CfP topical collection of Synthese on "Virtue Theory of Mathematical Practices"

Deadline: Tuesday 1 October 2019

Virtue theory has an illustrious history as one of the most prominent philosophical traditions, and in the wake of the recent renewed focus on human practices virtue theory once again provides powerful frameworks, tools and insights. Work in such diverse fields as ethics, the philosophy of science, epistemology, philosophy of law, political theory, aesthetics, and argumentation theory shows that virtue theory permits normative discourse without imposing overly rigid criteria. Within the philosophy of mathematics, and mathematics itself, attention to virtues has a variety of sources: theoretical virtues have been put forward both to analyse the practice of proof and to justify axioms, and ethical virtues have been offered as a basis for understanding the social dimensions of mathematical practice. Indeed, some authors have advocated virtue epistemology as the correct epistemology for mathematics (and perhaps even as the basis for progress in the metaphysics of mathematics). In this topical collection we aim to consolidate and encourage this trend in the philosophy of mathematics.

Guest Editors: Andrew Aberdein, Colin Jakob Rittberg, Fenner Stanley Tanswell

We invite contributions which study mathematics and mathematical practices from a virtue perspective. We encourage, amongst others, submissions that
 - engage with the social dimensions of mathematics in virtue terms;
 - address the application of virtue epistemology to mathematics; - investigate the ethical considerations of mathematical practice in a virtue framework;
  - discuss specific virtues or vices of mathematics (or mathematicians);
 - explore historical usage of virtue terminology in mathematical contexts;
 - or provide accounts in terms of virtue of the objects of mathematical enquiry, such as theorems, proofs, or definitions.

6 - 8 January 2020, 16th International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics (ISAIM 2020), Fort Lauderdale FL, U.S.A.

Date: 6 - 8 January 2020
Location: Fort Lauderdale FL, U.S.A.
Deadline: Friday 4 October 2019

The International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics (ISAIM), is a biennial meeting that fosters interactions between mathematics, theoretical computer science, and artificial intelligence. This will be the sixteenth Symposium in the series, sponsored by Florida Atlantic University and the Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence. Traditionally, the Symposium attracts participants from a variety of disciplines, thereby providing a unique forum for scientific exchange. The three-day Symposium includes invited speakers, presentations of technical papers, and special topic sessions.

We seek submissions of recent results with a particular emphasis on the foundations of AI and mathematical methods used in AI. Papers describing applications are also encouraged, but the focus should be on principled lessons learned from the development of the application. Work that will have been published as of January 2020 should not be submitted to ISAIM unless it introduces a significant addition to the previously published work. However, the ISAIM web site proceedings are not archival, so papers submitted to ISAIM can be under review elsewhere at the time of submission and can be submitted elsewhere after ISAIM.

7 - 8 October 2019, Workshop on Cross-Linguistics Semantics of Reciprocals, Utrecht, The Netherlands

Date: 7 - 8 October 2019
Location: Utrecht, The Netherlands

The last two decades have seen extensive research on the syntax and distribution of reciprocal morphemes across languages. Typological linguists and theoretical syntacticians have revealed fascinating phenomena of reciprocity, which have substantially increased our knowledge of the ways languages encode reciprocal concepts. Quite independently, there have been some important advances in the formal semantic analysis of reciprocals in English. Yet, at present there is no clear understanding of the cross-linguistic semantics of reciprocals, or even the extent to which such a general semantics is motivated. The workshop will bring together formal semanticists and experts of reciprocity phenomena, with the goal of addressing some of the major questions in this area.

Keynote speakers are Mary Dalrymple (Oxford University) and Martin Haspelmath (MPI-SHH Jena & Leipzig University).

20 - 21 January 2020, Conference on Digital Curation Technologies (Qurator 2020), Berlin, Germany

Date: 20 - 21 January 2020
Location: Berlin, Germany
Deadline: Monday 14 October 2019

Digital curation is a complex time and knowledge intensive process, in which knowledge workers create new content artifacts and knowledge insights from heterogeneous sources (content, data, knowledge). The work required for this includes, e.g., selecting, summarizing, scheduling, translating, localising, structuring, condensing, enriching, visualizing and explaining the various contents, from sources such as online newspapers, news portals, social media, linked data, business information systems, IoT data streams etc. AI, in particular from the field of language and semantic knowledge technologies, are used to support these tasks and thereby accelerate and qualitatively improve them.

