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

The Implicit Complexity Workshop (ICC'00)
is affiliated to LICS 2000 (http://lics.cs.bell-labs.com/).
ICC'00 will be held at the conference center of the University
of California Santa Barbara, which is situated on the beaches of the
pacific ocean (http://www.ucsb.edu/)


*TOPICS OF INTEREST

The synergy between Logic, Computational Complexity
and Programming Language Theory has gained
importance and vigor in recent years, cutting across areas such as
Proof Theory, Computation Theory, Applicative
Programming, and Philosophical Logic.
Several machine-independent approaches to computational complexity
have been developed, which characterize complexity
classes by conceptual measures borrowed primarily from mathematical
logic.
Collectively these approaches might be dubbed
IMPLICIT COMPUTATIONAL COMPLEXITY.

Practically, implicit computational complexity provides framework
for a streamlined incorporation of computational complexity into
areas such as formal methods in software development,
programming language theory.
However, advances in implicit computational complexity
have focused to date mostly on  theoretical foundations.
So, in addition to research reports on advances in implicit
computational complexity,
bridging the gap between Computational Complexity and
the Programming Language Theory is therefore of particular
interest to this workshop's organizers.

For this, the workshop will try to focus on automatic complexity
analysis with some software demonstrations,
on reasoning on algorithms,
and on implementing ICC'ideas in programming language design.


* PREVIOUS WORKSHOPS
A workshop on Logic and Computational Complexity was organized in
Indianapolis, by D. Leivant, in October 1994
with proceedings published as LNCS #960, and
selected papers in two special issues of Information and Computation.
A workshop on Implicit Computational Complexity in Programming
Languages,
 in Sepember 1998, organized by  R. Constable and D. Leivant
was affiliated with ICFP'98 in Baltimore.
Selected papers are to be published in the Journal of Functional
Programming
Finally, the first workshop on Implicit Computational Complexity,
organized by A. Dawar and D. Leivant, was affiliated with LICS'99, in
Trento.
Selected papers will be published in Information and Computation.


* FORMAT.
 The program will consist of invited talks and sessions of contributed
 papers, and software demonstrations.


*PAPER SUBMISSION.

The results must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere.
Survey papers that present some  unified perspectives are welcome.
One author of each accepted paper is expected to present the paper at
the meeting.  Proposed contributions should be submitted as extended
abstracts,  no more than 10 pages long in 11-point font.
It must be in English and provide sufficient detail to allow the program

committee to assess the merits of the paper. It should begin with a
succinct statement of the issues, a summary of  the main results, and
an explanation of their significance and relevance to the
workshop. Detailed proofs, examples, programs, and other technical
information may be included in the form of appendices.

All submissions must be done electronically.
Please email your submission to Jean-Yves.Marion@loria.fr,
with the phrase "ICC submission" as the message subject.
Please email separately a cover letter,
stating the paper's title, one corresponding author with complete
contact information (address, email, phone, fax), and names and
affiliation of other authors, if any.
