The Symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory (FCT) was established in 1977 for researchers interested in all aspects of theoretical computer science, and in particular algorithms, complexity, formal and logical methods. FCT is a biennial conference. The last preceding Symposia were held in Gdansk, Liverpool, Oslo, Wroclaw, Budapest, Lübeck. FCT 2017 will take place in Bordeaux, France.

There will be four invited talks at FCT 2017. The invited speakers are: Thomas Colcombet, Martin Dietzfelbinger, Juraj Hromkovic and Anca Muscholl. There will also be one invited talk in memoriam of Zoltan Esik given by Jean-Eric Pin.

CiE 2017 is the thirteenth 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.

Special sessions include Algorithmics for biology, Combinatorics and algorithmics on words, Computability in Analysis, Algebra, and Geometry, Cryptography and information theory, Formal languages and automata theory, and History and philosophy of computing.

In various areas of computer science, such as logic, computation, program development and verification, artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, and automated reasoning, there is an obvious need for using specialized formalisms and inference systems for selected tasks. To be usable in practice, these specialized systems must be combined with each other and integrated into general purpose systems. This has led - in many research areas - to the development of techniques and methods for the combination and integration of dedicated formal systems, as well as for their modularization and analysis.

The International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS) traditionally focusses on these types of research questions and activities. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2017 seeks to offer a common forum for research in the general area of combination, modularization, and integration of systems, with emphasis on logic-based ones, and of their practical use.

FroCoS 2017 will be co-located with the 26th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2017) and the 8th International Conference on Interactive Theorem-­Proving (ITP 2017).

Scope: Provability and definability in arithmetics, model theory and arithmetics, (un)decidability of arithmetics, modelling computations on logical theories.

This meeting is dedicated to Yuri Matiyasevich on the occasion of his 70th birthday, and one conference day will be dedicated to topics related to the research interests of Yuri Matiyasevich (Hilbet's Tenth Problem and its generalizations, undecidability).

FMCAD 2017 is the seventeenth in a series of conferences on the theory and applications of formal methods in hardware and system verification. FMCAD provides a leading forum to researchers in academia and industry for presenting and discussing groundbreaking methods, technologies, theoretical results, and tools for reasoning formally about computing systems. FMCAD covers formal aspects of computer-aided system design including verification, specification, synthesis, and testing.

JéTou (Journées d'études Toulousaines) is an international conference for young researchers bringing together Master's and PhD students, as well as young researchers having defended their thesis less than 3 years ago, working in different areas of Linguistics. The 6th edition will be devoted to the topic "Interfaces in Linguistics".

The main focus of the conference will be on the works at the interface of 1) linguistics and computer science, 2) linguistics, psychology, and neuroscience, and 3) linguistics, language acquisition, language learning and language teaching. However, any work that is interdisciplinary in nature will be given full consideration. Proposals combining theoretical considerations with work on linguistic data are particularly encouraged.

Charles Peirce introduced the term 'ampliative' for reasoning in which the conclusion of an argument goes beyond that what is already contained in its premises. The workshop is devoted to the philosophical analysis of different forms of ampliative reasoning as they occur in scientific practice, such as abduction, inductive generalisation, reasoning by analogy and causal reasoning. We aim at a mix of contributions from formal, methodological and historical  perspectives.

Keynote speakers: Chiara Ambrosio, Ulrike Hahn and Bert Leuridan.

Keynote speakers: Frances Egan, Ahmed Elgammal, Alan Leslie, Martina Manns, Albert Newen, Jonas Rose, Tobias Schlicht and Markus Werning.

AFM is a workshop centered around the use and integration of highly automated formal verification tools for specification, interactive theorem proving, satisfiability (SAT) and satisfiability modulo theories (SMT), model checking, program verification, static analysis, runtime verification, code generation, and testing, as well as interfaces, documentation, and education.

It consists of both invited talks and contributed papers on May 19, and tutorials covering recent progress in tools such as PVS, SAL/SALLY/HybridSAL, Yices, SeaHorn, Radler, and Bixie. AFM functions both as a user's meeting for SRI's tools such as PVS, SAL, and Yices, and as a workshop for those interested in state of the art automation for formal methods generally.

The ICAS 2017 (International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems) is a multi-track event covering related topics on theory and practice on systems automation, autonomous systems and autonomic computing.
Special tracks include FUCOMA (Fuzzy Cognitive Maps), IoIT (Internet of Intelligent and Autonomic Things) and DEMAS (Deliberative Multi-Agent Systems).

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 seventh 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 developing 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".

Invited Speakers: Dmitriy Zhuk (Moscow State University), Branislav Kisacanin (Nvidia Corporation), Tsutomu Sasao (Meiji University).

In this lecture series, we present a body of theorems formally derivable from the axioms of “object theory”. The axioms are motivated and presented in the first lecture, and once they are in place, we define a variety of abstract objects and systematize them by deriving the their governing principles as theorems. We identify and derive principles governing: truth-values, logical classes, situations, possible worlds, impossible worlds, concepts (including complete individual concepts), Forms, fictions, Fregean senses, Fregean (natural) numbers, and theoretical mathematical individuals and relations generally.

The objectives of the course are to familiarize participants with the theory of objects, developed and defended by Prof. Ed Zalta, and to more generally discuss the topics with which it deals, such as: logical classes, situations, possible and impossible worlds, concepts, Forms, fictions, Fregean senses, Fregean numbers, and mathematical individuals and relations.

