11 August 2006, The Sixth International Workshop on Reduction Strategies in Rewriting and Programming, Sheraton Towers, Seatlle, Washington, USA

Date: Friday 11 August 2006
Location: Sheraton Towers, Seatlle, Washington, USA
Deadline: 8 May 2006

Reduction strategies in rewriting and programming have attracted an increasing attention within the last years. Research in this field ranges from primarily theoretical questions about reduction strategies to very practical application and implementation issues. The need for a deeper understanding of reduction strategies in rewriting and programming, both in theory and practice, is obvious, since they bridge the gap between unrestricted general rewriting (computation) and (more deterministic) rewriting with particular strategies (programming). Moreover, reduction strategies provide a natural way to go from operational principles (e.g., graph and term rewriting, narrowing, lambda-calculus) and semantics (e.g., normalization, computation of values, infinitary normalization, head-normalization) to implementations of programming languages.

The workshop intends to promote and stimulate international research and collaboration in the area of evaluation strategies. It encourages the presentation of new directions,developments and results as well as surveys and tutorials on existing knowledge in this area.

For more information, see http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~antoy/wrs06/

Submission deadline for abstracts is May 8, 2006.

11 May 2006, Workshop "Philosophical and
Psychological Perspectives on Number", Brussel

Date: Thursday 11 May 2006
Location: Brussel

The aim of this workshop is to bring together psychologists and philosophers who are studying the epistemological and ontological foundations of number.Key topics are: what are numbers? How do we acquire knowledge about them? What is the role of language and other cultural factors in acquiring numerical concepts? What neural correlates underlie numerical competence? What are the implications of psychological foundations of number for the philosophy of mathematics? We expect that bringing together philosophers and psychologists will foster a unique cross-fertilization for both fields. As the workshop will have an in-depth, focused character, we have invited eminent scholars in psychology and philosophy whose work has deepened the understanding of the nature and knowledge of number.

18-20 May 2006, Kurt Gödel: The Writings,
Maison de la recherche, University of Lille III, France

Date: 18-20 May 2006
Location: Maison de la recherche, University of Lille III, France
Costs: € 10

As Gödel scholars are now becoming increasingly familiar not only with the texts in the Collected Works but also with the still unpublished ones in the Archive, we see changes in our understanding of Gödel's work: his results in logic, the development of which has now begun to be traced in much more detail, but also his philosophical reflections, the full importance of which is becoming ever clearer. The aim of this workshop will be to discuss Gödel's writings and to present and compare different perspectives on the philosophy and career of this logician. We will study his writings in order better to understand his intellectual development, his own reflections on his logical theorems, and, finally, the concomittant metaphysics that he hoped to develop.

The official languages will be English and French

16 January - 7 July 2006, Logic and Algorithms

Date: 16 January - 7 July 2006
Location: Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences

Theoretical Computer Science is broadly divided into disciplines dealing with logic, semantics and formal methods on the one hand, and algorithmics and computational complexity on the other. The Newton Institute Semester Programme will focus on active areas of research that cut across this divide, dealing with algorithmic and complexity aspects of logic as well as logical methods in complexity.

Satellite workshops include 'Workshop on Finite and Algorithmic Model Theory', 'Logic and Databases', 'Mathematics of Constraint Satisfaction', 'New Directions in Proof Complexity', 'Constaints and Verification' and 'Games and Verification'.

25-28 May 2006, Third Annual Austin-Berkeley-CMU Formal Epistemology Workshop, UC-Berkeley, USA

Date: 25-28 May 2006
Location: UC-Berkeley, USA

The purpose of these workshops is to bring together individuals, both faculty and graduate students, using mathematical methods in epistemology in small focused meetings. Besides papers with respondents, each workshop will typically include short introductory tutorials (three or four topically related presentations) on formal methods. These tutorials will be oriented particularly to graduate students.
