HIGHLIGHTS 2018: 6th annual conference on Highlights of LOGIC, GAMES, and AUTOMATA

+ Submission deadline: 13 JUNE, 5pm GMT
+ Notification: 22 JUNE

SATELLITE EVENTS:
+ ErichFest: Symposium to Celebrate Erich Grädel’s 60th Birthday, 17 September
+ Workshop on the Theory of Regular Cost Functions and Beyond, 21 September (afternoon)

================================================

HIGHLIGHTS 2018 is the 6th conference on Highlights of Logic, Games, and Automata that aims to integrate the diverse research community working in the areas of Logic and Finite Model Theory, Automata Theory, and Games for Logic and Verification.  Individual papers are dispersed across many conferences, which makes them challenging to follow. A visit to the annual Highlights conference offers a wide picture of the latest research in the field and a chance to meet and interact with most of the members of the research community.  We encourage you to present your best recent work at Highlights, whether already published elsewhere or not.

The conference is short (from 19 September to the mid-day on 21 September) and it is preceded by the Highlights Tutorial Day (18 September).  The participation costs are modest and Berlin is easy to reach.


The Contributed Presentations will be around ten minutes long.  All speakers will be also invited to contribute to a Poster Session, which will open new ways of interaction at the conference for the whole Highlights community.

Data entirely hand-typed, one call for papers at a time. There is no scraper behind any of this: I read the announcement and type the dates in, in the gaps between other work, and with the hope it is useful to others. Organisers then move deadlines without telling anyone, calls get edited in place, and now and then the typing is simply wrong. Treat this as a well-meaning notebook rather than an authority, and check the conference’s own page before you submit anything you care about.
