12 December 2014, Cool Logic, Tingxiang Zou
Speaker: Tingxiang ZouTitle: An Invitation to Homotopy Type TheoryLocation: ILLC seminar room F1.15, Science Park 107, AmsterdamTarget audience: MSc Logic and PhD studentsIn the last decade, a number of deep connections between a form of type theory and homotopy theory have been discovered, which leads to a new research area: Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT) that attracts theoretical computer scientists, topologists, logicians and categorical theorists. In this talk, I will give a very brief introduction for HoTT: Martin Löf's dependent type theory; homotopy theory; their connections and maybe Voevodsky's Univalence Axiom.

12 December 2014, Colloquium on Mathematical Logic, Jouko Vaananen
Speaker: Jouko VaananenTitle: Quantum team logicLocation: Drift 6, zaal 007, UtrechtA logical approach to Bell's Inequalities of quantum mechanics has been introduced by Abramsky and Hardy. We point out that these logical Bell's Inequalities are provable in the probability logic of Fagin, Halpern and Megiddo. Since it is now considered empirically established that quantum mechanics violates Bell's Inequalities, we introduce a modified probability logic, that we call quantum team logic, in which Bell's Inequalities are not provable, and prove a Completeness Theorem for this logic. For this end we generalise the team semantics of dependence logic first to probabilistic team semantics, and then to, what we call quantum team semantics.

11 December 2014, Colloquium on Mathematical Logic, Matthias Schirn (Munich)
Speaker: Matthias Schirn (Munich)Title: Frege: Second-Order Abstraction and Referential IndeterminacyLocation: Janskerkhof 13, room 006 in UtrechtIn this talk, I shall critically discuss some issues related to Frege's paradigms of second-order abstraction principles: Hume's Principle and Axiom V. The focus is on the referential indeterminacy of value-range terms arising from a semantic stipulation later to be embodied in Axiom V of Grundgesetze. I shall discuss Frege's attempt to remove the indeterminacy as well as his subsequent proof of referentiality for his formal language with special emphasis on the case of value-range terms. Attention will also be paid to the assumptions that underly his overall strategy.

8 December 2014, XLSX seminar, Anna Szabolcsi (NYU)
Speaker: Anna Szabolcsi (NYU)Title: KA particles cross-linguisticallyLocation: Room K02, Bungehuis, Spuistraat 210, AmsterdamAbstract: In Japanese, the particle ka occurs (at least) in disjunctions, indefinites, wh-questions, and polar questions; Malayalam oo and Sinhala de/hari have a similarly wide distribution (Jayaseelan 2001, 2008, 2011; Shimoyama 2006; Slade 2011; a.o.). In many other languages, the distribution of what I generically dub “KA particles” is narrower (Bhat 2000; Cable 2010; Haspelmath 1997; Szabolcsi, Whang & Zu 2014; Winter 1995; a.o.). This talk will ask what unifies the signature contexts of KA, and why the particle is not always present in such contexts.

12 November 2014, Public Lecture "Logics for Social Behaviour", Alessandra Palmigiano
Speaker: Alessandra PalmigianoLocation: Museum Boerhaave, Lange St Agnietenstraat 10, LeidenIf humans are social animals, are they also logical animals?
Perhaps it is not by chance that the same Aristotle who recognized the social nature of human beings as their defining trait is also the father of logic.
Classical logic - the logic of Aristotle's syllogisms - is wonderfully clear but it also offers a limited perspective for the study of social behaviour. Humans speak languages which abound in vague concepts, interact with one another in open-ended forms of cooperation and coordination, can take decisions in groups on the basis of what group members consider to be half-truths, can form opinions on the basis of what they have understood of the opinions of others. Classical logic is not the right tool for all these phenomena.
To deal with them, new, nonclassical logics have been developed. This public lecture will focus on how nonclassical logics can help to describe and understand social behaviour, focusing on multi-player games, decision making in the face of uncertainty, and aggregation of information, preferences, and opinions.

7 November 2014, Cool Logic, Thomas Brochhagen (ILLC)
Speaker: Thomas Brochhagen (ILLC)Title: Nominal Combinations, Compositionality, and Semantic SlackLocation: ILLC seminar room (F1.15), Science Park 107, AmsterdamTarget audience: MSc Logic and PhD studentsThe interpretative variability of noun-noun combinations raises a number of issues concerning their constituents' contribution and mode of composition. Faced with these problems it is often emphasized that their proper treatment requires a delicate balance between (semantic and syntactic) constraints and (pragmatic) flexibility. Although many proposals acknowledge the central role of context and world knowledge to determine their meaning, the challenge they pose to the classical interpretation(s) of the principle of compositionality have received little attention. In this talk, we proceed by carefully evaluating where things go wrong, on possible ways to fix them and on what we can learn from them.

Speaker: Konstantin Genin (Carnegie Mellon University)Title: Learning with Ockham: Simplicity in Inductive InferenceLocation: ILLC seminar room (F1.15), Science Park 107, AmsterdamTarget audience: MSc Logic and PhD studentsIs it possible to give a non-circular justification for the systematic scientific bias in favor of simpler theories? Combining ideas from belief revision, learning theory and topology, we give a justification for Ockham's razor grounded in truth-finding efficiency. Connections are demonstrated between monotonicity principles in belief revision, Popperian falsificationism and simplicity.

Speaker: Ana Lucia Vargas SandovalTitle: Has Vaught's Conjecture been solved?Location: ILLC Seminar Room (F1.15), Science Park 107, AmsterdamTarget audience: MSc Logic and PhD studentsVaught's Conjecture states that the collection of countable models of a first-order complete theory in a countable language is either countable, or has the cardinality of the continuum. This talk provides an approach to Vaught's Conjecture, its importance in the mathematical logic field and some of the current developments around it. I will also discuss the controversy lead by Professor Knight from Oxford University when he claimed had a “counterexample” for Vaught's Conjecture in 2002.

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Fenrong LiuTitle: Do we reason alike? A logical reflection on the encounters between Chinese and Western traditionsLocation: Common room, Amsterdam University College, Science Park 113, AmsterdamDo Chinese and Westerners think and reason very differently, or do we think alike after all? How has communication between us been possible throughout history?

12 September 2014, Cool Logic, Pietro Pasotti
Speaker: Pietro PasottiTitle: Quantum Quacks: fraud and nonsense in healthcare culture(s)Location: Room F1.15, Science Park 107, AmsterdamTarget audience: MSc Logic and PhD studentsDrawing the line between science and pseudoscience is known to be a hard task that has haunted philosophers and scientists at least since the birth of the Galilean scientific tradition. Drawing inspiration from some works of Wittgenstein, and some of his intuitions on nonsense and the importance of practice, I try to outline a questioning procedure to help us place a couple of exemplary dubious practices on the one or the other side of the `worthiness' line. Most literature focuses on trying to obtain a demarcation between what's science ("and *thus* it's worthwhile") and what's not. My approach tries to go straight to what's worthwhile and what is not, by trying to clarify concepts such as `cure' and `effective therapy'. What needs have a healer for us to put our dear bones in their hands?

16 April 2014, Algebra|Coalgebra Seminar, Sam van Gool
Speaker: Sam van GoolTitle: Free algebras for Gödel-Löb provability logicLocation: Room F1.15, Science Park 107Abstract
We give a construction of finitely generated free algebras for Gödel-Löb provability logic, GL. On the semantic side, this construction yields a notion of canonical graded model for GL and a syntactic definition of those normal forms which are consistent with GL. Our two main techniques are incremental constructions of free algebras and finite duality for partial modal algebras. In order to apply these techniques to GL, we use a rule-based formulation of the logic GL by Avron (which we simplify slightly), and the corresponding semantic characterization that was recently obtained by Bezhanishvili and Ghilardi.For more information, see http://www.illc.uva.nl/alg-coalg/ or contact Sumit Sourabh (sumit.sourabh at gmail.com).

3 April 2014, Algebra|Coalgebra Seminar, Fatemeh Seifan
Speaker: Fatemeh SeifanTitle: Uniform Interpolation for Coalgebraic Fixpoint LogicLocation: Room F1.15, Science Park 107Abstract
In this talk we will use the connection between automata and logic to prove that a wide class of coalgebraic fixpoint logics enjoy the uniform interpolation. To this aim, first we generalize one of the central results in coalgebraic automata theory, namely closure under projection, which is known to hold for weak-pullback preserving functors, to a more general class of functors, i.e.; functors with quasi-functorial lax extensions. Then we will show thatclosure under projection implies definability of the bisimulation quantifier in the language of coalgebraic fixpoint logic, and finally we prove the uniform interpolation theorem.For more information, see http://www.illc.uva.nl/alg-coalg/ or contact Sumit Sourabh (S.Sourabh at uva.nl).

12 March 2014, Live-streamed event on "Global Humanities?"
4Humanities.org will host a live-streamed event on "Global Humanities?" on March 12, 2014, noon-1:30 pm Pacific Standard Time. The featured participant will be Rens Bod, professor of humanities and digital humanities at University of Amsterdam, who will engage online with Alan Liu, David Marshall (Dean of Humanities & Fine Arts, University of California, Santa Barbara ), and others at UC Santa Barbara on the question of the humanities and global humanities.
The questions are:
How can we think comparatively about what the humanities mean in multiple areas of the world with educational and funding systems not necessarily commensurable with U.S.-style "liberal arts"?
For example, how are the humanities and arts talked about elsewhere?
How are their histories and traditions different?
How are they positioned relative to other disciplines, institutions, and social sectors?
How are their different functions interrelated--memorial, educational, critical, research-oriented, etc.?
In both the past and the contemporary moment, how are humanities and arts differently valued or challenged around the world?The event will be livestreamed on YouTube from the event page at http://4humanities.org/2014/02/. Suggested readings from Rens Bod's book and Geoffrey Galt Harpham's *The Humanities and the Dream of America* are available from the event page (request a login to download the readings from Lindsay Thomas: lindsaythomas at umail.ucsb.edu ).

