15-26 August 2016, 28th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI-2016), Bolzano, Italy
The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI) is an annual event under the auspices of the Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI) and brings together logicians, linguists, computer scientists, and philosophers to study language, logic, and information, and their interconnections. ESSLLIs attract around 500 participants from all over the world.
There will be 45 courses at foundational, introductory, and advanced levels, as well as 3 workshops, invited lectures and a student session to foster interdisciplinary discussion of current research. Moreover, the school features 3 satellite events: the COMPOSES workshop, the 21st Conference on Formal Grammar (FG 2016), and the Computational Creativity, Concept Invention, and General Intelligence (C3GI) Workshop.
Deadline for registration: 31 July 2016 (early registration: 31 May 2016). For more information, see http://esslli2016.unibz.it/.
Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI 2016 are invited in all areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computing Sciences. Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged. Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two-week courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week courses. Proposal submission deadline: 1 June 2015.
2-3 July 2015, 2015 Annual Conference of the Australasian Association of Logic (AAL), Sydney, Australia
The 2015 annual conference of the Australasian Association of Logic (AAL) will be held in Sydney, Australia, on Thursday 2nd July and Friday 3rd July 2015. The venue is the Muniment Room, Main Quadrangle, University of Sydney.
The AAL was founded in 1965 and this conference marks its fiftieth anniversary.
For more information, see http://aal.ltumathstats.com/
Papers in any area of philosophical, mathematical or computational logic are welcome. Abstracts of papers should be submitted by email to nicholas.smith at sydney.edu.au.
24-26 September 2015, 7th conference on Non-Classical Logic: Theory and Applications, Torun, Poland
This is the seventh conference on this topic. The first, second, fourth and sixth editions of Conference were organized by Departament of Logic and Methodology at Lodz University. The third and fifth edition was organized by Department of Logic at NCU in Torun. The thematic range of the conference remains the same: theories of nonclassical logics (modal, many-valued, temporal, paraconsistent, epistemic, deontic, substructural, and nonmonotonic logic) and their applications in computer science, artificial intelligence, formal linguistics, cognitive studies, as well as to the deeper analysis of traditional philosophical problems.
For more information, see the conference webpage at http://www.logika.umk.pl/lnk15/lnk15_en.html
The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Submission deadline is TBA.
2-6 November 2015, The Ninth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT 2015), Larnaca, Cyprus
Context '15 will provide a forum for presenting and discussing high-quality research and applications on context modeling and use. The conference will include paper and poster presentations, system demonstrations, workshops, and a doctoral consortium.
The main theme of CONTEXT 2015 is 'Back to the roots', focusing on the importance of interdisciplinary cooperations and studies of the phenomenon. Context, context modeling and context comprehension are central topics in linguistics, philosophy, sociology, artificial intelligence, computer science, art, law, organizational sciences, cognitive science, psychology, etc. and are also essential for the effectiveness of modern, complex and distributed software systems.
For more information, see http://cyprusconferences.org/context2015/
CONTEXT 2015 invites high-quality contributions from researchers and practitioners in foundational studies, applications and evaluations of modeling and use of context in all relevant fields. Submissions may be either full papers of up to 14 pages (in Springer LNCS format) or poster abstracts of 4-6 pages. Submission deadline: June 1, 2015.
CONTEXT 2015 workshops will provide a platform for presenting novel and emerging ideas in the use and the modelling of context in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself. Researchers and practitioners from all relevant fields are invited to submit proposals for review. Workshops that foster collaboration, discussion, group problem-solving and community-building initiatives are particularly encouraged. The length of a workshop may be one half or a whole day, and in exceptional cases, up to two days. Deadline for submission of proposals: March 20, 2015.
23 February - 12 June 2015, M.Sc. distance learning course on "Modal Logics and Description Logics", Manchester, U.K.
For many applications, specific domain knowledge is required. Instead of coding such knowledge into a specific system in a way that it can never be changed (hidden in the overall implementation), different logic-based formalisms for representing different kinds of knowledge have been developed in the last 50 years. In this module, we discuss some of these approaches, namely modal logics and description logics.
Description logics are mainly designed to represent and reason about the terminology of an application domain and form the logical underpinning of the Semantic Web ontology language OWL. Modal logics can be used to represent and reason about the behaviour of systems, for example agent based systems. For both logics, automated reasoning tools have been developed to answer queries about the knowledge representation explicitly. This module provides an introduction to various modal and description logics, how to formalise knowledge and questions about this knowledge in these logics, different approaches to automated reasoning for these logics, and the relationship between these logics and first-order logic.
The module is entirely web-based, so a reliable internet connection is essential. Required Time per Week: 8-10 hours. A detailed module outline, learning outcomes, assessment information is available from the module website at http://www.cs.manchester.ac.uk/study/professional-development/study-options/. Registration deadline: 20 February 2015.

