24 - 25 July 2026, CI-BD-SOQE 2026: Workshop on Craig Interpolation, Beth Definability, and Second-Order Quantifier Elimination, Lisbon [PT]

Date: 24 - 25 July 2026
Location: Lisbon [PT]
Deadline: Monday 4 May 2026

Broadly viewed, Craig Interpolation (CI), Beth Definability (BD), and Second-Order Quantifier Elimination (SOQE) concern the existence and computation of formulas that capture consequences or logical constraints under some syntactic restrictions. Since such existence/computation questions arise in many areas of computer science, CI, BD, and SOQE have been thoroughly investigated by different communities, which has led to a large number of results, from foundational issues to practical applications. Relevant fields include proof theory, model theory, proof complexity, automated reasoning, automata theory, knowledge representation, program verification and databases as well as philosophy and linguistics.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from the many relevant fields to exchange experiences and findings about approaches, techniques, ongoing research and important open problems. We strongly believe that CI, BD, and SOQE – beyond sharing a similar historical background – offer a common basis for fruitful cross-disciplinary exchange.

CI-BD-SOQE continues a series of previous workshops on Craig Interpolation, Beth Definability, and Second-Order Quantifier Elimination. Contributions shall be in the form of original research (full papers or extended abstracts) and abstracts of previously published research. If selected, at least one author is expected to present their work in person at the conference.

RuleML+RR 2026 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the foundations and applications of rules and reasoning.  

This year's edition will be co-located with several events as part of 

 

The International Joint Conference on Rules and Reasoning (RuleML+RR) is the leading venue in the field of rule-based reasoning. Stemming from the synergy between the well-known RuleML and RR events, it provides a forum for stimulating cooperation between different communities focused on the research, development, and applications of rule-based systems. 

The RuleML+RR 2026 conference is part of the event “Declarative AI: Rules, Reasoning, Decisions, and Explanations” and is co-located with DecisionCAMP 2026 and the Reasoning Web Summer School 2026.

Two types of contributions are welcome: short papers (max. 8 pages) and long papers (max. 15 pages). Long papers should present original and significant research and/or development results. Short papers should concisely describe general results or specific applications, systems, or position statements.

This year, contributions at the intersection of databases and AI, reflecting the growing importance of data-centric and hybrid approaches to rule-based reasoning are particularly encouraged.

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.

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.
