22 August 2011, Coordination, Organizations, Institutions and Norms in Agent Systems (COIN@WI-IAT'11), Lyon, France
Coordination, organizations, institutions and norms are four key governance elements for the regulation of open multi-agent systems, and the COIN workshop creates a space for lively debate and exploration of these four elements that are central to the design and deployment of open systems. Furthermore, in the last three years there has been much interest from the Service Engineering community to adopt agent-based coordination and organisational approaches in order to bring flexibility and adaptiveness to new generations of Service-Oriented applications. Thus the workshop topics are also very relevant to the broader Service Engineering and Semantic Web communities.
For more information, see http://mmi.tudelft.nl/coin-wi-iat2011/
We seek to attract high-quality papers addressing mathematical, logical, computational and pragmatic aspects of the workshop themes, including reports on experiences with agent-oriented systems that have been adapted for service-oriented environments. Abstract submission deadline: April 1, 2011

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.

4-7 April 2011, 3rd AISB Symposium on Computing and Philosophy, York, U.K.
In conjunction with the 2011 AISB (Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour) Convention.
As a subject for philosophical investigation computing has a long history. With the rapid technological progress of electronic computing since the mid-20th century we have seen the emergence of much deeper and broader interactions between computing and philosophy. Both philosophy and computing stand to benefit from this continuing dialogue. The purpose of the symposium is to further strengthen communication between these disciplines, thereby to advance the philosophical study of computing in general in relation to a number of key issues. These include traditional philosophical problems and the philosophical issues surrounding computational modelling. We therefore welcome papers exploring any of these issues. Papers that engage with cognitive science are particularly encouraged.

17-18 July 2011, 9th International Workshop on Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Action and Change (NRAC 2011), Barcelona, Spain
The biennial Workshop on Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Action, and Change (NRAC) is an established workshop with an active and loyal community. Since its inception in 1995, it has always been held in conjunction with IJCAI, each time with growing success.
NRAC is a well-established forum for researchers interested in sharing their experiences in work in the areas of Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Reasoning about Action, and Belief Revision. An intelligent agent exploring a rich, dynamic world, needs cognitive capabilities in addition to basic functionalities for perception and reaction. The abilities to reason nonmonotonically, to reason about actions, and to change one's beliefs, have been identified as fundamental high-level cognitive functions necessary for common sense. Researchers should be aware of advances in all three fields since often advances in one field can be translated into advances in another. Many deep relationships have already been established between the three areas and the primary aim of this workshop is to further promote this cross-fertilization.
For more information, see http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/~ssardina/NRAC2011/
We invite submissions of research papers for presentation at NRAC 2011 edition. Submission deadline (extended): April 8, 2011.

8-9 April 2011, "What is really possible?", Utrecht, The Netherlands
We cordially invite you to participate in the kick off workshop of the project 'What is really possible?'. In science and in practical life, we continuously deal with real possibilities: outcomes of experiments, calculated risks, consequences of actions, fearing or craving something before us. The workshop explores the notion of real possibility from different angles, varying from philosophical logic to metaphysics and the philosophy of action.
At the workshop, nine international speakers will be presenting their work in a variety of areas, ranging from logic to the philosophy of action, metaphysics, and more. The workshop will end with a round table discussion, in which the various ideas relating to the project will be collected, discussed, and connected.
The website for the workshop, and the project, can be found at http://possibilities.phil.uu.nl/events/kickoff/. If you wish to attend the workshop, please send an email to rosja.mastop at phil.uu.nl.

10-15 April 2011, 3rd International Spring School on Computational Logic (ISCL 2011), Bertinoro (Forlì-Cesena), Italy
The International Spring School on Computational Logic (co-located with the DALT Spring School) for MSc students, PhD students, postdocs and other junior researchers will offer a rich programme on different aspects of computational logic, including description logics, constraints, verification, intelligent agents, and multiagent systems.
Students who send an expression of interest by the end of November will receive a discount on their registration fee. For more information, see http://lia.deis.unibo.it/confs/iscl/.
10-15 April 2011, First International Spring School on Declarative Agent Languages and Technologies (DALT Spring School 2011), Bertinoro (Forlì-Cesena), Italy
DALT is a well-established forum for researchers interested in sharing their experiences in combining declarative and formal approaches with engineering and technology aspects of agents and multiagent systems.
Building complex agent systems calls for models and technologies that ensure predictability, allow for the verification of properties, and guarantee flexibility. Developing technologies that can satisfy these requirements still poses an important and difficult challenge. Here, declarative approaches have the potential of offering solutions satisfying the needs for both specifying and developing multiagent systems. Moreover, they are gaining more and more attention in important application areas such as the semantic web, service-oriented computing, security, and electronic contracting.
The DALT School builds on the success of 8 editions of the international AAMAS workshop series, and aims at giving a comprehensive introduction to this exciting research domain and disseminate the results of research achieved in this 8-year-long activity with a perspective on the future.

10-15 April 2011, First International Spring School on Declarative Agent Languages and Technologies (DALT Spring School 2011), Bertinoro (Forlì-Cesena), Italy
DALT is a well-established forum for researchers interested in sharing their experiences in combining declarative and formal approaches with engineering and technology aspects of agents and multiagent systems.
Building complex agent systems calls for models and technologies that ensure predictability, allow for the verification of properties, and guarantee flexibility. Developing technologies that can satisfy these requirements still poses an important and difficult challenge. Here, declarative approaches have the potential of offering solutions satisfying the needs for both specifying and developing multiagent systems. Moreover, they are gaining more and more attention in important application areas such as the semantic web, service-oriented computing, security, and electronic contracting.
The DALT School builds on the success of 8 editions of the international AAMAS workshop series, and aims at giving a comprehensive introduction to this exciting research domain and disseminate the results of research achieved in this 8-year-long activity with a perspective on the future.

CfP special issue of TopiCS on "mathematical practice and cognition"
We are pleased to announce that a special issue of Topics in Cognitive Science (TopiCS) will be devoted to the theme of mathematical pratice and cognition.
Researchers in mathematical practice and cognition are forming increasingly well-established communities with independent approaches and methodologies. The aim of this topiCS issue is to establish and strengthen connections between these and other areas of research, and, where relevant, to relate work carried out in such arenas to the cognitive science mainstream. Thus, this interdisciplinary issue aims to present commonalities and interactions between researchers who investigate how people do mathematics.
Submission deadline: Wednesday: 20th April 2011. Please see http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/apease/aisb10/journal.html for details. Note that this page is under construction and will change.

CfP special issue of Studia Logica dedicated to the memory of Leo Esakia
Studia Logica invites contributions to the special issue dedicated to the memory of the great Georgian logician Leo Esakia (1934-2010). Leo was the founder of the logic school in Georgia. He made numerous important contributions to the study of algebraic and topological semantics of modal and intuitionistic logics. Several landmark theorems in the field bear his name. Leo also contributed immensely to establishing a strong research community working on algebraic, topological, and categorical methods in logic.
We specifically invite submissions on the topics closely related to Leo's research. Submitted papers should not exceed 20 pages (including bibliography), formatted according to the Studia Logica LaTeX style. Deadline for submission of manuscripts to the issue editors: 30th April, 2011.
