</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>BACKGROUND:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The International Conference on Mathematics of Program Construction</div>
<div>(MPC) aims to promote the development of mathematical principles and</div>
<div>techniques that are demonstrably practical and effective in the</div>
<div>process of constructing computer programs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>MPC 2022 will be held in Tbilisi, Georgia, on the 26th-28th September</div>
<div>2022, and is co-located with the <a href="http://viam.science.tsu.ge/clas2022/" title="http://viam.science.tsu.ge/clas2022/">
Computational Logic Autumn Summit</a> (CLAS'22).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Previous conferences were held in Porto, Portugal (2019); </div>
<div>Königswinter, Germany (2015); Madrid, Spain (2012); </div>
<div>Québec City, Canada (2010); Marseille, France (2008);</div>
<div>Kuressaare, Estonia (2006); Stirling, UK (2004); Dagstuhl, Germany (2002);</div>
<div>Ponte de Lima, Portugal (2000); Marstrand, Sweden (1998); Kloster Irsee,</div>
<div>Germany (1995); Oxford, UK (1992); Twente, The Netherlands (1989).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>SCOPE:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>MPC seeks original papers on mathematical methods and tools put to use</div>
<div>in program construction. Topics of interest range from algorithmics to</div>
<div>support for program construction in programming languages and systems.</div>
<div>Typical areas include type systems, program analysis and transformation,</div>
<div>programming language semantics, security, and program logics. The notion</div>
<div>of a 'program' is interpreted broadly, ranging from algorithms to hardware.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Theoretical contributions are welcome, provided that their relevance</div>
<div>to program construction is clear. Reports on applications are welcome,</div>
<div>provided that their mathematical basis is evident. We also encourage</div>
<div>the submission of 'programming pearls' that present elegant and</div>
<div>instructive examples of the mathematics of program construction.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>SUBMISSION:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Submission is in two stages. Abstracts (plain text, maximum 250 words)</div>
<div>must be submitted by 10th April 2022. Full papers (pdf, formatted using</div>
<div>the llncs.sty style file for LaTex) must be submitted by 17th April 2022.</div>
<div>There is no prescribed page limit, but authors should strive for brevity.</div>
<div>Both abstracts and papers will be submitted using EasyChair.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Papers must present previously unpublished work, and not be submitted</div>
<div>concurrently to any other publication venue. Submissions will be</div>
<div>evaluated by the program committee according to their relevance,</div>
<div>correctness, significance, originality, and clarity. Each submission</div>
<div>should explain its contributions in both general and technical terms,</div>
<div>clearly identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is</div>
<div>significant, and comparing it with previous work. Accepted papers must</div>
<div>be presented in person at the conference by one of the authors.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The proceedings of MPC 2022 will be published in the Lecture Notes</div>
<div>in Computer Science (LNCS) series, as with all previous instances</div>
<div>of the conference. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to</div>
<div>transfer copyright to Springer for this purpose.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After the conference, authors of the best papers from MPC 2022 </div>
<div>will be invited to submit revised versions to a special</div>
<div>issue of Science of Computer Programming (SCP).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For any queries about submission please contact the program chair,</div>
<div>Ekaterina Komendantskaya <ek19@hw.ac.uk> or </div>
<div>publicity chair Matthew Daggitt <M.Daggitt@hw.ac.uk></div>

<div>CONFERENCE VENUE:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The conference will be held at the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State</div>
<div>University (TSU), which is the oldest and largest educational and </div>
<div>research institution not only in Georgia, but also in the South Caucasus. </div>
<div>The venue is located in the city center, with many hotels, pubs, </div>
<div>restaurants, parks, other attractions (zoo, theaters, cinemas, opera, </div>
<div>etc.) within walking distance.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Tbilisi International Airport is 15 km away from the city and offers</div>
<div>direct connections to more than 30 destinations in Europe, Asia, and the </div>
<div>Middle East. From the airport, the city can be reached by bus or taxi. </div>
<div>Another option is to fly to Kutaisi in the west of Georgia, where low </div>
<div>budget air companies (such as WizzAir) are operating. A shuttle bus from</div>
<div>the Kutaisi airport to Tbilisi takes about 3 hours.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Georgia allows visa-free entry for nearly 100 countries around the world.</div>
