11-15 July 2016, NASSLLI workshop on Statistical and Logical Models of Meaning (SaLMoM), Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA

Date: 11-15 July 2016
Location: Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA
Deadline: 1 April 2016

Mathematical models of natural language semantics oscillate between the two opposing approaches of word-based statistical and sentence-based compositional. Word-based models rely on the ideas of Harris and Firth that words occurring in similar contexts have similar meanings. Compositional models, in the sense of Montague 1970, systematically associate the steps of a syntactic derivation with semantic operations acting on the interpretations of the constituents. This workshop is an attempt to bring together active researchers of these seemingly separate approaches to address problems of both theoretical and practical nature.

One major goal is to introduce the statistical researchers to the advanced type-logical techniques that have been developed to handle challenging grammatical phenomena; the second one is to help the researchers of the logical field to enhance their systems with vector representations. The overall goal is to help both groups collaborate to develop systems where both word vectors and complex grammatical structures can be reasoned about in a compositional and computationally tractable way.

For more information, see https://sites.google.com/site/statlogmeaning/.

We invite submissions in the form of 2-page abstracts on topics relating statistical and logical models of natural language. This can be a summary of an already published paper or a new contribution. Submissions will be evaluated as to their potential for establishing meaningful links between the logical and statistical approaches. Deadline: April 1st 2016.

2-3 April 2016, 13th International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science (CMCS'16), Eindhoven, The Netherlands

Date: 2-3 April 2016
Location: Eindhoven, The Netherlands

In more than a decade of research, it has been established that a wide variety of state-based dynamical 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. The aim of the CMCS workshops is to bring together researchers with a common interest in the theory of coalgebras, their logics, and their applications. As the workshop serie strives to maintain breadth in its scope, participation by researchers in neighbouring areas is strongly encouraged.

Keynote speaker: Jiri Adamek (Braunschweig, Germany). Invited speakers: Andreas Abel (Gothenburg, Sweden) and Filippo Bonchi (CNRS/ENS Lyon, France). There will be a special session on weighted automata, with invited tutorials by Borja Balle (Lancaster, UK) and Alexandra Silva (UC London, UK). CMCS'16 is co-located with ETAPS 2016.

3 April 2016, 3rd Workshop on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis (HCVS 2016), Eindhoven, The Netherlands

Date: Sunday 3 April 2016
Location: Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Deadline: 5 February 2016

This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the two communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP) and Program Verification (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI) on the topic of Horn clause based analysis, verification and synthesis.

Most Program Verification and Synthesis problems of interest can be modeled directly using Horn clauses and many recent advances in the CLP and CAV communities have centered around efficiently solving problems presented as Horn clauses. Horn clauses for verification and synthesis have been advocated by these two communities in different times and from different perspectives and this workshop is organized to stimulate interaction and a fruitful exchange and integration of experiences.

7-9 April 2016, Workshop "Roots of Deduction", Groningen, The Netherlands

Date: 7-9 April 2016
Location: Groningen, The Netherlands

Over the past five years the VISI research project 'Roots of Deduction', directed by Catarina Dutilh Novaes, has investigated the historical, cognitive and philosophical roots of deduction. The main focus of the project has been a particular multi-agent dialogical account of deduction, the 'built-in opponent' conception of deduction. This has been used in the project to inform analyses of ancient Greek conceptions of logic and deduction; to help us to understand mathematical cognition and cognitive biases; and to shed light on classical and contemporary problems in the philosophy of logic.

The closing workshop of the project is taking place on April 7-9 (starting right after lunch, ending just before lunch) at the Faculty of Philosophy in Groningen.

All welcome, but if you wish to attend the workshop, please drop us a note, as we only have a limited number of spots. For more information, see https://sites.google.com/site/therootsofdeduction/

25 June 2016, Third Symposium for the History and Philosophy of Programming (HaPoP 2016), Paris, France

Date: 25 June 2016
Location: Paris, France
Deadline: 14 April 2016

One major challenge throughout the history of programming is the development of an interface between humans, software and hardware. It has been the task of the so-called operating system to: maintain a file system; regulate access to resources; synchronize operations; etc. Today, Operating Systems are usually equipped with Graphical User interfaces (GUI) designed to give the 'user' a 'friendly' experience thus hiding – and sometimes even rendering inaccessible – much of the underlying structure and features of the computing machinery. The aim of the current symposium is to offer an opportunity for historical and philosophical reflection on operating systems and the programs they coordinate.

