FSTTCS Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science

FSTTCS 2020 is the 40th conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science. It is organised by IARCS, the Indian Association for Research in Computing Science. It is a forum for presenting original results in foundational aspects of Computer Science and Software Technology.

Representative areas include, but are not limited to, the following.

Track A

• Algebraic Complexity
• Algorithms and Data Structures
• Algorithmic Graph Theory and Combinatorics
• Approximation Algorithms
• Combinatorial Optimization
• Communication Complexity
• Computational Biology
• Computational Complexity
• Computational Geometry
• Computational Learning Theory
• Cryptography and Security
• Data Streaming and Sublinear algorithms
• Game Theory and Mechanism Design
• Parallel, Distributed and Online Algorithms
• Parameterized Complexity
• Proof Complexity
• Quantum Computing
• Randomness in Computing
• Theoretical Aspects of Mobile and High-Performance Computing

Track B

• Automata, Games and Formal Languages
• Logic in Computer Science
• Modal and Temporal Logics
• Model Checking and Reactive Synthesis
• Models of Concurrent, Distributed and Mobile Systems
• Models of Timed, Reactive, Hybrid and Stochastic Systems
• Model Theory
• Principles and Semantics of Programming Languages
• Program Analysis and Transformation
• Security protocols
• Specification, Verification and Synthesis
• Theorem Proving and Decision Procedures

Specification, Verification and Synthesis

This year, in track B, with a view to having sufficient representation in the program from “Foundations of Software Technology” we particularly solicit submissions in the areas of programming languages and practical verification, including, but not limited to,

• hardware and software verification
• practical verification including case-studies
• static analysis and type systems
• verification of intelligent, autonomous, and cyber-physical systems
• security verification

We also encourage proposals for workshops in this area.

Submissions must be in electronic form via ​EasyChair using the LIPIcs LaTeX style file. Submissions must not exceed 12 pages (excluding bibliography), but may include a clearly marked appendix containing technical details. The appendix will be read only at the discretion of the program committee. Simultaneous submissions to journals or other conferences with published proceedings are disallowed.

Accepted papers will be published as proceedings of the conference in the ​Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs)​ as a free, open, electronic archive with access to all. Authors will retain full rights over their work. The accepted papers will be published under a ​CC-BY license​. For an accepted paper to be included in the proceedings, one of the authors must commit to presenting the paper at the conference.
