11-13 October 2007, Models and Simulations 2, Tilburg, the Netherlands

Date: 11-13 October 2007
Location: Tilburg, the Netherlands
Deadline: 15 April 2007

Computer simulations play an important role in many scientific contexts, and they are often based on a particular model of the phenomenon under investigation. This raises questions both about the nature and methodology of simulations themselves, as well as their relations to models. These issues have recently attracted some attention, and were also discussed at the 'Models and Simulations' conference in Paris in June 2006. The aim of the present conference is both to provide a forum to continue ongoing debates and to try to slightly shift the focus of attention. So far case studies played an important role in the debates over models and simulations and a lot has been learned from them. We are now also interested in theoretical approaches that attempt to rationalize these cases and help furthering our philosophical understanding of how models and simulations explain, how they are confirmed, how they relate to theories and other models, and how they represent.

We invite submissions of extended abstracts of up to 1000 words through our automatic submission system by 15 April 2007.

18-20 October 2007, Intelligent and Distributed Computing (IDC 2007), Craiova, Romania

Date: 18-20 October 2007
Location: Craiova, Romania
Deadline: 15 April 2007

Intelligent computing is a quite mature field of information and communication technology covering a hybrid palette of methods and techniques derived from classical artificial intelligence, computational intelligence, multi-agent systems a.o. Intelligent computing is generally known to be computationally intensive from the point of view of resources required: time, memory, bandwidth. As this is usually thought to be a drawback, distributed computing is expected to give an impetus to its practical applications. Moreover, intelligent techniques have also proved their usefulness to core distributed computing technologies like: planning & scheduling, load balancing, replication, resource allocation and management, etc. Therefore, the emergent field of intelligent and distributed computing is expected to pose new challenges of adaptation and fruitful combination of both areas. The aim of this symposium is to bring together researchers involved in intelligent and distributed computing to allow cross-fertilization and synergy of ideas and to enable advancement of researches in the field.

For more information, see http://software.ucv.ro/~badica_costin/idc2007/

The symposium welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all aspects of intelligent and distributed computing ranging from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications. Submission deadline is April 15, 2007.

5-9 August 2007, Workshop Logic, Rationality and Interaction

Date: 5-9 August 2007
Deadline: 15 April 2007

In the past decade it has become increasingly clear that studying information, first and foremost, means studying information exchange. This acknowledgement of the inherently social character of information shows up at many places in modern logical theories. More generally, information exchange is a form of interaction where agents act together in strategic ways. This new perspective has led to contacts between logic and game theory, bringing a new set of disciplines into the scope of logic: viz., economics, and the social sciences.

New interfaces are arising, such as epistemic studies of rational behavior in games. Another interesting development in this area is the rise of the notion of 'social software', the idea of using computational techniques for analyzing patterns of social behavior. And finally, interaction is also crucial to intelligent behavior in the field of natural language. Here pragmatics, the study of the actual use of language between different agents, has become the primary focus of research. Notions from game theory, in particular evolutionary games, are being used to-day to answer all kinds of pragmatic issues, for instance, how linguistic conventions can arise.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers working on these and related topics in logic, philosophy, computer science, and related areas in order to arrive at an integrated perspective on knowledge acquisition, information exchange, and rational action.

For more information, see https://www.illc.uva.nl/LORI/

Researchers in these areas are invited to submit a paper to this workshop. Submission deadline is April 15th, 2007.

13-19 July 2007, Logic Colloquium '07 (2007 ASL European Summer Meeting), Wroclaw, Poland

Date: 13-19 July 2007
Location: Wroclaw, Poland
Deadline: 17 April 2007

The Logic Colloquium is the annual European conference on logic, organised under the auspices of the Association for Symbolic Logic (ASL). It provides a forum for presenting and discussing the new developments in the area of logic. The conference attracts researchers from logic, with an emphasis on mathematical logic, but also including researchers from computer science logic and philosophical logic. In previous years, the Logic Colloquium has been organised in Nijmegen (2006) and Athens (2005). The leading researchers on logic participate in the conference, as invited speaker, tutorial speaker or as participant. It also attracts students (master and Ph.D. students) in logic from all over the world and in that way it also serves for students as an introduction into the research field of logic.

LC'07 will be colocated with ICALP'07 and LICS'07.

For more information, see http://www.aslonline.org/.

Abstracts - hard copy or email - should be received before the deadline of April 17, 2007.

1-2 July 2007, 5th International Workshop on Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT '07), Berlin, Germany

Date: 1-2 July 2007
Location: Berlin, Germany
Deadline: 23 April 2007

Deciding the satisfiability of first-order formulas modulo background theories, known as the Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) problem, has proved to be useful in verification, compiler optimization, scheduling, and other areas. The success of SMT techniques depends on the development of both domain-specific decision procedures for each concrete theory (e.g. linear arithmetic, the theory of arrays, or the theory of bit-vectors) and combination methods that allow one to obtain more versatile SMT tools. These two ingredients together make SMT techniques well-suited for use in larger automated reasoning and formal verification efforts.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and users of SMT tools and techniques. Continuing with the PDPAR tradition, we especially encourage submission of papers focused on pragmatic aspects.

The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Submission deadline : 23 April
