Call for papers

The 15th IFIP WG 1.3 International Workshop on
Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science (CMCS’20)
Dublin, Ireland, 25 – 26 April 2020
(co-located with ETAPS 2020)
www.coalg.org/cmcs20

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;
• coalgebraic data types, type systems and behavioural typing;
• coinductive definition and proof principles for coalgebras (including “up-to” techniques);
• coalgebras and algebras;
• coalgebras and (modal) logic;
• coalgebraic specification and verification;
• coalgebra and control theory (notably of discrete event and hybrid systems);
• coalgebra in quantum computing;
• coalgebra and game theory;
• tools exploiting coalgebraic techniques.

Submission guidelines

We solicit two types of contributions: regular papers and short contributions.
Regular papers should not exceed 20 pages in length, excluding references,
in Springer LNCS style. A clearly-labelled appendix containing technical proofs
can be added, but this will not be published in the proceedings and will be consulted
at the discretion of the referees. 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=cmcs2020.

The proceedings of CMCS 2020 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.
