Mathematical Cultures 1 is the first of three on mathematics as culture and mathematics in culture. It is organized by a research network funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council under the 'science in culture' highlight notice, with additional support from the London Mathematical Society.

The first conference will gather research that explores and maps the variety of and connections among contemporary mathematical cultures. These can be research cultures, but may also include practitioner cultures (e.g. among engineers, economists, social scientists, etc.) and mathematical cultures among instructor and student groups (e.g. primary/secondary/tertiary teachers, school pupils, mathematics students at all levels). The project will not invite contributions on historically or culturally remote mathematical cultures except as these illuminate contemporary mathematical culture in developed societies.

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.

Expressivism is the view according to which normative utterances and thoughts, whether moral, aesthetic or epistemic, do not describe reality, but are rather the expression of practical attitudes. Such an analysis of normative utterances and thoughts in "non-cognitive" terms, as conative mental dispositions of agents, offers a promising way of naturalizing normative judgments. As a general theory of normative statements, however, expressivism runs into difficulties, such as the problem of truth-functional composition. The goal of the workshop is to foster interaction between defenders and critics of expressivism, to examine whether this view necessarily leads to a relativist or irrealist conception of norms, and, finally, to analyze the difficulties involved in integrating it into a general theory of epistemic normativity.

The conference will offer a forum for the presentation of multidisciplinary perspectives on the concept of time and its embodied, phenomenological experience as expressed in diverse systems, above all human language, and should thus be of interest to students and researchers in philosophy, anthropology and psychology of time.

Also welcome are scholars who investigate temporal experience, time expressions and categorization in language and literature, including metaphor and figurative language, learning-acquisition of temporal concepts as well as annotation and identification of temporal structures in language corpora. In addition, the organizers hope to attract researchers who propose cognitive, formal and other models of time and time-related dimensions in the framework of event structures.

In recent years we are witnessing a cognitive turn in logic. It results in inclusion of some areas of cognitive science, psychology and computer science into its hard core. Consequently, logic becomes capable of modelling actual cognitive activity of real life agents. This turn does not create a rival for the mathematical logic: it forms a next step in the development of logic. It also reminds that for many centuries logic stood in a close and natural relationship to the science of actual reasoning processes.

Poznan Logic and Cognition Conference is an initiative focusing on research on the interplay of logic, cognitive science, psychology and computer science which aim at sheding the light on actual reasoning processes.

Fundamental results in the mathematical theory of games were obtained early on in the 20th century by Zermelo, Borel, and von Neumann; after the publication of Theory of Games and Economic Behavior by von Neumann & Morgenstern in 1944, it quickly became of fundamental importance to economic theory, being applied later on to other fields such as biology, while in philosophy David Lewis¹ Convention was an important early application. Games also played a significant role within mathematics, especially in model theory with, e.g., the back-and-forth games, and with the work of Lorenzen in the 1950s and Hintikka in the 1960s, game semantics emerged, again leading to important developments in philosophy, e.g., within epistemic logic. Showing again the extraordinary fruitfulness and interdisciplinary nature of the concept of game, game semantics has become since a paradigm in logic and in computer science where it have been used inter alia to model interactive computation and multi-agents systems, as well as in linguistics and argumentation theory. The consequences on philosophy of these numerous developments need to be explored.

In an interdisciplinary spirit, this conference will bring together a number of key contributors to and welcomes papers on the concept of games, game theory and game semantics, with applications in economics, logic, computer science, linguistics, argumentation theory, and philosophy.

Logics provide a formal basis and key descriptive notation for the study and development of applications and systems in Artificial Intelligence (AI). With the depth and maturity of formalisms, methodologies, and systems today, such logics are increasingly important. The European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence began back in 1988, as a workshop, in response to the need for a European forum for the discussion of emerging work in this field. Since then, JELIA has been organized biennially, with English as the official language, and with proceedings published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. In 2012 the conference is organized in Toulouse, France. The increasing interest in this forum, its international level with growing participation from researchers outside Europe, and the overall technical quality, has turned JELIA into a major forum for the discussion of logic-based approaches to AI.

The aim of JELIA 2012 is to bring together active researchers interested in all aspects concerning the use of logics in Artificial Intelligence to discuss current research, results, problems, and applications of both theoretical and practical nature. JELIA strives to foster links and facilitate cross-fertilization of ideas among researchers from various disciplines, among researchers from academia and industry, and between theoreticians and practitioners.

