Twenty-eighth Conference on the
Mathematical Foundations of
Programming Semantics
University of Bath
United Kingdom
6 - 9 June 2012
The Twenty-eighth Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of
Programming Semantics will take place on the campus of the
University of Bath, United Kingdom from June 6 through June 9, 2012.
MFPS conferences are devoted to those areas of mathematics, logic,
and computer science that are related to models of computation, in
general, and to the semantics of programming languages, in
particular. The series has particularly stressed providing a forum
where researchers in mathematics and computer science can meet and
exchange ideas about problems of common interest. As the series also
strives to maintain breadth in its scope, the conference strongly
encourages participation by researchers in neighbouring areas.
TOPICS include, but are not limited to, the following: biocomputation;
concurrent qualitative and quantitative distributed systems; process
calculi; probabilistic systems; constructive mathematics; domain
theory and categorical models; formal languages; formal methods; game
semantics; lambda calculus; programming-language theory; quantum
computation; security; topological models; logic; type systems; type
theory. We also welcome contributions that address applications of
semantics to novel areas such as complex systems, markets, and
networks, for example.

SPECIAL SESSIONS: There will be four special sessions at the meeting,
each associated with one of the plenary talks:
* Logic, computation and algebraic topology,
organised by Steve Awodey and Michael Mislove
* Security, organised by Michael Clarkson and Catherine Meadows.
The papers in this session will be chosen from the papers
submitted in response to this Call.
