15 - 19 July 2019, 15th Conference on Computability in Europe (CiE 2019), Durham, England

Date: 15 - 19 July 2019
Location: Durham, England
Deadline: Wednesday 1 May 2019

CiE 2019 is the 15th 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.

The CiE conferences serve as an interdisciplinary forum for research in all aspects of computability, foundations of computer science, logic, and theoretical computer science, as well as the interplay of these areas with practical issues in computer science and with other disciplines such as biology, mathematics, philosophy, or physics.

Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, we invite researchers to present informal presentations of their recent work. A proposal for an informal presentation must be submitted via EasyChair, using the LNCS style file, and be 1 page; a brief description of the results suffices and an abstract is not required. Informal presentations will not be published in the LNCS conference proceedings. Results presented as informal presentations at CiE 2019 may appear or may have appeared in other conferences with formal proceedings and/or in journals.

TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research on all aspects - theoretical foundations, implementation techniques, systems development and applications - of the mechanization of tableaux-based reasoning and related methods is presented. Tableau methods offer a convenient and flexible set of tools for automated reasoning in classical logic, extensions of classical logic, and a large number of non-classical logics. For many logics, tableau methods can be generated automatically. Areas of application include verification of software and computer systems, deductive databases, knowledge representation and its required inference engines, teaching, and system diagnosis.

TABLEAUX 2019 will be co-located with the 12th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2019). The conferences will provide a rich programme of workshops, tutorials, invited talks, paper presentations and system descriptions.

We invite submissions on any of the topics of interest to the conference. Submissions are invited in three categories:
(A) research papers reporting original theoretical research or applications, with length up to 15 pages;
(B) system descriptions, with length up to 9 pages;
(C) position papers and brief reports on work in progress, with length up to 9 pages.

We also welcome papers describing applications of tableau procedures to real-world examples. Such papers should be tailored to the tableau community and should focus on the role of reasoning and on logical aspects of the solution.

29 - 30 June 2019, 3rd International Workshop on Trends in Linear Logic and Applications (TLLA 2019), Dortmund, Germany

Date: 29 - 30 June 2019
Location: Dortmund, Germany
Deadline: Wednesday 1 May 2019

Linear Logic is not only a proof theoretical tool to analyse or control the use of resources in logic and computation. It is also a corpus of tools, approaches, and methodologies that, even if developed for studying Linear Logic syntax and semantics, have been applied in several other fields. The TLLA international workshop aims at bringing together researchers working on Linear Logic or applying it or its tools. The main goal is to present and discuss trends in the research on Linear Logic and its applications by means of tutorials, invited talks, open discussions, and contributed talks.

Contributions are not restricted to talks presenting an original results, but open to tutorials, open discussions, and position papers. For this reason, we strongly encourage contributions presenting work in progress, open questions, and research projects. Contributions presenting the application of linear logic results, techniques, or tools to other fields, or vice versa, are most welcome.

23 - 27 July 2019, Kurt Goedel's Legacy: Does Future lie in the Past?, Vienna, Austria

Date: 23 - 27 July 2019
Location: Vienna, Austria
Deadline: Wednesday 15 May 2019

In 1949, Kurt Gödel showed that there exist solutions to Einstein's equations of general relativity allowing for closed timelike curves. The existence of such curves would allow time travel into one's own past leading to all kind of causality paradoxes. Today there is an ongoing debate on how physical such solutions are and whether general relativity would prevent the formation of regions where causality violation is possible. Closely related are Gödel's philosophical ideas on the existence of time, a subject that he intensively discussed with Einstein in Princetown. 'In my view Kurt Gödel's papers represent an important contribution to general relativity, especially his analysis of the concept of time.' said Einstein.

The Kurt Goedel Society intends to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Gödel's seminal publication and the 100th anniversary of the decisive experimental verification of general relativity by organizing a conference at the University of Vienna, Austria. This event will bring together the prominent researchers from the fields of Physics, Mathematics, Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence. The conference will be enhanced with a special exhibition about life and work of Kurt Gödel with emphasis on Gödel's solution.

Program will consist of the invited talks, contributed talks and posters. Submissions of contributed talks and posters can be submitted through the ConfMaster system. Abstracts must written English. They should not be submitted elsewhere. Copyright remains with the author; the Kurt Godel Society is granted the right of use.

31 October - 2 November 2019, 30th Novembertagung on the History and Philosophy of Mathematics, Strasbourg, France

Date: 31 October - 2 November 2019
Location: Strasbourg, France
Deadline: Wednesday 15 May 2019

The Novembertagung on the History and Philosophy of Mathematics is an annual international conference aimed at PhD and postdoctoral students (young scholars) in the history and philosophy of mathematics.

