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

We are delighted to announce the 37th Conference on the
Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics (MFPS
2021). MFPS 2021 will be hosted by the University of
Salzburg, Austria, and will take place on  August 30 -
September 2, 2021. Due to the pandemic situation, the
conference will take place online. Should the situation
improve and allow some international travel, we will do our
best to organize a small component of the meeting in
Salzburg for those participants who wish to attend the
meeting in person.

MFPS conferences are dedicated to the areas of mathematics,
logic, and computer science that are related to models of
computation in general, and to semantics of programming
languages in particular. This is a forum where researchers
in mathematics and computer science can meet and exchange
ideas. The participation of researchers in neighbouring
areas is strongly encouraged.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
bio-computation; concurrent qualitative and quantitative
distributed systems; constructive mathematics;  domain
theory and categorical models; formal languages; formal
methods; game semantics; lambda calculus; logic;
probabilistic systems; process calculi; programming-language
theory; quantum computation; security; topological models;
type systems; type theory. We also welcome contributions
that address applications of semantics to novel areas such
as complex systems, markets, and networks, for example.

MFPS 2021 is co-located with the 9th Conference on Algebra
and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2021).

PROCEEDINGS

Elsevier ceased publication of ENTCS at the end of 2020.
ENTCS was the traditional publication venue for MFPS.
Negotiations are underway to establish a new arrangement for
MFPS proceedings publication going forward. The new venue
will be announced as soon as arrangements are complete. We
anticipate the formal proceedings of this year’s conference
will be published after the meeting, as has been the
tradition for MFPS for many years. A preliminary proceedings
will be distributed to participants at the meeting. Please
use the old ENTCS style for the submission, as announced on
the webpage.
