SUMMARY:LICS Workshop "LogTeach-22: Why & how to t
 each logic for CS undergraduates?", Haifa, Israel
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220731

LOCATION:Haifa, Israel
DESCRIPTION:Logic is one of the pillars of the fou
 ndation of Computer Science, together with Algorit
 hmic Mathematics, Information Theory, and Electron
 ics. Consequently various versions of Logic course
 s used to be part of the undergraduate syllabus of
  Computer Science. However, as witnessed by the va
 riety of conferences related to Logic present at t
 he FLoC event, the emphasis has moved from the fou
 ndation to applications of Logic in Computer Scien
 ce. Each of these conferences deal with topics sui
 table for advanced undergraduate and graduate cour
 ses, which require some Logic based prerequisite. 
 On the other hand, Logic courses in the undergradu
 ate syllabus have been forced to make place for co
 urses deemed more suitable for the education of fu
 ture specialists and practitioners working in IT. 
 Many of the top Universities worldwide have droppe
 d foundational Logic courses for undergraduates fo
 r more practical oriented courses, turning undergr
 aduate CS programs into programs more suitable for
  what used to be vocational colleges and professio
 nal schools.  Time has come to critically reflect 
 upon and reevaluate the role of Logic in the under
 graduate syllabus. It seems clear that the classic
 al Logic in CS courses have no place there anymore
 . They seem to teach and emphasize the wrong narra
 tive of logic as taught by tradition. However, it 
 seems also clear that eliminating Logic courses al
 l together is counter productive. The purpose of t
 he workshop is the prepare a proposal for a logic 
 course Logic-2020 which is useful and acceptable f
 or University undergraduates in CS, and which can 
 serve as a prerequisite for the many diverse branc
 hes of applied logic.  We plan to have presentatio
 ns of position papers (30 minutes, including discu
 ssion). All papers must be original and not simult
 aneously submitted to another journal or conferenc
 e. The following paper categories are welcome: Ful
 l papers discussing the purpose of teaching Logic 
 for CS undergraduatesPosition paper proposing a sy
 llabus for  teaching Logic for CS undergraduates, 
 as one course, within several compulsory courses, 
 or arguing for dropping logic all together.
