5 - 8 August 2018, Fifteenth International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2018), Lake Kochel, Germany

Date: 5 - 8 August 2018
Location: Lake Kochel, Germany
Deadline: Monday 2 April 2018

The conference is concerned with the theory of computability and complexity over real-valued data.

Most mathematical models in physics and engineering 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. 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 conference CCA 2018 is held in Honour of Klaus Weihrauch's 75th Birthday, and is preceded by the conference Computability in Europe (CiE 2018) that takes place in Kiel, in the north of Germany, from July 30 to August 3, 2018.

Authors are invited to submit 1-2 pages abstracts in PDF format, including references.

For more information, see http://cca-net.de/cca2018/.

6 - 10 August 2018, ESSLLI Workshop on Ambiguity: Perspectives on Representation & Resolution (ARR), Sofia, Bulgaria

Date: 6 - 10 August 2018
Location: Sofia, Bulgaria
Deadline: Monday 2 April 2018

There are various approaches to ambiguity from a wide variety of perspectives. This is due to the fact that ambiguity exists and arises on many different levels of natural language. We want to bring together scholars working on different aspects of ambiguity, in particular to approach the following questions:
1. What is the core of this phenomenon?
2. What is the common ground in approaching the phenomenon?
3. What can be gained by combining different approaches?

Our special focus is thus on bringing together approaches seeing ambiguity as a mere computational problem and approaches seeing it as a linguistic phenomenon with some interest in itself.

The conference invites extended abstracts of 2 pages (excluding references) related to the workshop themes. Extended abstracts should lay out original, unpublished research and/or implementation results. We would like to encourage a variety of submissions relating to any dimension of ambiguity. Depending on number and quality of submissions, and interest of authors, we plan to edit a special issue of worked out papers of contributions to the workshop.

14 - 15 June 2018, Workshop on Dialogue and Perception 2018 (DaP 2018), Gothenburg, Sweden

Date: 14 - 15 June 2018
Location: Gothenburg, Sweden
Deadline: Wednesday 4 April 2018

The study of dialogue investigates how natural language is used in interaction between interlocutors and how coordination and successful communication is achieved. However, studies on dialogue have often taken for granted that we align our perceptual representations, an unsustainable assumption when we consider interactions between agents with obviously different perceptual capabilities, such as humans and avators or robots.

Contrarily, studies of perception have focussed on how an agent interacts with and interprets the information from their perceptual environment. In the last decade there has been impressive progress on integrated approaches to language, action, and perception. However, these have a limited integration to the dynamics of dialogue and often fail to take into account the incremental and context sensitive nature of language and the environment.

The aim of this workshop is to initiate a genuine dialogue between these related areas and to examine different approaches from computational, linguistic and psychological perspectives and how these can inform each other. It will feature invited talks by leading researchers in these areas, and high level contributed papers, presented as posters, selected through open competition and rigorous review.

We invite papers of between 2-4 pages of content and up to one additional page for references, following the ACL style guidelines. The conference proceedings will be published online, with an ISSN, on the CLASP website. Authors will have the opportunity to extend their papers for the post-proceedings and will retain the copyright of their papers and be free to publish them elsewhere, with acknowledgement.

Date: 7 - 8 July 2018
Location: Oxford, England
Deadline: Sunday 15 April 2018

Strategic reasoning is one of the most active research area in multi-agent system domain. The literature in this field is extensive and provides a plethora of logics for modeling strategic ability. Theoretical results are now being used in many exciting domains, including software tools for information system security, robot teams with sophisticated adaptive strategies, and automatic players capable of beating expert human adversary, just to cite a few. All these examples share the challenge of developing novel theories and tools for agent-based reasoning that take into account the likely behavior of adversaries.

The SR international workshop, held within FLOC 2018, aims to bring together researchers working on different aspects of strategic reasoning in computer science, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view.

The morning sessions will be devoted to tutorials on topics closely related to strategic reasoning, namely cooperative game theory (by Edith Elkind) and parity games (by Marcin Jurdziński).

We invite submissions reporting on published work, original contributions, and challenging open problems. In all three categories, submissions will be evaluated using he usual high standards of research publications. Strong preference will be given to papers whose topic is of interest to a broad, interdisciplinary audience and all contributions should be written so that they are accessible to such an audience.

7 - 8 July 2018, Workshop "Programming & Reasoning on Infinite Structures" (PARIS), Oxford, England

Date: 7 - 8 July 2018
Location: Oxford, England
Deadline: Sunday 15 April 2018

Developing formal methods to program and reason about infinite data, whether inductive or coinductive, is challenging and subject to numerous recent research efforts. The understanding of the logical and computational principles underlying these notions is reaching a mature stage as illustrated by the numerous advances that have appeared in the recent years. The workshop aims at gathering researchers working on these topics as well as colleagues interested in understanding the recent results and open problems of this line of research.