Mathematical knowledge is commonly thought of as being essentially universal: its truths are eternal and incontrovertible, its propositions understandable and agreeable by all, independent of linguistic, cultural, ethnic or religious backgrounds. However, global knowledge, as mathematics seems to be, is always produced locally. As such, it hinges upon collectively shared ways of practicing, writing, and communicating mathematics. This year's Novembertagung invites participants to reflect on the theme 'Mathematical Cultures, Values, & Norms'. The invited speakers are June Barrow-Green (Open University) and Roy Wagner (ETH Zurich).

We are looking for contributions by PhD students and early career researchers on the theme of this years conference: Mathematical Cultures, Values and Norms. Contributions less strictly related to this theme are also welcome; however, establishing links with the theme will allow for more fruitful discussions, and as such is recommended. We are happy to host presentations pertaining to historical, historiographical, or philosophical discussions of this theme.

23 - 25 September 2019, Workshop on Ontology of Social, Legal and Economic Entities (SoLEE 2019), Graz, Austria

Date: 23 - 25 September 2019
Location: Graz, Austria
Deadline: Wednesday 15 May 2019

Understanding the ontological nature of social, legal and economic concepts and institutions is crucial for providing principled modelling in many important domains such as enterprise modelling, business processes, and social ontology. A significant number of fundamental concepts that are ubiquitous in economics, social, and legal sciences - such as value, risk, capability, good, service, exchange, transaction, competition, social norm, group, institution - have only recently been approached from a specifically ontological perspective. It is therefore important to offer a venue to gather the recent contributions to this topic.

This workshop is part of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2019), and relates mainly to two previous events (SoLE-BD and Ontology of Economics 2018).  The goals of the workshop are:
- to collect approaches to deal with social, legal and economic entities in foundational and applied ontologies,
- discuss applications of these approaches to social, legal and economic entities in ontologies for biomedicine and business informatics, and
- serve as a meeting point for stakeholders from applied ontology and the respective domain disciplines.

The workshop encourages submissions on both theoretical and methodological issues in the use of ontologies for modelling social, legal and economic concepts and institutions, as well as submissions on concrete use of ontologies in application for these domains. Papers should be between 5 and 10 pages long be formatted according to the IOS Press formatting guidelines.

7 July 2019, International Workshop on Quantified Boolean Formulas and Beyond (QBF 2019), Lisbon, Portugal

Date: Sunday 7 July 2019
Location: Lisbon, Portugal
Deadline: Wednesday 15 May 2019

Quantified Boolean formulas (QBF) are an extension of propositional logic which allows for explicit quantification over propositional variables. Many problems from application domains such as model checking, formal verification or synthesis can be encoded as a QBF in a natural way. Considerable progress has been made in QBF solving throughout the past years. However, in contrast to SAT, QBF is not yet widely applied to practical problems in academic or industrial settings. The goal of the International Workshop on Quantified Boolean Formulas and Beyond (QBF 2019) is to bring together researchers working on theoretical and practical aspects of QBF solving.

In addition to that, it addresses (potential) users of QBF in order to reflect on the state-of-the-art and to consolidate on immediate and long-term research challenges. The workshop also welcomes work on reasoning with quantifiers in related problems, such as dependency QBF (DQBF), quantified constraint satisfaction problems (QCSP), and satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) with quantifiers.

Submissions of extended abstracts are invited and will be managed via Easychair. The following forms of submissions are solicited:
- Proposals for short tutorial presentations on topics related to the workshop.
- Talk abstracts reporting on already published work.
- Talk proposals presenting work that is unpublished or in progress.

Submissions which describe novel applications of QBF or related  formalisms in various domains are particularly welcome. Additionally, this call comprises known applications that have been shown to be hard for QBF solvers in the past as well as new applications for which present QBF solvers might lack certain features still to be identified.

5 - 9 August 2019, ESSLLI 2019 Workshop on Semantic Spaces at the Intersection of NLP, Physics, and Cognitive Sciences, Riga, Latvia

Date: 5 - 9 August 2019
Location: Riga, Latvia
Deadline: Friday 17 May 2019

Vector embeddings of word meanings have become a mainstream tool in large scale natural language processing tools. The use of vectors to represent meanings in semantic spaces or feature spaces is also employed in cognitive science. Unrelated to natural language and cognitive science, vectors and vector spaces have been extensively used as models of physical theories and especially the theory of quantum mechanics.

