7 June - 2 July 2010, Computability in Europe 2011 (CiE 2011): Models of Computation in Context, Sofia (Bulgaria)
Computability in Europe provides the largest international conference dealing with the full spectrum of computability-related research. CiE 2011 is the seventh conference in the series and emphasises the connections and context, within the traditional CiE respect for researchers' autonomy and diversity of approach.
CiE in Sofia will bring context, multidisciplinary perspective and computability- theoretic focus to a wide spectrum of disciplines - including computer science, mathematics and logic, physics and quantum theory, biology and informatics, linguistics and philosophy, neuroscience and learning theory. 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. We particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts of the research community.

28 June - 1 July 2011, IEA/AIE 2011 special session on modeling and support of cognitive and affective human processes, Syracuse NY, U.S.A.
To support humans in demanding circumstances it is often required that an intelligent system application has some form of human-awareness. This means that the system has a form of intelligence that enables it to analyze and tune itself to the human's cognitive and affective states and processes, such as attention, level of stress, or exhaustion. To design such intelligent applications in the first place the system needs knowledge of the relevant human processes, and possesses methods to use this knowledge to become human-aware: to estimate and analyze the human's states and processes. Furthermore, based on such human-awareness the system is able to tune its actions and interactions with the human.
In this track we are looking for research papers that explore building blocks or full applications for such intelligent systems. All kinds of aspects of cognitive and affective human processes in all areas of life and/or work may be relevant. For example, the papers can address the analysis and modeling of such human processes, or models, architecture, or interfaces to support human cognitive and/or affective processes. Hereby, the (intended) application system does not necessarily need to incorporate an explicit model of human processes, but can also be based on heuristics developed by using formalized models of human functioning.

29 June - 1 July 2011, Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics (LACL 2011), Montpellier, France
LACL'2011 is the 6th edition of a series of international conferences on logical and formal methods in computational linguistics. It addresses in particular the use of type theoretic, proof theoretic and model theoretic methods for describing natural language syntax and semantics, as well as the implementation of natural language processing software relying on such models. It will be held at the LIRMM, Montpellier, France. It will be co-located with TALN, the conference of the French association for NLP (ATALA).

3 July 2011, Developments in Computational Models (DCM 2011), Zürich (Switzerland)
DCM 2011 is the seventh in a series of international workshops focusing on new computational models. It aims to bring together researchers who are currently developing new computational models or new features of a traditional one. The goal of DCM is to foster interaction, to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work in progress, and to enable newcomers to learn about current activities in this area. DCM 2011 will be a one-day satellite event of ICALP 2011 in Zurich, Switzerland.

3-8 July 2011, Third European Set Theory Conference, Edinburgh, Scotland
Set Theory as was quickly recognized by David Hilbert more than 100 years ago, plays a fundamental foundational role in the intellectual underpinning of pure mathematics. Cantor's work on cardinality and wellorderings was seen to establish several basic areas of research whose threads we discern today and indeed will be emphasized in this conference: on the arithmetic of cardinal numbers themselves, and on the `descriptive set theory' that seeks to analyse the logical complexity of sets definable within mathematical language. Cantor's work derived from his study of trigonometric series, and modern set theory goes back to classical analysis as well as to modern Banach space theory, abstract algebra, ergodic theory, and dynamical systems to find fruitful applications.

4-6 July 2011, First International Meeting of the International Association for Computing and Philosophy (IACAP 2011), Aarhus, Denmark
The conference theme is "The Computational Turn: Past, Presents, Futures?" In part, the phrase "the computational turn" refers to the multiple ways in which the increasing availability and usability of computers allowed philosophers to explore a range of traditional philosophical interests in new ways, often shedding significant new light on traditional issues and arguments. Simultaneously, computer scientists, mathematicians, and others whose work focused on computation and computational devices often found their work to evoke (if not force) reflection and debate precisely on the philosophical assumptions and potential implications of their research. These two large streams of development inspired what became the first of the Computing and Philosophy (CAP) conferences in 1986 (devoted to Computer-Assisted Instruction in philosophy). Since 1986, CAP conferences have grown in scope and range, to include a bewildering array of intersections between computation and philosophy as explored across a global range of cultures and traditions.

24 October 2011, Joint Workshop on Knowledge Evolution and Ontology Dynamics (EvoDyn 2011), Bonn, Germany
EvoDyn builds on the success of the previous editions of the Ontology Dynamics workshop formerly known as IWOD (organised as a part of the ESWC'07, ISWC'08, ISWC'09 and ISWC'10 conferences). EvoDyn continues in the tradition of IWOD in being the core annual event to discuss advances in the broad area of ontology dynamics, and to track recent work directly or indirectly related to the problem of evolving ontologies. This year, however, the scope of the workshop is broadened by a special focus on the knowledge evolution. As ontologies are formal representations of knowledge, the study of their dynamics is an inherent part of investigating the knowledge evolution phenomena, yet it is only one of many relevant aspects this workshop aims to cover in an integral manner.
In particular, the workshop focuses on analysis of trends and change in formal descriptions (i.e., ontologies), but also in associated raw sources of knowledge (scientific publications, unstructured or semi-structured web content, traditional data stores, e-mail or on-line discussion threads, etc.). We are especially interested in research targeted on various states of knowledge evolution, such as (a) conflicts, (b) consolidation, (c) discovery, (d) paradigm shifts, and (e) breakthroughs. One crucial objective of better understanding these different states may be to study directly the underlying causes and dynamics needed to generate discoveries and breakthroughs. We will only be able to facilitate and possibly also generate such desirable situations if we can understand the process of how knowledge evolves. The process of how knowledge in a field grows and changes, crystallizes, and fractures are all areas of interest of this workshop.
Further information and relevant updates can be found at the workshop web page: http://www.ontologydynamics.org/od/index.php/evodyn2011/
The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. We especially encourage submissions that integrally cover multiple relevant topics. Deadline for the submission of papers: August 15, 2011
11-16 July 2011, Logic Colloquium 2011, Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain)