10 February 2014, The interplay of language, culture, and cognition for odor, Prof. Asifa Majid
Speaker: Prof. Asifa MajidLocation: Room C4.174, Science Park 904, AmsterdamMy research investigates the nature of categories and concepts in language, in non-linguistic perception and
cognition, and the relationship between them. I adopt a large-scale cross-cultural approach in order to
establish which aspects of categorisation are fundamentally shared, and which language-specific. My work is
interdisciplinary, combining standardised psychological methodology, in-depth linguistic studies and
ethnographically-informed description. This coordinated approach has been used to study of domains such as
space, event representation and more recently the language of perception.For more information, see http://www.mpi.nl/news/people/majid-asifa

18-19 December 2014, 12th European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS 2014), Prague, Czech Republic
Location: Prague, Czech RepublicDeadline: 26 September 2014In the last two decades, we have seen a significant increase of interest in agent-based computing. This field is now set to become one of the key technologies in the 21st century. The aim of this 12th European Conference on Multi-Agent Systems is to encourage and support activity in the research and development of multi-agent systems, in academic and industrial efforts. This conference is primarily intended as a European forum at which researchers, and those interested in activities relating to research in the area of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, could meet, present (potentially preliminary) research results, problems, and issues in an open and informal but academic environment.
EUMAS 2014 is a designated event of the European Association of Multi-Agent Systems (EURAMAS). To attract students as well as experienced researchers, preliminary as well as mature work, EUMAS 2014 offers three submission types and formal proceedings as well as post-proceedings in form of a journal special issue are planned.
For more information, see http://agents.fel.cvut.cz/eumas2014/, or email the organizers, Jiri Vokrinek (jiri.vokrinek at fel.cvut.cz) and Michal Jakob (jakob at agents.fel.cvut.cz).
EUMAS 2014 welcomes both original, unpublished papers, as well as papers that are under submission or have been published in a relevant conference, conference or journal. We specially invite submissions by students that we think will receive valuable feedback from the discussion-oriented focus of the conference. Preliminary student work is welcome; however it has to possess sufficient substance for serving as a discussion basis and therefore has to pass the review cycle in the same way as other work. Abstract submission deadline: September 26, 2014

17-19 December 2014, Workshop "Vagueness via Nonclassical Logics", Sydney, Australia
Location: Sydney, AustraliaDeadline: 15 October 2014There is widespread agreement that adequate models of the semantics of vague language and of reasoning with vague information cannot be developed within the confines of classical logic. There is less agreement over which nonclassical logic is best suited for handling vagueness and indeed over whether just one logical framework is sufficient to accommodate all vagueness related phenomena. This workshop will bring together researchers working on these issues in philosophy, logic, mathematics and computer science~with special (but not exclusive) focus on approaches that appeal to degrees of truth and fuzzy logics.
Further information can be found at http://sydney.edu.au/arts/philosophy/research/conferences.shtml#vagueness
To submit an abstract please email Nick Smith at nicholas.smith at sydney.edu.au by 15 October.

11-13 December 2014, Agent-based modeling in philosophy, Munich, Germany
Location: Munich, GermanyDeadline: 1 June 2014In the past two decades, agent-based models (ABMs) have become ubiquitous in philosophy and various sciences. In contrast with classical economic models or population-level models in biology, ABMs are praised for their lack of assumptions and their flexibility. Nonetheless, many of the methodological and epistemological questions raised by ABMs have yet to be fully articulated and answered. This conference aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers aimed at understanding the foundations of agent-based modeling and how the practice can inform and be informed by philosophy.
For more information, see http://www.lmu.de/abmp2014
We invite submissions of extended abstracts of 750-1000 words for contributed talks by 1 June 2014.

CfP special track of JAIR on "Cross-language algorithms and applications"
Deadline: 1 March 2015The Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR) is pleased to announce the launch of the Special Track on Cross-language Algorithms and Applications. The core Artificial Intelligence technologies of speech and natural language processing need to address the challenges of processing multiple languages. While the first challenge of multilingualism is to bridge the nomenclature gap for the same concepts, the next significant challenge is to develop algorithms and applications that not only scale to multiple languages but also leverage cross-lingual similarities for improved natural language processing.
The goal of this special track is to serve as a home for the publication of leading research on Cross-language Algorithms and Applications, focusing on developing unified themes leading to the development of the science of multi- and cross-lingualism. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: efforts in the direction of multilingual transliteration; multilingual document summarization; rapid prototyping of cross language tools for low resource languages; and machine translation.
Deadline for Submissions: 1st March 2015. For more information and submission instructions, please see http://www.jair.org/specialtrack-claa.html or contact martaruizcostajussa at gmail.com

10 December 2014, 14th workshop on Computational Models of Natural Argument (CMNA 2014), Krakow, Poland
Location: Krakow, PolandDeadline: 31 October 2014The series of workshops on Computational Models of Natural Argument acts to nurture and provide succor to the ever growing community working on Argument and Computation, a field developed in recent years overlapping Argumentation Theory and Artificial Intelligence.
The workshop focuses on the issue of modelling "natural" argumentation. Naturalness may involve the use of means which are more visual than linguistic to illustrate a point, such as graphics or multimedia. Or to the use of more sophisticated rhetorical devices, interacting at various layers of abstraction. Or the exploitation of "extra-rational" characteristics of the audience, taking into account emotions and affective factors.
For more information, see http://www.cmna.info/CMNA14/
The workshop encourages submissions in three categories:
- Long papers, either reporting on completed work or offering a polemic discussion on a burning issue (up to 10 pages).
- Short papers describing work in progress (up to 5 pages).
- Demonstration of implemented systems: submissions should be accompanied by written reports (up to 3 pages).
Deadline for submissions: 31 October 2014 -

3-5 November 2014, European Conference on Social Intelligence (ECSI-2014), Barcelona, Spain
Location: Barcelona, SpainDeadline: 3 September 2014Social intelligence is a general term at the intersection between different disciplines including philosophy, social science - sociology, economics, legal science, etc. - and computer science. Broadly speaking, social intelligence is the capacity to understand others and to act rationally and emotionally in relations with others. This is an ability that not only human but also artificial agents have, as modelled in artificial intelligence and agent-based research in particular.
The aim of the European Network for Social Intelligence (SINTELNET, 2011-2014) is to help build a shared perspective at the intersection of the above fields, to identify challenges and opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration, to provide guidelines for research and policy-making and to kindle partnerships among participants. The aim of the European Conference on Social Intelligence is to provide a productive meeting ground for researchers from the above fields
For more information, see http://ecsi.sintelnet.eu
The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Submissions should have a forward-looking perspective that contributes to the objectives of the symposium. Challenging position papers are specially welcome. The technicality of the papers should take the mixed audience into consideration. Selection for the symposium and subsequent publication will be based on the possibility of fruitful discussions and the quality of the arguments put forward. Paper submission deadline: September 3, 2014.

CfP special issue of Kuenstliche Intelligenz Journal on "Higher-Level Cognition and Computation"
Deadline: 19 December 2014Human higher-level cognition is a multi-faceted and complex area of thinking which includes the mental processes of reasoning, decision making, creativity, and learning among others. Logic, understood as a normative theory of thinking, has a widespread and pervasive effect on the foundations of cognitive science. However, human reasoning cannot be completely described by logical systems. Sources of explanations are incomplete knowledge, incorrect beliefs, or inconsistencies. Still, humans have an impressive ability to derive satisficing, acceptable conclusions. Generally, people employ both inductive and deductive reasoning to arrive at beliefs; but the same argument that is inductively strong or powerful may be deductively invalid. Therefore, a wide range of reasoning mechanisms has to be considered, such as analogical or defeasible reasoning.
The topics of interest for the special issue of the Kuenstliche Intelligenz journal, appearing in autumn 2015, include, but are not limited to: analogical reasoning, common sense and defeasible reasoning, deductive calculi for higher-level cognition * inductive reasoning and cognition, preferred mental models and their formalization, and probabilistic approaches of reasoning.
The Kuenstliche Intelligenz journal, which is published and indexed by Springer, supports the following lists of formats: Technical contributions, research projects, discussions, dissertation abstracts, conference reports and book reviews. If you are interested in contributing to this special issue, please contact one of the guest editors. Submission deadline: 19-Dec-2014 (EXTENDED).

Venn diagrams formed the basis of what is widely regarded to be the first sound and complete diagrammatic logic, called Venn-I, developed by Sun-Joo Shin in the 1990s. Since then, substantial research has been conducted on Euler and Venn diagrams, spanning logic, cognitive science and philosophy. We will consider submissions that focus on any aspect of Euler and Venn diagrams research, that falls within the scope of JOLLI, and encourage submissions from any discipline. The proposed special issue will bring together a valuable collection of papers for researchers working in this area.
We solicit papers consisting of original research contributions. Submitted papers that extend previously published conference papers should be submitted with a cover note to the editors explaining the contribution beyond the earlier version. It is expected that substantial new material is included in the submission to the special issue.
Abstract submission: October 15, 2014. Paper submission: October 30, 2014. More information, including formatting guidelines and details of the scope of JOLLI can be found on our web page https://sites.google.com/site/eulerandvenndiagrams/.

