Logical Foundations of Computer Science

2016年计算机科学逻辑基础（LFCS）研讨会将于1月4日至7日在佛罗里达州博卡拉顿的佛罗里达大西洋大学主持下在佛罗里达州举行。LFCS总主席是Anil Nerode（康奈尔大学），计划委员会主席是Sergei Artemov（纽约城市大学研究生中心），组织委员会主席是Robert Lubarsky（佛罗里达大西洋大学，Boca Raton）。LFCS系列代表了与计算机科学相关的基础逻辑领域的工作主体。会议的目的是鼓励交流和相互使用来自各种领域和应用的思想。LFCS会议对于美国的逻辑学和基础学界来说似乎意义重大且日益重要，因为计算机和信息科学提供了一组核心逻辑方法以最直接和最强大的方式应用的领域。这样的会议对于建立计算机科学未来的逻辑基础至关重要。自1989年成立以来，每次LFCS会议在会前都会出版100万卷的论文集，而且按照惯例，会后还会出版《纯粹与应用逻辑年鉴》——数理逻辑领域的旗舰期刊。美国逻辑学和基础学界从这样的会议中受益匪浅。LFCS会议吸引了大量的研究生，对他们来说，这次会议是一个里程碑式的事件。逻辑和基础生活在佛罗里达地区需要支持。LFCS 2016的另一个主要受益者是纽约城市大学的逻辑社区，这是拥有大量未被充分代表群体的领先机构之一。LFCS 2016的网站位于http://lfcs.info/lfcs-2016。

The Logical Foundations of Computer Science (LFCS) symposium of 2016 will be held in Florida under auspice of Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, on January 4-7. The LFCS General Chair is Anil Nerode (Cornell University), the Program Committee Chair is Sergei Artemov (Graduate Center of the City University of New York), and the Organizing Committee Chair is Robert Lubarsky (Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton). The LFCS series represents the body of work in those areas of fundamental logic related to computer science. The conference is intended to encourage the interchange and interuse of ideas emanating from a wide variety of fields and applications. LFCS conferences appear to be of significant and growing importance for the logic and foundations community in the United States since computer and information sciences provide a cluster of areas in which the core logical methods are applicable in the most immediate and powerful way. Such a conference is pivotal for building a cadre of future logical foundations of computer science.Since its origin in 1989, each LFCS meeting has resulted in a Springer volume of proceedings published prior to the conference and, as has been the norm, a post-conference volume of Annals of Pure and Applied Logic - a flagship journal in mathematical logic. The US community in logic and foundations benefits greatly from such a conference. LFCS conferences attract a good number of graduate students for whom this conference is a milestone event. Logic and foundations life in Florida area needs support. Another major beneficiary of LFCS 2016 is the logic community in the City University of New York, one of the leading institutions with a high number of underrepresented groups.
