Aim:
Fixed points play a fundamental role in several areas of computer science,
and the construction and properties of fixed points have been investigated
in many different frameworks. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum
for researchers to present their results to those members of the computer
science community who study or apply the fixed point operation in the
different fields and formalisms.
Topics:
Construction and reasoning about properties of fixed points, categorical,
metric and ordered fixed point models, continuous algebras, relation
algebras, fixed points in process algebras and process calculi, regular
algebra of finitary and infinitary languages, formal power series, tree
automata and tree languages, infinite trees, the mu-calculus and other
programming logics, fixed points in relation to dataflow and circuits,
fixed points and the lambda calculus.
Invited lectures:
A. Arnold (Bordeaux): Boolean mu-calculus and its relations
with model-checking and games
J. W. de Bakker (Amsterdam): Fixed points in metric semantics
Y. N. Moschovakis (Los Angeles/Athens): Fair, non-deterministic
recursion in higher types (tentative)

Paper submission:
Authors are invited to send three copies of an abstract not exceeding three
pages to the PC chair. Electronic submissions in the form of uuencoded
postscript file are encouraged and can be sent to fics@inf.u-szeged.hu.
Submissions are to be received before May 25, 1998. Authors will be notified
of acceptance by June 25, 1998.
Proceedings:
Preliminary proceedings containing the abstracts of the talks will be
available at the meeting. Publication of final proceedings as a special issue
of Theoretical Informatics and Applications depends on the number and quality
of the papers.
The workshop will be organised at the same place as the federated
MFCS'98/CSL'98 conference and care will be taken that participants of the
workshop can attend invited talks of the MFCS and CSL conferences.
No special registration fee is required for participants who also
register for MFCS'98 or CSL'98 and have a presentation at the workshop. Other
workshop participants registered for MFCS'98 or CSL'98 will be requested to
pay a small fee for the preliminary proceedings. Registration only for the
workshop is also possible--expenses for fee, accommodation, and basic
meals are very modest. Registration information can be found
on the MFCS web page at http://www.fi.muni.cz/mfcs98.
