-----------------------------------------SECOND CALL FOR SUBMISSIONSELEVENTH SYMPOSIUM ON COMPOSITIONAL STRUCTURES (SYCO 11)Palaiseau, France20-21 April, 2023Submission deadline: Monday 6 March 2023https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/events/syco/11/-----------------------------------------The Symposium on Compositional Structures (SYCO) is an interdisciplinary seriesof meetings aiming to support the growing community of researchers interested inthe phenomenon of compositionality, from both applied and abstract perspectives,and in particular where category theory serves as a unifying commonlanguage. Previous SYCO events have been held in Birmingham, Strathclyde,Oxford, Chapman, Leicester, Tallinn, and Como.We welcome submissions from researchers across computer science, mathematics,physics, philosophy, and beyond, with the aim of fostering friendly discussion,disseminating new ideas, and spreading knowledge between fields. Submission isencouraged for both mature research and work in progress, and by bothestablished academics and junior researchers, including students. Submissions iseasy, with no formatting or page restrictions. The meeting does not haveproceedings, so work can be submitted even if it has been submitted or publishedelsewhere. You could submit work-in-progress, or a recently completed paper, oreven a PhD or Masters thesis.While no list of topics could be exhaustive, SYCO welcomes submissions with acompositional focus related to any of the following areas, in particular fromthe perspective of category theory:- logical methods in computer science, including classical and quantum programming, type theory, concurrency, natural language processing and machine learning;- graphical calculi, including string diagrams, Petri nets and reaction networks;- languages and frameworks, including process algebras, proof nets, type theory and game semantics;- abstract algebra and pure category theory, including monoidal category theory, higher category theory, operads, polygraphs, and relationships to homotopy theory;- quantum algebra, including quantum computation and representation theory;- tools and techniques, including rewriting, formal proofs and proof assistants, and game theory;- industrial applications, including case studies and real-world problem descriptions.IMPORTANT DATES===============All deadlines are 23:59 Anywhere on Earth.Submission deadline: Monday 6 March, 2023Author notification: Sunday 20 March, 2023Symposium dates: Thursday 20 and Friday 21 April 2023SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS=======================Submissions are by OpenReview, via the SYCO 11 submission page:https://openreview.net/group?id=cl.cam.ac.uk/SYCO/2023/SymposiumSubmission is easy, with no format requirements or page restrictions. Themeeting does not have proceedings, so work can be submitted even if it has beensubmitted or published elsewhere. Think creatively: you could submit a recentpaper, or notes on work in progress, or even a recent Masters or PhD thesis.In the event that more good-quality submissions are received than can beaccommodated in the timetable, the programme committee may choose to *defer*some submissions to a future meeting, rather than reject them. Deferredsubmissions can be re-submitted to any future SYCO meeting, where they will notneed peer review, and where they will be prioritised for inclusion in theprogramme. Meetings will be held sufficiently frequently to avoid a backlog ofdeferred papers.If you have a submission which was deferred from a previous SYCO meeting, itwill not automatically be considered for SYCO 11; you still need to submit itagain through OpenReview. When submitting, append the words "DEFERRED FROM SYCOX" to the title of your paper, replacing "X" with the appropriate meetingnumber. There is no need to attach any documents.PROGRAMME COMMITTEE===================Nathanael Arkor, Masaryk University