23 September 2014, KIK Workshop on "Higher-level cognition and computation", Stuttgart, Germany
Location: Stuttgart, GermanyDeadline: 1 July 2014This workshop, held in conjunction with KI 2014, aims at bringing together researchers from Artificial Intelligence, Automated Deduction, Computer Science, Cognitive Psychology, Philosophy, and related areas to foster a multi-disciplinary exchange between research in higher-level cognition and computation.
Human higher-level cognition is a multi-faceted and complex area of thinking which includes the mental processes of reasoning, decision making, creativity, and learning among others. Logic, understood as a normative theory of thinking, has a widespread and pervasive effect on the foundations of cognitive science. However, human reasoning cannot be completely described by logical systems. Sources of explanations are incomplete knowledge, incorrect beliefs, or inconsistencies. Still, humans have an impressive ability to derive satisficing, acceptable conclusions. Generally, people employ both inductive and deductive reasoning to arrive at beliefs; but the same argument that is inductively strong or powerful may be deductively invalid. Therefore, a wide range of reasoning mechanism has to be considered, such as analogical or defeasible reasoning.

22 September 2014, 8th International Workshop on Applications of Semantic Technologies (AST 2014), Stuttgart, Germany
Location: Stuttgart, GermanyDeadline: 22 April 2014Semantic Technologies encode meanings explicitly and independent from concrete formats and application logic. This enables machines and people likewise to understand, share, and reason over semantically represented data during retrieval and processing time. In the light of the W3C~s vision of a Web of linked data, Semantic Technologies are substantial constituents for the creation of data stores, the building of vocabularies for various domains, and the specification of rules for handling data.
The application of Semantic Technologies is currently being investigated in various fields. The AST 2014 workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners who work on applications of Semantic Technologies in order to foster cross-fertilisation between application areas and aid technology transfer from foundational research into practice. The workshop will provide an open and stimulating environment that brings together researchers, practitioners and users from various fields to discuss goals, limitations and real experiences related to the application and deployment of semantic technologies.
For more information, see http://ast2014.fzi.de or contact the AST 2014 organising committee: ast2014 at fzi.de
We invite you to submit original research, case studies, in-use, or position papers in English language of up to 12 pages. We also encourage you to submit demonstration papers, which will be given special attention in a separate slot (max. 8 pages). Submission deadline: April 22, 2014

18-19 September 2014, Workshop "Argumentation, Rationality and Decision", London, U.K.
Location: London, U.K.Deadline: 15 July 2014Recent decades have seen an explosion of research into formal argumentation theory within computer science, drawing on roots in philosophy and legal theory. The formalisms developed enable reasoning with incomplete and inconsistent information to reach decisions that are rational according to various criteria. However, this work has largely been conducted in isolation from the established mathematical decision sciences in microeconomic theory.
The workshop will bring together philosophers, economists, computer scientists and psychologists to discuss areas of common interests and possible directions for research.

11-13 September 2014, Workshop on Modal Syllogistics, Lisbon, Portugal
Location: Lisbon, PortugalDeadline: 31 May 2014Aristotle is the founder of modal logic. His system of modal syllogisms has been studied for many centuries, with less than successful results. In 1955, Jan Lukasiewicz declared that "in contrast to the assertoric syllogistic which is perfectly clear and nearly free of errors, Aristotle's modal syllogistic is almost incomprehensible because of its many faults and inconsistencies". Some scholars have been trying to resist this pessimistic judgement and to articulate interpretations of the modal syllogistic that are, at the same time, logically consistent and plausible on exegetical grounds. This workshop wants to provide a forum for discussion and to reflect, via the contributed talks and informal discussions, the state of art of the subject.
For more information, see http://www.lancog.com/modalsyllogistics.html
We invite submissions of long abstracts or short papers on any aspect of the modal syllogistic. The time slot is 80 minutes (50' talk + 30' discussion). We aim at accepting five contributed papers. Submission deadline: May 31, 2014.

6-8 September 2014, Semantic content workshop, Barcelona, Spain
Location: Barcelona, SpainDeadline: 31 May 2014Recent debates about semantic content have called into question traditional accounts and have renewed interest in unorthodox approaches, in particular approaches that operate with semantic contents that do not have absolute truth-values. These novel approaches to semantic content challenge the simple models of communication and information transfer that have traditionally been assumed. They also raise independently interesting questions about linguistic communication.
The project 'Semantic Content and Conversational Dynamics' organizes an international workshop on topics relevant to these issues. Invited speakers include Frank Veltman.
For more information, see http://semcon.wordpress.com/workshop-2/.
Contributions are invited. There will be space for up to 8 contributed papers. Submission deadline: 31st of May 2014.

CfP book "Applications of Formal Philosophy;"
Deadline: 31 December 2014We welcome full paper submissions for a book titled: "Applications of Formal Philosophy: The Road Less Travelled" to be published with Springer, edited by Rafal Urbaniak and Gillman Payette.
Scope:
Logicians have devoted considerable effort to applying formal methods to what are now considered core disciplines of analytic philosophy: philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language and metaphysics. Researchers in these fields have been accused of sharpening their knives without actually cutting anything of interest to those outside of philosophy. The focus of formal methods is changing and our intent is to further counter the impression of idleness with respect to philosophy at large. The focus of the volume is on those applications of formal methods in philosophy which might be of interest to people working on philosophical questions of more direct relevance to human life.The submission deadline is December 31, 2014. Please make sure that the content of the paper fits the scope of the volume. For more information, see http://entiaetnomina.blogspot.nl/2014/09/

2-5 September 2014, Highlights of Logic, Games and Automata (Highlights 2014), Paris, France
Location: Paris, FranceDeadline: 30 June 2014There is a distinct community in theoretical computer science, which studies logic, games and automata. Results produced by this community are dispersed across many conferences, which makes them difficult to follow, and the community rarely gathers. Also, since conferences are mainly used for publication, there are few incentives to make good talks. A new conference: Highlights of Logic, Games and Automata, aims to provide a solution to this problem.
A visit to this conference gives you a wide picture of the latest research in the area. Also, a chance to meet everybody in the field, not just those who happen to publish in one particular proceedings volume. We intend to achieve this popularity by having no proceedings, a short and cheap event, and building on the tradition of the similar proceedings-free GAMES workshop.
For more information, see http://highlights-conference.org/
The conference has no published proceedings. Participants are invited to present their best work, be it published elsewhere or yet unpublished. The conference is three days long. The contributed talks are around ten minutes. Submission deadline TBA.

20-22 August 2014, Fourth Workshop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL 2014), Galway, Ireland
Location: Galway, IrelandDeadline: 14 March 2014This workshop on controlled natural language (CNL) has a broad scope and embraces all approaches that are based on natural language and apply restrictions on vocabulary, grammar, and/or semantics. This includes (but is certainly not limited to) approaches that have been called simplified language, plain language, formalized language, processable language, fragments of language, phraseologies, conceptual authoring, language generation, and guided natural language interfaces.
Some CNLs are designed to improve communication among humans, especially for non-native speakers of the respective natural language. In other cases, the restrictions on the language are supposed to make it easier for computers to analyze such texts in order to improve computer-aided, semi-automatic, or automatic translations into other languages. A third group of CNL has the goal to enable reliable automated reasoning and formal knowledge representation from seemingly natural texts. All these types of CNL are covered by this workshop.
For more information, see http://attempto.ifi.uzh.ch/site/cnl2014/
We invite researchers to submit papers with novel contributions in the area of CNL. These research papers should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS format and should not exceed 10 pages. Submission deadline: 14 March 2014.

18-22 August 2014, Workshop on Models in Formal Semantics and Pragmatics, Tübingen, Germany
Location: Tübingen, GermanyDeadline: 15 February 2014The field of natural-language semantics and pragmatics has undergone a shift away from defining or even mentioning models. Indeed, some scholars find their use redundant at best, harmful at worst. A generation of young semanticists got their first encounters with the formal theory through Heim and Kratzer's textbook, which does not mention models at all. There is little open discussion on these developments, but much anecdotal evidence that people have strong opinions about them. This ESSLII-2014 workshop will give the debate a public forum.
For more information, see http://homepages.uconn.edu/~stk12004/Models_ESSLLI2014/.
The workshop has room for eight submitted papers of 30 minutes each, including discussion. Abstracts must be submitted by February 15, 2014.

18-22 August 2014, ESSLLI Workshop on Information Dynamics in Artificial Societies (IDAS@ESSLLI-14), Tuebingen, Germany
Location: Tuebingen, GermanyDeadline: 30 April 2014Describing intelligent agents with the help of cognitive and social notions is now well established in the domain of artificial intelligence. In the recent years, concepts such as trust, reputation, delegation, commitment and convention have been proposed in order to describe how artificial agents interact in an artificial society or in a virtual organization. This workshop aimed at discussing formal theories and logics of information dynamics - including formal theories and logics of belief and preference change, learning theory, social choice theory and judgement aggregation - in order to better understand how information circulates in an artificial society, and how it influences the individual and collective cognitive attitudes.
The workshop is an event of ESSLLI-14 and will take place on August 18-22 2014, Tubingen, Germany. It will form part of the coordination activities of SINTELNET, the European Network for Social intelligence (FP7-286370), within the Working Group co-chaired by Emiliano Lorini.

18-19 August 2014, Logics for Games and Strategic Reasoning and Social Choice, Prague, Czech Republic
Location: Prague, Czech RepublicDeadline: 11 May 2014Strategic reasoning occurs in many multi-agent scenarios. This is evident in theoretical approaches to MAS, as well as in practical solutions used, for example, in computer games, IT infrastructures for e-voting procedures, social network services, etc. This special session at CLIMA XV (Computational Logic in Multi-Agent Systems) addresses the question how formal logic can contribute to our understanding, modeling and analysis of strategic behavior, and investigates how the metaphors of game and social interaction can help in constructing and using logical formalisms.

