DESCRIPTION:ICLA 2027 is the 12th edition of the b
 iennial conference organised by the Association fo
 r Logic in India (ALI). It serves as a forum that 
 brings together researchers from a variety of disc
 iplines in which formal logic plays a significant,
  and often foundational, role, including Mathemati
 cs, Computer Science, Philosophy, Linguistics, and
  Cognitive Science. A distinctive feature of ICLA 
 is its inclusion of research on systems of logic i
 n the Indian tradition, as well as historical stud
 ies of logic.  Authors are invited to submit paper
 s presenting original and unpublished research in 
 any area of logic and its applications. Submission
 s must be written in English and should provide su
 fficient detail to enable the Programme Committee 
 to assess the merits of the work.
