13 - 17 September 2021, Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees 2020 (LATD 2020) , Tbilisi, Georgia

Date: 13 - 17 September 2021
Location: Tbilisi, Georgia
Deadline: Monday 1 June 2020

This is one of the main events of the Tbilisi Autumn of Logic, a series of conferences and summer schools taking place in Tbilisi promoting research in pure and applied logic at an international level.

The LATD conference series started as an official meeting of the working group on Mathematical Fuzzy Logic and has evolved into a wider meeting in algebraic logic and related areas. Its main goal is to foster collaboration between researchers in these areas, and to promote communication and cooperation with members of neighbouring fields.

The conference will be preceded by the Sixteenth International Tbilisi Summer School in Logic and Language devoted to courses on core topics of LATD 2020.

We regret to announce that due to the coronavirus pandemic LATD has been postponed to September 2021.

We invite contributions on any relevant aspects of logical systems (including many valued, fuzzy, substructural, modal and quantum logics), in particular:
* Proof theory and computational complexity
* Algebraic semantics and abstract algebraic logic
* First-order, higher-order and modal formalisms
* Geometric and game-theoretic aspects
* Applications and foundational issues

For more information, see https://www.logic.at/latd2020/.

9 - 11 September 2020, Seventeenth International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2020), Virtual

Date: 9 - 11 September 2020
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Monday 1 June 2020

The conference is concerned with the theory of computability and complexity over real-valued data.

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.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemia CCA 2020 cannot take place in Bologna, as originally intended. The entire conference will take place virtually on the Zoom online conference platform.

Authors are invited to submit 1-2 pages abstracts in PDF format, including references.

If full versions of papers are already available as technical report or arXiv version, then corresponding links should be added to the reference list.

For more information, see http://cca-net.de/cca2020/.

12 - 14 September 2020, 18th International Workshop on Nonmonotonic Reasoning (NMR 2020), Virtual

Date: 12 - 14 September 2020
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Friday 12 June 2020

NMR is the premier forum for results in the area of nonmonotonic reasoning. Its aim is to bring together active researchers in this broad field within knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR), including belief revision, uncertain reasoning, reasoning about actions, planning, logic programming, preferences, argumentation, causality, and many other related topics including systems and applications.

As in previous editions, NMR 2020 aims to foster connections between the different subareas of nonmonotonic reasoning and provide a forum for emerging topics. Workshop activities will include invited talks and presentations of technical papers. NMR 2020 is co-located with the International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2020) and the 33rd International Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2020). In particular, NMR 2020 will share a joint session with DL 2020.

Due to the latest developments in Greece with the COVID19 pandemic, the hybrid format (physical and virtual participation) that was planned for NMR 2020 in September is likely to be canceled. The new format, and possibly new dates, for NMR2020 will be announced shortly.

We especially invite papers on systems and applications, as well as position papers and papers addressing benchmark issues. The workshop will be structured by topical sessions fitting to the scopes of accepted papers. Papers should be at most 10 pages in AAAI style including references, figures, and appendices, if any.Papers already published or accepted for publication at other conferences are also welcome, provided that the original publication is mentioned in a footnote on the first page.

29 June 2020, 9th International Workshop on Theorem Prover Components for Educational Software (ThEdu'20) , Proceedings only

Date: Monday 29 June 2020
Location: Proceedings only
Deadline: Sunday 12 April 2020

Computer Theorem Proving is becoming a paradigm as well as a technological base for a new generation of educational software in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The workshop was to bring together experts in automated deduction with experts in education in order to further clarify the shape of the new software generation and to discuss existing systems.

The ThEdu'20 workshop was associated to IJCAR, which due to the COVID-19 crisis is now held as a Virtual Conference. It is our feeling that a virtual meeting might not allow us to fully reproduce the usual face-to-face networking opportunities of our event. So, unfortunately, the ThEdu'20 had better be cancelled.