18-19 August 2014, 5th AISB Workshop on "Figurative language: its patterns and meanings in domain-specific discourse", Birmingham, U.K.
Location: Birmingham, U.K.Deadline: 9 June 2014Forms of figurative language such as metaphor and metonymy are key resources for communicating domain-specific information in an accessible way. Modelling such patterns of communication is a key aim of academic disciplines such as linguistics, discourse studies, and psycholinguistics, and understanding such phenomena is an emerging goal within Artificial Intelligence and the related field of Natural Language Processing. A particularly interesting current area of research is work on automatically generating as well as understanding metaphor, which are both emerging as important sites for addressing long-standing problems in linguistics, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science.
To facilitate communication about such efforts, we are planning a two-day workshop on modelling the meanings and patterns of health and political conflict, where discourse in these domains typically gives rise to some of the richest and most figurative forms of human discourse. The workshop will take place at the University of Birmingham, and will be jointly organized through the University's Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) as well as the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB).
For more information, see http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~gargetad/
We are calling for 500 word abstracts for presentations at this workshop, which may report research in progress, as well as more finished research. To coincide with IAS activities over lapping with the workshop, we are also planning a special session on the morning of the second day dedicated to corpus and computational resources, such as FrameNet, WordNet, Propbank, and Ontonotes (to name a few), and if you wish to present in this, please mark your abstract as for the "Special Session". Abstracts of no more than 500 words (plus references, if desired) are to be submitted by 9th June.

11-15 August 2014, Formal and experimental pragmatics, Tübingen
Location: TübingenDeadline: 8 March 2014The recently emerging field of experimental pragmatics has painted a complex picture of the interaction between semantic and pragmatic information in phenomena as diverse as implicature, referentiality, figurative meaning, prosody, and presupposition. In parallel, advances in probabilistic and game-theoretic models that treat pragmatic inference as a problem of reasoning under uncertainty have yielded testable quantitative predictions about the outcome of many different kinds of pragmatic inference. Despite this progress, a great deal of work is needed on the mathematical foundations and quantitative empirical grounding of pragmatics, and, most critically, the connection between the two. The aim of this ESSLLI-2014 workshop is to promote dialog and community for these lines of research: strengthening the search for an empirically grounded formal pragmatics.
For more information, see https://sites.google.com/site/fepesslli2014
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of original work for oral or poster presentations relevant to the workshop's topics. Submissions should be anonymous, in PDF format and not exceed 2 pages of 12pt text with 2.5cm margins on all sides, including all references, figures, tables etc. Submissions are due 8 March 2014.

11-15 August 2014, Epistemic Logic for Individual, Social, and Interactive Epistemology, Tübingen, Germany
Location: Tübingen, GermanyDeadline: 8 March 2014Historically, with its origins in philosophy, epistemic logic promised to illuminate traditional issues of epistemology, the theory of knowledge. In recent years, epistemic logic has been making good on that promise, with important new applications not only to individual epistemology, a traditional focus of philosophers for the last two-and-a-half thousand years, but also in social epistemology, the more recent investigation of the social dimensions of knowledge and information flow, as well as interactive epistemology, the study of knowledge and belief in strategic, game-theoretic situations.
During five 90-minute sessions, the ELISIEM workshop will feature presentations covering the latest applications of epistemic logic to individual, social, and interactive epistemology, putting work at this fascinating intersection on the map of interdisciplinary activities in logic.
For more information, see https://sites.google.com/site/elisiem2014/.
We invite submissions of papers (preferably shorter than 15 pages), including a brief abstract and several keywords, in PDF format through EasyChair. Submission deadline: March 8, 2014

4-5 August 2014, Second workshop on Reasoning about other minds: Logical and cognitive perspectives, Groningen, The Netherlands
Location: Groningen, The NetherlandsDeadline: 1 July 2014This workshop aims to shed light on models of social reasoning that take into account realistic resource bounds. People reason about other people's mental states in order to understand and predict the others' behavior. This capability to reason about others' knowledge, beliefs and intentions is often referred to as 'theory of mind'. Idealized rational agents are capable of recursion in their social reasoning, and can reason about phenomena like common knowledge. Such idealized social reasoning has been modeled by modal logics such as epistemic logic and BDI (belief, goal, intention) logics. However, in real-world situations, many people seem to lose track of such recursive social reasoning after only a few levels. Cognitive scientists build computational models of social reasoning, for example, recently an "inverse planning" model based on Bayesian inference frameworks has proven successful in modeling human inferences about the goals and beliefs underlying other people's observed behavior.
For more information, see http://www.ai.rug.nl/conf/reasoningminds2/.
Please send your extended abstract in PDF format, not exceeding 4 double-spaced pages (1,500 words) by Tuesday July 1, 2014.

31 July - 2 August 2014, Fifth Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN'14), Quebec City QC, Canada
Location: Quebec City QC, CanadaDeadline: 11 April 2014Narratives are ubiquitous in human experience. We use them to communicate, convince, explain, and entertain. As far as we know, every society in the world has narratives, which suggests they are rooted in our psychology and serve an important cognitive function. The aim of this workshop series is to address key questions that advance our understanding of narrative at multiple levels: from the psychological and cognitive impact of narratives to our ability to model narrative responses computationally.
For more information, see http://narrative.csail.mit.edu/cmn14/
This inter-disciplinary workshop will be an appropriate venue for papers addressing fundamental topics and questions regarding narrative. Papers should be relevant to issues fundamental to the computational modeling and scientific understanding of narrative; we especially welcome papers relevant to the neuroscientific and cognitive aspects of narrative. Regardless of its focus, reported work should provide some sort of insight of use to computational modeling of narratives. We accept both finished research and more tentative exploratory work. Submission deadline is April 11, 2014.

21-24 July 2014, Eleventh International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2014), Darmstadt, Germany
Location: Darmstadt, GermanyDeadline: 7 April 2014The conference is concerned with the theory of computability and complexity over real-valued data. The classical approach in these areas is to consider algorithms as operating on finite strings of symbols from a finite alphabet. Most mathematical models in physics and engineering, however, are based on the real number concept. Thus, a computability theory and a complexity theory over the real numbers and over more general continuous data structures is needed.
Despite remarkable progress in recent years many important fundamental problems have not yet been studied, and presumably numerous unexpected and surprising results are waiting to be detected. Scientists working in the area of computation on real-valued data come from different fields, such as theoretical computer science, domain theory, logic, constructive mathematics, computer arithmetic, numerical mathematics and all branches of analysis. The conference provides a unique opportunity for people from such diverse areas to meet, present work in progress and exchange ideas and knowledge.
For more information, see the Conference Web Page at http://cca-net.de/cca2014/
Authors are invited to submit 1-2 pages abstracts in PDF format. Submission deadline: April 7, 2014

18 July 2014, 1st International Workshop on Quantification (QUANTIFY 2014), Vienna, Austria
Location: Vienna, AustriaDeadline: 25 April 2014Quantifiers play an important role in language extensions of many logics. The use of quantifiers often allows for a more succinct encoding than would be possible without quantifiers. However, the introduction of quantifiers affects the complexity of the extended formalism in general. Moreover, theoretical results established for the quantifier-free formalism typically cannot be directly transferred to the quantified case. Further, techniques successfully implemented in reasoning tools for quantifier-free formulas cannot directly be lifted to a quantified version.
The goal of the 1st International Workshop on Quantification (QUANTIFY 2014) is to bring together researchers who investigate the impact of quantification from a theoretical as well as from a practical point of view. Quantification is a topic in different research areas such as in SAT in terms of QBF, in CSP in terms of QCSP, in SMT, etc. This workshop has the aim to provide an interdisciplinary forum where researchers of various fields may exchange their experiences.
For more information, see http://vsl2014.at/quantify
We solicit two types of submissions: talk abstracts describing already published results, and full papers on novel, unpublished work. Submission deadline (extended) is April 25, 2014.

17-18 July 2014, International Workshop on Proof, Structure and Computation (PSC 2014), Vienna, Austria
Location: Vienna, AustriaDeadline: 1 May 2014The extraction of computational content from proofs has a long tradition in logic, but usually depends on a concrete encoding that allows us to turn proofs into algorithms. A recent trend in this field is the departure from such encoding which not only makes it simpler to represent the mathematical content, but also makes the extracted computational content encoding independent. This shift in focus allows us to focus on what is relevant: the computational aspects of proofs and the specification (not representation) of the structures involved. We now have growing evidence that this move from representations (e.g. the signed digit representation of the reals) to axioms (e.g. of the real numbers) is possible. This development largely parallels the step from assembler to high level languages in programming. As a by-product this move has already opened up the possibility to gain computational information from axiomatic proofs in more abstract and genuinely structural areas of mathematics such as algebra and topology.
For more information, see http://vsl2014.at/psc/ or contact psc2014 at easychair.org.
We welcome 1-2-page abstracts presenting (finished, ongoing, or if clearly stated even published) work on proof, structure, and computation. Submission deadline is 1 May 2014.

16-19 July 2014, Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees (LATD 2014), Vienna, Austria
Location: Vienna, AustriaDeadline: 6 April 2014The conference "Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees 2014" will be held on 16-19 July 2014 in Vienna, Austria, as part of the Vienna Summer of Logic event.
Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees is the fourth official meeting of the EUSFLAT Working Group on Mathematical Fuzzy Logic. Mathematical Fuzzy Logic is the sub-discipline of Mathematical Logic that is concerned with the notion of comparative truth. The assumption that "truth comes in degrees" has proved to be very useful in many theoretical and applied areas of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Philosophy.
For more information please visit the official web page of the conference: http://www.logic.at/latd2014/. All correspondence should be directed to latd2014 at logic.at.
The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit papers on any of the featured topics. We particularly welcome contributions on many-valued and related logical systems. The deadline for contributions is 6th April 2014.

