31 July 2022, 3rd Workshop on Explainable Logic-Based Knowledge Representation (XLoKR 2022), Haifa, Israel

Date: Sunday 31 July 2022
Location: Haifa, Israel
Deadline: Monday 2 May 2022

The problem of explaining why a consequence does or does not follow from a given set of axioms has been considered for full first-order theorem proving since at least 40 years, but there usually with mathematicians as users in mind. In knowledge representation and reasoning, efforts in this direction are more recent, and were usually restricted to sub-areas of KR such as AI planning and description logics. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different sub-areas of KR and automated deduction that are working on explainability in their respective fields, with the goal of exchanging experiences and approaches. The workshop will be co-located with KR 2022 at FLoC 2022.

We invite extended abstracts of 2-5 pages on topics related to explanation in logic-based KR. The papers should be formatted in Springer LNCS Style and can be submitted via EasyChair. Since the workshop will only have informal proceedings and the main purpose is to exchange results, we welcome not only papers covering unpublished results, but also previous publications that fall within the scope of the workshop.

A non-exhaustive list of areas to be covered by the workshop are the following: * AI planning * Answer set programming * Argumentation frameworks * Automated reasoning * Causal reasoning * Constraint programming * Description logics * Non-monotonic reasoning * Probabilistic representation and reasoning.

Date: 23 - 24 September 2022
Location: Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Deadline: Monday 2 May 2022

Logical and semantic frameworks are formal languages used to represent logics, languages and systems. These frameworks provide foundations for the formal specification of systems and computational languages, supporting tool development and reasoning. The LSFA series' objective is to put together theoreticians and practitioners to promote new techniques and results, from the theoretical side, and feedback on the implementation and use of such techniques and results, from the practical side.

LSFA topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Automated deduction * Applications of logical and semantic frameworks * Computational and logical properties of semantic frameworks * Formal semantics of languages and systems * Implementation of logical and semantic frameworks * Lambda and combinatory calculi * Logical aspects of computational complexity * Logical frameworks * Process calculi * Proof theory * Semantic frameworks * Specification languages and meta-languages * Type theory.

Contributions should be written in English and submitted in full paper (with a maximum of 16 pages excluding references) or short papers (with a maximum of 6 pages excluding references). They must be unpublished and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. The papers should be prepared in LaTeX using the EPTCS style.

12 August 2022, 36th International Workshop on Unification (UNIF 2022), Haifa, Israel

Date: Friday 12 August 2022
Location: Haifa, Israel
Deadline: Thursday 5 May 2022

UNIF 2022 is the 36th in a series of annual workshops on unification and related topics. Unification is concerned with the problem of identifying given (first- or higher-order) terms, either syntactically or modulo a theory. It is a fundamental technique that is employed in various areas of Computer Science and Mathematics. In particular, unification algorithms are key components in completion of term rewriting systems, resolution-based theorem proving, and logic programming. But unification is, for example, also investigated in the context of natural language processing, program analysis, types, modal logics, and in knowledge representation.

Just as its predecessors', the purpose of UNIF 2022 is to bring together researchers interested in unification theory and its applications, as well as closely related topics, such as matching (i.e., one-ided unification), anti-unification (i.e., the dual problem to unification), disunification (i.e., solving equations and inequations) and the admissibility problem (which generalizes unification in modal logics). It is a forum for presenting recent (even unfinished) work, and discuss new ideas and trends in this and related fields. UNIF 2022 is associated with IJCAR 2022 part of the Federated Logic Conference 2022.

Following the tradition of UNIF, we call for submissions of extended abstracts (5 pages) in EasyChair style. Abstracts will be evaluated by the Program Committee (if necessary with support from external reviewers) regarding their significance for the workshop. We also allow submission of work presented/submitted in/to another conference. Accepted abstracts will be presented at the workshop and made available at the Web-page of UNIF 2022. Depending on the number and quality of submissions a special issue in AMAI or MSCS is envisioned.