1-5 June 2015, 2nd Workshop on Vaught's Conjecture, Berkeley CA, U.S.A.
A workshop on the mathematics surrounding Vaught's Conjecture (on the number of isomorphism types of countable models of a countable complete theory elementary first order theory) will be held at the University of California at Berkeley from June 1 to June 6, 2015. The first workshop on Vaught's Conjecture was held at the University of Notre Dame, in May of 2005. This workshop resulted in a number of new ideas and collaborations, some of which were published in a special issue of the Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic. We hope that this second workshop will build on the success of the first.
There will be tutorials by Uri Andrews, Su Gao, and Chris Laskowski; the invited speakers currently include: Nate Ackerman, John Baldwin, Howard Becker, Samuel Coskey, Cameron Freer, Sy Friedman, Robin Knight, Paul Larson, David Marker, Ludomir Newelski, Richard Rast, Gerald Sacks, Slawomir Solecki and Ioannis Souldatos

23 February - 12 June 2015, M.Sc. distance learning course on "Modal Logics and Description Logics", Manchester, U.K.
For many applications, specific domain knowledge is required. Instead of coding such knowledge into a specific system in a way that it can never be changed (hidden in the overall implementation), different logic-based formalisms for representing different kinds of knowledge have been developed in the last 50 years. In this module, we discuss some of these approaches, namely modal logics and description logics.
Description logics are mainly designed to represent and reason about the terminology of an application domain and form the logical underpinning of the Semantic Web ontology language OWL. Modal logics can be used to represent and reason about the behaviour of systems, for example agent based systems. For both logics, automated reasoning tools have been developed to answer queries about the knowledge representation explicitly. This module provides an introduction to various modal and description logics, how to formalise knowledge and questions about this knowledge in these logics, different approaches to automated reasoning for these logics, and the relationship between these logics and first-order logic.
The module is entirely web-based, so a reliable internet connection is essential. Required Time per Week: 8-10 hours. A detailed module outline, learning outcomes, assessment information is available from the module website at http://www.cs.manchester.ac.uk/study/professional-development/study-options/. Registration deadline: 20 February 2015.

8-10 June 2015, 5th Workshop on Formal Topology: Spreads and Choice Sequences, Djursholm, Sweden
The study of the logical foundations of topology is playing an important role in mathematical logic and foundations of especially constructive mathematics. Early works by Brouwer on the theory of spreads and choice sequences were influencing much work in the area. A modernized form of his ideas is embodied in constructive point-free topology or formal topology. The workshop will gather experts in this field and related areas, including computable aspects and non-classical aspects of topology. A subtheme will be modern developments in the theory of spreads and choice sequences, as well as its history.
This is the fifth of a series of successful meetings on the development of Formal Topology and its connections with related approaches. The workshop is part of the Institut Mittag-Leffler short conferences program 2015. The number of participants is limited to 30 due to reasons of space.