15 July 2014, Vienna Summer of Logic 2014 Workshop on Logic and Games, Vienna, Austria
Location: Vienna, AustriaDeadline: 1 May 2014Despite its austere appearance, formal logic can often be viewed through the lens of game theory, whereby various logical concepts -- validity, consequence, provability, satisfiability, (in)dependence, possibility, etc. -- become animated as games. Going in the other direction, one can start with games and find logics, and various logical concepts, therein. The idea of viewing logics as games, and vice versa, is by no means new, but it has enjoyed a certain renaissance in recent years. The workshop is intended to serve as a magnet to attract the latest research in the spirit of connecting logic to games.
Logic and Games will be a one-day event consisting of three invited 60-minute talks, together with selected shorter contributed talks. Invited speakers: Gabriel Sandu (Helsinki), Ondrej Majer (Prague) and Kazushige Terui (Kyoto).
For more information, see http://www.logic.at/logic-and-games-2014/ or contact the organizers at LG2014 at logic.at.
The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Submission deadline is May 1st.

13 July 2014, Third International Workshop on Gentzen Systems and Beyond (GSB3), Vienna, Austria
Location: Vienna, AustriaDeadline: 13 April 2014This is a workshop on Gentzen-style proof systems, their generalizations, and extensions. Since the introduction of the sequent calculus and natural deduction by Gerhard Gentzen in the 1930s, a wide spectrum of formalisms have been used to construct proof systems for logics resisting a simpler description, including hypersequents, deep inference systems, display calculi, labelled deductive systems, tableaux, and proof nets, to name just a few. The aim of this workshop is to explore and compare the motivations for and relative merits of these different approaches.
A broader aim of the workshop is to build a bridge between researchers into theoretical aspects of structural proof theory and the more application-oriented goals of the proof theory community, particularly in cases where the methods, such as constructing analytic systems, are shared. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8-11 July 2014, Trends in Logic XIV "The Road Less Travelled: Off-stream applications of formal methods", Ghent, Belgium
Location: Ghent, BelgiumDeadline: 20 January 2014Trends in Logic is the conference series of the journal 'Studia Logica'. The focus of the 14th conference is to be on those applications of formal methods in philosophy which might be of interest to people working on philosophical questions of more direct relevance to human life.
Logicians have devoted considerable effort to applying formal methods to what are now considered core disciplines of analytic philosophy: philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language and metaphysics. Researchers in these fields have been accused of sharpening their knives without actually cutting anything of interest to those outside of philosophy. The focus of formal methods is changing and our intent for this conference is to further counter the impression of idleness with respect to philosophy at large.

Location: Coimbra, PortugalDeadline: 31 May 2014The traditional notion of mathematical proof faces in the 21st century what we will call "the computer challenge". Three different aspects are worth separating. 'Proof search' has its known limitations due to undecidability and complexity results. However, special areas, such as semigroup theory, already enjoy considerable support from computer-generated proofs. 'Proof check' is recently the 'hottest' area, in no small part due to the attempt to formally verify the proof of the Kepler conjecture by its author Hales. 'Proof representation' seems currently be the stumbling block for convincing the mathematical community to accept computer-aided theorem proving as a viable complement to everyday mathematical research.
For our workshop we solicit contributions for discussions about the current state-of-the-art of automated theorem proving (ATP), approaching the topic from the mathematical (or even philosophical) side, as well as from computer science.
For more information, see the workshop homepage at http://cicm-conference.org/2014/cicm.php?event=nop.
In addition to standard scientific/philosophical papers, descriptions and demonstrations of computer systems that bear on these issues are also welcome. Submission deadline is May 31.

7-8 July 2014, Symposium on the Foundations of Mathematics, Vienna, Austria
Location: Vienna, AustriaDeadline: 31 March 2014Set theory is taken to serve as a foundation for mathematics. But it is well-known that there are set-theoretic statements that cannot be settled by the standard axioms of set theory. The Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms, with the Axiom of Choice (ZFC), are incomplete. The primary goal of this symposium is to explore the different approaches that one can take to the phenomenon of incompleteness. These different approaches have wider consequences for the concepts of meaning and truth in mathematics and beyond. The conference will address these foundational issues at the intersection of philosophy and mathematics. The primary goal of the conference is to showcase contemporary philosophical research on different approaches to the incompleteness phenomenon.
For more information, see the conference website at http://sotfom.wordpress.com/.
We welcome submissions from scholars (in particular, young scholars, i.e. early career researchers or post-graduate students) on any area of the foundations of mathematics (broadly construed). Particularly desired are submissions that address the role of set theory in the foundations of mathematics, or the foundations of set theory (universe/multiverse dichotomy, new axioms, etc.) and related ontological and epistemological issues. Submission Deadline: 31 March 2014.

23-27 June 2014, CiE 2014: Computability in Europe, Budapest, Hungary
Location: Budapest, HungaryDeadline: 14 April 2014CiE 2014 is the tenth conference organized by CiE (Computability in Europe), a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists, philosophers, physicists and others interested in new developments in computability and their underlying significance for the real world.
The motto of CiE 2014 "Language, Life, Limits" intends to put a special focus on relations between computational linguistics, natural computing, and more traditional fields of computability theory. This is to be understood in its broadest sense including computational aspects of problems in linguistics, studying models of computation and algorithms inspired by physical and biological approaches as well as exhibiting limits (and non-limits) of computability when considering different models of computation arising from such approaches.
For more information, see http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu
Unlike the traditional format of computer science conferences with pre-conference proceedings, mathematics conferences allow for informal presentations that are prepared very shortly before the conference and inform the participants about current research and work in progress. Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, also this year's CiE conference endeavours to get the best of both worlds. In addition to the formal presentations based on our LNCS proceedings volume, we invite researchers to present informal presentations. For this, please send us a brief description of your talk (between one paragraph and one page) by the deadline of April 14, 2014.

22-23 May 2014, Workshop "Objects of All Kinds" (OAK), Lille, France
Speaker: Dale Jacquette (Bern), Wim Veldman (Nijmegen)Location: Lille, FranceDeadline: 15 February 2014The concept of object is one of the most general concepts in philosophy. On the one hand, we may be interested in the general question of what it is to be an object. On the other hand, we face the problem of delineating the criteria of objecthood in connection with specialized topics, giving rise to specific questions on what it is to be an object of a certain kind (such as concrete, abstract, indeterminate, mathematical, etc.). Accepting or refusing things of a certain kind as legitimate objects (of that particular kind) when developing a scientific theory or a philosophical position is likely to have important general repercussions.
In our workshop we wish to investigate the notion of object, both generally and in relation to particular fields of research. The emphasis is on the grounds and consequences of specific views on objects.
For more information, see http://evenements.univ-lille3.fr/oak/ or contact ronzitti at gmail.com or tero.tulenheimo at univ-lille3.fr (for information concerning the workshop) or matthieu.gallais at univ-lille3.fr (for practical information).
We invite submissions presenting original contributions to the above questions in relation to different disciplines within which they can arise (metaphysics, logic, physics, mathematics, theory of knowledge, and so on). Up to 4 contributed papers will be accepted for presentation at the workshop. In addition, up to 2 short student presentations will be accepted. Submission deadline: February 15, 2014

21-23 May 2014, Summer School and Workshop "Abstraction: Philosophy and Mathematics", Oslo, Norway
Location: Oslo, NorwayDeadline: 15 February 2014This combined summer school and workshop aims to take stock of the abstractionist programme after three decades of intensive philosophical and technical study, as well as to make progress on some questions that have recently received much attention, such as the metaontology of abstraction and the variety of responses to the bad company problem, including the possibility of a more 'dynamic' approach to abstraction (recently advocated by Øystein Linnebo, James Studd, and others), which sees abstraction as a process whereby ever greater domains of abstracta are 'generated'.
For more information, see http://philevents.org/event/show/12908. For any questions, please contact Salvatore Florio at florio at ksu.edu
A limited number of contributed papers will be accepted for presentation. For consideration, please submit an extended abstract or a complete paper, ready for blind review, to oystein.linnebo at ifikk.uio.no by February 15, 2014.

1-4 April 2014, Second Symposium on History and Philosophy of Programming (HaPoP 2), London, U.K.
Location: London, U.K.Deadline: 3 January 2014A historical awareness of the evolution of computing not only helps to clarify the complex structure of the computing sciences, but it also provides an insight in what computing was, is and maybe could be in the future. Philosophy, on the other hand, helps to tackle some of the fundamental problems of computing. The aim of this symposium is to zoom into one fundamental aspect of computing, that is the foundational and the historical problems and developments related to the science of programming.
The convention is organised by the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB) as part of the AISB-50 Annual Convention 2014 to be held at Goldsmiths, University of London, on April 1st-4th 2014.