Date: 31 August - 2 September 2022
Location: Debrecen, Hungary
Deadline: Sunday 8 May 2022

The International conference MCU series traces its roots back to the mid 90's, and has always been concerned with gaining a deeper understanding of computation and universality through the study of models of general purpose computation.  The 9th edition of MCU will take place at the University of Debrecen in Hungary, it is co-located with DCFS 2022 and NCMA 2022. As long as travel conditions and the situation concerning the current humanitarian crisis in the neighboring Ukraine allow, the conference is planned to be on-site. If necessary, the possibility of both, in-person and online participation will be provided.

The scope of the conference topics includes, but is not limited to, computation in the setting of various discrete models (Turing machines, register machines, cellular automata, tile assembly systems, rewriting systems, molecular computing models, neural models...) and analog and hybrid models (BSS machines, infinite time cellular automata, real machines, quantum computing...) and the meaning and implantation of universality in these contexts. Particular emphasis is given towards search for frontiers between decidability and undecidability in the various models, search for the simplest universal models, computational complexity of predicting the evolution of computations in the various models. Parallel computing models and their connections to decidability, complexity and universality.

Submitted papers must describe work not previously published, and they must neither be accepted nor under review at a journal or at another conference with refereed proceedings. Authors are required to submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF using the LNCS style.  Papers should not exceed 15 pages; full proofs may appear in a clearly marked technical appendix which will be read at the reviewers' discretion. The submission process is managed by EasyChair.

A best paper and a best student paper will be selected by the program committee and announced during the conference. To be eligible for best student paper, except for at most one PhD adviser co-author, all co-authors and the person presenting the paper should at most have presented their PhD after September 1, 2021. A selection of papers will be invited to submit extended versions for publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science.

31 July 2022, Workshop "Advances in Separation Logics" (ASL 2022), Haifa, Israel

Date: Sunday 31 July 2022
Location: Haifa, Israel
Deadline: Tuesday 10 May 2022

The past two decades have witnessed important progress in static analysis and verification of code with low-level pointer and heap manipulations, mainly due to the development of Separation Logic (SL). SL is a resource logic, a dialect of the logic of Bunched Implications (BI) designed to describe models of the heap memory and the mutations that occur in the heap as the result of low-level pointer updates. The success of SL in program analysis is due to the support for local reasoning, namely the ability of describing only the resource(s) being modified, instead of the entire state of the system. This enables the design of compositional analyses that synthesize specifications of the behavior of small parts of the program before combining such local specifications into global verification conditions. Another interesting line of work consists in finding alternatives to the underlying semantic domain of SL, namely heaps with aggregative composition, in order to address other fields in computing, such as self-adapting distributed networks, blockchain and population protocols, social networks or biological systems.

ASL 2022 is a workshop affiliated to IJCAR 2022 at FLOC 2022. Keynote Speakers: Philippa Gardner (Imperial College London) and Ralf Jung (MIT CSAIL).

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. We consider short papers up to 8 pages and regular papers between 9 and 15 pages (LNCS style, references excluded) on topics including: * decision procedures for SL and other resource logics, * computational complexity of decision problems such as satisfiability, entailment and abduction for SL and other resource logics, * axiomatisations and proof systems for automated or interactive theorem proving for SL and other resource logics, * verification conditions for real-life interprocedural and concurrent programs, using SL and other resource logics, * alternative semantics and computation models based on the notion of resource, * application of separation and resource logics to different fields, such as sociology and biology.

11 August 2022, 4th Workshop on Interpolation: From Proofs to Applications (iPRA), Haifa, Israel

Date: Thursday 11 August 2022
Location: Haifa, Israel
Deadline: Tuesday 10 May 2022

Starting from Craig's interpolation theorem for first-order logic, the existence and computation of interpolants became an active research area, with applications in different fields, notably in verification, databases, and knowledge representation. There are challenging theoretical and practical questions, for model-theoretic as well as proof-theoretic approaches. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers working on interpolation and its various applications, based on different approaches, increasing the awareness of the automated reasoning community for challenging open problems related to interpolation.

iPRA 2022 is a workshop at the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) 2022. The workshop will include invited talks, invited tutorials (speakers to be announced), and contributed talks.

For the contributed talks, we solicit submissions in the form of abstracts. The authors of accepted abstracts are required to present their work at the workshop. A book of abstracts will be published online in advance of the event. We encourage submissions presenting work in progress, tools under development, as well as research of PhD students, such that the workshop can become a forum for active dialog. Presentations of recently published papers are also allowed and encouraged, but please indicate on your submission where the paper was published/presented.

