10 - 12 June 2022, Second International Workshop on Logics for New-Generation Artificial Intelligence (LNGAI 2022), Zhuhai (China) and Virtual

Date: 10 - 12 June 2022
Location: Zhuhai (China) and Virtual
Deadline: Tuesday 1 March 2022

LNGAI 2022 is associated with a national key project called 'Research on Logics for New Generation Artificial Intelligence' (2021-2025), supported by the National Social Science Foundation of China. The main objectives of this project are to develop theories and techniques of non-monotonic logics and formal argumentation and apply them to causal reasoning, knowledge graph reasoning, and reasoning about norms and values, in an open, dynamic and real environment. Along with the project, we organize annual international workshops that aim at enabling efficient communication and collaboration between members of the project as well as other researchers who are interested in the topics of this project.

Due to the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic situations, LNGAI 2022 will be held in a HYBRID format (virtual and physical attendance both accepted), but participants from mainland China are supposed to attend on site.

We invite two types of submissions: Full papers (within 10 pages excluding bibliography) describing original and unpublished work, and Extended abstracts (within 4 pages excluding bibliography) of preliminary original work. Additional support material may be included in an appendix, which may be considered or ignored by the program committee. Submissions must be formatted according to the LaTeX specification that can be downloaded from the website. Each submitted paper will be peer-reviewed by a panel of PC members based on originality, significance, technical soundness, clarity of exposition and relevance for the conference. For each accepted paper, at least one author is expected to register and present the paper at the workshop.

Date: 13 - 20 March 2022
Location: Wuppertal, Germany
Costs: E450,-
Deadline: Sunday 19 December 2021

Large experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), and the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) play an essential role at the frontiers of contemporary fundamental physics. These experiments employ big research facilities, they probe nature at vast energy and length scales, they produce immense amounts of data, and they involve great numbers of researchers. During this Spring School we will explore large physics experiments from historical, philosophical, and sociological perspectives. We will discuss questions such as those arising from the history and philosophy of fundamental physics, the methodological challenges of big data, and the history and sociology of large research collaborations.

We invite up to 30 graduate students and early career researchers from history, philosophy, sociology, and physics to participate. The application process will be competitive and participants will be selected according to qualification and research interests.

14 - 18 March 2022, 10th International Conference on Non-Classical Logics, Theory & Applications (NCL'22), Łódź, Poland

Date: 14 - 18 March 2022
Location: Łódź, Poland
Deadline: Sunday 7 November 2021

The Conference - devoted to non-classical logics - was initially held in Łódź in September 2008 and 2009. The conference serves as a forum to effectively exchange novel results and to survey works in widely understood non-classical logics and their applications.This year's tenth edition of the Conference will be an occasion to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the logic journal Bulletin of the Section of Logic, established in 1971.

During this year's edition of the conference there will be two special sessions: a session devoted to formal ontology, broadly conceived, and a special session in memoriam J. Michael Dunn who passed away on April, 5, 2021.

Due to the current situation concerning COVID-19 and very uncertain predictions about what will happen in the autumn, after several consultations the organizers of the conference decided to postpone it until the year 2022. We want the event to keep its on-site character, which, however, requires that the pandemic is overcome. The conference date has been changed to 14-18.03.2022 and hopefully it will not have to be subject to further revision.

CfP topical collection of Synthese on linguistically informed philosophy of mathematics

Deadline: Tuesday 15 March 2022

Text is a crucial medium for transferring mathematical ideas, agendas, and results within the scientific community and in educational contexts. This makes the focus on mathematical texts a natural and important part of the philosophical study of mathematics. Moreover, research on mathematical texts can take advantage of the huge body of knowledge and toolbox of methods from other disciplines such as linguistics and computer science to investigate problems in the philosophy of mathematics. Linguistically informed research addresses general questions of the philosophy of mathematics.

In this collection, we target mathematical text in a broad sense, including written interaction such as blogs, forums, reviews as well as textbooks and research articles. This topical collection aims to bring together and build bridges between researchers from different methodological backgrounds to tackle questions concerning the philosophy of mathematics. This includes approaches from philosophical analysis, linguistics and literature studies, but also methods from computer science and artificial intelligence, cognitive sciences, and mathematics education.
Note that this remains a philosophical issue. So while methods are interdisciplinary, we aim for a philosophical upshot.

17 - 18 March 2022, Bilateralism and Proof-Theoretic Semantics, Ruhr University Bochum

Date: 17 - 18 March 2022
Location: Ruhr University Bochum
Target audience: PhD students and early Post-Docs
Deadline: Sunday 28 November 2021

The topic of bilateralism - situated in the area of proof-theoretic semantics - has received considerable attention in the area of philosophical logic within the past years. According to proof-theoretic semantics the meaning of the logical connectives is determined by the rules of inference governing their use in proofs. In this context bilateralism demands an equal consideration of dual concepts like truth and falsity, assertion and denial, or proof and refutation in that they should both be taken as primitive concepts, i.e. not reducible to each other. This conference aims at sharing and discussing the latest research in this area by bringing together both highly distinguished as well as early career researchers.