Computational social choice is a rapidly growing discipline at the interface of social choice theory and computer science. It is concerned with the application of computational techniques to the study of social choice mechanisms, and with the integration of social choice paradigms into computing.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together different communities: computer scientists interested in computational issues in social choice; people working in artificial intelligence and multiagent systems who are using ideas from social choice to organize societies of artificial software agents; logicians interested in the logic-based specification and analysis of social procedures; computer science theorists analyzing algorithmic properties of social phenomena; and last but not least people coming from social choice theory itself.

Narratives are ubiquitous in human experience. We use them to communicate, convince, explain, and entertain. As far as we know, every society in the world has narratives, which suggests they are rooted in our psychology and serve an important cognitive function. It is becoming increasingly clear that, to truly understand and explain human intelligence, beliefs, and behaviors, we will have to understand why narrative is universal and explain (or explain away) the function it serves.

This meeting will be an appropriate venue for papers addressing fundamental topics and questions regarding narrative. Moreover, the meeting will have a special focus on the identification, collection, and construction of shared resources and corpora that facilitate the computational modeling of narrative. Papers should focus on issues fundamental to computational modeling and scientific understanding, or issues related to building shared resources to advance the field.

The purpose of the CLIMA Workshop Series is to provide a forum for discussing techniques, based on computational logic, for representing, programming and reasoning about agents and multi-agent systems in a formal way.

Following the previous, very successful, editions, the 13th CLIMA will be affiliated with ECAI 2012 and will take place in Montpellier, France, on the 27th and 28th of August 2012. In addition to CLIMA's regular topics and sessions, this edition will feature two special sessions, on Logics for Multi-Agent Programming and on Logics for Agreement Technologies

For more information, see http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~michael/clima2012.html

The targeted audience for the workshop are researchers associated with the fields working in the development of computational models for creativity, concept formation, concept discovery, idea generation, and their overall relation and role to general intelligence. Furthermore, researchers coming from application areas, like computer-aided innovation (CAI) are welcome to submit papers for this workshop.

For more information, see http://www.cogsci.uos.de/~c3gi. This workshop is part of ECAI 2012.

The International Conference will be held 25-26 August. The program will consist of a combination of invited talks and contributed talks based on papers submitted to the scientific committee of the event.

EASLLC'2012 will be held 27-31 August, and is a school for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, similar in spirit to the annual ESSLLI summer schools in Europe and also to the Sino-European Summer School on Logic, Language, and Computation, which took place in Guangzhou, China in December 2010.

The program of EASLLC 2012 will consist of nine courses in three different tracks: logic, language, and computation. The program will also feature one plenary evening talk for a wider audience given by one of the lecturers of the School. There will be student sessions in the late afternoon/early evening of some days of the School in which students will give short presentations of work in progress. In addition, a mentoring program is being planned. Selected students will be assigned one of the lecturers as mentor for informal interaction and discussions on research and career goals during the School.

This workshop will address the relation between core knowledge, language, music, and culture, with a view to assessing the current understanding of these questions for a theory of the mind/brain. We hope that the participants – scholars from fields as diverse as psychology, linguistics, neurobiology, neurolinguistics, music cognition, and cognitive anthropology – will contribute to defining a research program that may address both new and as yet unresolved research questions in this area.

The University of North Carolina will inaugurate an annual conference series, beginning in 2012, dedicated to complexity theory, with particular application to understanding the intricacies of human experience across all domains. The goal of the series is to provide a trans-disciplinary venue for scholars from the humanities and the social sciences, as well as some aspects of the natural sciences (such as neuroscience, pharmacology, etc.). Since matters of life and death pertain to human experience in profound and important ways, the conference hopes to attract representatives from the allied health sciences as well.

The conference series will be dedicated to a particular topic each year. The topic for our first conference will be: *Modeling Complexity in the Humanities and Social Sciences.*

The organizers aim to provide the opportunity for students and doctoral candidates of Philosophy to get in touch with other prospective or well established philosophers, take a first peek into the philosophical business, or simply to attend interesting presentations. Beside the conference presentations there will be two symposia, one on "causality" and one on analytic philosophy of religion.
