[ecoop-info] MFPS 33: first call for papers

[Alexandra Silva]

The 33rd Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics (MFPS XXXIII) 
will take place on the campus of Ljubljana University, Slovenia, between 12 and 
15 June 2017. 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.