Abstracts (at most one page, excluding references) or extended abstracts (at most 5 pages, excluding references) have to be submitted by the submission deadline. Submissions should be written in English, and preferably formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

For more information, see https://ipra-2022.bitbucket.io/.

31 July - 1 August 2022, FLoC Workshop on Proof Complexity, Haifa, Israel

Date: 31 July - 1 August 2022
Location: Haifa, Israel
Deadline: Tuesday 10 May 2022

Proof complexity is the study of the complexity of theorem proving procedures. The central question in proof complexity is: given a theorem F (e.g. a propositional tautology) and a proof system P (i.e., a formalism usually comprised of axioms and rules), 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 conference SAT'22.

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 * Relations to Computational Complexity. The abstracts will appear in electronic pre-proceedings that will be distributed at the meeting.

Abstracts (at most 2 pages, in LNCS style) are to be submitted electronically in PDF via EasyChair. Accepted communications must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.

The Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy invites papers, which have to be in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS style (template), in the following two categories: Full papers (12 pages max., including references, expected to report on new research that makes a substantial contribution to the field) and Extended abstracts (2 pages max., including references, can report on research in progress or other issues of interest).

All papers will be subject to blind peer review based on the standard criteria of relevance, significance of results, originality of ideas, soundness, and quality of the presentation. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings via CEUR-WS, and will be presented at the conference. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution for a special issue to be published in the Journal of Applied Logics.

15 - 16 August 2022, ESSLLI Workshop "End-to-End Compositional Models of Vector-Based Semantics"

Date: 15 - 16 August 2022
Location: Galway, Ireland
Deadline: Monday 16 May 2022

This workshop focuses on end-to-end implementations of vector-based compositional architectures. This means not only the elementary word embeddings are obtained from data, but also the categories/types and their internal composition so that neural methods can then be applied to learn how the structure of syntactic derivations can be systematically mapped to operations on the data-driven word representations. For this last step, the workshop invites approaches that do not require the semantic operations to be linear maps since restricting the meaning algebra to finite dimensional vector spaces and linear maps means that vital information encoded in syntactic derivations may be lost in translation.

On the evaluation side, we welcome work on modern NLP tasks for evaluating sentence embeddings such as Natural Language Inference, sentence-level classification, and sentence disambiguation tasks. Special interest goes out to work that uses compositionality to investigate the syntactic sensitivity of large-scale language models.

The workshop welcomes but is not limited to contributions addressing the following topics:
- End-to-end models of compositional vector-based semantics
- Supervised and unsupervised models for wide-coverage supertagging and parsing
- Approaches to learning word/sentence representations
- Tasks and datasets requiring or benefiting from syntax
- Analysis of model performance on syntactically motivated tasks
- Multi-task learning/joint training of syntactic and semantic representations
- Using compositional methods to assess neural network behaviour
- Explainable models of sentence representation

31 July - 1 August 2022, Dynamic Logic: new trends and applications (DaLí 2022), Haifa, Israel

Date: 31 July - 1 August 2022
Location: Haifa, Israel
Deadline: Wednesday 18 May 2022

Dynamic logic (DL), a generalisation of the logic of Floyd-Hoare introduced in the 70s by Pratt, is a well-known and particularly powerful way of combining propositions, for capturing static properties of program states, and structured actions, responsible for transitions from a state to another (and typically combined through a Kleene algebra to express sequential, non-deterministic, iterative behaviour of systems), into a formal framework to reason about, and verify, classic imperative programs. Over time Dynamic logic grew to encompass a family of logics increasingly popular in the verification of computational systems, and able to evolve and adapt to new, and complex validation challenges.

Dynamic logic is not only theoretically relevant, but it also shows enormous practical potential and it is indeed a topic of interest in several scientific venues, from wide-scope software engineering conferences to modal logic specific events. That being said, DaLí is the only event exclusively dedicated to this topic. It is our aim to once again bring together in a single place the heterogeneous community of colleagues which share an interest in Dynamic logic - from Academia to Industry, from Mathematics to Computer Science, - to promote their works, to foster great discussions and new collaborations.

