6-10 August 2007, Hybrid Logics (HyLo 2007), Dublin (Ireland)

Date: 6-10 August 2007
Location: Dublin (Ireland)
Deadline: 8 March 2007

Hybrid logic is a branch of modal logic allowing direct reference to worlds/times/states. It is easy to justify interest in hybrid logic on the grounds of applications as the additional expressive power is very useful. In addition, hybrid-logical machinery improves the behaviour of the underlying modal formalism. For example, it becomes considerably simpler to formulate modal proof systems, and one can prove completeness and interpolation results of a generality that is not available in orthodox modal logic.

The topic of the HyLo workshop of 2007 is not only standard hybrid-logical machinery like nominals, satisfaction operators, and the downarrow binder, but generally extensions of modal logic that increase its expressive power. The workshop continues a series of previous workshops on hybrid logic, most recently the LICS-affiliated HyLo 2006 (http://hylomol.ruc.dk/HyLo2006/). HyLo 2007 is organized as part of ESSLLI 2007.

For more information, see http://hylomol.ruc.dk/HyLo2007

We invite the contribution of papers reporting new work from researchers interested in hybrid logic. Deadline for submissions: March 8, 2007.

8-10 March 2007, Confirmation, Induction and Science, London

Date: 8-10 March 2007
Location: London
Deadline: 1 October 2006

Opinions on confirmation and induction diverge wildly in philosophy of science. At one extreme are those such as the Bayesians, who believe that the true system of inductive logic has been found and all that needs to be resolved are the details. At the other are skeptics, such as some supporters of the underdetermination thesis, who hold that no logic can vindicate the level of support scientists claim for their best, mature theories, for, they urge, the real inductive import of evidence cannot be that decisive. Between these extreme are many intermediate positions, including the view that the very nature of inductive inference remains poorly understood. Our goal in this conference is to bring together representatives from as many of these viewpoints as possible in order to advance our understanding of this problem.

13-14 March 2007, Logics and Collective Decision Making (LCD07), Lille, France

Date: 13-14 March 2007
Location: Lille, France
Deadline: 31 January 2007

Group decision-making problems occur every time a collective choice has to be made from several individuals that have conflicting interests or preferences. There has been recently a growing interest on the use of logic as the basic tool for formalizing and computing those problems. This is in particular true in two close fields of research. The first one lies at the intersection of game theory and logics, especially by exploring how modal logics may be used to model and reason about games. A second one, which focuses on the logical insights into rational collective choice, has recently emerged around problems of judgment aggregation and beliefs/goals merging, on the one hand, and logical formalization of welfare distribution processes (social software), on the other. These two domains propose further formal refinements, using logical tools, of the classical theories of collective decision-making, by offering new evaluation criteria of and new ways of building social choice procedures. The workshop aims at sparking off interaction between social choice theorists, computer scientists, logicians and philosophers.

20-24 August 2007, Conference on Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT 07), Roskilde, Denmark

Date: 20-24 August 2007
Location: Roskilde, Denmark
Deadline: 15 March 2007

The Sixth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT'07) will provide a forum for presenting and discussing high-quality research and applications on context, within a wide range of disciplines. The conference will include paper and poster presentations, system demonstrations, workshops, and a doctoral consortium.

For more information, see http://context-07.ruc.dk/.

The conference invites researchers and practitioners to share insights and cutting-edge results. Deadline for workshop proposal submissions is January 31, 2007; for paper submissions to the main conference it is March 15, 2007.

16-18 June 2007, Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2007), Siena, Italy

Date: 16-18 June 2007
Location: Siena, Italy
Deadline: 15 March 2007

The conference is concerned with the theory of computability and complexity over real-valued data. Unlike the well established classical theory over discrete structures, the theory of computation over continuous data is still in early stages of development, 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 detected. Scientists working in the area of computation on real-valued data come from different fields, such as theoretical computer science, domain theory, logic, constructive mathematics, computer arithmetic, numerical mathematics and all branches of analysis. The conference provides a unique opportunity for people from such diverse areas to meet and exchange ideas and knowledge.

This year CCA 2007 is co-located with the conference CiE 2007.

For more information, see http://cca-net.de/cca2007/

The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Submission deadline is 15 March 2007.

19-20 April 2007, Automated Reasoning Workshop 2007, London

Date: 19-20 April 2007
Location: London
Deadline: 16 March 2007

Continuing the highly successful series of Workshops on Automated Reasoning, this event will provide an informal forum for the automated reasoning community. The ARW workshop series aims to bring together researchers from all areas of automated reasoning in order to foster links and facilitate cross-fertilisation of ideas among researchers from various disciplines; among researchers from academia, industry and government; and between theoreticians and practitioners.

26-28 March 2007, Second Perspectives on Mathematical Practices conference, Brussels, Belgium

Date: 26-28 March 2007
Location: Brussels, Belgium
Deadline: 15 November 2006

The general philosophical theme of this meeting will be that of why and how philosophers and historians of mathematics need each other. This takes for granted the thesis, ventilated by Lakatos, that they do so. One is here referring, of course, to his famous paraphrase of Kantian dictum: "The history of mathematics, lacking the guidance of philosophy, has become blind, while the philosophy of mathematics, turning its back on the most intruiging phenomena in the history of mathematics, has become empty".

Any serious attempt at remedying this, and thus approaching the history and philosophy of mathematics, will either have to "bring to" philosophers the historian's expertise of conducting meticulous diachronical case-studies, or else "bring to" historians the philosopher's concern with epistemological depth; preferably both. Moreover, a focus on the historical dimension of mathematical practices is not to the exclusion of contemporary themes. To the contrary: Lakatos's point pertains to the historicity of mathematical knowledge, past and present.