Invited Speakers: Nils Kürbis (University of Łódź & Ruhr University Bochum), Greg Restall (University of St. Andrews), David Ripley (Monash University), Luca Tranchini (University of Tübingen), Peter Verdée (UCLouvain) and Heinrich Wansing (Ruhr University Bochum).

28 June - 1 July 2022, 10th Conference on Highlights of Logic, Games, & Automata (HIGHLIGHTS 2022), Paris, France

Date: 28 June - 1 July 2022
Location: Paris, France
Deadline: Friday 18 March 2022

HIGHLIGHTS 2022 is the tenth conference on Highlights of Logic, Games and Automata. It aims at integrating the community working in these fields. Papers from these areas are dispersed across many conferences, which makes them difficult to follow. A visit to the Highlights conference should offer a wide picture of the latest research in the field and a chance to meet everybody in the community, not just those who happen to publish in one particular proceedings volume.

Representative areas include, but are not restricted to: algorithmic model theory, automata theory, databases, game for logic and verification, logic, and verification. Invited talks: Dexter Kozen (USA), Marta Kwiatkowska (UK), Markus Lohrey (Germany) and Tatiana Starikovskaya (France). Tutorials: S. Akshay (India) and Dana Fisman (Israel).

We encourage you to attend and present your best work, be it already published or not, at the Highlights conference. Submissions should take the form of a short abstract describing the content of the presentation and its interest. It should serve as a proposal for a presentation. Hence, submissions should have a single author — the speaker. They can concern any recently published, to be published, or ongoing work of the speaker. We expect you to present your favourite result of the year, so there should be at most one submission per speaker. The abstract should list co-authors, if any. Optionally, an extended abstract of up to two pages may be attached as a PDF file.

Submissions will not lead to publications. There are no formal proceedings and we encourage submission of work presented elsewhere.

For more information, see https://highlights-conference.org/2022/.

6 - 11 June 2022, 2nd Conference on Ultrafilters & Ultraproducts across mathematics and related topics (ULTRAMATH 2022), Pisa (Italy) and/or Virtual

Date: 6 - 11 June 2022
Location: Pisa (Italy) and/or Virtual
Deadline: Monday 21 March 2022

The International Conference "ULTRAMATH 2022" aims to present recent results in the whole spectrum of mathematics which are grounded on the use of ultrafilters and ultraproducts. Its main goals:
 - Disseminate information about the various techniques related to the use of ultrafilters and ultraproducts, and their potential to attack open problems.
 - Bring together researchers with different backgrounds, and encourage their collaborations and interactions, especially on topics connecting different areas of mathematics.

This is the second edition of "UltraMath", after the one held in Pisa in 2008. After two years of postponement, we are strongly committed to holding this 2022 edition with the physical presence of lecturers and participants. We will make every effort to ensure that this is done safely; in the unfortunate case of a new emergency due to the pandemic, UltraMath 2022 will take place anyway as a hybrid or as an online event, depending on the situation.

Participants are invited to submit abstracts. Abstracts should be written in LaTeX (also plain text files are ok) and fit on at most one page when processed. The covered topics of UltraMath 2022 include (but are not limited to): Additive and Combinatorial Number Theory, Combinatorics and Ramsey Theory, Algebra and Geometry, General Topology, Measure Theory, Ergodic Theory and Dynamics, Functional Analysis and Metric Spaces, Nonstandard Analysis and Model Theory, Generalized Spaces and Differential Equations, and Set Theory.

Greater prominence will be given to those results that satisfy (most of) the following conditions:
- The results can be formulated and presented in non-specialist terms, and be in principle understandable by any practicing mathematician.
- The usage of ultrafilters/ultraproducts is important (or even essential) in obtaining these results.
- The results connect different areas of mathematics.
- The results reveal new facets of known important topics.

23 - 26 May 2022, Nineteenth International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2022), Online (Zoom)

Date: 23 - 26 May 2022
Location: Online (Zoom)
Deadline: Monday 21 March 2022

The conference is concerned with the theory of computability and complexity over real-valued data. 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 topics of interest include foundational work on various models and approaches for describing computability and complexity over the real numbers. They also include complexity-theoretic investigations, both foundational and with respect to concrete problems, and new implementations of exact real arithmetic, as well as further developments of already existing software packages. We hope to gain new insights into computability-theoretic aspects of various computational questions from physics and from other fields involving computations over the real numbers.

Authors are invited to submit 1-2 pages abstracts in PDF format, including references. If full versions of papers are already available as technical report or arXiv version, then corresponding links should be added to the reference list. Final versions of abstracts might be distributed to participants in electronic form.