The conference provides a forum on the use of digital curation technologies in application domains for, e.g., media, journalism, logistics, cultural heritage, health care and life sciences, energy, industry. Of particular relevance are papers that demonstrate the applied use of digital curation technologies and tools in domain-specific use cases and that bridge traditional boundaries between disciplines such as Artificial Intelligence and Semantic Web, data analytics and machine learning, information/content and knowledge management systems, information retrieval, knowledge discovery, and computational linguistics.

The following types of submissions are invited:
- Regular papers (10-15 pages), including Research papers (original research on a topic of interest) and In-use papers (new applications and tool descriptions addressing a topic of interest).
- Short papers: (5-9 pages), including Use Case and Position papers (use case descriptions and application notes, discovery notes, using digital curation applications and tools), Poster and Software demo papers (presenting software and tools in action), and Industry application papers (reporting on industrial applications addressing a topic of interest)
- Student papers: (5-15 pages) e.g. describing results from bachelor/master theses or student projects; the best student paper will receive an award.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Management of Digitally Curated and Semantically Expressive Information and Knowledge
- AI-based / Semantic Large Scale and Complex Information and Content Analysis
- Applications, Evaluations, and Experiences of applying digital curation technologies, standards, and tools.

29 November 2019, 5th Workshop on Connexive Logics, Bochum, Germany

Date: Friday 29 November 2019
Location: Bochum, Germany
Deadline: Tuesday 15 October 2019

Systems of connexive logic have been motivated by considerations on a content connection between the antecedent and succedent of valid implications and by applications that range from Aristotle's syllogistic to Categorial Grammar and the study of causal implications. After four workshops on connexive logics in Istanbul, Raesfeld Castle, Kyoto and Bochum, a fifth workshop on connexive logics will take place in Bochum (Germany) on the 29th of November, 2019.

The fifth workshop aims at discussing directions for future research in connexive logics. Special focus will be given on historical aspects as well as connections to conditional logics. The workshop will be collocated with a workshop on the Logic of Paradox, from the 25th to 27th, and a workshop on FDE-based modal logic on the 28th. Keynote speakers: Vincenzo Crupi, Andrea Iacona, Spencer Johnston and Marko Malink.

Any papers related to connexive logics are welcome. Submissions of extended abstracts (up to five pages) should be sent to both organizers as a pdf file. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Historical considerations of the notion of connexivity;
- Discussions on the notion of connexive logics;
- Examinations of various systems of connexive logics;
- Relations between connexive logics and other nonclassical logics, such as conditional logics;
- Philosophical implications of connexive logics;
- Discussions on the relation between Experimental philosophy and connexivity.

23 - 25 October 2019, 16th International Conference on Formal Aspects of Component Software (FACS 2019), Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Date: 23 - 25 October 2019
Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Component-based software development proposes sound engineering principles and techniques to cope with the complexity of present-day software systems. However, many challenging conceptual and technological issues remain in component-based software development theory and practice. Furthermore, the advent of service-oriented and cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, and the Internet of Things has brought to the fore new dimensions, such as quality of service and robustness to withstand faults, which require revisiting established concepts and developing new ones.

FACS 2019 is concerned with how formal methods can be applied to component-based software and system development. Formal methods have provided foundations for component-based software through research on mathematical models for components, composition and adaptation, and rigorous approaches to verification, deployment, testing, and certification.

FACS 2019 is concerned with how formal methods can be applied to component-based software and system development. Formal methods have provided foundations for component-based software through research on mathematical models for components, composition and adaptation, and rigorous approaches to verification, deployment, testing, and certification.

26 - 27 October 2019, The Fourteenth International Workshop on Ontology Matching (OM-2019), Auckland, New Zealand

Date: 26 - 27 October 2019
Location: Auckland, New Zealand
Deadline: Friday 28 June 2019

Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, as well as a useful technique in some classical data integration tasks dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes ontologies as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of correspondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies. These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merging, data interlinking, query answering or process mapping.

The workshop has three goals: 1. To bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements. 2. To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matching and instance matching (link discovery) approaches through the OAEI 2019 campaign. 3. To examine new uses, similarities and differences from database schema matching, which has received decades of attention but is just beginning to transition to mainstream tools.

