The Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) is an international conglomeration of several mathematical logic
Mathematical logic
Mathematical logic is a subfield of mathematics with close connections to foundations of mathematics, theoretical computer science and philosophical logic. The field includes both the mathematical study of logic and the applications of formal logic to other areas of mathematics...

Academic conference
An academic conference or symposium is a conference for researchers to present and discuss their work. Together with academic or scientific journals, conferences provide an important channel for exchange of information between researchers.-Overview:Conferences are usually composed of various...

s that deal with the intersection of the two fields. FLoC traditionally includes:
  • Logic in Computer Science (LICS)
  • Rewriting Techniques and Applications
    Rewriting Techniques and Applications
    Rewriting Techniques and Applications is an annual international academic conference on the topic of rewriting. It covers all aspects of rewriting, including termination, equational reasoning, theorem proving, higher-order rewriting, unification and the lambda calculus...

    International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning
    International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning is a series of conferences on the topics of automated reasoning, automated deduction, and related fields. It is organized semi-regularly as a merger of other meetings. IJCAR replaces those independent conferences in the years it takes place...

    Conference on Automated Deduction
    The Conference on Automated Deduction is the premier academic conference on automated deduction and related fields. The first CADE was organized in 1974 at the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago. Most CADE meetings have been held in Europe and the USA. However, conferences have been held all...

    Theorem Proving in Higher-Order Logics
    Theorem Proving in Higher-Order Logics is an annual international academic conference on the topic of automated reasoning in higher-order logics. The first TPHOLs was held in Cambridge, UK in 1987, but in the early years was an informal gathering of researchers interested in the HOL system and had...