6 - 11 June 2022, XXV International Summer School in Philosophy of Physics "Dualities between Physics and Philosophy"

Date: 6 - 11 June 2022
Location: University of Urbino
Target audience: Students and young researchers
Costs: €70 (in person) or €30 (online)
Deadline: Thursday 24 March 2022

The XXV International Summer School in Philosophy of Physics of the University of Urbino will focus on a crucial topic of research in physics and philosophy: dualities, in particular in their gauge/gravity incarnation, and their philosophical implications.

This topic has manifold ramifications, both for physics and for philosophy, as our speakers will show. The three speakers are professor Jonathan Bain (Department of Technology, Culture and Society/Philosophy Department, NYU), professor Johanna Erdmenger (Physics Department, University of Würzburg), and professor Sebastian De Haro (Institute for Logic, Language and Computation, UvA).

This year, we wish to offer three young researchers interested in Dualities in Physics and Philosophy the opportunity to test their skills by presenting their original papers to the other participants in a dedicated workshop at the end of the school, which will also feature Jeremy Butterfield (Philosophy Department, University of Cambridge) and Baptiste Le Bihan (Philosophy Department, University of Geneva) as senior speakers. Interested graduate students, postgraduates, and early researchers (Ph.D. degree obtained after January 2017) are invited to submit a 1000 words abstract.

16 - 17 June 2022, Fourteenth Latin American Workshop on New Methods of Reasoning (LANMR 2022), Virtual

Date: 16 - 17 June 2022
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Friday 25 March 2022

LANMR 2022 is the fourteenth edition of the Latin American Workshop series on Logic/Languages, Algorithms and New Methods of Reasoning. The aim of LANMR is to bring together researchers interested in methods of reasoning and applications involving logic broadly understood from philosophy to programming languages and artificial intelligence.  LANMR 2022 will be held on June 16th and 17th, 2022 fully online due to the COVID19 outbreak.

We invite authors to submit papers to this forum, presenting original and unpublished research on all pertinent subjects. Papers submissions will be double-blind reviewed, must be written in English, formatted according to the Springer LNCS style, and not exceed 13 pages excluding references and figures.

2 - 5 August 2022, 2022 Competitive Evaluation of QBF Solvers (QBFEVAL'22), Haifa, Israel

Date: 2 - 5 August 2022
Location: Haifa, Israel
Deadline: Friday 25 March 2022

QBFEVAL'22 is the 2022 competitive evaluation of QBF solvers, and the fifteenth event aimed to assess the performance of QBF solvers. QBFEVAL'22 awards solvers that stand out as being particularly effective on specific categories of QBF instances. This will be a joint event with the 25th Int. Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT, affiliated with FLoC 2022).

We warmly encourage developers of QBF solvers to submit their work, even at early stages of development, as long as it fulfills some very simple requirements. We also welcome the submission of QBF formulas to be used for the evaluation. Researchers thinking about using QBF-based techniques in their area (e.g., formal verification, planning, knowledge representation & reasoning) are invited to contribute to the evaluation by submitting QBF instances of their research problems (see the requirements for instances). The results of the evaluation will be a good indicator of the current feasibility of QBF-based approaches and a stimulus for people working on QBF solvers to further enhance their tools.

4 July 2022, 4th workshop on Learning & Automata (LearnAut 2022), Virtual and Paris, France

Date: Monday 4 July 2022
Location: Virtual and Paris, France
Deadline: Thursday 31 March 2022

Learning models defining recursive computations, like automata and formal grammars, are the core of the field called Grammatical Inference (GI). The expressive power of these models and the complexity of the associated computational problems are major research topics within mathematical logic and computer science. Historically, there has been little interaction between the GI and ICALP communities, though recently some important results started to bridge the gap between both worlds, including applications of learning to formal verification and model checking, and (co-)algebraic formulations of automata and grammar learning algorithms.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts on logic who could benefit from grammatical inference tools, and researchers in grammatical inference who could find in logic and verification new fruitful applications for their methods. The LearnAut workshop will consist of 3 invited talks and 14 contributed talks from researchers whose submitted works were selected after a double-blind peer-reviewed phase. A significant amount of time will be kept for interactions between participants.

We invite submissions of recent work, including preliminary research, related to the theme of the workshop. The Program Committee will select a subset of the abstracts for oral presentation. At least one author of each accepted abstract is expected to represent it at the workshop (in person, or virtually). Note that accepted papers will be made available on the workshop website but will not be part of formal proceedings (i.e., LearnAut is a non-archival workshop). Submissions in the form of extended abstracts must be at most 8 single-column pages long at most (plus at most four for bibliography and possible appendixes) and must be submitted in the JMLR/PMLR format. We do accept submissions of work recently published or currently under review.