1-2 April 2014, Norms, Actions, Games (NAG 2014), London, U.K.
Location: London, U.K.Deadline: 30 January 2014In strategic interaction, where multiple agents pursue personal objectives, conflict is bound to arise, as the actions of the individual agents have an effect on the welfare of the others. In such situations the need arises for the explicit regulation of individual and collective behaviour which has traditionally followed two alternative approaches, well-known in the economics literature: the spontaneous order approach, which studies how norms result from endogenous agreements among rational individuals, and the mechanism design approach, which studies how norms are exogenously designed in order to reach desirable properties.
The present workshop is motivated by the conviction that the two paradigms to understand norms in strategic interaction are by no means incompatible and can be effectively used together for regulative purposes. The aim of the symposium is to gather researchers looking at norms in strategic interaction from different perspectives, i.e. philosophy, computer science, game theory, logic, fostering discussion and interdisciplinary collaboration. Researchers will be given the opportunity of presenting their work in a stimulating environment, without novelty constraints on their contribution.
For more information please have a look at the workshop website http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~pturrini/NAG/
We welcome contributions on the conference topics from all relevant disciplines, with special emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches. The deadline for submission is January 30, 2014, and we will accept short papers/extended abstract (max 3000 words).

13-14 March 2014, Workshop "Empirical Methods of Linguistics in Philosophy",, Dortmund (Germany)
Location: Dortmund (Germany)Deadline: 1 December 2013The "experimental philosophy" movement has recently gained some momentum in the philosophical community. The movement's basic idea is to introduce experimental methods (other than thought experiments) or, more broadly conceived, empirical methods to philosophy. This workshop brings together researchers who implement empirical methods from linguistics in philosophical research.
Although the focus of the workshop is on the use of such methods in philosophy, both philosophers and linguists will be involved. Each of the workshop sessions will open with a paper demonstrating the application of a specific linguistic method in philosophy. This paper will be followed by two peer commentaries, one by a linguist, the other by a philosopher. The primary purpose of the workshop is exploratory: The potential applications, the benefits and the limits of linguistic methods in philosophy stand in need of clarification. The secondary purpose is to create a networking opportunity for researchers who employ (and those who intend to employ) empirical methods from linguistics in philosophy.

13-14 March 2014, Conference "(Re)presenting the Speech of Others", Groningen, The Netherlands
Location: Groningen, The NetherlandsDeadline: 1 December 2013There are different ways of reporting what someone else has said. Common forms of speech reports are direct speech (Mary said 'I am sick') and indirect speech (Mary said that she is sick). Pretense and role play are closely related phenomena. Like in direct speech, someone engaging in role play adopts the perspective of another person and produces utterances from that shifted standpoint (I am sick). Another interesting parallel is that children start to use speech reports and to engage in role play at around the same time, namely at two to three years of age. This is well before they pass standard false belief tests (at around four) which are often taken to be the hallmark of Theory of Mind and metarepresentation. Since at least some forms of reported speech exhibit recursion, intensionality, and/or clausal embedding, this developmental gap may shed new light on the debate over the relationship between Theory of Mind and the syntax/semantics of recursive embedding. The aim of the conference is to discuss the cognitive and conceptual relationship of reported speech, pretense and cognitive abilities such as perspective-taking, metarepresentation and Theory of Mind.
For more information, see https://sites.google.com/site/representing2014/
We invite authors to submit an anonymous two-page abstract by 1 December, 2013, for a talk of 20 minutes plus 10 minutes discussion or a poster. We welcome theoretically and empirically oriented contributions addressing some of the conference's topics of interest from the perspectives of (psycho)linguistics, philosophy, psychology or semantics.

10-12 March 2014, Workshop on Beauty and Explanation in Mathematics (WBEM), Umea, Sweden
Location: Umea, SwedenDeadline: 1 December 2013The purpose of this workshop is to bring together philosophers, mathematicians, and mathematics educators to study a question which is both relevant and timely for all three groups, namely whether mathematical beauty and mathematical explanation are related.
Our approach is largely empirical- we will develop a set of examples that will help us make necessary distinctions and connections. The central questions of the workshop fall into three classes. One class concerns relations between beauty and visualization in mathematics; the other class concerns relations between explanation and visualization in mathematics. The third, perhaps most intriguing, class deals with the question whether visualization is an essential link between explanation and beauty and mathematics, that is: When some mathematics is both beautiful and explanatory, does the conjunction depend on the presence of a visual element?
In addition to the scientific aims of the workshop, an important goal is to reach across normally rigid disciplinary domains to work on an area of common interest. We have invited top people from respective fields, some of whom know each other, but others (even within the same field) have never read each other s work.
For more information, see the workshop website at http://mathbeauty.wordpress.com/wbem/
If you are interested to contribute a paper to the workshop please submit an abstract, no more than 2 pages, describing with some detail what you would like to present, and whether you would like to present a short (20 minute) or long (40 minute) presentation. Deadline: December 1, 2013.

3-5 March 2014, KNAW Colloquium on Dependence Logic
Location: KNAW, Kloveniersburgwal 29, 1011 JV AmsterdamDeadline: 14 February 2014The goal of this Academy Colloquium is to establish a basic theory of dependence and independence underlying seemingly unrelated subjects such as bound variables in logic, database theory, the theory of social choice, random variables, Mendelian genetics, causality, and even parts of quantum physics. There is an abundance of new results in this field demonstrating remarkable convergence. The concepts of (in)dependence in the different fields of humanities and sciences have surprisingly much in common and a common logic is starting to emerge.
For more information, see https://www.knaw.nl/en/news/calendar/dependence-logic or https://www.knaw.nl/shared/resources/actueel/bestanden/.
Young researchers, PhD-students and research master students in dependence logic or related fields are cordially invited to send a proposal for a 20 minutes presentation of their research in the Academy Colloquium. Although the colloquium will be focused on dependence logic, the scope of the presentations is wider, and other aspects of mathematical, computer science and philosophical logic pertaining to dependence and independence concepts or team semantics will be accepted as well. Submission deadline: 14 February 2014.

20-23 February 2014, Functions, proofs, constructions, Tuebingen, Germany
Location: Tuebingen, GermanyDeadline: 1 September 2013The apparent dichotomy between proofs as constituted by inferential steps, and proofs as abstract 'unstructured' entities reflects the duality of the notion of function itself. Should functions be viewed as procedures - piecewise constituted by instructions - or are functions sorts of black boxes to be identified by what they do - giving a value for each input - rather than by how they do it? Are functions primarily given as the denotation of linguistic predicates (in a Fregean manner), or are they rather an already given domain which we disclose through language?
For more information and a full programme please visit http://ls.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/FPC/.
We invite philosophers, historians as well as mathematician and computer scientists willing to take part to the workshop to submit the extended abstract (max 2 pages) of a talk suitable for a 45 minutes to 1 hour presentation. Submission Deadline: September 1, 2013.

27-28 January 2014, AISB Workshop on Modelling Organisational Behaviour and Social Agency, Bournemouth, U.K.
Location: Bournemouth, U.K.Deadline: 3 November 2013The Society for the Study of Articial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB) is organizing a Workshop on Modelling Organisational Behaviour and Social Agency. The event is hosted by Bournemouth University.
Agent-based models (ABMs) allow to observe the complexity of a system's interactions in the making. This is of interest for the social sciences because of a presumed ontological correspondence of agents with the atoms of social life. An agent can be anything from states to socio-cultural structures, to the environment. This methodological vagueness can be the scrutinised with the theoretical question of what is the basic unit for the analysis of social systems in-between culture, organisation, interactions, and the body. This is of particular relevance for the analysis of organisations, and hence we would like to bring together a group of people that is interested in any aspect of ABM of social agents in organisations.
For more information, see http://www.aisb.org.uk/index.php/news/82-bulletin/
We invite submissions that seek to examine the applications, structure, how-to, potentials, and philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of ABMs applied to organisational behaviour and social agency. The workshop welcomes contributions from any discipline. Abstracts should be submitted by November 3, 2013.

13-16 January 2014, Modeling experiencers in natural language semantics (ISLA 2014 workshop), Tezpur, India
Location: Tezpur, IndiaDeadline: 22 October 2013There is a long-standing tradition of using logical and, more specifically, model-theoretic tools in the analysis of natural languages. Building on this tradition, this ISLA-2014 workshop aims at addressing one specific issue that has been the topic of discussion lately in the areas of formal semantics, applied logic, computational linguistics, and philosophy. The issue at stake is the notion of *experiencer*, across languages and across linguistic categories.
In addressing questions concerning experiencers, our workshop aims at reaching a better understanding of the nature of argument structure in natural language, which we take to be a key element in understanding the logical patterns that linguistic constructions give rise to, and in modeling the logic of natural language. Our interdisciplinary workshop will provide a platform for a fruitful exchange between those working in foundational areas in logic and those who are interested in the applications of logic to natural languages.
For more information, see http://parles.upf.edu/llocs/bgehrke/experiencers2014/
We invite abstracts for 40-minute presentations (30 + 10) to be submitted by October 22 (extended deadline).

13 December 2014, Master class The biology of Language: Evolution, Brain, Development, KNAW, Kloveniersburgwal 29, 1011 JV Amsterdam
Location: KNAW, Kloveniersburgwal 29, 1011 JV AmsterdamLanguage serves as a cornerstone for human cognition, yet much about its evolution remains puzzling. Recent research on this question parallels Darwin's attempt to explain both the unity of all species as well as their diversity. What has emerged is that the unified nature of human language arises from a shared, species-specific computational ability, one with identifiable correlates in the brain, that has remained fixed since the origin of language about 100 thousand years ago. At the same time, the nature of variation from language to language arises historically in ways similar to biological variation, and can be modelled as such.

