Location: Tilburg (The Netherlands) / Lausanne (Switzerland)
Deadline: 1 June 2010

The respective parts of the Philosophy Departments at Bochum (Germany), Lausanne (Switzerland) and Tilburg (The Netherlands) coordinate their graduate education in philosophy of language, mind and science. In this context, week-long meetings are organized which bring together students from all three locations as well as interested graduate students from other universities. Each meeting focuses on one main topic, which is covered in extended tutorials by invited speakers. Additionally, students are invited to present and discuss their own work. The graduate school is kindly sponsored by the DAAD within the Bi-national Graduate Program.

This year's Tilburg week is focused on "Calculation, Intuition, and A Priori Knowledge", and is embedded in the series of biannual René Descartes Lectures, which will this year be delivered by Professor Ian Hacking (Toronto/Paris). There will also be two mini-tutorials, held by James Conant (Chicago) and Martin Kusch (Vienna), on aspects of Professor Hacking's work.

This year's Lausanne week focuses on reductionism in philosophy of mind and neuroscience. The main lecturer is John Bickle. Further invited speakers are Mauro Dorato, Michael Heidelberger, Max Kistler, Albert Newen, Michael Pauen, and Joëlle Proust.

For more information, see http://www.uvt.nl/tilps/blt2010/ and http://www.unil.ch/philo/page64150.html.

Graduate students in Philosophy are cordially invited to attend the School, and to submit an extended abstract for contributed talks. We invite submissions of short and extended abstracts, before 1 July 2010.

1 June 2010, Computational Humanities Workshop at ICCS 2010

Date & Time: 1 June 2010, 13:00-15:00
Location: Tropenmuseum, Mauritskade 63, Amsterdam

Computational Humanities is a new, largely unexplored, field which is situated at the interface between the humanities and the (exact) sciences, in particular information science. The humanities differ from the sciences in their concern with expressions of the human mind, such as language, literature, music, art and history. While computational approaches to the humanities exist since the 1960s, it is only during the last decade or so that digitized data have become available in such quantities that we can observe the emergence of a new overarching field. One of the major aims of this field is to automatically detect novel patterns and concepts in historical, musical, textual and artistic data that are (practically) impossible to find by hand. While initial work in computational humanities focused on local and low-level patterns, there is a shift towards unraveling more complex, higher-level patterns such as the notion of theme in literature, style in painting and music, and long-term relations in history. The goal of this workshop is (1) to give an introduction to this upcoming field, and (2) to investigate to what extent computational humanities share models and techniques with other areas of computational science.

4-6 June 2010, Modern formalisms for Pre-Modern Indian Logic and Epistemology, Hamburg, Germany

Date: 4-6 June 2010
Speaker: Piotr Balcerowicz, Jonardon Ganeri, Klaus Glashoff, Marie-Helene Gorisse, Wilfrid Hodges, Laurent Keiff, Birgit Kellner, Claus Oetke, Graham Priest, Shahid Rahman, Sara Uckelman
Location: Hamburg, Germany

The Indian traditions of logic and epistemology do not fit into the deductive paradigm of mathematical logic which forms the foundations of a large part of current philosophical logic. Instead, intersubjectivity and interaction play an important role. In this respect, they are siumilar to large parts of the Western medieval and early modern logic traditions (e.g., the obligationes or the Logique du Port Royal).

In the past decades, logicians focused on the interactive paradigm and investigated logics of knowledge, belief and communication. These logics have been successfully used in the formalization of Western medieval texts. We expect that similar successes are possible in the field of Indian logic and epistemology. Our workshop will be an encounter between the two relevant research communities.

22-25 October 2010, 30 Years of Nonmonotonic Logic, Lexington KY, U.S.A.

Date: 22-25 October 2010
Location: Lexington KY, U.S.A.
Deadline: 11 June 2010

The publication of the seminal issue on Nonmonotonic Logics by the Artificial Intelligence Journal in 1980 resulted in the new area of research in Knowledge Representation. This development changed the paradigm of logic originated in antiquity, created an important area of mathematical logic, and resulted in exciting discoveries of logical techniques creating new bridges between logic, knowledge representation and computation. The research contributed to mathematical logic, computer science and philosophy, and changed the perspective on applications of logic.

This conference aims to sum up the experience of the first 30 years of nonmonotonic logics and map paths into the future. It will interleave longer invited talks covering all major research trends of the past 30 years with shorter technical presentations providing an account of the current research. Invited presentations will be published in an edited book by the College Publications. A special issue of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research will provide a venue for technical presentations.