7 - 8 July 2018, Workshop on Proof Complexity 2018 (PC 2018), Oxford, England

Date: 7 - 8 July 2018
Location: Oxford, England
Deadline: Sunday 15 April 2018

Proof complexity is the study of the complexity of theorem proving procedures. The central question in proof complexity is: given a theorem F and a proof system P, what is the size of the smallest proof of F in the system P? Moreover, how difficult is it to construct a small proof? Many ingenious techniques have been developed to try to answer these questions, which bare tight relations to intricate theoretical open problems from computational complexity (such as the celebrated P vs. NP problem), mathematical logic (e.g. separating theories of Bounded Arithmetic) as well as to practical problems in SAT/QBF solving.

The workshop will be part of FLoC and will be affiliated with the conferences SAT'18 and LICS'18.

We welcome 1-2-page abstracts presenting (finished, ongoing, or if clearly stated even recently published) work on proof complexity. Particular topics of interest are Proof Complexity, Bounded Arithmetic, Relations to SAT/QBF solving, and Relations to Computational Complexity. The abstracts will appear in electronic pre-proceedings that will be distributed at the meeting. Accepted communications must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.

Date: 28 - 31 August 2018
Location: Berne, Switzerland
Deadline: Sunday 22 April 2018

Mathematical Fuzzy Logic is the sub-discipline of Mathematical Logic that is concerned with the notion of comparative truth. The assumption that "truth comes in degrees" has proved to be very useful in many theoretical and applied areas of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Philosophy. The LATD conference series started as an official meeting of the working group on Mathematical Fuzzy Logic and has evolved into a wider meeting in algebraic logic and related areas. Its main goal is to foster collaboration between researchers in these areas, and to promote communication and cooperation with members of neighbouring fields.

We invite contributions on any relevant aspects of logical systems (including many-valued, fuzzy, substructural, modal and quantum logics). Abstracts of contributed talks, 2-4 pages, are to be prepared using the EasyChair class style and submitted via EasyChair.

1 - 3 August 2018, International Conference "Varieties of Mathematical Abstraction", Vienna, Austria

Date: 1 - 3 August 2018
Location: Vienna, Austria
Deadline: Monday 30 April 2018

Mathematical abstraction is a general phenomenon, a process by which we generalize from the properties and relations of particular objects to the abstract, mathematical structure that those objects exhibit. It is a process that can be iterated to achieve higher levels of abstraction, and plays an important role in shaping how we think about and understand empirical phenomena. The main objective of this conference is to explore the philosophical significance of mathematical abstraction from different perspectives: metaphysically, epistemologically, historically, and practically. Particular attention will be devoted to the role of abstraction in mathematical practice.

We invite the submission of abstracts, suitable for a 40 minute presentation (followed by 20 minutes for questions), on topics related to any aspects of mathematical abstraction. We encourage submissions from early career researchers and PhD students. Abstracts should be prepared for blind review.

30 April - 2 May 2018, Workshop on Medieval Logic & its Contemporary Relevance, St. Andrews, Scotland

Date: 30 April - 2 May 2018
Location: St. Andrews, Scotland
Deadline: Thursday 1 February 2018

Studying medieval logic can make us aware of the consequences of certain ideas in at least two ways. First, the problems that medieval logicians were tackling are in many cases still with us today and still unresolved, more so than in some more recent periods. Secondly, though medieval academia was small in comparison to its modern counterpart, logic played a key role in the medieval curriculum and was the object of close attention by some remarkably perceptive thinkers. So the study of medieval logic has particular contemporary relevance and can yield many insights into contemporary puzzles in philosophy of logic. The object of the workshop is to encourage investigation into these connections and to showcase notable examples.

30 April - 4 May 2018, Applied Category Theory 2018 (ACT 2018), Leiden, the Netherlands

Date: 30 April - 4 May 2018
Location: Leiden, the Netherlands
Target audience: researchers and practitioners of applied category theory

The workshop is heavily slanted toward discussion and collaboration. We want to instigate a multi-disciplinary research program in which concepts, structures, and methods from one discipline can be reused in another. Tangibly and in the short-term, we will bring together people from different disciplines in order to write an expository survey paper that grounds the varied research in applied category theory and lays out the parameters of the research program.

A limited number of speakers will give overview talks intended to instigate discussion, including Samson Abramsky (Oxford), John Baez (UC Riverside), Kathryn Hess (EPFL), Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh (Queen Mary) and David Spivak (MIT).
