==================================================================
Third International Workshop on Recent Advances in Concurrency and
Logic (RADICAL 2023)

Antwerp (Belgium), September 18, 2023
(co-located with CONCUR 2023)

Submission deadline:
*Friday,  30 June 2023*

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

++ SCOPE AND TOPICS
Concurrency and Logics are two of the most active research areas in the
theoretical computer science domain. The literature in these fields is
extensive and provides a plethora of logics and models for reasoning
about intelligent and distributed systems. More recently, the interplay
of concurrency and logic with areas such as:

1. design, verification, synthesis for concurrent systems, both qualitative
and quantitative;
2. strategic reasoning for distributed and multi-agent systems;
3. analysis and validation techniques for concurrent and distributed 
programs,
such as advanced type systems and separation logics;

has received much attention, as witnessed by recent editions of AI
conferences. All these examples share the challenge of developing novel
theories and tools for automated reasoning that take into account the
behavior of concurrent and multi-agent entities.

The workshop aims to bring together researchers working on different aspects
of logic and concurrency in AI, multi-agent systems, and computer science,
both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. Besides, it aims to
promote research on Foundation of AI in other research communities that are
traditionally Theoretical Computer Science-oriented.

The topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to, the
following:
Concurrency Theory;
Programming languages and semantics;
Formal models for communication-based, concurrent and distributed systems;
Logics in concurrency;
Logics for verification of (concurrent) multi-agent systems;
Logical foundations of decision theory for multi-agent systems;
Knowledge representation;
Programming languages;

++ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submitted contributions should not exceed 2 pages (not including references)
using the EasyChair format. Submitted papers should be formatted in PDF and
uploaded to

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=radical2023

We invite submissions describing talk proposals on the intersection of
logic and concurrency. A submission to RADICAL would typically fall within
one of the following categories:

reports of an ongoing work and/or preliminary results;
summaries of an already published paper (or series of papers);
overviews of (recent) PhD theses;
descriptions of research projects and consortia;
manifestos, calls to action, personal views on current and future 
challenges;
overviews of interesting yet underrepresented problems.

This list is by no means exhaustive but merely indicative.

Submissions based on already published works should include explicit 
references/links as appropriate.
Reviewers may read such prior published works, but are not obliged to do so.

Submissions will be judged by the program committee on the basis of 
significance, relevance, and potential of an engaging, compelling talk 
at the workshop.

Submission from PC members is encouraged.

It is understood that for each accepted submission one of the co-authors 
will attend the workshop and give the talk.

No Proceedings:
RADICAL will be an informal venue, oriented to interaction, so there 
will be no formal proceedings.

++ IMPORTANT DATES
** Submission deadline: 30 June 2023.
** Notification to authors: 28 July 2023.
** Workshop: 18th September 2023, in Antwerp (Belgium).
