16-18 June 2011, "Another world is possible": conference on David Lewis, Urbino, Italy
The impact of David Lewis on contemporary philosophy is still tangible, ten years after his premature departure. The conference intends to discuss Lewis' long-lasting contribution in the fields of logic and metaphysics, with particular focus on the nature of modality, his views on possible worlds, counterfactuals, causation, and convention. We also wish to provide a setting for young philosophers and logicians to present topics related to Lewis' philosophy and discuss the state of art of his legacy in the contemporary philosophical debate.
For further information and for the conference program, please contact conlewis2011 at gmail.com or visit the website at http://sites.google.com/site/conferencelewis/.
The Organizing Committee invites all scholars working in Lewisian philosophy to submit an abstract. Submissions must be sent by email attachment to the Organising Committee by March 1, 2011.

14-17 June 2011, Logicism Today, Besse-en-Chandesse (France)
This is a workshop on contemporary Logicism. The aim of this workshop is to gather philosophers working from within a logicist perspective (or from within a perspective close to logicism) so as to question the coherence and unity of the movement - that is, both to make apparent the conceptual tensions that divide logicism, and to outline possible rapprochements between different logicist approaches of mathematics. The three-day meeting will feature both invited and contributed talks.
For more information, see http://www.univ-bpclermont.fr/LABOS/phier/Logicism/index.html.en
We welcome any contribution in the area of logicism and philosophy of mathematics, and in particular any submission that would endeavor either to contribute to the logicist program or to discuss some aspect of it. Deadline for submission: March 1st, 2011.

4 September 2011, Workshop "Numerical Cognition and Mathematical Ontology" (Workshop at ECAP-7), Milan, Italy
Philosophy of mathematics has proved to be one of the most lively areas of philosophy in recent times, and numerical cognition has proved the same with respect to cognitive science. Many traditional issues in the philosophy of mathematics, concerning both our understanding of the concept of number and our conception of mathematical objects, has been seen in a new light under the pressure of the development of cognitive studies. Often, however, we are faced with the stark opposition between those who believe that cognitive results tell us all there is to say about mathematics, pace most traditional philosophical concerns, and those who deny that cognitive aspects of mathematical thinking, however interesting they may be on their own, can foster any progress in the solution of as yet theoretically unavoidable philosophical issues.
Many, however, feel the urge of filling the gap, one way or the other. Major and interrelated issues are indeed at stake. This workshop aims at bringing together scholars on both sides of the divide, and to offer the opportunity to young researchers of discussing works at the interplay between cognitive science and the philosophy of mathematics.
The workshop Numerical Cognition and Mathematical Ontology is one of the Workshop associated to the Seventh Conference in Analytic Philosophy (ECAP7).
For more information, see the workshop website at http://www.esap.info/ecap7/?page_id=29 or the conference website at http://www.esap.info/ecap7/.
We invite submission for the ECAP7 Workshop on Numerical Cognition and Mathematical Ontology. Deadline for submission: March 10th, 2011.

3-5 June 2011, Trends in Logic IX: Church's Thesis, Logic, Mind and Nature, Krakow, Poland,
In 1935 Alonzo Church formulated a thesis called, after Kleene, the Church's Thesis (CT). Since then, many important logicians and philosophers have ventured to solve the numerous problems connected to the CT. Various lines of research have shown that the CT has many incarnations and constitutes an interdisciplinary problem. The research concerning the CT, as well as an analogical thesis developed by Alan Turing, has resulted in important insights regarding the concept of computability. Georg Kreisel formulated three versions of the CT, pertaining to machine, human, and physical computability. With respect to this, the conference's focus will be on three areas connected to the CT: logic, mind and nature.
The main goals of this Studia Logica International Conference include the discussion over the major results concerning the Church's Thesis (CT), as well as the presentation of contemporary approaches to problems connected with the CT.
For more information, see http://studialogica.org/TrendsIX
We invite contributions pertaining to issues which lie in the fields for which the CT is an important problem. Deadline for abstract submission is March 15.

21-23 March 2011, AAAI Spring Symposium Series, Stanford University
The biennial Commonsense Symposia series provides a forum for exploring one of the long-term goals of Artificial Intelligence, endowing computers with common sense.
Although we know how to build programs that excel at certain bounded or mechanical tasks which humans find difficult, such as playing chess, we still have very little idea how to program computers to do well at commonsense tasks which are easy for humans. One approach to this problem is to characterize commonsense reasoning using representations based on logic or other formal theories. The challenges to creating such formalizations include accumulating knowledge about the everyday world, representing this knowledge formally, integrating different representations, and developing reasoning methods for these representations.

3-8 July 2011, Third European Set Theory Conference, Edinburgh, Scotland
Set Theory as was quickly recognized by David Hilbert more than 100 years ago, plays a fundamental foundational role in the intellectual underpinning of pure mathematics. Cantor's work on cardinality and wellorderings was seen to establish several basic areas of research whose threads we discern today and indeed will be emphasized in this conference: on the arithmetic of cardinal numbers themselves, and on the `descriptive set theory' that seeks to analyse the logical complexity of sets definable within mathematical language. Cantor's work derived from his study of trigonometric series, and modern set theory goes back to classical analysis as well as to modern Banach space theory, abstract algebra, ergodic theory, and dynamical systems to find fruitful applications.

29-30 March 2011, Higher-order logic versus set theory, London, U.K.
From a mathematical point of view, higher-order logic (HOL) and set theory have a lot in common; for instance, both allow us to talk about collections of individuals, and there are partial translations in both directions. However, philosophers often argue that HOL and set theory differ in important ways, such as epistemic status and ontological commitments. This workshop aims to assess the relation between HOL and set theory, drawing in part on an examination of the history of these theories.

31 March - 1 April 2011, On the Posteriority of Buechi, Lausanne, Switzerland
Julius-Richard Büchi (1924-1984) was a Swiss logician and a mathematician who received his Dr. sc. nat. in 1950 at the ETH Zürich under the supervision of Paul Bernays. Almost half a century ago, in 1962, he invented what is now called the Büchi automaton. In the recent years there has been tremendous efforts devoted to extending Büchi?s results. I The aim of this workshop is to bring together some among the best specialists from this new trend of automata theory and discuss the existing results and the ones to come.