Exploiting the common ground provided by vector spaces, the proposed workshop will bring together researchers working at the intersection of NLP, cognitive science, and physics, offering to them an appropriate forum for presenting their uniquely motivated work and ideas.

We invite original contributions (up to 12 pages) of previously unpublished work. Submission of substantial, albeit partial results of work in progress is welcomed.

We also invite extended abstracts (3 pages) of previously published work that is recent and relevant to the workshop. These should include a link to a separately published paper or preprint.

22 - 24 May 2019, International Conference on Simplicities & Complexities, Bonn, Germany

Date: 22 - 24 May 2019
Location: Bonn, Germany
Deadline: Tuesday 15 January 2019

Throughout the 20th century the sciences have approached more and more complex phenomena, in tune with the increased social relevance of scientific knowledge. The perceived need to address complexity head-on has led to a broader reaction against simplification and reductionism within the sciences. However, if simplicity, in its various outfits, has proven an unreliable guide, what should it be replaced with? Looking at the various strategies of addressing complexity in the sciences and the disciplines reflecting upon them, it appears that the notion is at least as variegated as simplicity.

The aim of the conference is to analyze, differentiate, and connect the various notions and practices of simplicity and complexity, in physics as well as in other sciences. We invite contributors from a spectrum of disciplines, scientists and scholars reflecting on their respective and neighboring research fields, as well as historians, philosophers, and sociologists of science investigating the epistemologies, practices, and discourses of fellow epistemic communities. The conference will thrive on intense discussion surpassing disciplinary boundaries.

A workshop affiliated with the 13th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS 2019)

Formal tools coming from logic and category theory are important in both natural language semantics and in computational semantics. Moreover, work on these tools borrows heavily from all areas of theoretical computer science. In the other direction, applications having to do with natural language has inspired developments on the formal side. The workshop invites papers on both topics.

Invited speakers: Krasimir Angelov (Gothenburg), Rafaella Bernardi, (Trento).

30 - 31 May 2019, Logic in London I, London, England

Date: 30 - 31 May 2019
Location: London, England

The workshop brings together researchers working on the logic and the philosophy of type-free notions such as functions, classes, properties, and propositions.

Due to the logical paradoxes, the traditional approach arranges such entities in hierarchies: type-theory and traditional set theory are well-known examples. The resulting picture has the obvious drawback of leaving out many legitimate objects. For instance, many innocuous circular properties and propositions cannot be assigned a place in the hierarchical approach. Similarly, it is not possible to accommodate propositions expressing quantification over all levels in a hierarchy.

The aim of the workshop is to explore and compare different approaches to type-free notions that overcome such shortcomings. It will focus in particular on the formal frameworks employed to model them, and on their philosophical motivations and applications.

30 - 31 May 2019, Does Time Always Pass? Temporalities in Scientific Narratives, London, England

Date: 30 - 31 May 2019
Location: London, England
Deadline: Friday 17 May 2019

The standard view of narrative is inextricably bound up with the passage of time. Narrative scholars are convinced that time is an essential element in any narrative, and it has been thought equally essential, though treated in different ways, by philosophers of history. But exactly how to think about time in the narratives of science is not self-evident. And if we look at how scientists use time in narratives, we see a number of different ways in which it is taken into account and is deployed.

In this workshop, organised as a collaboration between the Narrative Science Project and The Royal Institution, the focus will be on the different temporalities in narratives as they occur in scientific discourses. The obvious loci for such explorations are what are generally referred to as the historical sciences, that is, those that seek to reconstruct the past on the basis of what can be observed in the present. However, time and its narrative expression are to be found in a wide variety of places, some of which will be explored by the speakers at the workshop. Throughout the workshop, the question of how essential time is to narrative will remain open for argument.

20 - 22 September 2019, 11th Semantics and Philosophy in Europe Colloquium (SPE11), Warsaw, Poland

20 - 23 August 2019, Workshop on Mathematical Logic and Constructivity (MLoC 2019): The Scope and Limits of Neutral Constructivism, Stockholm, Sweden

Date: 20 - 23 August 2019
Location: Stockholm, Sweden
Deadline: Friday 31 May 2019

This workshop aims to focus on the scope and limits of neutral constructivism. With Errett Bishop's seminal work Foundations of Constructive Analysis 1967, a neutral position in the foundations of constructive mathematics emerged. It avoided Brouwer's assumptions about choice-sequences and continuity, and it did not assume that every total function on the natural numbers is computable. Successful full-fledged formal logical foundations for neutral constructivism exists, among the most well-known are Aczel-Myhill set theory and Martin-Löf type theory. The study of neutral constructivism paves the way for further developments of interactive proof systems, which is of strategic importance for verification of software, and in particular, correctness-by-construction software.  Neutral constructive mathematics may also be studied for systems that make fewer ontological assumptions, which is important for reverse mathematics.

