The fifth Federated Logic Conference (FLoC'10), will be 9-21 July, 2010 hosted by the University of Edinburgh. The following seven conferences will participate in FLoC

International Conference on Computer-Aided Verification (CAV). Workshop Chair: Tomas Vojnar
International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP). Workshop Chair: Michael Norrish.
International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP). Workshop Chair: Veronica Dahl.
International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning (IJCAR). Workshop Chair: Aaron Stump.
IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS). Workshop Co-Chairs: Adriana Compagnon and Maribel Fernandez.
International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA). Workshop Chair: Christopher A. Lynch.
International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT). Workshop Chair: Carsten Sinz
The organizers have made arrangements to facilitate the running of pre-, post-, and mid-FLoC workshops. Each workshop will have its own registration, with uniform FLoC workshop fees. It is not necessary to register for FLoC in order to attend workshops. Meeting rooms and accommodations will be reserved by the university in the center of Edinburgh.

Pre-FLoC workshops: Friday & Saturday, July 9-10
Mid-FLoC workshops: Wednesday & Thursday, July 14-15
Post-FLoC workshops: Tuesday & Wednesday, July 20, 21.
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit proposals for workshops on topics relating logic, broadly understood, applied to computer science. Each workshop proposal must indicate one sponsoring conference among the participating conferences. (It is suggested that prospective workshop organizers contact the relevant conference Workshop Chair before submitting a proposal.) Workshops will have to be financially self-supporting, unless the sponsoring conference accepts financial responsibility. The FLoC Organizing Committee will determine the final list of accepted workshops based on the recommendations from the Workshop Chairs of the sponsoring conferences and subject to the availability of space and facilities.

Proposals should consist of two parts. First, a short scientific justification of the proposed topic, its significance, and the particular benefits of the workshop to the community, as well as a list of previous or related workshops (if relevant). A second, organizational part should include:

contact information of the workshop organizers.
proposed sponsoring conference.
estimate of the audience size.
proposed format and agenda (for example, demo sessions, tutorials, etc.)
potential invited speakers.
procedures for selecting papers and participants.
plans for dissemination, if any (for example, special issues of journals).
duration (which may vary from one day to two days) and preferred period.
special technical or AV needs.
Workshops are strongly encouraged to find external financial support. This will be wholly their responsibility. Modest funding, based upon numbers of registrants, minus FLoC local expenses, will be made available to each workshop.

Proposals are due by September 1, 2009. Organizers will be notified by October 15, 2009. Proposals should be submitted electronically to EasyChair (submission opens on June 18). Clearly indicate at the top of the proposal the relevant conference.
