24-27 June 2012, Nineth International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2012), Cambridge, U.K.
Computability and complexity theory are two central areas of research in mathematical logic and theoretical computer science. Computability theory is the study of the limitations and abilities of computers in principle. Computational complexity theory provides a framework for understanding the cost of solving computational problems, as measured by the requirement for resources such as time and space.
The classical approach in these areas is to consider algorithms as operating on finite strings of symbols from a finite alphabet. Most mathematical models in physics and engineering, however, 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. Despite remarkable progress in recent years many important fundamental problems have not yet been studied, and presumably numerous unexpected and surprising results are waiting to be detected. The conference provides a unique opportunity for people working in the area of computation on real-valued data but coming from different fields to meet, present work in progress and exchange ideas and knowledge.
Conference Web Page: http://cca-net.de/cca2012/
Authors of contributed papers are invited to submit a PDF version of an extended abstract. Submission deadline: April 1, 2012
31 March - 1 April 2012, 11th International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science (CMCS 2012), Tallinn, Estonia
In more than a decade of research, it has been established that a wide variety of state-based dynamical systems, like transition systems, automata (including weighted and probabilistic variants), Markov chains, and game-based systems, can be treated uniformly as coalgebras. Coalgebra has developed into a field of its own interest presenting a deep mathematical foundation, a growing field of applications, and interactions with various other fields such as reactive and interactive system theory, object-oriented and concurrent programming, formal system specification, modal and description logics, artificial intelligence, dynamical systems, control systems, category theory, algebra, analysis, etc. The aim of the CMCS workshop series is to bring together researchers with a common interest in the theory of coalgebras, their logics, and their applications.

7-11 May 2012, 17th Szklarska Poreba Conference on the Applications of
Logic in Philosophy and Foundations of Mathematics: "Part-whole theory", Szklarska Poreba, Poland
Our conference is an interdisciplinary meeting of philosophers, mathematicians and a wide spectrum of researchers whose interests are in the area of pure or applied logic. Each edition of our conference is devoted to a leading theme which usually concerns important issues and ideas in logic. One of them is the part-whole relation which has been intensively investigated by logicians, philosophers and mathematicians over the centuries. Since in the recent years one can observe a growing interest in this area, we decided to put into perspective the research on the part-whole problem. Therefore, the leading theme of the upcoming conference will be *Part-whole Theory*.
The detailed information regarding conference registration, submission of abstracts, and accommodation will be available on the conference's website at http://www.klmn.uni.wroc.pl/conference.html.
Contributions related to the leading theme and other topics in logic, logical philosophy, the foundations of mathematics and related areas are welcome. Submission deadline: April 13, 2012.

5-7 July 2012, Kant and Modality, Berlin, Germany
The conference Kant and Modality seeks to promote the important issues of Kant's theory of modality and to exchange ideas by bringing together scholars working on all issues relating to his conception and theory of modality. It takes place at Humboldt University of Berlin on July 5-7 2012.
For more information, see here
In addition to the invited speakers, two slots are available for presentation of 45 minutes, followed by 45 minutes of discussion. Those interested in presenting their work on any topic related to Kant's conception of modality should send a description of their topic along with a CV, no later than 15th of April. Priority will be given to topics focusing on Kant's theory of modality exclusively rather than in relation to other philosophers or fields of philosophy.

19-21 April 2012, 1st Conference on Games, Interactive Rationality and Learning (G.I.R.L.'12@Lund), Lund, Sweden
Formal philosophy relies increasingly on simulations, and sometimes on empirical test, coming closer to both computer-, cognitive- and social sciences. Some examples are learning-theoretic models of inquiry, network theory-based approaches in social epistemology, and game-theoretic evolutionary approaches of communication. The aim of the G.I.R.L.'12 Conference is to bring together researchers in philosophy, cognitive science and artificial intelligence, to investigate new areas where the game- and learning-theoretic simulation approaches can lead to fruitful results.

The third official meeting of the EUSFLAT Working Group on Mathematical Fuzzy Logic will be held on 10-14 September 2012 in Kanazawa, Japan. The conference is organized by Research Center for Integrated Science, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
Mathematical Fuzzy Logic is a subdiscipline of Mathematical Logic which studies the notion of comparative truth. The assumption that 'truth comes in degrees' has proved to be very useful in many, both theoretical and applied, areas of Mathematics, Computer Science and Philosophy. The main goal of this meeting is to foster collaboration between researchers in the area of Mathematical Fuzzy Logic, and to promote communication and cooperation with members of neighbouring fields. The deadline for contributions is 22 April 2012. The notification of acceptance/rejection will be sent until 3 June 2012.
For more information, see http://www.jaist.ac.jp/rcis/latd12/
We welcome contributions on any relevant aspects of related logical systems (such as substructural and quantum logics, and many-valued logics in general). We invite researchers interested in presenting a paper to submit a 2-4 pages abstract. The deadline for contributions is 22 April 2012.
