29 May - 1 June 2008, 2008 International Workshop on Truth Values, Dresden, Germany
The purpose of the 2008 International Workshop on Truth Values is to present and discuss work on various interrelated aspects of truth-values: philosophical, logical and algebraic among them. The topics of the workshop include:
- the philosophical elucidation and theoretical explication of the notion of a truth value;
- general formal tools for a uniform treatment of various logical,
mathematical and philosophical aspects of truth values and valuational
systems within a joint theoretical framework;
- the interpretation of logical calculi as valuational systems, the
development of general methods of formalizing (in axiomatic, sequent,
tableau etc. style) logical theories on the basis of a given system of
truth values and the examination of their syntactic and semantic
properties;
- the investigation of topical problems of many-valued logics, such as
Suszko's Thesis, truth value gaps, logical and semantical paradoxes etc.;
- possible applications of generalized truth values and generalized truth
value functions in various areas of philosophical and mathematical
interest.

20 October 2008, Game Theory in Communication Networks (GameComm 2008), Athens, Greece
The Workshop on Game theory in Communication networks (GameComm) is a one-day meeting held in conjunction with the 3rd International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools (VALUETOOLS'08, http://www.valuetools.org/).
The distributed nature of wireline and wireless communication networks gives rise to many challenges related to their analysis, control, and management. The selfish nature of users, development of decentralized control mechanisms, and fair allocation of system resources are among major issues in networks research. Consequently, game theoretic methods are increasingly utilized to gain a deeper understanding of these complex problems and systems. Specifically, game theoretic models have been used in the context of Internet pricing, flow and congestion control, routing, power control, and recently security, among many other topics. The application of game theory to communication networks has attracted researchers from a variety of disciplines, including computer science, operations research, control theory, and economics.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers who are interested in all aspects of the application game theory to the analysis and design of communication networks. The goal is to display the state-of-the-art in this evolving field, as well as stir discussion and outline possible directions for further progress.
For more information, see http://www.game-comm.org/
The GameComm 2008 workshop solicits technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research on all aspects of game theoretical analysis as it applies to communication networks. Submission deadline: June 10, 2008. Selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the Telecommunication Systems Journal dedicated to GameComm 2008.
6-10 August 2008, BLAST 2008 (Boolean Algebra, Lattice Theory, Algebra, Set Theory, Topology), Denver CO, USA

The conference will include tutorials, as well as a mini-course in Forbidden Configurations in Lattices.
We would very much appreciate a (non-committing) reply to blast at math.du.edu indicating your level of interest in the conference at the moment. This will be very useful in our planning for local accommodation, transportation and classroom reservations. Please reply by March 30.

29-30 August 2008, Graduate Philosophy Conference on Normativity, Universiteitsbibliotheek, Singel 425, 1012 WP Amsterdam.
It has been strongly argued that human rationality, language, and meaning are intrinsically normative, and that as such they cannot be described in purely naturalistic terms. But how are we conceive of normativity? Taking this question as our starting point, we are interested in bringing together young researchers who are working towards a model that helps explain the nature of norms underlying human cognition and (linguistic) behaviour.
We are happy to announce that the conference's two confirmed
keynote speakers are:
- James O'Shea (University College Dublin)
- Allan Gibbard (University of Michigan)
We invite papers on a broad range on topics relating to this theme. Contributions may concern - but need not be limited to - the following questions:
- What is normativity and what are its sources?
- How do norms differ from causes?
- How relevant is normativity in accounting for meaning in natural language?
- What is the nature of norms in human reasoning and decision-making and how do they bind us?
- How do social practices and individual factors determine or constrain norms underlying human reasoning?
- What is the normative force of conventions in communication?

23 June 2008, Intuitionistic Modal Logic and Applications (IMLA'08), Pittsburgh PA, U.S.A.
Constructive modal logics and type theories are of increasing foundational and practical relevance in computer science. Applications are in type disciplines for programming languages, and meta-logics for reasoning about a variety of computational phenomena.
Theoretical and methodological issues center around the question of how the proof-theoretic strengths of constructive logics can best be combined with the model-theoretic strengths of modal logics. Practical issues center around the question which modal connectives with associated laws or proof rules capture computational phenomena accurately and at the right level of abstraction.
This LICS'08 affiliated workshop will bring together designers, implementers, and users to discuss all aspects of intuitionistic modal logics and type theories.
