GENERAL INFORMATION:

For more than two decades, the RAMiCS conferences series has been the

similar algebraic formalisms, and their applications as conceptual and
methodological tools in computer science and beyond.

INVITED SPEAKERS:

 organisers as soon as possible, we might be able to provide financial
 help for one or two of them.

SPECIAL SESSION ON MECHANISED REASONING:

We will organise a special session during Thursday afternoon, 18 of
May, on mechanised reasoning for relational and algebraic methods.

If you are willing to give a talk during this session, please send us
a title and a short abstract by April 16th.

Expected topics include
- mathematical components for relation algebraic methods
  in proof assistants such as Agda, Coq or Isabelle, or tools such
  more specific tools such as RelView
- support for automated reasoning with such methods
- experiences in using any of these tools and components