10 December 2014, The 1st International Workshop for Methodologies for Research on Legal Argumentation (MET-ARG 2014), Krakow, Poland
Location: Krakow, PolandThe aim of the workshop is to provide a space for exchange of methodological ideas concerning the research on legal argumentation from three perspectives: AI and Law, argumentation theory and legal theory. Since a thorough discussion of scientific aims and adopted methodologies is needed in this field, our main motivation is to discuss some perspectives of cooperation and mutual inspiration between these three research areas in order to develop more effective, accurate and scientifically adequate theories and models of legal argumentation. This may lead to establishing of interdisciplinary research projects related to legal argumentation.
MET-ARG is held in conjunction with the CMNA 14 workshop and is organized under auspices of the ArgDiaP organisation. At the workshop eight position papers will be presented by key specialists in the fields of AI and Law, argumentation theory and legal theory, which will be followed by a panel discussion "Force of Legal Arguments: Contemporary Perspectives and Methods" to which all the workshop's participants will be invited.

5-7 December 2014, Aesthetics in Mathematics, Norwich, U.K.
Location: Norwich, U.K.It is a common thought that mathematics can be not only true but also beautiful, and some of the greatest mathematicians have attached central importance to the aesthetic merit of their work. Many have derived aesthetic pleasure from mathematical research, pointing out the incomparable beauty and elegance of particular theorems, proofs and theories. As the French mathematician and theoretical physicist Henri Poincaré put it, mathematical beauty is a "real aesthetic feeling that all true mathematicians recognise". Others have gone further, recognising mathematical beauty not only as a well-known phenomenon, but as one of the key motivations behind the formulation of mathematical proofs and as a criterion for choosing one mathematical theorem over another. Thus, Hermann Weyl famously declared: "My work always tried to unite the true with the beautiful, but when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful".
This conference seeks to address questions that arise out of this tendency, prevalent among mathematicians, to call theories, proofs and definitions ~beautiful~ or ~ugly~ and to judge them on the basis of aesthetic standards.

28-29 November 2014, "The Semantics/Pragmatics Distinction and Philosophical Methodology", Zuerich, Switzerland
Location: Zuerich, SwitzerlandThe primary aim of the conference is to examine the purpose of the semantics-pragmatics distinction and the arguments referred to in order to defend a particular account of the distinction.
The conference intends to address the following questions: What is the function of the semantics-pragmatics distinction? Are the different participants in the debate trying to account for the same distinction? On which basis, i.e. referring to what kind of arguments, can a particular account of the distinction between semantics and pragmatics be defended?

19-23 November 2014, 56th Students' Conference on Linguistics (StuTS 56), University of Hamburg, Germany
Location: University of Hamburg, GermanyCosts: 30 EuroThe 'StUTS' is a biannually held Conference organized by and for students at different universities. Every semester, there are about 150 participants from various universities and colleges from all over Europe - anyone interested in linguistics can join.
The programme consists mainly of student talks - anyone (who wants to) is given the possibility to present their own project, research or paper, or give a language tutorial. Usually, a variety of different linguistic disciplines are present. Furthermore, there will be intriguing keynote presentations by professors from Hamburg University, and of course there will be time for some fun free-time activities, to get to know each other and also the beautiful city.
First and foremost, the conference offers the possibility to gather some experience in giving a scientific talk, to present and discuss your own ideas with interested peers, to get to know other related fields of linguistic research and to develop creative new approaches for the future.

10-14 November 2014, Workshop "Logics for Social Behaviour", Leiden, The Netherlands
Location: Leiden, The NetherlandsThis workshop is aimed at starting new scientific collaborations between (a) mathematical logicians using algebraic, topological and category-theoretic methods for nonclassical logics, and (b) researchers in social choice and judgment aggregation interested in applying logical methods.
While researchers in group (a) are mostly unfamiliar with social choice as a potential field of application of their specific results and techniques, researchers in group (b) have mostly been exposed to only a fragment of the available logical formalisms and techniques, namely to those pertaining to classical logic and model theory, and have largely not been exposed to the results and techniques in the area of group (a). The many possibilities for applying nonclassical logics and their surrounding mathematical theory (duality theory, algebraic, topological, and category-theoretic methods) to social choice and judgment aggregation form an uncharted research territory which the workshop aims at exploring.
Towards this goal, rather than displaying the standard organization, the present workshop is structured around three types of activities: tutorial sessions, discussion sessions and work sessions.
There is a limited number of places still available. If you are interested in participating in the workshop, please contact one of the organizers preferably no later than June 10, 2014. For more information, see http://www.lorentzcenter.nl/lc/web/2014/650/info.php3?wsid=650&venue=Oort.

24 October 2014, Workshop "Inconsistencies in Scientific Reasoning", Gent, Belgium
Location: Gent, Belgium"Inconsistencies in Scientific Reasoning" is a one day workshop organized by the Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science (CLPS) at Ghent University (http://logica.ugent.be/centrum). The workshop aims at exploring two closely related issues. First, the descriptive question, how frequent and how significant inconsistencies in scientific reasoning are. This gives rise to the second question, what normative conclusions we can draw from such historical analyses. The latter issue concerns the methodological standards of scientific inquiry, as well as the question whether classical logic is sufficient for the explication of scientific reasoning, or whether specific non-classical logics are needed to this end.

29 September 29 - 2 October 2014, Second International Wormshop on Proof Theory, Modal Logic and Reflection Principles, Mexico City
Location: Mexico CityCosts: Students and Postdocs $100/$130, others $160/$200 (early/late registration)The second edition of the conference series Proof Theory, Modal Logic and Reflection Principles (formerly Proof Theory and Modal Logic) will be held in Mexico City from September 29th to October 2nd 2014, following the first installment in Barcelona in 2012.
A recent approach to proof theory uses techniques from modal logic to compute the consistency strength of formal theories. As a result one obtains, among other benefits, semi-finitary consistency proofs in the spirit of the extended Hilbert's programme. This approach requires techniques from many disciplines; the aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in relevant fields in order to discuss recent advances and foster new collaborations.
The programme will include both tutorials and presentations of new results. Talks will be sparsely scheduled in order to allow ample time for discussion and collaboration.

18-20 September 2014, International Conference "Modal Epistemology and Metaphysics", Belgrade, Serbia
Location: Belgrade, SerbiaModal epistemology explores the possibilities and boundaries of our modal knowledge, primarily the knowledge of metaphysical possibility and of metaphysical necessity. Until recently, the dominant method of dealing with this topic consisted in investigating to what extent conceivability can be a guide for assessing metaphysical modality. However, nowadays what might be called abductivist turn has shifted the focus from conceivability to the sort of the evidential base regarding metaphysical modalities as such.
In view of the last fact, the aim of the conference is, on the one hand, to deepen our understanding of the nature of metaphysical modality in order to find out what is the evidential base that any good theory of modal epistemology should explain, and, on the other hand, to establish how flexible are competing theories of modal epistemology in explaining the nature of modal knowledge.
Entrance is free. For further information see https://sites.google.com/site/philosophyinbelgrade/events/future-events/ or contact Mr. Dusko Prelevic (dprelevic at yahoo.com) or Mr. Milos Arsenijevic (marsenij at f.bg.ac.rs).

12-13 July 2014, FLoC workshop on proof complexity, Vienna, Austria
Location: Vienna, AustriaProof complexity is the study of the complexity of theorem proving procedures. The central question in proof complexity is: given a theorem F and a proof system P, what is the size of the smallest proof of F in the system P? Moreover, how difficult is it to construct a small proof? Many ingenious techniques have been developed to try to answer these questions; and they bare tight relations to intricate theoretical questions from computational complexity (such as the celebrated P vs. NP problem), mathematical logic (e.g. separating theories of Bounded Arithmetic) as well as to practical problems in SAT solving.
The workshop will be part of the Vienna Summer of Logic and will be affiliated with the conferences SAT'14 and CSL/LICS'14.

9-10 July 2014, BELUX2 Colloquium: "Epistemic normative reasons", Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Location: Luxembourg, LuxembourgThe workshop is the second in a series of workshops, the BELUX Colloquia in Epistemology, that we organize in an alternating way at the KU Leuven and the University of Luxembourg.
We would like to investigate what normative epistemic reasons there might be and how we are to conceive of them, in a teleological or deontic or ... fashion. Talk of normative reasons in practical philosophy is quite well understood, to a certain extent. But normative epistemic reasons are not yet clarified equally well. How the concept(s) of normative epistemic reasons might be defined, and how these reasons might be explained, and explain other things, is the central question of this workshop.
Free admission, everybody welcome, but please register by sending an email to frank.hofmann at uni.lu. For more information, see http://philosophie.uni.lu/news_and_events.

This unique event will be organized by the Kurt Goedel Society at Vienna University of Technology from July 9 to 24, 2014
*Keynote Speakers* The VSL keynote speakers are Franz Baader (Technische Universitaet Dresden), Edmund Clarke (Carnegie Mellon University), Christos Papadimitriou (University of California, Berkeley) and Alex Wilkie (University of Manchester). Dana Scott (Carnegie Mellon University) will speak in the opening session.
At the Vienna Summer of Logic, the Kurt Goedel Society will award three fellowship prizes endowed with 100.000 Euro each to the winners of the Kurt Goedel Research Prize Fellowship Competition "Logical Mind: Connecting Foundations and Technology."
The Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) 2014 will host the 1st FLoC Olympic Games. Intended as a new FLoC tradition, the Games will bring together a multitude of established solver competitions by different research communities. In addition to the competitions, the Olympic Games will facilitate the exchange of expertise between communities, and increase the visibility and impact of state-of-the-art solver technology. The winners in the competition categories will be awarded Kurt Goedel medals at the FLoC Olympic Games award ceremonies.
To ensure that all the scientific and social meetings taking place in the course of the VSL can be conducted successfully, the organizers of the VSL are solliciting volunteers, to help with tasks such as the registration of the participants at the conference or assisting with the use of the technical infrastructure at the conference site. Volunteers may attend all the VSL conferences for free.

