5 - 8 September 2021, Logic @ DGPhil, Online

Date: 5 - 8 September 2021
Location: Online
Deadline: Sunday 1 December 2019

There will be a section on Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics at the XXVth Congress of the German Society for Philosophy (DGPhil), "The True, the Good, and the Beautiful".

Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic it was impossible to hold our congress as planned (6th – 9th September 2020). The congress was therefore postponed by one year, and all events will be held online.

Any papers related to philosophical logic (especially non-classical logic) and philosophy of mathematics are welcome. Abstracts of no more than 1,000 words should be prepared for blind review and are to be submitted via the website. The time slots for section talks will be 35 minutes, including discussion.

For more information, see https://dgphil2020.fau.de/en/.

13 - 18 September 2020, 5th Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Theorem Proving (AITP 2020), Aussois, France or Virtual

Date: 13 - 18 September 2020
Location: Aussois, France or Virtual
Deadline: Tuesday 3 December 2019

Large-scale semantic processing and strong computer assistance of mathematics and science is our inevitable future. New combinations of AI and reasoning methods and tools deployed over large mathematical and scientific corpora will be instrumental to this task. The AITP conference is the forum for discussing how to get there as soon as possible, and the force driving the progress towards that.

There will be several focused sessions on AI for ATP, ITP and mathematics, Formal Abstracts, linguistic processing of mathematics/science, modern AI and big-data methods, and several sessions with contributed talks. The focused sessions will be based on invited talks and discussion oriented.

Due to the Coronavirus travel bans, the conference has been moved to September 13-18, 2020. The next evaluation will be done in mid-August. A combination of a real-world meeting with some online talks is an option.

The Program Committee solicits contributed talks. Selection of those will be based on extended abstracts/short papers of 2 pages formatted with easychair.cls. Submission is via EasyChair. We will consider an open call for post-proceedings in an established series of conference proceedings (LIPIcs, EPiC, JMLR) or a journal (AICom, JAR, JAIR).

9 December 2019, Symposium in Honour of Julia Robinson's Centenary, Berkeley CA, U.S.A.

Date: Monday 9 December 2019
Location: Berkeley CA, U.S.A.

A Symposium on the occasion of Julia Robinson's 100th birthday will be held on Monday December 9, 2019 at MSRI. Julia Robinson (1919-1985) was a leading mathematical logician of the twentieth century, and notably a first in many ways, including the first woman president of the American Mathematical Society and the first woman mathematician elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences. Her most famous work, alongside others including Martin Davis and Hilary Putnam, led to Yuri Matijasevich's solution in the negative of Hilbert's Tenth Problem, showing that there is no general algorithmic solution for Diophantine equations. She contributed in other topics as well. Her 1948 thesis linked the undecidability of the field of rational numbers to Godel?s proof of undecidability of the ring of integers.

Confirmed participants in this day-long celebration of her work and of current mathematics insprired by her research include: Lenore Blum, who will give a public lecture, Lou van den Dries, Martin Davis, Kirsten Eisentrager, and (provisionally yes) Yuri Matijasevich.

16 - 17 April 2020, Workshop "Alternative Approaches to Scientific Realism", cancelled

Date: 16 - 17 April 2020
Location: Munich, Germany
Deadline: Sunday 15 December 2019

This conference has been cancelled due to the Corona crisis.

There has been a recent move in philosophy of science towards views that in some sense reject the strict dichotomy between realism and anti-realism, or otherwise situate themselves between these two extremes. These include varieties of structuralism, perspectivalism, and pluralism/relativism, and have been applied across various scientific domains, including physics, mathematics, biology, cognitive science, and computer science. This conference will bring together representatives of each of these viewpoints, in order to compare the respective progress made by each approach, and to develop a shared foundation for the future development of alternatives to traditional scientific realism and anti-realism.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers: James Ladyman (Bristol), Michela Massimi, (Edinburgh) and Martin Kusch (Vienna).

