Relational and Algebraic Methods in Computer Science (RAMICS 2027)
Wits Rural Facility, Hoedspruit, South Africa, August 16-20, 2027
Since 1994, the RAMiCS conference series has served as the primary forum for research on relation algebras, Kleene algebras, and related algebraic structures. These frameworks play a central role as conceptual and methodological tools in computer science and beyond.
On the theoretical side, RAMiCS covers topics such as semigroups, residuated lattices, semirings, Kleene algebras, relation algebras, quantales, and other related structures. The conference explores their connections with program logics and other logical systems, as well as their roles in automata theory, concurrency, formal languages, games, networks, and programming languages. It also welcomes contributions on the development of algebraic, algorithmic, categorical, coalgebraic, and proof-theoretic methods, including formalisation efforts using theorem provers.
Applications of these formalisms span a wide range of domains, including tools and techniques for program specification, verification, and correctness; qualitative and quantitative models of computing systems; algorithm design; automated reasoning; network protocol analysis; optimisation; control; and even social choice theory.
To be announced.
RAMICS 2027 will take place at the Wits Rural Facility outside Hoedspruit, South Africa from 15 to 20 August 2027. Accommodation and meals for all delegates will be at the conference facility. The registration fee will be advised in 2027.
The nearest international airport is OR Tambo International in Johannesburg (JNB). From there you can catch local flights to Hoedspruit (HDS) or Kruger Mpumalanga (MQP). Shuttles are available from HDS and MQP to the conference venue. You can also rent a car from JNB, or catch a shuttle (approximately 6 hours drive).
More detailed information will be posted nearer the time of the conference.
RAMiCS has been taking place since 1994, first under the acronym of RelMiCS ("Relational Methods in Computer Science") and, after uniting with the AKA conferences ("Applications of Kleene Algebra") as RAMiCS since 2009. For more information, see https://ramics-conf.github.io/.