8-19 June 2015, Second EPICENTER Spring Course in Epistemic Game Theory, Maastricht University, The Netherlands
Epistemic game theory is a modern and blooming approach to game theory where the reasoning of people is at center stage. More precisely, it investigates the beliefs that people form – about the opponents' choices, but also about the opponents' beliefs – before they make a decision. This course offers a deep introduction into the beautiful world of epistemic game theory, and is open to advanced bachelor students, master students, PhD students and researchers all over the world.

9-12 June 2015, 1st European Conference on Argumentation (ECA 2015), Lisbon, Portugal
The European Conference on Argumentation (ECA) is a new pan-European initiative aiming to consolidate and advance various streaks of research into argumentation and reasoning: from philosophical, linguistic, discourse analytic, cognitive, to computational approaches. The chief goal of the initiative is to organize on a regular basis a major conference on argumentation. The first of these conferences will be hosted in Lisbon by the ArgLab, Institute of Philosophy (IFILNOVA), Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
The primary idea behind this first edition of the conference is that argumentation and reasoning are the main vehicles for our decisions and actions. They accompany, indeed constitute, a variety of significant social practices: from individual practical reasoning, small group decisions, deliberations of official bodies in various institutional contexts, to large-scale political and social deliberations. Argumentation is understood here as a mode of action - and not just any action, but a reasoned action, comprised of consideration of reasons (whether they are good or bad). Traditionally, argumentation has been assigned many distinct functions: epistemic, moral, conversational, etc. The aim of the conference is to explore how these functions are interrelated with the practical need for deciding on a course of action. Simply put, our chief concern is with the role argumentation and reasoning play when the question of 'what to do?' is addressed.

11-13 June 2015, Prague Seminar on Non-Classical Mathematics, Prague, Czech Republic
The 20th century has witnessed several attempts to build (parts of) mathematics on grounds other than those provided by classical logic. The goal of this seminar, along with presenting recent advances in particular areas (see the list of topics below), is to provide an opportunity for round-table discussions about the common aspects of various `non-classical' approaches, including similarities between results, proof methods, and methodological questions about the role of classical logic/mathematics in our work.

8-19 June 2015, Second EPICENTER Spring Course in Epistemic Game Theory, Maastricht University, The Netherlands
Epistemic game theory is a modern and blooming approach to game theory where the reasoning of people is at center stage. More precisely, it investigates the beliefs that people form – about the opponents' choices, but also about the opponents' beliefs – before they make a decision. This course offers a deep introduction into the beautiful world of epistemic game theory, and is open to advanced bachelor students, master students, PhD students and researchers all over the world.

21-23 September 2015, SoTFoM III and the Hyperuniverse Programme, Vienna, Austria
The Hyperuniverse Programme, launched in 2012, and currently pursued within a Templeton-funded research project at the Kurt Gödel Research Center in Vienna, aims to identify and philosophically motivate the adoption of new set-theoretic axioms.
The programme intersects several topics in the philosophy of set theory and of mathematics, such as the nature of mathematical (set-theoretic) truth, the universe/multiverse dichotomy, the alternative conceptions of the set-theoretic multiverse, the conceptual and epistemological status of new axioms and their alternative justificatory frameworks.
The aim of SotFoM III+The Hyperuniverse Programme Joint Conference is to bring together scholars who, over the last years, have contributed mathematically and philosophically to the ongoing work and debate on the foundations and the philosophy of set theory, in particular, to the understanding and the elucidation of the aforementioned topics. The three-day conference, taking place September 21-23 at the KGRC in Vienna, will feature invited and contributed speakers.
For more information, see http://sotfom.wordpress.com/ or contact sotfom at gmail.com.
We invite (especially young) scholars to send their papers/abstracts, addressing one of the topical strands. Submission deadline: 15 June 2015.

