DEADLINE EXTENSION We have decided to extend the deadlines for RAMiCS 2021 by *two weeks*, please see below for the new deadlines and the CfP. 19th International Conference on Relational and Algebraic Methods in Computer Science RAMiCS 2021 2 to 5 November 2021, CIRM, Marseille, France https://ramics19.lis-lab.fr/ IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract Submission: 28 May 2021 Paper Submission: 4 June 2021 Author Notification: 23 July 2021 Final Version: 12 August 2021 RAMiCS 2021: 2 to 5 November 2021 INVITED TALKS: Marcelo Frias, Buenos Aires Institute of Technology, Argentina Barbara König, Duisburg-Essen University, Germany Dmitriy Zhuk, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia GENERAL INFORMATION: Since 1994, the RAMiCS conference series has been the main venue for research on relation algebras, Kleene algebras and similar algebraic formalisms, and their applications as conceptual and methodological tools in computer science and beyond. RAMiCS 2021 will take place at CIRM, the Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques at the beautiful Luminy campus close to Marseille. Depending on the Covid-19 situation, it will take the form of a physical conference, a virtual conference, or a hybrid between the two. There will be no registration fees to the conference. A limited number of grants, covering lodging and catering, are supplied by CIRM and the Archimède Institute. TOPICS: We invite submissions in the general fields of algebras relevant to computer science and applications of such algebras. Topics include but are not limited to: * Theory - algebras such as semigroups, residuated lattices, semirings, Kleene algebras, relation algebras and quantales - their connections with program logics and other logics - their use in the theories of automata, concurrency, formal languages, games, networks and programming languages - the development of algebraic, algorithmic, category-theoretic, coalgebraic and proof-theoretic methods for these theories - their formalisation with theorem provers * Applications - tools and techniques for program correctness, specification and verification - quantitative and qualitative models and semantics of computing systems and processes - algorithm design, automated reasoning, network protocol analysis, social choice, optimisation and control - industrial applications SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Submission is via EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ramics2021 All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three referees. The proceedings will be published in an LNCS volume by Springer, ready at the conference. Submissions must not be published or under review for publication elsewhere. Submissions must be in English using a PDF not exceeding 16 pages in LNCS style. Submissions must provide sufficient information to judge their merits. Additional material may be provided in a clearly marked appendix or by a reference to a manuscript on a web site. Experimental data, software or mathematical components for theorem provers must be available in sufficient detail for referees. Deviation from these requirements may lead to rejection. One author of each accepted paper is expected to present the paper at the conference. Accepted papers must be produced with LaTeX. Formatting instructions and LNCS style files are available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html As for earlier RAMiCS conferences, we intend to publish a journal special issue with revised and extended versions of a selection of the best papers.