11 July 2011, Reasoning about other minds: Logical and cognitive perspectives, Groningen, the Netherlands
This workshop aims to shed light on models of social reasoning that take into account realistic resource bounds. People reason about other people's mental states in order to understand and predict the others' behavior. This capability to reason about others' knowledge, beliefs and intentions is often referred to as 'theory of mind'. Idealized rational agents are capable of recursion in their social reasoning, and can reason about phenomena like common knowledge. Such idealized social reasoning has been modeled by modal logics such as epistemic logic and BDI (belief, goal, intention) logics and by epistemic game theory. However, in real-world situations, many people seem to lose track of such recursive social reasoning after only a few levels.
The workshop provides a forum for researchers that attempt to analyze, understand and model how resource-bounded agents reason about other minds.

15 July 2011, Workshop "Quantum Physics meets TARK", Groningen, NL
The aim of this workshop is to explore the connections between traditional TARK topics and Quantum Physics. While TARK traditionally focuses on the theoretical aspects of rationality and knowledge, quantum mechanics and quantum computation focus on the fundamental link between physical reality and informational (knowledge-acquiring) actions, such as observations and measurements. We think one can gain new insights from combining methods and concepts coming from these two lines of research. On the one hand, we are interested in how techniques from quantum physics can help us reason about knowledge or rational decision making. On the other hand, we are interested in how the logical and game-theoretical techniques traditionally associated with TARK (coming from epistemic logic, belief revision, dynamic logic, temporal logic, probabilistic learning, resource-sensitive logics, epistemic game theory, decision-theoretic methods etc.) can be used to formalize physical theories, reason about their concepts or their applications, and provide some principled understanding of their foundations.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
classical correlations versus quantum correlations;
classical games versus quantum games;
classical information flow versus quantum information flow;
logical methods for quantum computation;
quantum logic and its relation to logics of knowledge and action;
the use of quantum methods and concepts in decision theory, game theory and logic;
game-theoretical logical semantics and foundations of quantum mechanics.

17-18 July 2011, 9th International Workshop on Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Action and Change (NRAC 2011), Barcelona, Spain
The biennial Workshop on Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Action, and Change (NRAC) is an established workshop with an active and loyal community. Since its inception in 1995, it has always been held in conjunction with IJCAI, each time with growing success.
NRAC is a well-established forum for researchers interested in sharing their experiences in work in the areas of Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Reasoning about Action, and Belief Revision. An intelligent agent exploring a rich, dynamic world, needs cognitive capabilities in addition to basic functionalities for perception and reaction. The abilities to reason nonmonotonically, to reason about actions, and to change one's beliefs, have been identified as fundamental high-level cognitive functions necessary for common sense. Researchers should be aware of advances in all three fields since often advances in one field can be translated into advances in another. Many deep relationships have already been established between the three areas and the primary aim of this workshop is to further promote this cross-fertilization.
For more information, see http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/~ssardina/NRAC2011/

19-26 July 2011, 14th Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science (CLMPS), Nancy, France
Starting from 1960 the International Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science has been held every four years in capital cities and/or by famous university centers. The congress is meant to reflect the current state of the art in Logic and Philosophy of Science and also to draw upon and present new perspectives.
A novelty of the Nancy Congress is that it has adopted a topic of special focus: "Logic and science facing new technologies". This presents the opportunity for casting a strong light on an issue of major importance today, namely: the integration of contemporary technologies in sciences and in society. Questions surrounding this issue are likely to interest the scientific community, as well as a variety of social actors and various partners involved in the congress.

26-30 July 2011, Topology, Algebra and Categories in Logic (TACL 2011), Universités Aix-Marseille I-II-III, France
Studying logics via semantics is a well-established and very active branch of mathematical logic. The area is characterized by results, tools and techniques stemming from various fields, including universal algebra, topology, category theory, order, and model theory. The program of the conference TACL 2011 will focus on three interconnecting mathematical themes central to the semantical study of logics and their applications: algebraic, categorical, and topological methods. This is the fifth conference in the series Topology, Algebra and Categories in Logic (TACL, formerly TANCL).
Registration deadline: Friday 1 July 2011. For more information, see http://www.lif.univ-mrs.fr/tacl2011/.

18-22 June 2012, NASSLLI 2012, Call for Course and Workshop Proposals, Austin TX, U.S.A.
The fifth NASSLLI (after previous editions at Stanford University, Indiana University and UCLA) will be hosted at the University of Texas at Austin, on June 18 - 22, 2012. The summer school, loosely modeled on the long- running ESSLLI series in Europe, will consist of a number of courses and workshops, selected on the basis of the proposals. By default, courses and workshops meet for 90 minutes on each of five days.
For more information, see http://nasslli2012.com/. or contact the co-chairs at carlos.areces at gmail.com and valeria.depaiva at gmail.com.
Proposals are invited that present interdisciplinary work between the areas of logic, linguistics, computer science, cognitive science, philosophy and artificial intelligence, though work in just one area is within the scope of the summer school if it can be applied in other fields. Courses and workshops should aim to be accessible to an interdisciplinary, graduate level audience. In addition to courses and workshops taking place during the main NASSLLI five day session, NASSLLI welcomes proposals for 1-3 day workshops or conferences hosted on campus immediately before or after the summer school, thus on the weekends of June 15-17 and June 23-25 2012. Deadline for submissions: July 31, 2011.