The interest expressed for the workshop was such, that the PC decided to publish proceedings, in spite of cancellation after IJCAR become virtual. Thanks to a decision of the EPTCS editorial board adapting to the specific situation, the proceedings already received the approval to be published by EPTCS.

We welcome submission of full papers presenting original unpublished work which is not been submitted for publication elsewhere. All contributions will be reviewed (blind review) by three members of the PC for each submission, to meet the high standards of EPTCS.

Topics of interest include: methods of automated deduction applied to checking students' input;  methods of automated deduction applied to prove post-conditions for particular problem solutions; combinations of deduction and computation enabling systems to propose next steps; automated provers specific for dynamic geometry systems; proof and proving in mathematics education.

27 - 31 July 2020, Workshop on Natural Formal Mathematics

Date: 27 - 31 July 2020
Location: Online
Deadline: Monday 15 June 2020

In (pure) mathematics there has always existed a strong informal sense of "naturality". "Natural" theories, notions, properties, or proofs are prefered over technical, convoluted, or counterintuitive approaches. If formal mathematics is to become part of mainstream mathematics, its formalizations and user experience have to become more "natural". This workshop broadly addresses the issue of naturality in formal mathematics.

This workshop is part of the 13th Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics (CICM 2020).

We call for submissions of extended abstracts and demonstration proposals presenting work related to the workshop's theme. To promote Natural Formal Mathematics unfinished or exploratory work will also be welcome. Details can be found on the webpage.

15 - 19 June 2020, Caleidoscope: Research School in Computational Complexity, cancelled

Date: 15 - 19 June 2020
Location: Paris, France

Computational complexity theory was born more than 50 years ago when researchers started asking themselves what could be computed efficiently. Classifying problems/functions with respect to the amount of resources (e.g. time and/or space) needed to solve/compute them turned out to be an extremely difficult question. This has led researchers to develop a remarkable variety of approaches, employing different mathematical methods and theories.

The future development of complexity theory will require a subtle understanding of the similarities, differences and limitations of the many current approaches. The goal (and peculiarity) of the Caleidoscope school is to reunite in a single event as many different takes on computational complexity as can reasonably be fit in one week. The school is aimed at graduate students and researchers who already work in some aspects of computational complexity and/or who would like to learn about the various approaches.

We are sorry to announce that, due to the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic, the 2020 edition of the Caleidoscope school is CANCELLED.  We hope we will be able to propose these great lectures in the summer of 2021.

15 - 18 June 2020, XXIII Summer School in Philosophy of Physics: Philosophy of Quantum Computation, Online

Date: 15 - 18 June 2020
Location: Online
Deadline: Sunday 5 April 2020

We invite participation in the XXIII International Summer School in Philosophy of Physics to be held in Urbino 15th-18th June 2020.

The future development of complexity theory will require a subtle understanding of the similarities, differences and limitations of the many current approaches. The goal (and peculiarity) of the Caleidoscope school is to reunite in a single event as many different takes on computational complexity as can reasonably be fit in one week. The school is aimed at graduate students and researchers who already work in some aspects of computational complexity and/or who would like to learn about the various approaches.

We are sorry to announce that, due to the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic, the 2020 edition of the Caleidoscope school is CANCELLED.  We hope we will be able to propose these great lectures in the summer of 2021.

20 - 21 June 2020, Hamburg Set Theory Workshop 2020 (HSTW 2020): Descriptive Set Theory, Forcing and the Reals, Virtual

Date: 20 - 21 June 2020
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Thursday 30 April 2020

Descriptive set theory discusses the relationship between logical complexity and good behaviour of sets, so-called regularity properties (e.g. Lebesgue measurability, perfect set property, etc.). It is well known that these properties are closely connected to forcing (and in some cases, large cardinals). Modern developments in set theory such as forcing, large cardinals and determinacy give powerful techniques to tackle problems in descriptive set theory. In recent years, set theorists have generalised classical results of descriptive set theory to generalised reals.

