31 Jan-4 February 2011, Computability, Complexity and Randomness (CCR 2011), Cape Town, South Africa
The conference CCR, also known as conference on Logic, Computability and Randomness, will be in the tradition of the previous meetings in Córdoba (Argentina) 2004, Buenos Aires (Argentina) 2007, Nanjing (China) 2008, Luminy (France) 2009 and Notre Dame (USA) 2010. Topics include Algorithmic randomness, Computability theory, Kolmogorov complexity, Computational complexity and Reverse mathematics and logic
For more information, see http://cca-net.de/ccr2011/. CCR-2011 is co-located with CCA-2011.
31 Jan-4 February 2011, Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2011), Cape Town, South Africa
The conference is concerned with the theory of computability and complexity over real-valued data.
Computability and complexity theory are two central areas of research in mathematical logic and theoretical computer science. Computability theory is the study of the limitations and abilities of computers in principle. Computational complexity theory provides a framework for understanding the cost of solving computational problems, as measured by the requirement for resources such as time and space. The classical approach in these areas is to consider algorithms as operating on finite strings of symbols from a finite alphabet. Such strings may represent various discrete objects such as integers or algebraic expressions, but cannot represent general real or complex numbers, unless they are rounded.
Most mathematical models in physics and engineering, however, are based on the real number concept. Thus, a computability theory and a complexity theory over the real numbers and over more general continuous data structures is needed. Despite remarkable progress in recent years many important fundamental problems have not yet been studied, and presumably numerous unexpected and surprising results are waiting to be discovered.

13-15 July 2011, 13th International Rhythm Perception and Production Workshop, Leipzig, Germany
RPPW13 will be held at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany. This event continues the tradition of workshops catering for those engaged in the scientific study of rhythm perception and production. The three-day workshop will include invited spoken presentations and posters. Spoken presentations will be held in a single stream, and posters will be displayed during two poster sessions. As with past RPPWs, the number of participants will be limited in order to facilitate lively interaction and discussion. We plan to have around 80 presenters (30 spoken presentations and 40-50 posters).
Previous meetings have been held in France, Ireland, Belgium, England, the Netherlands, and Germany. The last workshop to be held in Germany took place at Ohlstadt in 1996. We are delighted to welcome the RPPW community to Leipzig in 2011.