Submissions of original papers (unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere) are invited on the general field of dynamic logic, its variants and applications, including, but not restricted to: - Dynamic logic, foundations and applications - Logics with regular modalities - Modal/temporal/epistemic logics - Kleene and action algebras and their variants - Quantum dynamic logic - Coalgebraic modal/dynamic logics - Graded and fuzzy dynamic logics - Dynamic logics for cyber-physical systems - Dynamic epistemic logic - Complexity and decidability of variants of dynamic logics and temporal logics - Model checking, model generation and theorem proving for dynamic logics.

1 August 2022, ICLP'22 Workshop on goal-directed execution of answer set programs, Haifa, Israel

Date: Monday 1 August 2022
Location: Haifa, Israel
Deadline: Friday 20 May 2022

Answer set programming is a successful extension of logic programming for solving combinatorial problems as well as knowledge representation and reasoning problems. Most current implementations of ASP work by grounding a program and using a SAT solver-like technology to find the answer sets. While this approach is extremely efficient, relying on grounding of the program leads to significant blow-up of the program size, and computing the whole model makes finding justification of an atom in the model hard. This limits the applicability of ASP to problems dealing with large knowledge bases. Goal-directed or query-driven execution strategies have been proposed that do not require grounding. The goal of this workshop is to foster discussion around challenges and opportunities that such approaches present.

Technical papers, position papers, as well as extended abstracts are welcome. Papers should be maximum 8 pages long and in LNCS Format. Submissions must be made via EasyChair

21 - 22 May 2022, Meeting in Internal Categoricity, Helsinki (Finland) & Virtual

Date: 21 - 22 May 2022
Location: Helsinki (Finland) & Virtual

The categoricity of an axiom system means that its non-logical symbols have, up to isomorphism, only one possible interpretation. The first axiomatizations of mathematical theories such as number theory and analysis by Dedekind, Hilbert, Huntington, Peano and Veblen were indeed categorical. These were all second order axiomatisations, suffering from what many consider a weakness, namely dependence on a strong metatheory, casting a shadow over these celebrated categoricity results. In finer analysis a new form of categoricity has emerged. It is called internal categoricity because it is perfectly meaningful without any reference to a metatheory, and it is now known that the classical theories, surprisingly even in their first order formulation, can be shown to be internally categorical.

In this workshop various aspects of and approaches to internal categoricity are presented and the following questions, among others, are discussed: What is the philosophical import/advantage of internal categoricity over ordinary categoricity? Is internal categoricity the right concept of categoricity? Does internal categoricity play a role also in first order theories?

21 - 27 May 2022, 2022 Program for Women and Mathematics "The Mathematics of Machine Learning"

Date: 21 - 27 May 2022
Location: New Jersey, U.S.A.
Target audience: women researchers at undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral and junior faculty level
Deadline: Tuesday 15 February 2022

Co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation, Lisa Simonyi, the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), and Princeton University Department of Mathematics, Women and Mathematics (WAM) is an annual program that aims to recruit and retain more women in mathematics. WAM aims to counter the initial imbalance in the numbers of men and women entering mathematics training as well as the higher attrition rate of female mathematicians compared to their male counterparts at every critical transition stage in mathematical careers. WAM encourages female mathematicians to form collaborative research relationships and to become active in a vertical mentoring network spanning a continuum from undergraduates to emerita professors, which provides support and reduces the sense of isolation experienced by many women in mathematics. While there are a number of women's programs targeted solely at undergraduates, or graduate students, or postdocs, very few programs provide the depth and breadth that come from simultaneously including features tailored for undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers from a broad spectrum of US institutions, all in one united community of scholars, as WAM does.