For more information, see http://sites.google.com/site/nonmonat30/

We invite papers in all areas of nonmonotonic reasoning, and especially encourage submissions underlying the role of nonmonotonic reasoning in artificial intelligence and knowledge representation. Paper submission deadline: July 11 (Monday)

Date: 21-23 October 2010
Location: Doelenzaal, Singel 425, Amsterdam
Deadline: 15 June 2010

This is the second of a biennially organized conference that brings together scholars and historians of humanities disciplines to draw the outlines for a comparative history of the humanities. Although there exist histories of single humanities disciplines, a comparative history would satisfy a long-felt need, and fill a conspicuous gap in intellectual history.

The first highly successful conference, held in 2008, discussed the early modern period. The theme of this year's meeting is From Early Modern to Modern Disciplines, focusing on the period 1600-1900. Topics include all aspects of the history of philology, linguistics, rhetoric, musicology, literary theory, historiography, art history, archeology and other humanities disciplines, with an emphasis on their interrelations.

Registration deadline: 30 september. For more information, see the conference website at https://www.illc.uva.nl/MakingHumanities/2010/.

The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Please send an abstract of maximally 400 words to: . Deadline for abstract submissions: 15 June 2010

Location: Doelenzaal, Singel 425, Amsterdam
Deadline: 20 June 2010

The workshop will bring together logicians, philosophers, psychologists and cognitive scientists to discuss the interface between cognitive science and psychology, on the one hand, and the philosophy of logic on the other hand. More specifically, we wish to investigate the extent to which (if at all), and in what ways, experimental results from these fields may contribute to the formulation of an empirically-informed philosophy of logic, taking into account how human agents, logicians and non-logicians alike, in fact reason.

For more information, see https://www.illc.uva.nl/peipl/

We invite submissions of two-page abstracts (roughly 1000 words) from young researchers and graduate students as well as senior researchers, working in philosophy, psychology, cognitive science and logic. We aim at having a multi-disciplinary line-up of contributed papers. PDF is the preferred format. Submission deadline: June 20th 2010. See 'Call for Papers' at the workshop's website for more details.

21-23 June 2010, "From Practice to Results in Logic and Mathematics", Nancy, France

Date: 21-23 June 2010
Location: Nancy, France
Deadline: 15 January 2010

This conference is part of a series of conferences organised by the PratiScienS research group at the Archives Henri Poincaré, Nancy University, France. It is aimed at discussing and exploring the practice of mathematics and logic from an epistemological standpoint. That is, we look for papers on how the concrete practices of mathematicians and logicians may influence the results of their enquiries and, more broadly, the notion of what counts as proof. Through this conference, the PratiScienS group also aims at promoting a methodological reflection on the difficulties that a critical analysis of such practices in logic and mathematics implies and on issues related to the development of the appropriate exploratory conceptual tools.

Date: 22-25 June 2010
Location: Aarhus, Denmark

Solution concepts for extensive form games is a classical topic of game theory. In recent years, the topic has also been attracting attention from various subcommunities of the theoretical computer science community. This workshop brings together researchers from game theory, economics, cryptography, algorithms and formal methods.

Topics to be discussed include
* Game theoretic analysis and solution concepts for cryptographic protocols,
* Computational properties of solution concepts (e.g., algorithms and computational hardness of equilibrium refinements),
* Bounded and computational rationality in extensive games,
* Solution concepts for extensive form games from the perspective of epistemic game theory,
* Solution concepts for infinite duration games (stochastic games, recursive games, reachability games etc.).

The workshop will be open to a limited number of participants. There will be no registration fee. If you wish to participate please send an email to with subject header [SCEG] by May 15th.

Detailed information about the workshop will be added later at the workshop webpage: http://www.cs.au.dk/cagt/sol.html A detailed program can be expected around June 1st.

Date: 21-23 June 2010
Location: Nancy, France
Deadline: 15 January 2010

This conference is part of a series of conferences organised by the PratiScienS research group at the Archives Henri Poincaré, Nancy University, France. It is aimed at discussing and exploring the practice of mathematics and logic from an epistemological standpoint. That is, we look for papers on how the concrete practices of mathematicians and logicians may influence the results of their enquiries and, more broadly, the notion of what counts as proof. Through this conference, the PratiScienS group also aims at promoting a methodological reflection on the difficulties that a critical analysis of such practices in logic and mathematics implies and on issues related to the development of the appropriate exploratory conceptual tools.

22-25 June 2010, Workshop on Solution Concepts for Extensive Games, Aarhus, Denmark

Date: 22-25 June 2010
Location: Aarhus, Denmark

Solution concepts for extensive form games is a classical topic of game theory.

This workshop brings together researchers from game theory, economics, cryptography, algorithms and formal methods.

