22 - 23 March 2018, Fourth Symposium on the History and Philosophy of Programming (HaPoP 4), Oxford, England

Date: 22 - 23 March 2018
Location: Oxford, England
Deadline: Monday 1 January 2018

In a society where computers have become ubiquitous, it is necessary to develop a deeper understanding of the nature of computer programs, not just from the technical viewpoint, but from a broader historical and philosophical perspective.

A historical awareness of the evolution of programming not only helps to clarify the complex structure of computing, but it also provides an insight in what programming was, is and could be in the future. Philosophy, on the other hand, helps to tackle fundamental questions about the nature of programs, programming languages and programming as a discipline.

An interdisciplinary approach is necessary for understanding programming with its multifaceted nature. As such, we welcome participation by researchers and practitioners coming from a diversity of backgrounds, including historians, philosophers, computer scientists and professional software developers.

For the symposium, we invite submission of two-page extended abstracts (including footnotes, but excluding references). Accepted papers will be given a 30 minute presentation slot including discussion. We intend to publish selected papers in a special journal issue following the symposium.

In addition to submissions in a wide range of areas traditional for HaPoP (outlined below), we especially welcome submissions that explore the nature of scientific progress with respect to computer programming as a discipline. We are interested in investigations concerning the methodology of computer programming, whether it follows a form of scientific method that allows it to increase its problem solving ability, whether its development more is akin to science, engineering or rather art, and what examples from the history of programming can be provided to support either argument.

9 - 12 July 2018, Third International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD'18), Oxford, England

Date: 9 - 12 July 2018
Location: Oxford, England
Deadline: Monday 15 January 2018

FSCD covers all aspects of formal structures for computation and deduction from theoretical foundations to applications. Building on two communities, RTA (Rewriting Techniques and Applications) and TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications), FSCD embraces their core topics and broadens their scope to closely related areas in logics, proof theory and new emerging models of computation such as quantum computing or homotopy type theory. FSCD'18 is part of The Federated Logic Conference, FLoC 2018.

Submissions can be made in two categories: Regular research papers (presenting original research which is unpublished and not submitted elsewhere) and system descriptions (presenting new software tools in which FSCD topics play an important role, or significantly new versions of such tools). Suggested, but not exclusive, list of topics for submission are: Calculi, Methods in Computation and Deduction, Semantics, Algorithmic Analysis and Transformations of Formal Systems, and Tools and Applications.

The program committee will consider declaring an award to a paper in which at least one author is a junior researcher, i.e. either a student or whose PhD award date is less than three years from the first day of the meeting.

12 May 2018, Workshop on Replicability and Reproducibility of Research Results in Science and Technology of Language (4REAL Workshop 2018), Miyazaki, Japan

Date: Saturday 12 May 2018
Location: Miyazaki, Japan
Deadline: Monday 15 January 2018

Reproduction and replication of research results are at the heart of the validation of scientific knowledge and of the scientific endeavor. But despite their key importance, reproduction and replication have not been sufficiently encouraged given the prevailing procedures and priorities for the reviewing, selection and publication of research results. This workshop seeks to foster the discussion and the advancement on a topic that has been given insufficient attention in the research area of language processing tools and resources and that has been an important topic emerging in other scientific areas. The workshop will be collocated with LREC 2018 11th Language Resources and Evaluation Conference.

We are nviting submissions of articles that present cases, either with positive or negative results, of actual replication or reproduction exercises of previous published results in our area. We are interested also in articles discussing the challenges, the risk factors, the appropriate procedures, etc. specific to our area or that should be adopted, or adapted from other neighboring areas, including methodologies for monitoring, maintaining or improving citation of language resources and tools and to assess the importance of data citation for research integrity. This includes also of course the new risks raised by the replication articles themselves and their own integrity, in view of the preservation of the reputation of colleagues and works whose results are reported has having been replicated, etc.

16 - 18 January 2018, Special Session on Natural Language Processing in Artificial Intelligence (NLPinAI 2018) at ICAART 2018, Funchal, Madeira - Portugal

Date: 16 - 18 January 2018
Location: Funchal, Madeira - Portugal
Deadline: Tuesday 7 November 2017

Computational and technological developments that incorporate natural language are proliferating. Adequate coverage encounters difficult problems related to partiality, underspecification, and context-dependency, which are signature features of information in nature and natural languages. Furthermore, agents (humans or computational systems) are information conveyors, interpreters, or participate as components of informational content. Generally, language processing depends on agents' knowledge, reasoning, perspectives, and interactions.

The session covers theoretical work, advanced applications, approaches, and techniques for computational models of information and its presentation by language (artificial, human, or natural in other ways). The goal is to promote intelligent natural language processing and related models of thought, mental states, reasoning, and other cognitive processes.

Date: 20 - 22 June 2018
Location: Toledo, Spain
Deadline: Monday 29 January 2018

Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the last decade and many effective applications of this technology are now deployed. PAAMS intends to bring together researchers and developers from industry and the academic world to report on the latest scientific and technical advances on the application of multi-agent systems, to discuss and debate the major issues, and to showcase the latest systems using agent based technology. It will promote a forum for discussion on how agent-based techniques, methods, and tools help system designers to accomplish the mapping between available agent technology and application needs.

14 March 2018, Logic(s) for Imagination, Bochum, Germany

Date: Wednesday 14 March 2018
Location: Bochum, Germany

On the 14th March 2018, there will be a workshop "Logics for Imagination" affiliated with the conference "Philosophy of imagination". It aims to explore and compare different ways to model the logic of imagination, addressing among other things, modelling acts of imagination as a non-normal modal operator, ceteris paribus imagination, the role of agency, the interpretation of normal modalities as imagination and/or conceivability modalities, and first-order extensions of existing logics for imagination.

The speakers are: Christopher Badura, Lisa Benossi, Francesco Berto, Joan Casas Roma, Joan Gimeno Simó, Dominik Kauss, Pierre Saint-Germier and Heinrich Wansing.

There are some slots available for contributed talks and it is my pleasure to invite submissions for those. Please send your abstract to with subject LOGIC. Abstracts should not exceed 3000 words (incl. references). Accepted authors will give a talk of about 20 minutes followed by a short discussion.

For more information, contact Christopher Badura at .

9 - 12 July 2018, Twenty-first International Conference on Theory & Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2018), Oxford, England

Date: 9 - 12 July 2018
Location: Oxford, England
Deadline: Wednesday 31 January 2018

The International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT) is the premier annual meeting for researchers focusing on the theory and applications of the propositional satisfiability problem, broadly construed. In addition to plain propositional satisfiability, it also includes Boolean optimization (such as MaxSAT and Pseudo-Boolean (PB) constraints), Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF), Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT), and Constraint Programming (CP) for problems with clear connections to Boolean-level reasoning. SAT 2018 will take place as part of the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) in Oxford.

SAT 2018 welcomes scientific contributions addressing different aspects of the satisfiability problem, interpreted in a broad sense. including (but not restricted to) theoretical advances (such as exact algorithms, proof complexity, and other complexity issues), practical search algorithms, knowledge compilation, implementation-level details of SAT solvers and SAT-based systems, problem encodings and reformulations, applications (including both novel application domains and improvements to existing approaches), as well as case studies and reports on findings based on rigorous experimentation.

Submissions to SAT 2018 are solicited in three paper categories, describing original contributions: long papers, short papers and tool papers. Long and short papers should contain original research, with sufficient detail to assess the merits and relevance of the contribution. A tool paper should describe an implemented tool and its novel features.