31 July 2022, The Fourth Workshop on Causal Reasoning and Explanation in Logic Programming (CAUSAL 2022), Haifa, Israel

Date: Sunday 31 July 2022
Location: Haifa, Israel
Deadline: Sunday 22 May 2022

Sophisticated causal reasoning has long been prevalent in human society and continues to have an undeniable impact on the advancement of science, technology, medicine, and other significant fields. From the development of ancient tools to modern roots of causal analysis in business and industry, reasoning about causality and having the ability to explain causal mechanisms enables us to identify how an outcome of interest came to be and gives insight into how to bring about, or even prevent, similar outcomes in future scenarios.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of logic programming with a dedicated focus on methods and trends emerging from the study of causality and explanation. The workshop will present the latest research and application developments in these areas and provide opportunities to discuss current and future research directions and relationships to other fields (e.g. Machine Learning, Diagnosis, Natural Language Processing and Understanding, Philosophy of Science). An important expected outcome of this workshop is to collect first-hand feedback from the ICLP  community about the role and placement of causal reasoning and explanation in the landscape of modern computer theory as well as in the software industry.

We welcome the submission of papers on systems, tools, and applications of logic programming methods for causal reasoning and explanation. In particular, we encourage submissions presenting recent developments, including works in progress. Submissions must describe original research and be prepared using the Springer LNAI/LNCS format and should be no longer than 13 pages.

CFP Special Issue of Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence on Symbolic Computation in Software Science

Deadline: Monday 23 May 2022

The purpose of this special issue of AMAI is to promote research on theoretical and practical aspects of symbolic computation in software science, combined with recent artificial intelligence techniques. Symbolic Computation is the science of computing with symbolic objects (terms, formulae, programs, representations of algebraic objects etc.). Powerful algorithms have been developed during the past decades for the major subareas of symbolic computation: computer algebra and computational logic. These algorithms and methods are successfully applied in various fields, including software science, which covers a broad range of topics about software construction and analysis. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence methods and machine learning algorithms are widely used nowadays in various domains and, in particular, combined with symbolic computation. Several approaches mix artificial intelligence and symbolic methods and tools deployed over large corpora to create what is known as cognitive systems. Cognitive computing focuses on building systems which interact with humans naturally by reasoning, aiming at learning at scale.

The special issue is related to the topics of the The 9th International Symposium on Symbolic Computation in Software Science - SCSS 2021. Participants of the symposium, as well as other authors are invited to submit contributions. This special issue welcomes original high-quality contributions that have been neither published in nor simultaneously submitted to any journals or refereed conferences. Submissions will be peer-reviewed using the standard refereeing procedure of the Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence. Submitted papers must be in English, prepared in LaTeX according to the guidelines of the journal.

The conference provides a unique opportunity for people from such diverse areas to meet, present work in progress and exchange ideas and knowledge.

The topics of interest include foundational work on various models and approaches for describing computability and complexity over the real numbers. They also include complexity-theoretic investigations, both foundational and with respect to concrete problems, and new implementations of exact real arithmetic, as well as further developments of already existing software packages. We hope to gain new insights into computability-theoretic aspects of various computational questions from physics and from other fields involving computations over the real numbers.

24 - 27 May 2022, 14th NASA Formal Methods Symposium (NFM 2022), Pasadena CA (U.S.A.) or virtual

Date: 24 - 27 May 2022
Location: Pasadena CA (U.S.A.) or virtual
Deadline: Friday 3 December 2021

The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission-critical and safety-critical systems at NASA and in the aerospace industry requires advanced techniques that address these systems' specification, design, verification, validation, and certification requirements. The NASA Formal Methods Symposium (NFM) is a forum to foster collaboration between theoreticians and practitioners from NASA, academia, and industry. NFM's goals are to identify challenges and to provide solutions for achieving assurance for such critical systems. The focus of the symposium will be on formal/rigorous techniques for software assurance, including their theory, current capabilities and limitations, as well as their potential application to aerospace during all stages of the software life-cycle.

The NASA Formal Methods Symposium is an annual event organized by the NASA Formal Methods (NFM) Research Group, composed of researchers spanning six NASA centers. The organization of NFM 2022 is being led by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), located in Pasadena, California. The symposium is planned to be held in person at California Institute of Technology, but potentially transitioning to fully virtual if the COVID situation persists. Virtual presentations will be possible even if the conference is held in-person.

