[DMANET] 8th Workshop on Games for Logic and Programming Languages (GaLoP 2013)

8th Workshop on Games for Logic and Programming Languages (GaLoP 2013)

// Queen Mary, University of London // London, UK // 18-19 July //

[http://www.gamesemantics.org]

GaLoP is an annual international workshop on game-semantic models for logics and programming languages and their applications. This is an informal workshop that welcomes work in progress, overviews of more extensive work, programmatic or position papers and tutorials as well as contributed papers and invited talks.

GaLoP VIII will be held in London, UK, on 18-19 July 2013.
It will be a stand-alone workshop hosted at the Mile End campus of Queen Mary, University of London.

Contributions are invited on all pertinent subjects, with particular interest in game-semantic and interaction models for logics and programming languages, and applications to program analysis.

Typical but not exclusive areas of interest are:

* Game theory and interaction models in semantics;
* Games-based program analysis and verification;
* Logics for games and games for logics;
* Algorithmic aspects of games;
* Categorical aspects;
* Programming languages and full abstraction;
* Higher-order automata and Petri nets;
* Geometry of interaction;
* Ludics;
* Epistemic game theory;
* Logics of dependence and independence;
* Computational linguistics.

There will be no formal proceedings but the possibility of a special issue in a journal will be considered (the 2005, 2008 and 2011 workshops led to special issues in Annals of Pure and Applied Logic).