Up to three additional speaking slots are reserved for early career researchers, to be filled on a competitive basis. We welcome submission of 500 word abstracts on any topic related to the themes of the conference. Abstracts should be suitably blinded, and submitted to Easychair.

6 - 9 April 2020, 3rd International Conference on Logic and Argumentation (CLAR 2020), to be rescheduled

Date: 6 - 9 April 2020
Location: Hangzhou, China
Deadline: Sunday 15 December 2019

Note: Due to the current situation of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, it is believed that ZJULogAI cannot take place as scheduled. The conference and all its sub-events, including CLAR 2020, will be rescheduled (most likely to Q3 or Q4 2020).

CLAR 2020 will be held in Hangzhou, as part of the Zhejiang Logic for AI Summit (ZJULogAI 2020). With a special focus on 'methods and tools for explainable AI', a core objective of ZJULogAI is to present the latest developments and progress made on the crucial question of how to make AI more transparent, trustworthy and accountable, both in China as well as in the rest of the world. All participants to CLAR 2020 have access to all other events of ZJULogAI as well.

CLAR 2020 conference highlights recent advances in the two fields of logic and argumentation and promotes communication between researchers in logic and argumentation within and outside China.

CLAR 2020 invites interdisciplinary contributions from logic, artificial intelligence, philosophy, computer science, linguistics, law, and other areas studying logic and formal argumentation. We invite two types of submissions: full papers (between 8 and 20 pages) describing original and unpublished work and extended abstracts (max 5 pages) of preliminary original work or extended abstracts of already published work, from either the field of logic or the field of formal argumentation.

Proceedings with accepted submissions will be available during the conference, and extended versions will be published after the conference in special issues of the Journal of Logic and Computation and the Journal of Applied Logics.

15 - 19 December 2019, The 4th Advanced School in Computer Science and Engineering: The Mathematics of Quantum Computation, Jerusalem, Israel

Date: 15 - 19 December 2019
Location: Jerusalem, Israel

On 15-19 December 2019, we will be organizing a math-oriented quantum computation school in the IIAS at the Hebrew university. No prior knowledge on quantum will be assumed. The school will introduce TCS and math students and faculty, who are interested in the more mathematical side of the area, to the beautiful and fascinating mathematical open questions in quantum computation, starting from scratch. We hope to reach a point where participants gain initial tools and basic perspective to start working in this area.

To achieve this, we will have several mini-courses, each of two or three hours, about central topics in the area. These will include quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, quantum supremacy, delegation and verification, interactive proofs, cryptography, and Hamiltonian complexity. We will emphasize concepts, open questions, and links to mathematics. We will have daily TA sessions with hands-on exercises, to allow for a serious process of learning.

18 - 19 December 2019, "Formalization of Proofs, Formalisation of Programs", Paris, France

Date: 18 - 19 December 2019
Location: Paris, France

The workshop intends to reconsider the relations or lack thereof between Computer science and mathematics. Whereas, originally, mathematics was used to provide a disciplinary identity to computing, today, this is clearly no longer the case, and this makes urgent to rethink the possible relations between the two fields. The workshop aim to do it by studying notions and practices of formalization and computation in both contexts.

The workshop results from a collaboration between two ANR research projects: the FFIUM Project and the PROGRAMme project.

22 - 24 February 2020, ICAART Session "Natural Language Processing in Artificial Intelligence" (NLPinAI 2020), Valletta, Malta

Date & Time: 22 - 24 February 2020, 08:00-21:00
Location: Valletta, Malta
Target audience: researchers
Deadline: Thursday 19 December 2019

Computational and technological developments that incorporate natural language are proliferating. Adequate coverage encounters difficult problems related to partiality, underspecification, and context-dependency, which are signature features of information in nature and natural languages. Furthermore, agents (humans or computational systems) are information conveyors, interpreters, or participate as components of informational content. Generally, language processing depends on agents' knowledge, reasoning, perspectives, and interactions.