21 - 27 May 2022, 2022 Program for Women and Mathematics "The Mathematics of Machine Learning"

Date: 21 - 27 May 2022
Location: New Jersey, U.S.A.
Target audience: women researchers at undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral and junior faculty level
Deadline: Tuesday 15 February 2022

Co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation, Lisa Simonyi, the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), and Princeton University Department of Mathematics, Women and Mathematics (WAM) is an annual program that aims to recruit and retain more women in mathematics. WAM aims to counter the initial imbalance in the numbers of men and women entering mathematics training as well as the higher attrition rate of female mathematicians compared to their male counterparts at every critical transition stage in mathematical careers. WAM encourages female mathematicians to form collaborative research relationships and to become active in a vertical mentoring network spanning a continuum from undergraduates to emerita professors, which provides support and reduces the sense of isolation experienced by many women in mathematics. While there are a number of women's programs targeted solely at undergraduates, or graduate students, or postdocs, very few programs provide the depth and breadth that come from simultaneously including features tailored for undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers from a broad spectrum of US institutions, all in one united community of scholars, as WAM does.

31 July 2022, The Third Workshop on Epistemic Extensions of Logic Programming (EELP 2022), Haifa, Israel

Date: Sunday 31 July 2022
Location: Haifa, Israel
Deadline: Thursday 26 May 2022

Several successful logic programming languages, evidenced by the availability of a multitude of solvers, industrial applications, and an active research community, have been proposed in the literature. Researchers have long recognized the need for epistemic operators in these languages. This led to a flurry of research on this topic, and renewed interest in recent years. A central question is that of the definition of a rigorous and intuitive semantics for such epistemic operators, which is still subject of ongoing research. Notions of equivalence, structural properties, and the inter-relationships between logic programming languages and established logics are all subjects being actively investigated. Another important topic is that of practical solvers to compute answers to logic programs that contain epistemic operators. Several solvers are actively developed, building on established solvers, or using rewriting-based approaches. For practical applications, additional language features are actively explored in order to be able to apply epistemic extensions of logic programming langauges to practical problems. The goal of this workshop is to facilitate discussions regarding these topics and a productive exchange of ideas.

This workshop is part of the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) 2022, to take place in Haifa, Israel.

We welcome two categories of submissions: Full Papers, that is, original, unpublished research (at most 15 pages), and Extended Abstracts of already published research (at most 2 pages). All submissions should be in the Springer LNCS format. Paper submission will be handled electronically by means of the Easychair system. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Submissions to other conferences and journals both in parallel and subsequent to EELP 2022 are allowed.

31 July - 1 August 2022, LICS Workshop "LogTeach-22: Why & how to teach logic for CS undergraduates?", Haifa, Israel

Date: 31 July - 1 August 2022
Location: Haifa, Israel
Deadline: Monday 30 May 2022

Logic is one of the pillars of the foundation of Computer Science, together with Algorithmic Mathematics, Information Theory, and Electronics. Consequently various versions of Logic courses used to be part of the undergraduate syllabus of Computer Science. However, as witnessed by the variety of conferences related to Logic present at the FLoC event, the emphasis has moved from the foundation to applications of Logic in Computer Science. Each of these conferences deal with topics suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, which require some Logic based prerequisite. On the other hand, Logic courses in the undergraduate syllabus have been forced to make place for courses deemed more suitable for the education of future specialists and practitioners working in IT. Many of the top Universities worldwide have dropped foundational Logic courses for undergraduates for more practical oriented courses, turning undergraduate CS programs into programs more suitable for what used to be vocational colleges and professional schools.

Time has come to critically reflect upon and reevaluate the role of Logic in the undergraduate syllabus. It seems clear that the classical Logic in CS courses have no place there anymore. They seem to teach and emphasize the wrong narrative of logic as taught by tradition. However, it seems also clear that eliminating Logic courses all together is counter productive. The purpose of the workshop is the prepare a proposal for a logic course Logic-2020 which is useful and acceptable for University undergraduates in CS, and which can serve as a prerequisite for the many diverse branches of applied logic.

We plan to have presentations of position papers (30 minutes, including discussion). All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

  • Full papers discussing the purpose of teaching Logic for CS undergraduates
  • Position paper proposing a syllabus for  teaching Logic for CS undergraduates, as one course, within several compulsory courses, or arguing for dropping logic all together.
