  • (Updated) Special Issue of Acta Informatica on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis

    Deadline: Wednesday 1 April 2026

    The aim of this special issue is to collect state of the art research on Constrained Horn Clauses (CHCs). Many program verification and synthesis problems of interest can be modeled directly using Horn clauses, and many recent advances in Constrained Logic Programming and Computer Aided Verification have centered around efficiently solving problems presented as Horn clauses. Thus, CHCs are an enabling technology for state of the art verification and synthesis techniques. CHCs are relevant for several communities like Constraint / Logic Programming, Program Verification, and Automated Deduction.

    Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the use of Horn clauses, constraints, and related formalisms in the following areas: - Analysis and verification of programs and systems of various kinds (e.g., imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, higher-order, concurrent, transition systems, petri-nets, smart contracts) - Program synthesis - Program testing - Program transformation - Constraint solving - Type systems - Machine learning and automated reasoning - CHC encoding of analysis and verification problems - Resource analysis - Case studies and tools - Challenging problems.

  • (New) 18 - 19 July 2026, LCC 2026 – 16th Intl. Workshop on Logic and Computational Complexity, Lisbon [PT]

    Date: 18 - 19 July 2026
    Location: Lisbon [PT]
    Deadline: Sunday 10 May 2026

    LCC meetings are aimed at the foundational interconnections between logic and computational complexity, as present, for example, in implicit computational complexity (descriptive and type-theoretic methods); deductive formalisms as they relate to complexity (e.g. ramification, weak comprehension, bounded arithmetic, linear logic and resource logics); complexity aspects of finite model theory and databases; complexity-mindful program derivation and verification; computational complexity at higher type; and proof complexity. 

    This year's edition is a part of the Federated Logic Conference FLoC’26.

    LCC meetings are aimed at the foundational interconnections between logic and computational complexity.

    Welcomed are submissions of abstracts based on work which may be submitted or published elsewhere, provided that all pertinent information is disclosed at submission time. There will be no formal reviewing as is usually understood in peer-reviewed conferences with published proceedings. The program committee checks relevance and may provide additional feedback.

  • (New) 18 July 2026, Structure Meets Power 2026 (LICS Workshop @ FLoC), Lisbon [PT] and online

    Date: Saturday 18 July 2026
    Location: Lisbon [PT] and online
    Deadline: Friday 15 May 2026

    There is a remarkable divide in the field of Logic in Computer Science between two distinct strands: one focuses on semantics and compositionality (“Structure”), the other on expressiveness and complexity (“Power”). These two traditions are studied by almost disjoint research communities using distinct technical languages and methods. We believe that bringing these communities and research fields together is an important objective for Computer Science, which may hold the key to fundamental advances in the field.

    The aim of this workshop is to attract researchers working at the boundary of these two strands, as well as those on either side of the divide who are interested in establishing new connections.

    Researchers wishing to give a talk at the workshop are invited to submit an extended abstract of up to three pages (excluding references) describing the key points of the proposed presentation on the topics of semantics and/or compositionality in the field of Logic in Computer Science. 

    Submissions at all stages of development are invited, including novel contributions, previously published work, work in progress, and survey-style presentations. Depending on the number of submissions, contributed talks will be 20–30 minutes in length.

  • 21 - 23 September 2026, CiLD 2026: Construal in Language and Discourse, University of Łódź [PL]

    Date: 21 - 23 September 2026
    Location: University of Łódź [PL]
    Deadline: Sunday 31 May 2026

    The conference will focus on construal in linguistics, encompassing, though not limited to, cognitive linguistics, forensics, discourse studies, pragmatics, social interaction, narrative, storytelling, and literature. By bringing all these approaches together, the conference aims to establish construal as a unifying concept for understanding meaning in language and discourse.

    The conference adopts a flexible view of the relationship between construal and linguistic expression/coding. Construal refers broadly to how events, participants, relations, inferences, evaluations, and temporal structures are conceptualised, framed, and made salient, while verbal and non-verbal resources—lexical, grammatical, prosodic, gestural, visual, and multimodal—are among the means through which such construals are communicated and negotiated in discourse.

     

    CiLD invited papers on these topics (and their sub-topics): Cognitive Linguistics; Discourse, Pragmatics & Narrative; Sociology & Social Interaction; and Narrative, Storytelling & Literature. The abstracts for individual papers (20-minute presentation + 10-minute discussion) should be max. 200 words long, in English and accompanied by a short biographical note (max. 100 words) and 3–5 keywords.

    See the official website for more information and the submission form.

    Date: 11 - 12 April 2026
    Location: Turin [IT]

    In more than a decade of research, it has been established that a wide variety of state-based dynamical systems, like transition systems, automata (including weighted and probabilistic variants), Markov chains, and game-based systems, can be treated uniformly as coalgebras. Coalgebra has developed into a field of its own interest presenting a deep mathematical foundation, a growing field of applications, and interactions with various other fields such as reactive and interactive system theory, object-oriented and concurrent programming, formal system specification, modal and description logics, artificial intelligence, dynamical systems, control systems, category theory, algebra, analysis, etc.

    The aim of the CMCS workshops is to bring together researchers with a common interest in the theory of coalgebras, their logics, and their applications. As the workshop serie strives to maintain breadth in its scope, participation by researchers in neighbouring areas is strongly encouraged.

  • 20 - 23 July 2026, 23rd Int. Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2026), Lisbon, Portugal

    Date: 20 - 23 July 2026
    Location: Lisbon, Portugal

    Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a well-established and vibrant field of research within Artificial Intelligence. KR builds on the fundamental thesis that knowledge can often be represented in an explicit declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated symbolic reasoning engines. This enables the exploitation of knowledge that would otherwise be implicit through semantically grounded inference mechanisms. KR has contributed to the theory and practice of various areas of AI, including agents, automated planning, robotics and natural language processing, and to fields beyond AI, including data management, semantic web, verification, software engineering, computational biology, and cybersecurity.

    The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely, in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and practice of the representation and computational management of knowledge. 

    KR2026 will be part of the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC 2026).