Topics to be discussed include
* Game theoretic analysis and solution concepts for cryptographic protocols,
* Computational properties of solution concepts (e.g., algorithms and computational hardness of equilibrium refinements),
* Bounded and computational rationality in extensive games,
* Solution concepts for extensive form games from the perspective of epistemic game theory,
* Solution concepts for infinite duration games (stochastic games, recursive games, reachability games etc.).

The workshop will be open to a limited number of participants. There will be no registration fee. If you wish to participate please send an email to with subject header [SCEG] by May 15th.

Detailed information about the workshop will be added later at the workshop webpage: http://www.cs.au.dk/cagt/sol.html A detailed program can be expected around June 1st.

28 June - 23 July 2010, Asian Initiative for Infinity (AII) Graduate Summer School in Logic, Singapore

Date: 28 June - 23 July 2010

The Graduate Summer School bridges the gap between a general graduate education in mathematical logic and the specific preparation necessary to do research on problems of current interest in the subject. In general, students who attend the AII Summer School should have completed their first year, and in some cases, may already be working on a thesis. While a majority of the participants will be graduate students, some postdoctoral scholars and researchers may also be interested in attending. Having completed at least one course in Mathematical Logic is required, and completion of an additional graduate course in either set theory or recursion theory is strongly recommended. Students should be familiar with the Gödel Completeness and Incompleteness Theorems and with the Gö del and Cohen Independence Theorems in Set Theory.

The main activity of the AII Graduate Summer School will be a set of three intensive short courses offered by leaders in the field, designed to introduce students to exciting, current research topics. These lectures will not duplicate standard courses available elsewhere. Each course will consist of lectures with problem sessions. On average, the participants of the AII Graduate Summer School meet twice each day for lectures and then again for a problem session.

Applications are invited from interested students. Each student selected for participation will be provided with a stipend of at least US$2000. Additional funding will be available to cover accommodation. Applications will be considered from 7 April 2010 and decisions made on a rolling basis, for as along as funds remain available.

CfP Special Issue on "Formal Models of Norm Change", Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logic (JANCL)

Date: (extended deadline: 30 June)
Deadline: 30 June 2010

Formal models of norm change have been drawing attention since the seminal work of Alchourrón and Bulygin on normative systems, and that of Alchourrón, Gärdenfors and Makinson on the logic of theory change. Research trends in Artificial Intelligence have recently revived this attention emphasizing the importance of a formal analysis of the type(s) of dynamics involved in systems of norms, and norm change has become the topic of a dedicated international workshop.

This special issue aims at providing an up to date account of the formal analysis of norm change, an area at the interface of logic, philosophy, computer science and legal theory.

Deadline for submissions (extended): 30 June 2010. For more information, see the CfP at http://staff.science.uva.nl/~grossi/SpecialIssue/NormChangeJANCL.

30 June - 5 July 2010, Computability in Europe (CiE 2010), Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal

Date: 30 June - 5 July 2010
Location: Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal
Deadline: 20 January 2010

Computability in Europe provides the largest international conference dealing with the full spectrum of computability-related research. CiE serves as an interdisciplinary forum for research in all aspects of computability and foundations of computer science, as well as the interplay of these theoretical areas with practical issues in computer science and with other disciplines such as biology, mathematics, philosophy, or physics.

CiE 2010 in the Azores is the sixth conference of the Series, held in a geographically unique and dramatic location, Europe's most Westerly outpost. The theme of CiE 2010 - "Programs, Proofs, Processes" - points to the usual CiE synergy of Computer Science, Mathematics and Logic, with important computability-theoretic connections to science and the real universe. The conference will address not only the more established lines of research of Computational Complexity and the interplay between Proofs and Computation, but also novel views that rely on physical and biological processes and models to find new ways of tackling computations and improving their efficiency.

30 June-5 July 2010, Computability in Europe 2010 (CiE 2010): Programs, Proofs, Processes, Ponta Delgada (Azores, Portugal)

Date: 30 June-5 July 2010
Location: Ponta Delgada (Azores, Portugal)
Deadline: 7 January 2010

CiE 2010 is the sixth in a successful series of conferences organised 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. Previous meetings took place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006), Siena (2007), Athens (2008), and Heidelberg (2009).

Formal systems, attendant proofs, and the possibility of their computer generation and manipulation (for instance, into programs) have been changing a whole spectrum of disciplines. The conference will address not only the more established lines of research of Computational Complexity and the interplay between Proof Theory and Computation, but also novel views that rely on physical and biological processes and models to find new ways of tackling computations and improving their efficiency. Also, information systems like the Web are a recent subject of attention in view of the fact that managing such complex and evolving systems pose particular problems. In all cases we are looking for fundamental and theoretical submissions.

In line with other conferences in this series, CiE2010 has a broad scope and provides a forum for the discussion of theoretical and practical issues in Computation with an emphasis on new paradigms of computation and the development of their mathematical theory.
