1-4 April 2014, Second Symposium on History and Philosophy of Programming (HaPoP 2), London, U.K.
A 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.
For more information, see http://www.computing-conference.ugent.be/hapop2.
The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Full paper submission deadline: 3 January 2014.
13 January - 14 February 2014, Mathematical Structures of Computation, Lyon, France
The weeks Mathematical Structures of Computation are a scientific programme organized in Lyon. The central theme of this five-weeks session is the notion of computation. It will be developed under several aspects: algebraic computation, certified numeric computation, execution of concurrent processes, etc. We illustrate this crossed enrichment between Mathematics and Computer Science through five workshops about of these expanding research fields.
Registration for one or several of these workshops is free, but recommended, and can be performed until January 4th, 2014. For more information, see http://smc2014.univ-lyon1.fr/

13-16 January 2014, Modeling experiencers in natural language semantics (ISLA 2014 workshop), Tezpur, India
There 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.

The aim of the Workshop is to promote mutual understandings among researchers on logic working in Asian countries, and to establish closer collaborations in future. The scope of the Workshop will cover: philosophical logic, non-classical logics, algebraic logic, and their applications in computer science and cognitive science.
Further information about the conference can be find here: http://logic.sysu.edu.cn/AWPL2014/.
All researchers working on various aspects of philosophical logic are cordially invited to submit their papers by the submission deadline of January 20th, 2014.
8-11 July 2014, Trends in Logic XIV "The Road Less Travelled: Off-stream applications of formal methods", Ghent, Belgium
Trends 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.
For more information, see http://entiaetnomina.blogspot.be/p/trends-in-logic-xiv.html.
The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Submission Deadline (extended): January 20th, 2014.

Streams 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.

27-28 January 2014, AISB Workshop on Modelling Organisational Behaviour and Social Agency, Bournemouth, U.K.
The 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.

27-30 January 2014, 4th Bar-Ilan Winter School on Cryptography: Symmetric Encryption in Theory and in Practice, Tel Aviv, Israel
The winter school will study symmetric encryption in theory and in practice. The school will include a study of the theoretical foundations of symmetric encryption on the one hand, and practical constructions and cryptanalysis on the other hand. These two topics will provide a broad basis for all participants. The school will then proceed to study advanced constructions like tweakable block ciphers, format preserving encryption, disk encryption and advanced types of authenticated encryption. Finally, the school will conclude with advanced and recent attacks on symmetric encryption in SSL/TLS, IPsec, SSH and more. The school program includes approximately 24 hours of lectures and a social dinner.
The target audience for the school is graduate students and postdocs in cryptography (we will assume that participants have taken at least one university-level course in cryptography). However, faculty, undergrads and professionals with the necessary background are all welcome. The winter school is open to participants from all over the world; all talks will be in English.
Participation is free, but registration is required. Please register by December 15, 2013. For more information, see http://crypto.biu.ac.il/winterschool2014/

1-2 April 2014, Norms, Actions, Games (NAG 2014), London, U.K.
In 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).

Contributors are invited to send full papers (suitable for presenting as a 40 minute talk) by Friday, January 31, 2014.
29-31 May 2014, First international conference of the Italian Network for the Philosophy of Mathematics (FilMat), Milan, Italy
The FilMat network originates from two interconnected needs: to establish and foster exchanges between Italian scholars working in the philosophy of mathematics and strictly related fields, either in Italy or abroad, with special attention to those at early stages of their careers; and to support the relationships between the Italian community and international scholars.
In order to contribute to this process of establishment, the network is now promoting its first international conference, in the hope this will become a regular meeting for Italian and international researchers. The conference will give the opportunity to keep the attention on this field alive at national level, and to make the Italian research community even more visible internationally.
For more information, see http://www.unisr.it/filosofia/filmat
We expect to host up to 16 contributed talks by speakers of any nationalities by double-blind review. Submissions of original contributions are invited in any area of philosophy of mathematics connected with the issues of objectivity, cognition, and proof. Submissions by young scholars are especially welcome. Deadline for submission is January 31, 2014.
13 January - 14 February 2014, Mathematical Structures of Computation, Lyon, France
The weeks Mathematical Structures of Computation are a scientific programme organized in Lyon. The central theme of this five-weeks session is the notion of computation. It will be developed under several aspects: algebraic computation, certified numeric computation, execution of concurrent processes, etc. We illustrate this crossed enrichment between Mathematics and Computer Science through five workshops about of these expanding research fields.
Registration for one or several of these workshops is free, but recommended, and can be performed until January 4th, 2014. For more information, see http://smc2014.univ-lyon1.fr/
20-31 January 2014, Workshop & Tutorials "Representing Streams II", Leiden, the Netherlands
Streams 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.
