Submission Guidelines

Submissions can be made in two categories:

Submissions must be formatted using the LIPIcs style files for authors that can be found here.

A condition of submission is that, if accepted, one of the authors must register and attend the conference to give the presentation.

Papers must be submitted via Easychair. The submission site is here.

Best paper award by junior researchers

The program committee will consider declaring this award to a paper in which at least one author is a junior researcher, i.e. either a student or whose PhD award date is less than three years from the first day of the meeting. Other authors should declare to the PC Chair that at least 50% of contribution is made by the junior researcher(s). Send an e-mail to the PC Chair at fscd18@easychair.org .

The Proceedings

The proceedings will be published as an electronic volume in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs). All LIPIcs proceedings are open access.



Special Issue

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version for a special issue of Logical Methods in Computer Science.
