Logical and semantic frameworks are formal languages used to represent logics, languages and systems. These frameworks provide
foundations for formal specification of systems and programming languages, supporting tool development and reasoning.
The objective of this workshop is to bring together theoreticians and practitioners to promote new techniques and results, and to
facilitate feedback on the implementation and application of such techniques and results in practice.
Topics of interest to this forum include, but are not limited to:
Automated deduction
Applications of logical and/or semantic frameworks
Computational and logical properties of semantic frameworks
Formal semantics of languages and systems
Implementation of logical and/or semantic frameworks
Lambda and combinatory calculi
Logical aspects of computational complexity
Logical frameworks
Process calculi
Proof theory
Semantic frameworks
Specification languages and meta-languages
Type theory
LSFA 2016 also aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing work in progress, and therefore to provide feedback to authors on their
preliminary research. The proceedings are produced after the meeting, so that authors can incorporate this feedback in the published papers.
LSFA 2016 is in process of proposal to take place on June 25-26 2016 as satellite of FSCD in Porto. Previous editions took place in Natal (2015), Brasília (2014),
São Paulo (2013), Rio de Janeiro (2012), Belo Horizonte (2011), Natal(2010), Brasília (2009), Salvador (2008), Ouro Preto (2007) and Natal (2006).

Call for Papers
Contributions should be written in English and submitted in the form of full papers with a maximum of 16 pages including references or short papers with a maximum of 6 pages including references. Additional technical material can be provided in a clearly marked appendix which will be read by reviewers at their discretion. Contributions must also be unpublished and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere.
The papers should be prepared in LaTeX using ENTCS style. The submission should be in the form of a PDF file uploaded to Easychair:

The workshop pre-proceedings, containing the reviewed extended abstracts, will be handed-out at workshop registration. After the workshop the authors of both full and short papers will be invited to submit full versions of their works for the post-proceedings to be published in ENTCS.
At least one of the authors should register for the conference. Presentations should be in English.