This ICAART 2020 Special Session covers theoretical work, applications, approaches, and techniques for computational models of information and its presentation by language (artificial, human, or natural in other ways). The goal is to promote intelligent natural language processing and related models of thought, mental states, reasoning, and other cognitive processes.

We invite contributions relevant to the session topics.
All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, and be made available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. We expect a post-conference, post-proceedings Special Issue with extended publications based on selected papers presented at NLPinAI 2020.

15 - 19 December 2019, The 4th Advanced School in Computer Science and Engineering: The Mathematics of Quantum Computation, Jerusalem, Israel

Date: 15 - 19 December 2019
Location: Jerusalem, Israel

On 15-19 December 2019, we will be organizing a math-oriented quantum computation school in the IIAS at the Hebrew university. No prior knowledge on quantum will be assumed. The school will introduce TCS and math students and faculty, who are interested in the more mathematical side of the area, to the beautiful and fascinating mathematical open questions in quantum computation, starting from scratch. We hope to reach a point where participants gain initial tools and basic perspective to start working in this area.

To achieve this, we will have several mini-courses, each of two or three hours, about central topics in the area. These will include quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, quantum supremacy, delegation and verification, interactive proofs, cryptography, and Hamiltonian complexity. We will emphasize concepts, open questions, and links to mathematics. We will have daily TA sessions with hands-on exercises, to allow for a serious process of learning.

11 - 15 May 2020, Twelfth NASA Formal Methods Symposium (NFM 2020), Virtual

Date: 11 - 15 May 2020
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Tuesday 24 December 2019

The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission-critical and safety-critical systems at NASA and the aerospace industry requires advanced techniques that address their specification, design, verification, validation, and certification requirements. The NASA Formal Methods Symposium is a forum to foster collaboration between theoreticians and practitioners from NASA, academia, and industry, with the goal of identifying challenges and providing solutions towards achieving assurance for such critical systems.

New developments and emerging applications like autonomous on-board Software for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), UAS Traffic Management (UTM), advanced separation assurance algorithms for aircraft, and the need for system-wide fault detection, diagnosis, and prognostics provide new challenges for system specification, development, and verification approaches. The focus of these symposiums are on formal techniques and other approaches for software assurance, including their theory, current capabilities and limitations, as well as their potential application to aerospace, robotics, and other NASA-relevant safety-critical systems during all stages of the software life-cycle.

Due to concerns about COVID-19, NFM2020 will shift to a virtual symposium.

We encourage submissions on cross-cutting approaches that bring together formal methods and techniques from other domains such as probabilistic reasoning, machine learning, control theory, robotics, and quantum computing among others.

7 - 9 April 2020, 5th Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL 2020), to be rescheduled

Date: 7 - 9 April 2020
Location: Hangzhou, China
Deadline: Saturday 28 December 2019

Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL) is an event-series initiated by a group of Asian logicians, and in 2012 the first installment took place at the JAIST in Japan. It is devoted to promote awareness, understanding, and collaborations among researchers in philosophical logic and related fields. The workshop emphasizes the interplay of philosophical ideas and formal theories. Topics of interest include non-classical logics, philosophical logics, algebraic logics, and their applications in computer science, cognitive science, and social sciences.

The AWPL 2020 workshop is an event in the Zhejiang Logic for AI Summit. All AWPL participants are invited to attend other events as well.

Due to the current situation of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, it is believed that ZJULogAI cannot take place as scheduled. The conference and all its sub-events, including AWPL 2020, will be rescheduled (most likely to Q3 or Q4 2020).

All submissions should present original works not previously published. Submissions should be typeset in English, using the LNCS template. be prepared as a PDF file with at most 12 pages (including reference list, appendixes, acknowledgements, etc.), and be sent to the workshop electronically via EasyChair. It is assumed that, once a submission is accepted, at least one of its authors will attend the workshop and present the accepted work. After the workshop, selected submissions will be invited to revise and submit to a post conference proceedings, to be published in the 'Logic in Asia' series.