26-30 October 2015, 18th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA 2015), Bertinoro, Italy
Agent-based Computing addresses the challenges in managing distributed computing systems and networks through monitoring, communication, consensus-based decision-making and coordinated actuation. As a result, intelligent agents and multi-agent systems have demonstrated the capability to use intelligence, knowledge representation and reasoning, and other social metaphors like 'trust', 'game' and 'institution', not only to address real-world problems in a human-like way but also to transcend human performance. This has had a transformative impact in many application domains, particularly in e-commerce, and also in planning, logistics, manufacturing, robotics, decision support, transportation, entertainment, emergency relief & disaster management, and data mining & analytics.
For more information, see http://prima2015.apice.unibo.it/
PRIMA 2015 invites submissions of original, unpublished, theoretical and applied work on any such topic, and encourages reports on the development of prototype and deployed agent systems, and of experiments that demonstrate novel agent system capabilities. There will be a special track on applications of multi-agent systems. The papers for this track would report experiences on using agents in an application domain and also discuss the challenges in deploying them. Two types of contributions are solicited: full papers (presenting original theoretical and/or experimental research) and short papers (showcasing works-in-progress). Deadline for abstracts: 17th June 2015.

Language to Information Systems (NLDB'15), Passau, Germany
Since 1995, the NLDB conference aims at bringing together researchers, industrials and potential users interested in various applications of Natural Language in the Database and Information Systems field. The integration of databases and natural language has been an utopia for many years. However, progress has been made and this is now an established field thanks to developments in Natural Language and technologies that made the storage and manipulation of large linguistic resources and datasets possible. The use of Natural Language in Software Engineering has contributed to both improving the development process from the viewpoints of developers (improve the process of conceptual modeling, validation, etc) and the usability of applications by users (natural language query interfaces, etc). NLDB'15 will take place in Passau, Germany.

15-26 June 2015, Topology, Algebra and Categories in Logic (TACL 2015), Salerno / Ischia Island (Italy)
Studying logics via semantics is a well-established and very active branch of mathematical logic, with many applications, in computer science and elsewhere. The area is characterised by results, tools and techniques stemming from various fields, including universal algebra, topology, category theory, order, and model theory. The programme of the conference TACL 2015 will focus on three interconnecting mathematical themes central to the semantic study of logics and their applications: algebraic, categorical, and topological methods. This is the seventh conference in the series Topology, Algebra, and Categories in Logic (TACL).
Starting from 2013, the conference TACL -Topology, Algebra, and Categories in Logic- is preceded by a one-week school. In 2015 the school will be held at the campus of the University of Salerno and will include four tutorials, each consisting of 1.5 hour lectures for five days.

25-27 June 2015, Workshop on the Morphological, Syntactic and Semantic Aspects of Dispositions, Stuttgart, Germany
The goal of this workshop is to explore questions about the morpho-syntax, semantics and underlying ontology of words and constructions used to describe dispositions. The central aim of the workshop is to develop a better understanding of how existing and novel insights from different approaches to dispositions can be integrated into a single theory of dispositions and their linguistic descriptions.

25-30 June 2015, Workshop "The idea of logic: Historical Perspectives", Istanbul, Turkey
Logic as a discipline is not characterized by a stable scope throughout its history. True enough, the historical influence of Aristotelian logic over the centuries is something of a common denominator in Western philosophy. But Aristotelian logic certainly was not alone (see stoic logic for instance), not to mention non-western logics. Even within the Aristotelian tradition there is significant variability. Furthermore, as is well known, in the 19th century logic as a discipline underwent a radical modification, with the development of mathematical logic. This workshop, held at the 5th World Congress on Universal Logic in Istanbul, will focus on both the diversity and the unity of logic through time.