4-6 July 2011, First International Meeting of the International Association for Computing and Philosophy (IACAP 2011), Aarhus, Denmark
The conference theme is "The Computational Turn: Past, Presents, Futures?" In part, the phrase "the computational turn" refers to the multiple ways in which the increasing availability and usability of computers allowed philosophers to explore a range of traditional philosophical interests in new ways, often shedding significant new light on traditional issues and arguments. Simultaneously, computer scientists, mathematicians, and others whose work focused on computation and computational devices often found their work to evoke (if not force) reflection and debate precisely on the philosophical assumptions and potential implications of their research. These two large streams of development inspired what became the first of the Computing and Philosophy (CAP) conferences in 1986 (devoted to Computer-Assisted Instruction in philosophy). Since 1986, CAP conferences have grown in scope and range, to include a bewildering array of intersections between computation and philosophy as explored across a global range of cultures and traditions.
For more information, see http://www.imv.au.dk/en/iacap/ and http://www.ia-cap.org/conferences.php.
In keeping with what has now become a significant tradition, IACAP'11 invites presentations across this array and range. At the same time, in order to recognize and celebrate the 25th anniversary of the CAP conferences, we specifically encourage submissions that include attention to the past, present(s), and possible future(s) of their foci as expressions of this computational turn. Submissions are due February 15, 2011.
8-12 August 2011, ESSLLI-2011 Workshop "Logical Constants", Ljubljana, Slovenia
All logical systems make a distinction between logical and non-logical symbols, and the meaning of the former needs to be specified in detail and in effect defines the logic in question. This distinction is usually stipulated (though it can be argued that natural languages make a similar distinction), but the issue of the grounds for it, i.e. of what characterizes a logical constant, is a central question in logic, cutting across the huge variety of logical systems existing today. This question has been tackled from various sides, ranging from historical investigation to formal criteria spelled out within different logical frameworks. The main aim of this ESSLLI-2001 workshop is to gain a better understanding of the problem by bringing together complementary approaches coming from various fields, namely logic, philosophy of logic and mathematics, linguistics and the history of logic.
For more information, see http://lumiere.ens.fr/~dbonnay/files/conference/logicalconstants.htm.
Deadline for submission: Feb 15 2011. Notification to authors: March 15 2011. Submissions should consist of anonymous abstracts of no more than 3 pages, single-spaced, 12pt, including title and references (preferred formats for submission are pdf and Word). Abstracts should be sent electronically to: logicalconstants2011 at gmail.com
8-12 August 2011, ESSLLI-2011 workshop 'Proper Use of Quantification in Ordinary Language' (PUQOL), Ljubljana, Slovenia
In Generalized Quantifier Theory (GQT) and Discourse Representation Theory (DRT), many quantifiers are semantically identical to one another: most and more than half; at least three, more than two and three; and about 100 and some 100. Even when there is no identity, the meanings of quantifiers overlap, and many quantifiers could be used truthfully to describe the same situation. Nevertheless, the choice of a specific quantifier by a speaker has semantic and pragmatic consequences, and listeners are sensitive to the subtleties of a speaker's choice. The goal of a theory of quantifier use is an account of how speakers choose one of the many true quantifiers and how listeners interpret a speaker's choice. The PUQOL workshop aims to bring together current research within semantics, logic, pragmatics, and cognitive science that addresses quantifier use within the perspective of model theoretic semantics and pragmatics.
PUQOL will take place as part of the 23rd European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI 2011).
For more information, see http://www.zas.gwz-berlin.de/workshop_puqol.html
Abstracts are invited for 30-minute talks (including discussion) on any topic relating to the theme of quantifier use. Submission deadline: February 15, 2011
24-26 June 2011, Episteme Conference, Pittsburgh PA, U.S.A.
The 2011 EPISTEME conference will focus on the intersection of formal and social epistemology. The use of formal models in social epistemology is not a new development. Many philosophers have modeled concepts and ideas in social epistemology by using formal tools of various types (e.g., game theory, Bayesian decision theory, the theory of judgment aggregation, the recently developed theory of networks, multi-agent epistemic logic, social choice theory, etc.). This conference intends to explore the many fertile relations between various branches of formal epistemology and many sub-areas of contemporary social epistemology.
The 2011 EPISTEME conference will be hosted by the Center for Formal Epistemology in the Department of Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University. The topic of the conference is: "Social Epistemology meets Formal Epistemology: Recent developments and new trends"
For more information, see http://epistemejournal.wordpress.com/conference/2011-carnegie-melon/
There will be a number of open sessions as part of this conference, and the organizers would like to invite submissions. Papers addressing any aspect of the conference theme, broadly conceived, are welcome. Submissions from graduate students are also welcome. The deadline for submissions is February 15th 2011.

17-18 February 2011, PhDs in Logic III, Brussels, Belgium
*PhDs in Logic* is an annual two-day graduate conference and winter school in logic. Each year we invite four established professors to do a tutorial on their work in two one-hour sessions. We also give about ten PhD students the opportunity to do a thirty-minute presentation on (a) their own work or (b) an overview of some topic in their field.
The current conference will feature the tutorials by Eric Pacuit (*Epistemic Logic*), Sonja Smets (*Quantum Logic*), Mai Gehrke (*Algebraic Logic*) and Peter Koepke (*Set Theory*). PhD students in logic with a background in philosophy, computer science, or mathematics are the intended audience for these tutorials. They are also the type of students we have in mind for our thirty-minute student sessions.

*PhDs in Logic* is an annual two-day graduate conference and winter school in logic. Each year we invite four established professors to do a tutorial on their work in two one-hour sessions. We also give about ten PhD students the opportunity to do a thirty-minute presentation on (a) their own work or (b) an overview of some topic in their field.
The current conference will feature the tutorials by Eric Pacuit (*Epistemic Logic*), Sonja Smets (*Quantum Logic*), Mai Gehrke (*Algebraic Logic*) and Peter Koepke (*Set Theory*). PhD students in logic with a background in philosophy, computer science, or mathematics are the intended audience for these tutorials. They are also the type of students we have in mind for our thirty-minute student sessions.

24 February 2011, Workshop on Universal Models
This workshop is an informal gathering of people that study universal models or use them in their research. There will be presentations both on finished studies and on work in progress. Universal models were originated by V. Shethman and V. Rybakov, anticipated by D. de Jongh's dissertation in 1968. In intuitionistic logic the subject reemerged in N. Bezhanishvili's dissertation in 2006. The logics involved today comprise intuitionistic propositional logic and modal logics. In intuitionistic logic one has finite universal models for some fragments missing some of the usual connectives, and the usual complicated infinite ones for the full logic. One of the modal logics that will be presented is GLP, an extension of Gödel-Löb's logics GL that has a different provability modality for each ordinal. Another modal logic that will be discussed is S4. At the workshop the subject will be approached from the algebraic/co-algebraic side as well.