Speakers: 1. Vera Fischer (Vienna) 2. Yurii Khomskii (Hamburg & Amsterdam) 3. Dominique Lecomte (Paris) 4. Heike Mildenberger (Freiburg) 5. Dorottya Sziraki (Budapest) 6. Wolfgang Wohofsky (Vienna) 7. Jindrich Zapletal (Gainesville FL) 8. Zoltan Vydnyanszky (Vienna)

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the HSTW 2020 will be held online as a Zoom webinar with several zoom meetings as substitute for social events, like cofeebreaks/lunch. Further information about the conference format can be found on the conference homepage.

29 August 2020, 8th Workshop "What can FCA do for AI?" (FCA4AI 2020), Online via Zoom

Date: Saturday 29 August 2020
Location: Online via Zoom
Deadline: Monday 29 June 2020

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications and association rules) which can be used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing, knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology engineering as well as information retrieval, recommendation, social network analysis and text processing. Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending the possibilities of plain FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing. While the capabilities of FCA are extended, new possibilities are arising in the framework of FCA.

The 8th FCA4AI workshop, co-located with ECAI 2020, is (as usual) dedicated to discuss such issues, and in particular:
- How can FCA support AI activities in knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, machine learning, natural language processing...
- By contrast, how the current developments in AI can be integrated within FCA to help AI researchers to solve complex problems in their domain.

The workshop welcomes submissions in pdf format in Springer's LNCS style. Submissions can be technical papers not exceeding 12 pages, or system descriptions or position papers on work in progress not exceeding 6 pages. Submissions are via EasyChair.

For more information, see http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru/2020.

CfP special issue of EJPS on "Dimensions of Applied Maths"

Deadline: Tuesday 30 June 2020

Davide Rizza and Matt Parker are editing one of the forthcoming EJPS (European Journal of Philosophy of Science) topical collections, on "Dimensions of Applied Mathematics".

Philosophical interest in the application of mathematics has usually been connected to indispensability arguments or Wigner’s famous puzzle of ‘unreasonable effectiveness’. In both cases the success of mathematical applications has been taken as a  starting point for philosophical reflection and, as a result, little attention has been paid to the practice of applying mathematics in the course of scientific enquiry. This special issue is devoted to exploring the latter, relatively neglected topic. We encourage submissions, especially from non-mainstream areas of philosophy of science and/or from under-represented groups, discussing any of the dimensions (historical, foundational and practical) of applied mathematics.

Note: Deadline has been extended to 30 June.

30 June 2020, 4th Women in Logic Workshop (WiL 2020), Online

Date: Tuesday 30 June 2020
Location: Online
Deadline: Sunday 10 May 2020

The Women in Logic workshop (WiL) provides an opportunity to increase awareness of the valuable contributions made by women in the area of logic in computer science. Its main purpose is to promote the excellent research done by women, with the ultimate goal of increasing their visibility and representation in the community. Women in Logic 2020 is part of "Paris Nord Summer of LoVe 2020", a joint event on LOgic and VErification at Universit́e Paris 13, made of Petri Nets 2020, IJCAR 2020, FSCD 2020, and over 20 satellite events.

Our aim is to:
- provide a platform for female researchers to share their work and achievements;
- increase the feelings of community and belonging, especially among junior faculty, post-docs and students through positive interactions with peers and more established faculty;
- establish new connections and collaborations;
- foster a welcoming culture of mutual support and growth within the logic research community.
We believe these aspects will benefit women working in logic and computer science, particularly early-career researchers.

Thanks to the generous support of SIGLOG, the Vienna Center for Logic and Algorithms (VCLA) and the Institute of Logic, Language and Computation of the University of Amsterdam (ILLC), applications for awards are invited to facilitate students and postdocs, who are authors of accepted papers to register and travel to the WiL 2020. Deadline: May 15, 2020. The awardees of the SIGLOG/VCLA/ILLC Travel Award will be reimbursed for a portion of their travel expenses, and registration costs. There will be at most one award per paper.