14 May 2014, The Significance of Phenomenology
Speaker: Franz Berto, Arianna Betti, Christian Skirke, Julian Kiverstein / Prof. Tim CraneTitle: Workshop on Tim Crane's The Objects of Thought / Lecture by Prof. Tim CraneLocation: Belle van Zuylenzaal / Doelenzaal, UBA (University Library), Singel 425, AmsterdamCosts: NoneCrane's The Objects of Thought takes as its starting part the truism that some of the objects we can think about do not exist. This truism however raises a number of ontological puzzles. What is it that we are thinking about when we think about entities that do not exist? Crane defends two seemingly incompatible claims. On the one hand, he argues that reality contains only what exists, and since non-existent entities do not exist, there is no room in reality for non-existents. Crane also argues that we can make true claims about entities that do not exist – we can correctly predicate properties of non-existent entities like Pegasus and Sherlock Holmes. The remainder of the book consists of characteristically careful argument demonstrating how one can, and indeed should, hold both these claims.
The workshop will feature lectures by Franz Berto, Arianna Betti, Christian Skirke, Julian Kiverstein, plus presentations from graduate students, and will be followed by a lecture from Prof. Cranehave as speakers be followed by a lecture from Prof Crane titled "Intentional Identity Revisited"

9 May 2014, Descriptive Set Theory, Lausanne, Switzerland
Location: Lausanne, SwitzerlandThe Swiss Graduate Society of Logic and Philosophy of Science (SGSLPS) organises a one-day conference on Descriptive Set Theory on May 9 in Lausanne (Switzerland).
Descriptive Set Theory is the study of the sets of reals that can be explicitly defined or constructed, and so can be expected to have certain properties, such as Lebesgue Measurability, not enjoyed by arbitrary sets. It is a central part of contemporary Set Theory and therefore dealing with major logical concepts, such as definability and undecidability. Prof. Andretta (Universita di Torino) will provide the audience with a gentle introduction to Descriptive Set Theory and its interactions with other parts of mathematics. Prof. Duparc (Université de Lausanne) will then focus on infinite games, a major technique in this field.

20-31 January 2014, Workshop & Tutorials "Representing Streams II", Leiden, the Netherlands
Location: Leiden, the NetherlandsCosts: FreeStreams are infinite sequences of symbols that are studied by both mathematicians and computer scientists. Mathematicians are motivated by combinatorial problems that arise from number theory or probability. Computer scientists are motivated by specifying and reasoning about infinite data types and ongoing computations. The workshop will bring together researchers from both disciplines with the aim to learn from each other, exchange ideas and establish collaborations.
Representing Streams II will consist of a tutorial week(January 20-24) and a workshop week (January 27-31). There will be ample time for participants to cooperate on open problems. The goal is not necessarily to solve all of them, but rather learning from each other's approach to these problems.

9 May 2014, PhD defense, Lodewijk Muns
Title: Classical Music and the Language AnalogyLocation: Institut für Musikwissenschaft und Medienwissenschaft der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Am Kupfergraben 5, Berlin.Promotor: Hermann Danuser and Remko SchaThis thesis investigates the relation between language and Western classical music. It argues that the linguistic notions of syntax, discourse, and quotation are relevant for an understanding of this musical style. It also observes that both music and language display hierarchical structures that may be described as recursive. This perspective allows the theorist to reduce complexity to underlying uniformity – but it may also give rise to false abstractions, and to theoretical constructs of dubious explanatory value. This is observed in the musical theories of Hugo Riemann, Heinrich Schenker, and, most recently, Lerdahl & Jackendoff, as well as in Noam Chomsky's linguistic Minimalism.

BEER@ILLC-UvA Best at WMT 2014
The BEER@ILLC-UvA metric (Miloš Stanojević and Khalil Sima'an) for evaluating Machine Translation system output (per sentence) obtains a top position in the recent international competition WMT2014.
The WMT2014 competition is a yearly international competition both for MT systems and evaluation metrics where a large number of research teams showcase their research findings in terms of system performance on a real-world task. For MT evaluation, the challenge is to produce an automatic evaluation metric that ranks different translations by different systems of every input sentence according to quality. Success is measured by statistical correlation against human judgements of the same system outputs.
The BEER@ILLC-UvA metric introduces a new statistical approach for MT evaluation based on an linear interpolation of adequacy and fluency features. Particularly, the fluency features are mostly based on a novel permutation factorization approach. The BEER@ILLC-UvA metric won the first place (from 16 submissions) in evaluating translations from English into six languages (French, Spanish, Russian, Czech, German, Hindi), and it won the second place in translating from these six languages into English.
For more details contact Milos Stanojevic and Khalil Sima'an.

Postdoctoral researcher 'Legal Structures'
The 'Digging into Data project 'Legal Structures' is a joint project with Washington University (US) and the University of Amsterdam: Faculty of Humanities (ILLC) and Faculty of Law (ACLE). This postdoctoral project attempts to analyze the world's legal codes by focuses on machine coding of internal references in codes and laws. The intuition behind this approach is that fundamental differences among legal systems manifest themselves in the structure of the texts, and can be detected, parameterized, and visualized using computerized algorithms.
The project is looking for a postdoctoral researcher with an MA, MSc and PhD relevant to the subject, good programming experience, a background in computer science or artificial intelligence, and an interest in empirical legal studies and/or digital humanities. The postdoctoral researcher may be asked to do a limited amount of teaching, but no more than one class a week during one semester per academic year.

PhD candidate in Semantics, Pragmatics and Cognition
The ILLC has a PhD position available. The position is part of the larger Dutch research consortium 'Language in Interaction', which brings together researchers from nine different research institutions in the Netherlands, with complementary expertise in a highly interdisciplinary area of research. This PhD project will be supervised by Prof. Dr. Robert van Rooij (ILLC) and Prof. Dr. Herbert Schriefers (Donders Institute, Radboud University Nijmegen), assisted by Dr. Jakub Szymanik (ILLC).
A vague term like `big' can be easily used and processed when there is a clear gap between bigger and smaller objects. The PhD project will test the hypothesis that a gap in distribution is the default criterion used in the processing of vague words in classificatory tasks, but that other criteria might also come into play. Secondly, the project will test whether a similar default exists for the processing of quantity expressions like `most': use the approximate number system, if there is a gap, and precise counting otherwise. The ultimate goal is a unified theory of the processing of vague expressions.
Application deadline: 2 February 2014. For more information, see here.

Postdoc position at KTH Royal Institute of Technology
The Theory Group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology invites applications for a postdoctoral position in computational complexity and/or SAT solving.
The postdoctoral researcher will be working in the research group of Jakob Nordstrom. Much of the activities of this group revolve around the themes of proof complexity and SAT solving. On the theoretical side, proof complexity has turned out to have deep, and sometimes surprising, connections to other topics such as, e.g., circuit complexity, communication complexity, and hardness of approximation, and therefore researchers in these or other related areas are more than welcome to apply. On the practical side, some interesting problems are to gain a better understanding of the performance of current state-of-the-art SAT solvers --- in particular, solvers using conflict-driven clause learning (CDCL) --- and to explore techniques that would go beyond CDCL, such as approaches based on algebraic or geometric reasoning.
The research project is financed by a Breakthrough Research Grant from the Swedish Research Council and a Starting Independent Researcher Grant from the European Research Council. In addition to the research group leader, the group currently consists of one postdoc and four PhD students. Travel funding is included, and the group also receives short-term and long-term visitors on a regular basis.
This is a full-time employed position for one year with a possible one-year extension. The successful candidate is expected to start in August-September 2015, although this is to some extent negotiable.
The application deadline is January 25, 2015. More information and instructions how to apply can be found at http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn/openings/D-2014-0761-Eng.php . Informal enquiries are welcome and may be sent to Jakob Nordstrom.

Assistant professorship in philosophy of mind, Bochum (Germany)
The Department of Philosophy II at Ruhr Universität Bochum is offering a full-time postdoctoral position (comparable to an assistant professorship), beginning on 1st April 2015, with a limited tenure of three years, renewable for a further three.
The position is installed to foster the research of young postdocs who have already proven to be excellent in publications. It offers the opportunity to develop one's own research project and research profile in the area of philosophy of mind, language or cognition. For the candidate who would later like to continue their career path within the German system, there will be the possibility to reach the degree of a "Habilitation". Beside the scientific aspects of this position, there is also the assignment to teach two courses each semester.
The candidate's research should be connected with some of the current research projects. This includes a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research in the area of philosophy of mind. Part of the job will be also to support the organization of the Center for Mind, Brain and Cognitive Evolution. Preferable but not mandatory for this position is a competency in the area of philosophy of language, e.g. theory of concepts or semantics of singular terms and propositional attitudes. Candidates who have evidently engaged in some in-depth research in both philosophy of mind with very good knowledge in neurosciences and some expertise in experimental philosophy will be of particular interest for this vacancy.
Deadline of application: 15th of December 2014. For more information, see http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/philosophy/staff/newen/download/ or contact Prof. Dr. A. Newen (albert.newen at rub.de).

Postdoctoral position on "Ontology after Quine", Hamburg (Germany)
The University of Hamburg offers a postdoctoral research position in association with the Emmy Noether Research Group "Ontologie nach Quine", which is based in the Department of Philosophy and led by Richard Woodward.
The Research Group began in July 2013 and will run until July 2018. Its official title translates as "Ontology after Quine: Fictionalism and Fundamentality" and, as its name suggests, the Group's research Project focuses on issues in metametaphysics and metaontology, set against the historical backdrop of the Quine-Carnap debate about the respectability of ontological inquiry. The remit of the project is thus broad, incorporating not only issues in first- and second-order metaphysics and ontology, but also connected issu
