Call for papers (CSL'21 - amended!)

Due to the exceptional circumstances this year,we have decided to change the deadlines slightly.  July 1st is now the deadline for submission of abstracts. The actual papers are expected on July 8th or before. See below for details.

Computer Science Logic (CSL) is the annual conference of the European Association for Computer Science Logic (EACSL).

It is an interdisciplinary conference, spanning across both basic and application oriented research in mathematical logic and computer science.  CSL'21 will be held on January 25-28, 2021, in Ljubljana, Slovenia, at least in principle; the current sanitary crisis will quite certainly have some impact in this respect.

Submission guidelines:

Submitted papers must be in English and must provide sufficient detail to allow the Programme Committee to assess the merits of the paper. Full proofs may appear in a clearly marked technical appendix which will be read at the reviewers' discretion. Authors are strongly encouraged to include a well written introduction which is directed at all members of the PC.

The CSL 2021 conference proceedings will be published in Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs), see the LIPIcs author guidelines. Authors are invited to submit contributed papers of no more than 15 pages in LIPIcs style (not including references), presenting unpublished work fitting the scope of the conference.

Papers may not be submitted concurrently to another conference with refereed proceedings. The PC chairs should be informed of closely related work submitted to a conference or a journal.

Papers authored or co-authored by members of the PC are not allowed.

Update:

At least one of the authors of each accepted paper is expected to register to the conference, and present their papers, whether physically or online, depending on the situation and the available means of organisation in January 2021.

In order to submit a paper, authors are expected to submit an abstract on EasyChair at or before July 1st, 2020, anywhere on Earth.

The deadline for submitting the actual paper is July 8th, 2020, anywhere on Earth.  You may of course submit the actual paper before July 1st, 2020, if you wish.

Only the papers that obey both deadlines will be considered by the program committee.

All restrictions about concurrent submissions and resubmissions mentioned above apply to the papers only, not the abstracts. In short, in doubt, we encourage you to submit an abstract!
