CfP special issue of the Artificial Intelligence Journal (AIJ) on Epistemic Planning
Epistemic planning is the enrichment of automated planning with epistemic notions such as knowledge and belief. In order to achieve formalisms and systems for epistemic planning that are both expressive and practically efficient, it is necessary to combine state of the art from several such sub-areas of artificial intelligence that have so far been considered mostly in separation. Epistemic planning has applications in game playing, human-robot interaction, social robotics, etc.
For this special issue of AIJ, we invite papers on theory, applications, and implemented systems of epistemic planning.

6 - 8 March 2019, Post-truth: The semantics and pragmatics of saying "what you believe to be false", Bremen
Grice's first maxim of quality says "do not say what you believe to be false", but we often do. We tell lies ("I did not have sexual relations with that woman"), we deceive (e.g. by lying by implicature), we bullshit ("Trade wars are easy to win"), we make up stories ("When Harry Potter first came to Hogwarts …"), we pretend (Kids playing: "You were Batgirl and I was Wonder Woman"), or we use irony ("Losing the key was very smart!"). In all such speech acts there is a clear sense in which we're not, or at least not literally, speaking the truth. In this workshop we want to discuss the challenges that these and other deviations from the Gricean norm of quality pose for semantics and pragmatics and see if we can incorporate ideas from philosophy, literary theory, cognitive science and other related fields to extend the coverage of our theories of meaning and our understanding of the dynamics and logic of (non-)cooperative conversation.
Invited speakers: Regine Eckardt (Konstanz) and Jörg Meibauer (Mainz). Organized by Daniel Gutzmann (Cologne), Emar Maier (Groningen), and Katharina Turgay (Landau).
24 May 2019, Sixth Workshop on Natural Language and Computer Science (NLCS'19), Gothenburg, Sweden
A workshop affiliated with the 13th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS 2019)
Formal tools coming from logic and category theory are important in both natural language semantics and in computational semantics. Moreover, work on these tools borrows heavily from all areas of theoretical computer science. In the other direction, applications having to do with natural language has inspired developments on the formal side. The workshop invites papers on both topics.
Invited speakers: Krasimir Angelov (Gothenburg), Rafaella Bernardi, (Trento).
Extended abstracts of up to 10 pages may be submitted through Easychair.

8 - 11 July 2019, Sixteenth International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2019), Zagreb, Croatia
The conference is concerned with the theory of computability and complexity over real-valued data.
Most mathematical models in physics and engineering 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. 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, present work in progress and exchange ideas and knowledge.
The conference CCA 2019 is followed by the conference Computability in Europe (CiE 2019).
Authors are invited to submit 1-2 pages abstracts in PDF format.
Topics: Computable analysis, Complexity on real numbers, Constructive analysis, Domain theory and analysis, Effective descriptive set theory, Theory of representations, Computable numbers, subsets and functions, Randomness and computable measure theory, Models of computability on real numbers, Realizability theory and analysis, Reverse analysis, Weihrauch complexity, Real number algorithms, Implementation of exact real number arithmetic.

3 - 4 June 2019, Fifth International Workshop on "Defeasible and Ampliative Reasoning" (DARe 2019), Philadelphia PA, U.S.A.
Everyday human decision making involves various kinds of non-classical reasoning such as reasoning with uncertainty, exceptions, similarity, vagueness, incomplete or contradictory information and many others. These types of reasoning usually show two intertwined aspects, an ampliative aspect (augmenting the underlying reasoning by allowing more conclusions) and a defeasible aspect (curtailing the underlying reasoning by either disregarding or disallowing some conclusions that somehow ought not to be sanctioned). Several efforts have been put into the study and definition of formalisms within which the aforementioned aspects of everyday reasoning could adequately be captured at different levels. But despite the progress that has been achieved, large avenues remain open for exploration.
DARe aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from core areas of artificial intelligence, cognitive sciences, philosophy and related disciplines to discuss these kinds of problems and relevant results in a multi-disciplinary forum. The goal of the workshop is to present latest research developments, to discuss current directions in the field, and to collect first-hand feedback from the community.
DARe welcomes contributions on all aspects of defeasible and ampliative reasoning. We invite submissions of papers presenting original research results or position statements. Submissions must be prepared using the Springer LNAI/LNCS format and should be no longer than 13 pages (not counting the references).