Our approach is interdisciplinarity and openness towards different fields relevant to HaPoC. We were and are strongly convinced that such trans- and interdisciplinarity is necessary if one wants to reflect on a discipline such as computer science with its multidimensional nature. The current symposium will be organized in a similar manner and invites researchers coming from a diversity of backgrounds, including historians, philosophers, logicians and computer scientists who want to engage with topics relevant to the history and philosophy of programming and more specifically that of operating systems.

For more information, see http://hapoc.org/hapop3

The Programme Committee cordially invites researchers working in a field relevant to the main topics of the symposium to submit an abstract. Abstract should be submitted at the latest by (extended deadline) April 14, 2016.

Location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Deadline: 15 April 2016

We are happy to announce that the Commission for the History and Philosophy of Computing will submit a proposal for the organization of the DHST/DLMPS HaPoC symposium titled 'The Ubiquity of Computing: historical and philosophical issues'.

The history of information and communication technologies (ICTs), despite its approximately 70 years, has already shown a rich accumulated experience coming from the most diversified initiatives, efforts and pioneering projects. Fully incorporated into reality, to the point of being considered ubiquitous, ICTs can be considered mature enough to bring about a balance that seeks to account for its past and its origins. A more extensive study of their history surely contributes to establish a valuable research field and to consolidate an international community of historians and philosophers of ICTs, discussing and framing propositions that can help to inspire and produce future developments.

For more information, see http://hapoc.org/node/176.

We cordially invite all colleagues to submit a proposal to this symposium. The present Call for Contributions is an opportunity to evaluate papers related to the theme 'The Ubiquity of Computing: historical and philosophical issues; to include them into the Proposal to be submitted to the ICHST. Contributions from the most diverse areas of knowledge and professional practices are welcome. For this symposium, contributions should present different dimensions of the history and philosophy of computing, with arguments and propositions based on testimonials, documented sources, references, and discussion of related bibliography. Deadline for submission: 15 April 2016.

9 July 2016, Second Workshop on Bridging the gap between human and automated reasoning, New York NY, U.S.A.

Date: 9 July 2016
Location: New York NY, U.S.A.
Deadline: 18 April 2016

Human reasoning or the psychology of deduction is well researched in cognitive psychology and in cognitive science. Automated deduction, on the other hand, is mainly focusing on the automated proof search in logical calculi. Recently a coupling of the areas of cognitive science and automated reasoning is addressed in several approaches. For example there is increasing interest in modeling human rea- soning within automated reasoning systems including modeling with answer set programming, deontic logic or abductive logic programming. There are also various approaches within AI research.

This workshop is intended to get an overview of existing approaches and make a step towards a cooperation between computational logic and cognitive science. The workshop will be held in conjunction with IJCAI-16 and is supported by IFIP TC12.

For more information, see http://ratiolog.uni-koblenz.de/bridging2016

Papers, including the description of work in progress are welcome. Full Paper submission deadline: April 18th, 2016.

18-19 April 2016, REINS Workshop Responsible Intelligent Systems in Perspective; where Computer Science, Philosophy and Legal Theory meet, Utrecht, The Netherlands

Date: 18-19 April 2016
Location: Utrecht, The Netherlands

Our tendency to delegate responsibilities to machines (self-driving cars, algorithmic trading, military drones, autonomous surveillance systems, etc.) leads to pressing questions that call for answers from an interdisciplinary perspective. Computer scientists can contribute by studying how to design responsible AI, but they first need to know exactly what is meant by that. Philosophers may be able to tell them what responsibility is, but may find it hard to operationalise their insights in such fundamental topics as action, freedom, ethics, norms, and reasons. And that is where legal theorists may be of help, as they are used to think about the relation between abstract notions like fairness, justice, duty, excuse, complicity, causality and their concrete reflections in the rules of law.