28 - 31 October 2019, 22nd International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA 2019), Torino, Italy

Date: 28 - 31 October 2019
Location: Torino, Italy
Deadline: Sunday 30 June 2019

Software systems are becoming more intelligent in the kind of functionality they offer users. At the same time, systems are becoming more decentralized, with components that represent autonomous entities who must communicate among themselves to achieve their goals. Examples of such systems range from healthcare and emergency relief and disaster management to e-business and smarts grids. A multiagent worldview is crucial to properly conceptualizing, building, and governing such systems. It offers abstractions such as intelligent agent, protocol, norm, organization, trust, incentive, and so on, and is rooted in solid computational and software engineering foundations. As a large but still growing research field of Computer Science, multiagent systems today remain a unique enabler of interdisciplinary research.

29 - 30 October 2019, 5th International Conference on the History and Philosophy of Computing (HaPoC 2019), Bergamo, Italy

Date: 29 - 30 October 2019
Location: Bergamo, Italy
Deadline: Tuesday 30 April 2019

Today more than ever computers have taken center stage in our lives: science, economy, politics, art, there is no single human endeavour that has been left unaffected by Information Technologies. People connected to the Internet can enjoy an unprecedented amount of information and computing power at their disposal, but more and more negative side effects of a widespread use of computers are brought to our attention: automation bias, echo chambers, shortened attention spans, job displacement, election hacking are just a few examples. The need to conduct a systematic and well-informed discussion in a context ranging from theoretical and mathematical problems to labour and resource exploitation issues is evident.

HaPoC's appeal to historical and philosophical reflection aims at addressing this shortcoming. We aim to bring together researchers exploring the various aspects of computation: historians, philosophers, computer scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, designers, manufacturers, practitioners, artists, logicians, mathematicians, each with their own experience and expertise, all part of a society impacted by computation, and all necessary to the creation of a better discourse.

12 - 17 July 2020, 9th North American Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (NASSLLI 2020), Waltham MA, U.S.A.

Date: 12 - 17 July 2020
Location: Waltham MA, U.S.A.
Deadline: Thursday 31 October 2019

NASSLLI 2020 will consist of a series of courses and workshops, most running daily from Monday July 13 - Friday July 17. In addition, there will be intensive mini-courses the day prior to the start of courses (Sunday July 12). The summer school is aimed at graduate students and advanced undergraduates in the fields of Linguistics, Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Logic, Philosophy, AI, and other related areas. NASSLLI brings these disciplines together with the goal of producing excellence in the study of how minds and machines represent, communicate, manipulate and reason with information. The 2020 NASSLLI will also have a theme - Formal and Computational Pragmatics and Models of Dialogue.

We invite proposals for courses and workshops that address topics of relevance to NASSLLI's central goal. We particularly encourage submissions which address the theme (Formal and Computational Pragmatics and Models of Dialogue), and those representing cross-disciplinary approaches, especially courses showing the applicability of computational methods to theoretical work, and the use of theoretical work in practical applications. Courses involving a hands-on component (e.g., actual experience with NLP tools, coding, or machine learning algorithms) will be very welcome.

Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) during the week of the summer school. Sunday mini-courses will run for 3 to 5 hours. Courses and workshops should aim to be accessible to an interdisciplinary, graduate level audience. Workshop schedules are identical to course schedules, but usually consist of a series of presentations by different researchers; they may also include panel discussions.

31 October - 2 November 2019, 30th Novembertagung on the History and Philosophy of Mathematics, Strasbourg, France

Date: 31 October - 2 November 2019
Location: Strasbourg, France
Deadline: Wednesday 15 May 2019

The Novembertagung on the History and Philosophy of Mathematics is an annual international conference aimed at PhD and postdoctoral students (young scholars) in the history and philosophy of mathematics.

Mathematical knowledge is commonly thought of as being essentially universal: its truths are eternal and incontrovertible, its propositions understandable and agreeable by all, independent of linguistic, cultural, ethnic or religious backgrounds. However, global knowledge, as mathematics seems to be, is always produced locally. As such, it hinges upon collectively shared ways of practicing, writing, and communicating mathematics. This year's Novembertagung invites participants to reflect on the theme 'Mathematical Cultures, Values, & Norms'. The invited speakers are June Barrow-Green (Open University) and Roy Wagner (ETH Zurich).