CfP special issue of JLAMP on "Relational & Algebraic Methods in Computer Science"
Relational and algebraic methods belong to the core of computer science. This special issue of the Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming (JLAMP) aims to showcase the variety and relevance of recent developments in this field ranging from theory to applications.
We invite submissions of high-quality original research articles in the general fields of algebras relevant to computer science and applications of such algebras. While we welcome substantially extended versions of papers published in the proceedings of the RAMiCS 2018 conference, this call is open to anyone interested in the field of relational and algebraic methods.
10 - 13 September 2019, Twenty-second International Conference on Text, Speech, & Dialogue (TSD 2019), Ljubljana, Slovenia
The history of the International Conference of Text, Speech and Dialogue (TSD) dates back to 1997 when the event was held for the first time, that time as an international workshop, in Mariánské Lázně. The essential idea behind the project was to establish a scientific meeting platform that would act as a bridge between the East and the West. Since then an uninterrupted row of the TSD conferences has been organised by Brno (even years) and Plzeň (odd years) crews.
TSD2019 will explore the topics in the field of speech and natural language processing, in particular:
corpora, texts, transcription, and translation;
speech analysis, recognition, and synthesis;
their intertwining within dialogue systems.
The organizing committee invites papers to be presented during the conference. Topics of the 22nd conference will include (but are not limited to): Speech Recognition, Corpora and Language Resources, Speech and Spoken Language Generation, Tagging, Classification and Parsing of Text and Speech, Semantic Processing of Text and Speech, Integrating Applications of Text and Speech Processing , Automatic Dialogue Systems, and Multimodal Techniques and Modeling.
26 - 30 June 2019, 12th Panhellenic Logic Symposium (PLS12)
The Panhellenic Logic Symposium is a biennial scientific event that was established in 1997. It aims to promote interaction and cross-fertilization among different areas of logic. Originally conceived as a way of bringing together the many logicians of Hellenic descent throughout the world, the PLS has evolved into an international forum for the communication of state-of-the-art advances in logic. The symposium is open to researchers worldwide who work in logic broadly conceived.
PLS12 will have Special Sessions on Computer Science, Model Theory and Philosophy & Set Theory, as well as a Poster Session and a Mentoring Session.
The Scientific Committee cordially invites all researchers in the area of the conference to submit their papers for presentation at PLS12. All submitted papers will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee of the symposium, who will make final decisions on acceptance. During the symposium, each accepted paper will be presented by one of its authors.
Graduate students and young researchers are invited to submit a short abstract for the Poster Session, on work in progress that may not be ready for a regular contributed talk.
29 - 31 July 2019, 2nd Forcing Project Networking Conference (FPNC 2019): Set Theory, Bridging Maths & Philosophy, Konstanz, Germany
The project “Forcing: Conceptual Change in the Foundations of Mathematics” (2018-2023) aims to analyse the development of modern set theory since the introduction of the forcing technique both from a historical and philosophical point of view. It brings together methods and research questions from different research areas in the history and philosophy of mathematics to investigate if and how the extensive use of the forcing method brought about a conceptual change in set theory; and in which ways this may influence the philosophy of set theory and the foundations of mathematics.
The research group organises a series of Networking Conferences with the goal of reaching out to researchers from these different areas. The second instalment will be devoted to the topic of recent set theory as a bridge between mathematics and philosophy and focuses on the interaction between mathematical and philosophical arguments and views in set theory. Set theory has long been both a mathematical discipline and a program with foundational motivations. It seems that this dual character makes it a natural crossway between mathematics and philosophy, possibly more so than other mathematical disciplines.
We welcome contributions which
a) add to current discussions in the philosophy of set theory by relating philosophical and mathematical arguments to one another; by working out the philosophical import of set-theoretic results; or by giving set-theoretic explications of philosophical concepts;
b) question or uphold the relevance of philosophical arguments in set theory.
c) analyse the mathematical and philosophical content of the concept "set-theoretic practice" as used in recent set-theoretic programs.
d) investigate how the inclusion of alternative set theories impact the philosophy of set theory.