Paul Spade famously complained in 2000 that four key components of late medieval logic were mysterious to modern scholars. Since then, much has been done to clarify two of them (obligations and supposition), but the other two (exposition and proofs of propositions) remain just as mysterious. The aim of this workshop is to reach a clearer understanding of the genre of 'proofs of propositions' (probationes propositionum) that came to characterize British logic in the second half of the 14th century. We would also welcome contributions that shed some light on the earlier theories of 'exposition' that were subsumed into this new genre.

Our invited speakers are Jennifer Ashworth, Harald Berger, Egbert Bos, Martin Dekarli, Ota Pavlícek and Joke Spruyt.

CILC (Italian Conference on Computational Logic) is the annual conference organized by GULP (Group of researchers and Users of Logic Programming). Since the first event of the series, which took place in Genoa in 1986, the annual GULP conference represents the main opportunity for users, researchers and developers working in the field of computational logic to meet and exchange ideas. Over the years the conference broadened its horizons from the specific field of logic programming to include declarative programming and applications in neighboring areas such as artificial intelligence and deductive databases.

The purpose of the meeting is to foster the cross-fertilization of ideas stemming from different areas of theoretical computer science. In particular, it provides an ideal environment where junior researchers and PhD students can meet senior researchers.

ICTCS 2017 is co-located with the 32nd Italian Conference on Computational Logic CILC 2017 with which it will share part of the program.

The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers interested in the computation, annotation, extraction, and representation of meaning in natural language, whether from a lexical or structural semantic perspective. IWCS embraces both symbolic and statistical approaches to computational semantics, and everything in between.

The topic of this workshop is one of the objectives of our research project P12-HUM-1216 “La génesis del conocimiento matemático: cognición, historia y prácticas”. We aim to investigate the changing configuration of relations between pure and “applied” maths in different periods, with particular attention to the “classical” era (17th and 18th centuries) contrasted with the “modern” 19th and early 20th centuries.

The invited speakers are Helmut Pulte (Ruhr Universität Bochum-RUB), Ivahn Smadja (Université de Paris Diderot – Paris 7 & Lab. Sphère) and Robert DiSalle (University of Western Ontario).

Classification has always been a central theme in mathematics. The study of Borel Reducibility of Equivalence Relations deals with the classification of points of standard Borel spaces up to equivalence relations by explicit, or Borel, mappings between such spaces.

This idea gives rise to a notion of complexity of equivalence relations, and tools from Descriptive Set Theory are used to compare such relations and measure their complexities.

The SGSLPS 2017 Spring meeting on "Borel Reducibility of Equivalence Relations" will feature four hour-long talks by leading experts in the field. The first talk will be introductory and will aim at a general audience.

It is our greatest pleasure to announce the first edition of the School on Foundations of Programming and Software systems. The school is jointly funded by EATCS, ETAPS, ACM SIGLOG, and ACM SIGPLAN. The topic of the first edition is Probabilistic programming. It will take place in Braga, Portugal, May 29th - June 4th 2017.

Probabilistic programming languages are used for modelling and analysis purposes across multiple areas of computer science, including machine learning, security, and quantitative biology. In particular, they provide a rigorous foundation for machine learning where they are used to describe probabilistic models and to perform inference in presence of uncertain information. Probabilistic programs are also used in cryptography and in privacy for modelling and quantifying security. The goal of the school is to introduce attendants to theoretical and practical aspects of programming languages, and will propose courses that cover the following topics: semantics, analysis, verification, applications to machine learning, privacy, and security. The school will have lectures by Andy Gordon, Catuscia Palamidessi, Christel Baier, Dexter Kozen, Frank Wood, Hongseok Yang, Javier Esparza, Michael Carbin, Peter Selinger, Prakash Panangaden, Sriram Sankaranarayanan, and Vitaly Shmatikov.

The BLAST Conference Series circulates among different universities and focuses on Boolean Algebras, Lattices, Algebraic Logic, Quantum Logic, Universal Algebra, Set Theory, Set-theoretic Topology and Point-free Topology. This year's installment of the BLAST conference series will take place on the campus of Vanderbilt University from August 14 to August 18, 2017. It honors the life and memory of Bjarni Jónsson. The scientific program will include nine invited lectures, three tutorials and contributed talks. It is worth mentioning that there will be a spectacular solar eclipse in Nashville on August 21st, so perhaps some participants may elect to stay on for a few days after the conference.

This is a preliminary announcement. Additional information will be provided in the beginning of April.

Even though deontic logic has long been concerned with the relation between obligation and permission, this relation is usually understood the other way around. Obligations imply permissions, or permissions constrain the promulgation of further obligations. However, exercising one's rights, or acting on one's permission can also generate obligations for others. For instance, debtors are obligated to comply when their creditors exercise their right to request payment. Free trade agreements place their signatories under the obligation not to pass protectionist regulations. This aspect has received comparatively little attention. This special issue of Studia Logica aims at filling this gap by focusing on the essential aspects of obligations generated from permissions.

Guest Editors: Piotr Kulicki (KUL, Lublin, Poland) and Olivier Roy (UNI Bayreuth, Germany).

Progress in science is not only a matter of new models and theories, but also of new ways of reasoning and arguing for specific conclusions. In this conference, we focus on these epistemological features of science and consider the following questions: Which new reasoning and argumentation schemes do contemporary scientists use? How are these schemes justified, and how can they be assessed? Is it possible to come up with a unified normative theory of reasoning and argumentation in science? The conference focuses on reasoning and argumentation in the sciences in general, but there will also be a special focus on reasoning in specific natural and social sciences.

Keynote Speakers: Catarina Dutilh Noaves, Christian List and Wayne Myrvold.
