistic systems; constructive mathematics; domain theory and categorical models; formal languages; formal methods; game semantics; lambda calculus; programming-language theory; quantum computation; security; topological models; logic; type systems; type theory. We also welcome contributions that address applications of semantics to novel areas such as complex systems, markets, and networks, for example.

MFPS Organizers
The MFPS Organizers are Andrej Bauer, (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia), Stephen Brookes (Carnegie Mellon University, USA), Achim Jung, (University of Birmingham, UK), Catherine Meadows (NRL, USA), Michael Mislove (Tulane University, USA), Joel Ouaknine (Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, Germany), Prakash Panangaden (McGill University Montreal, Canada).
Submissions
Submissions should be prepared using the ENTCS Macros, and should be up to 12 pages long excluding bibliography and appendices. Submissions will be via EasyChair.
Proceedings
Elsevier ceased publication of ENTCS at the end of 2020. ENTCS was the traditional publication venue for MFPS. Negotiations are underway to establish a new arrangement for MFPS proceedings publication going forward. The new venue will be announced as soon as arrangements are complete. We anticipate the formal proceedings of this year’s conference will be published after the meeting, as has been the tradition for MFPS for many years. A preliminary proceedings will be distributed to participants at the meeting.