27 June 2015, Workshop on Philosophy of non-classical logics "Toward problems of paraconsistency and paracompleteness", Istanbul, Turkey
There is an ongoing philosophical and logical debate about motivations in accepting or rejecting the principle (law) of (non-)contradiction and the principle (law) of excluded middle. A logic rejecting the principle of non-contradiction is called *paraconsistent* and a logic rejecting the principle of excluded middle is called *paracomplete*. But what does it really mean to reject a classical principle (law)? And what are the philosophical consequences for this refusal? In which sense would it still be possible to defend nowadays that there is just one true logic?
This workshop, held at the 5th World Congress on Universal Logic in Istanbul, shall represent a privileged platform to evaluate proposals for a more integrated and general approach to philosophical motivations and consequences in the emergence of non-classical logics. Keynote speaker: Graham Priest (CUNY).

17 or 18 September 2015, EMNLP Workshop on Linking Models of Lexical, Sentential and Discourse-level Semantics (LSDSem 2015), Lisbon
Improved computational models of semantics hold great promise for applications in language technology, be it semantics at the lexical level, sentence level or discourse level. Large-scale corpora with corresponding annotations (word senses, propositions, attributions and discourse relations) are making it possible to develop statistical models for many tasks and applications. However, developments in lexical and sentence-level semantics remain largely distinct from those in discourse semantics. This workshop aims at bridging this gap by bringing together researchers to discuss how multiple levels of semantics can be integrated and implemented in various applications.
Our goal is to gather and showcase theoretical and computational approaches to joint models of semantics, and applications that incorporate multi-level semantics. We hope to bring together researchers from various areas: computational linguistics who strive for more expressive models of language understanding, linguists and cognitive scientists interested in aspects of representing text with multiple levels of semantics, machine learning researchers interested in joint inference over different types of semantic cues, and also researchers who are interested in applications that require or will benefit from multi-level semantics. A dialog between researchers has great potential to advance work in each of these areas and bring about more powerful and enriched models of text semantics.
For more information, see http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/mroth/LSDSem/
The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Submission deadline is 28 June 2015.

25-30 June 2015, Workshop "The idea of logic: Historical Perspectives", Istanbul, Turkey
Logic as a discipline is not characterized by a stable scope throughout its history. True enough, the historical influence of Aristotelian logic over the centuries is something of a common denominator in Western philosophy. But Aristotelian logic certainly was not alone (see stoic logic for instance), not to mention non-western logics. Even within the Aristotelian tradition there is significant variability. Furthermore, as is well known, in the 19th century logic as a discipline underwent a radical modification, with the development of mathematical logic. This workshop, held at the 5th World Congress on Universal Logic in Istanbul, will focus on both the diversity and the unity of logic through time.

29 June - 3 July 2015, Computability in Europe 2015 (CiE 2015), Bucharest, Romania
CiE 2015 is the 11-th 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.
Evolution of the universe, and us within it, invite a parallel evolution in understanding. The CiE agenda - fundamental and engaged - targets the extracting and developing of computational models basic to current challenges. From the origins of life, to the understanding of human mentality, to the characterising of quantum randomness - computability theoretic questions arise in many guises. The CiE community, this coming year meeting for the first time in Bucharest, carries forward the search for coherence, depth and new thinking across this rich and vital field of research.

30 June 2015, 4th International Workshop on Computational Creativity, Concept Invention, and General Intelligence, Istanbul, Turkey
Researchers in several communities are trying to understand the basic principles underlying creativity-related abilities (such as concept invention, concept formation, creative problem solving, the production of art, and creativity in all its facets e.g. in engineering, science, mathematics, business processes), working on computational models of their functioning, and also their utilization in different contexts and applications (e.g. applications of computational creativity frameworks with respect to mathematical invention and inventions in engineering, to the creation of poems, drawings, and music, to product design and development, to architecture etc.). In particular, a variety of different methodologies are used in such contexts ranging from logic-based frameworks to probabilistic and neuro-inspired approaches. This workshop shall offer a platform for scientists and professional users within relevant areas, on the one hand presenting actual and ongoing work in research, on the other hand also offering a chance for obtaining feedback and input from applications and use-case studies.
