non-standard logics in computer science; concurrency theory and
foundations of distributed and mobile computing; database theory;
finite model theory; formal aspects of program analysis, foundations
of hybrid and real-time systems; lambda and combinatory calculi;
logical aspects of computational complexity; modal and temporal
logics; model checking and verification; probabilistic systems; logics
and semantics of programs; foundations of security; term rewriting;
specifications; type, proof and category theory in computer science.


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of at most 15 pages
(LNCS style with at least 11-point font size) to arrive before April
27, 2014. If more space is needed, a clearly marked appendix, to be
read at the discretion of the program committee, may be included if
desired. Submission will be handled by EasyChair. Further information
and submission details can be found on the Conference web page.
Simultaneous submissions to other conferences with published
proceedings are not allowed.

PROCEEDINGS:

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Selected papers from

Friends and colleagues (and apologies for multiple postings):



I am organizing a session on ?Container Terminal Operations? under the
stream of ?Port operations? for the upcoming IFORS 2014 meeting to be
held July 13-18 in Barcelona. The website for the conference can be
found at www.ifors2014.org.



I would like to invite you to submit an abstract (until January 31,
2014) and participate in the discussion.

If you are interested in presenting a paper in that session, please
send me your title along with your name at
deniz.ozdemir@yasar.edu.tr . So that I can provide you the invitation
code and the necessary details.


Looking forward to seeing you in Barcelona!