Proposals for contributed talks are welcome and are to be submitted via the EasyChair system.

23 - 25 September 2019, 4th International Workshop on Cognition and Ontologies (CAOS 2019), Graz, Austria

Date: 23 - 25 September 2019
Location: Graz, Austria
Deadline: Friday 31 May 2019

The purpose of the workshop is to bridge the gap between the cognitive sciences and research on ontologies and, thus, to create a venue for researchers interested in interdisciplinary aspects of knowledge representation. More specifically CAOS addresses the difficult question of how key cognitive phenomena and concepts (and the involved terminology) can be found across language, psychology and reasoning and how this can be formally and ontologically understood, analyzed and represented.

We aim to address to an interdisciplinary audience, by inviting scholars in philosophy, computer science, logic, conceptual modelling, knowledge representation, and cognitive science to contribute to the discussion.

This workshop is part of The Joint Ontology Workshops JOWO 2019.

We welcome submissions on topics related to the ontology of hypothesized building blocks of cognition (such as image schemas, affordances, and related notions) and of cognitive capacities (such as concept invention, language acquisition), as well as system-demonstrations modelling these capacities in application settings. We also welcome submissions addressing the cognitive and epistemological adequacy of ontological modelling.

We welcome two types of submissions:
- Regular articles (8-12 pages including the bibliography) for presenting original unpublished work, neither submitted to, nor accepted for, any other venue.
- Short articles (6 pages including the bibliography) for presenting brief descriptions of ongoing research and projects, preliminary approaches, position papers, or descriptions of related previously published research.

23 - 25 September 2019, 3rd Workshop on Foundational Ontology (FOUST III) , Graz, Austria

Date: 23 - 25 September 2019
Location: Graz, Austria
Deadline: Friday 31 May 2019

Foundational ontologies are attempts to systematise those categories of thought or reality which are common to all or almost all subject-matters. Commonly considered examples of such categories include 'object', 'quality', 'function', 'role', 'process', 'event', 'time', and 'place'. Amongst existing foundational ontologies, there is both a substantial measure of agreement and some dramatic disagreements. There is currently no uniform consensus concerning how a foundational ontology should be organised, how far its 'reach' should be (e.g., is the distinction between physical and non-physical entities sufficiently fundamental to be included here?), and even what role it should play in relation to more specialised domain ontologies.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to present work on specific foundational ontologies as well as foundational ontologies in general and their relations to each other and to the wider ontological enterprise. The FOUST III workshop will be co-located with the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2019).

We encourage different types of contribution: full research paper (not exceeding 10 pages) and short papers (not exceeding 6 pages). Both types must include an abstract of no more than 300 words.

23 - 25 September 2019, 2nd International Workshop on Bad Or Good Ontology (BOG 2019), Graz, Austria

Date: 23 - 25 September 2019
Location: Graz, Austria
Deadline: Friday 31 May 2019

As ontologies are used in more domains and applications and as they grow in size, the consequences of bad ontology design become more critical. Bad ontologies may be inconsistent, have unwanted consequences, be ridden with anti-patterns, or simply be incomprehensible. In general, bad ontologies present design mistakes that make their use and maintenance problematic or impossible.

This workshop, part of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2019), aims to bring together research on all aspects to bad or good ontology design, including use cases and systematic reviews of bad or good ontology design, techniques and tools for diagnosing, explaining, and repairing bad ontologies, and approaches or benchmarks for evaluating such techniques.

We welcome original contributions about all topics related to bad or good ontologies, including but not limited to: - systematic analysis of ontologies for symptoms of bad ontology design - cataloguing of symptoms of bad ontology design - methods for detecting or explaining symptoms - metrics and methods to gauge ontology quality - design methods that likely result in bad ontologies - principled methods to avoid building bad ontologies - benchmarks of bad or good ontologies for evaluating diagnostic and repairing methods.

Submissions should be uploaded via EasyChair. They can be accepted for publication as short papers (between 5 - 7 pages) or regular papers (between 10 - 12 pages).

For more information, see http://bog.inf.unibz.it/.