On April 18-19 2016, we organise an interdisciplinary workshop where we bring together researchers from Philosophy, Computer Science and Legal Theory to exchange views on the subject of responsible intelligent systems.

Attendance is free and open to all academics. To enable us to estimate how much coffee and sandwiches we have to order, we would be happy if you let us know if you plan to come by sending an email to with the subject 'Attendance REINS workshop'. Please mention your name and affiliation so that we can make a name tag for you to wear at the workshop.

27 June - 1 July 2016, Computability in Europe 2016 (CiE 2016), Paris, France

Date: 27 June - 1 July 2016
Location: Paris, France
Deadline: 23 April 2016

CiE 2016 is the twelfth conference organized by CiE (Computability in Europe), a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists, philosophers, physicists and others interested in new developments in computability and their underlying significance for the real world.

CiE 2016's Motto is: "Pursuit of the Universal". The year 2016 brings the eightieth anniversary of the publication of Alan Turing's seminal paper featuring the Universal Turing Machine. Just as the semantics of the machine gave rise to Incomputability, and pointed to future directions in proof theory, AI, generalised computability, the underlying role of typed information and natural language, and the computability and definability underpinning bioinformatics: so our conference subtitle honours Turing's role in anticipating the quest for universal computational frameworks across a wide spectrum of scientific and humanist disciplines.

For more information, see http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/CIE2016/

The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers (European and non-European) to submit their papers in all areas related to computability for presentation at the conference and inclusion in the proceedings. Papers that build bridges between different parts of the research community are particularly welcome. Submission deadline: 15 December 2015.

In addition to the formal presentations based on our LNCS proceedings volume, we invite researchers to present informal presentations. For this, please send us a brief description of your talk (between one paragraph and two pages) by the deadline April 23, 2016, via EasyChair, selecting the category "Informal Presentation".

22-27 May 2016, 6th Summer School on Formal Techniques (SSFT16), Atherton CA, U.S.A.

Date: 22-27 May 2016
Location: Atherton CA, U.S.A.
Deadline: 30 April 2016

Techniques based on formal logic, such as model checking, satisfiability, static analysis, and automated theorem proving, are finding a broad range of applications in modeling, analysis, verification, and synthesis. This school, the sixth in the series, will focus on the principles and practice of formal techniques, with a strong emphasis on the hands-on use and development of this technology. It primarily targets graduate students and young researchers who are interested in studying and using formal techniques in their research. A prior background in formal methods is helpful but not required. Participants at the school will have a seriously fun time experimenting with the tools and techniques presented in the lectures during laboratory sessions.

The main lectures in the summer school will be preceded by a background course on logic taught by Natarajan Shankar (SRI)and Stephane Graham-Lengrand (Ecole Polytechnique) on "Speaking Logic".

Applicants are urged to submit their applications before April 30, 2016, since there are only a limited number of spaces available. Non-US applicants requiring US visas are requested to apply early. For more information, see http://fm.csl.sri.com/SSFT16

5-9 September 2016, Syntax Meets Semantics (SYSMICS 2016), Barcelona, Spain

Date: 5-9 September 2016
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Deadline: 30 April 2016

Substructural logics are formal reasoning systems that refine classical logic by weakening structural rules in a Gentzen-style sequent calculus. Intuitionistic, many-valued, linear logics, are typical examples. Traditionally, substructural logics have been investigated using proof theoretic and algebraic methods. In recent years, combined approaches have started to emerge. The programme of the SYSMICS conference will focus on interactions between syntactic and semantic methods in substructural logics. This open conference is the first of a series of meetings planned in the SYSMICS RISE project during 2016-2019.

For more information, see http://sysmics-16.iiia.csic.es/

The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Contributed talks can be on any topic related to substructural logic. The Programme Committee accepts submissions of abstracts ranging from 2 to 4 pages. Deadline for submissions: 30 April 2016.
