25 - 29 September 2017, 6th Workshop on Dynamics of Knowledge and Belief (DKB-2017) and 5th Workshop KI & Kognition (KIK-2017), Dortmund, Germany
Knowledge representation offers a rich palette of methods for uncertain reasoning both to describe human reasoning and to model AI approaches. Its many facets like qualitative vs. quantitative reasoning, defeasible and analogical reasoning, argumentation and negotiation in multi-agent systems, causal reasoning for action and planning, as well as nonmonotonicity and belief revision, among many others, have become very active fields of research. Beyond computational aspects, these methods aim to reflect the rich variety of human reasoning in uncertain and dynamic environments.
The aim of this series of workshops is to address recent challenges and to present novel approaches to uncertain reasoning and belief change in their broad senses, and in particular provide a forum for research work linking different paradigms of reasoning.
We welcome papers on any of the workshop topics. We put a special focus on papers from both fields that provide a base for connecting formal-logical models of knowledge representation and cognitive models of reasoning, addressing formal as well as experimental or heuristic issues.
29 June - 1 July 2017, The structure of modal & semantic reasoning, Muenchen, Germany
In the last 50 years, the success of possible worlds semantics for intensional logics has determined a discrepancy between techniques, aims and themes employed in the study of modal notions (broadly conceived as to include propositional attitudes, probability, validity) and in the study of truth. If the former endeavour focuses more on analyzing the logical space given by possible worlds semantics -- leaving aside problems and limitations that full self-reference and quantification may provide -- as a model for understanding modal concepts, the philosophical and logical mainstream in the study of truth is still deeply concerned with paradox and the self-referential aspects of sufficiently expressive languages containing a truth predicate.
The conference aims at bringing together researchers working on the interaction between these two traditions with a particular emphasis on expressive frameworks that treat truth and modalities as interacting predicates.
26 - 27 July 2017, Sixteenth International Workshop on Proof, Computation & Complexity (PCC 2017), Goettingen, Germany
The aim of PCC is to stimulate research in proof theory, computation, and complexity, focusing on issues which combine logical and computational aspects. Topics may include applications of formal inference systems in computer science, as well as new developments in proof theory motivated by computer science demands. PCC 2017 will include an unveiling ceremony of a commemorative plaque for Paul Bernays.
We solicit contributions in the fields of PCC. Specific areas of interest are (non-exhaustively listed) foundations for specification and programming languages, logical methods in specification and program development including program extraction from proofs, type theory, new developments in structural proof theory, and implicit computational complexity.
PCC is intended to be a lively forum for presenting and discussing recent work. Progress on a not yet satisfactorily solved problem may well be worth presenting - in particular if the discussions during the workshop might lead towards a solution.
3 July 2017, 1st International Workshop on Practical Aspects of Answer Set Programming (PAoASP 2017), Espoo, Finland
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a declarative programming paradigm with close relationships to neighboring fields such as ATP, CP, FO(.), SAT, SMT, and others. Since its inception in 2007, the ASP Competition series strives to evaluate and advance the state of the art in ASP solving technology. The International Workshop on Practical Aspects of Answer Set Programming (PAoASP) addresses current developments of systems, tools, and applications in ASP and neighboring fields. To this end, it aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of declarative programming with dedicated focus on, but not limited to, recent methods and trends emerging from the ASP Competition.
The 1st International Workshop on Practical Aspects of Answer Set Programming (PAoASP 2017) is organized in conjunction with the 7th Answer Set Programming Competition (ASPCOMP 2017) and affiliated with the 14th International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning (LPNMR 2017).
3 - 5 July 2017, Conference on Mereology and Identity, Pisa, Italy
The contemporary debate on mereology is largely hinged on the notion of identity. Indeed, classical mereology dictates that complex entities are identical if and only if they have the same proper parts. On the other hand, many scholars who doubt the adequacy of classical mereology point to real or fictional cases in which different wholes would have the same proper parts. The upholders of Composition as Identity think that identity, or a relation analogous to identity, also connects a whole with its parts. By contrast, the opponents of Composition as Identity retort that composition fails to respect some pivotal principles that holds for standard identity, such as the Indiscerniblity of Identicals, coreferentiality or transitivity. Finally, in the debate about Composition as Identity, the so-called Sider-Yi Collapse seems to show that some roles sometimes attributed to identity are incompatible with the standard characterization of plural identity.
The conference will host the main scholars involved in this debate, with the purpose of encouraging innovative solutions to various open problems.
The Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa (Italy) and the University of Padua (Italy) have the pleasure to offer 6 bursaries (including a single room in Pisa, one social dinner and meals at the university restaurant for the duration of the conference) to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who are willing to be actively involved in the conference. The selected participants ARE NOT expected to deliver a presentation, but to attend the lectures of the invited speakers and raise objections and questions. Travel expenses will not be reimbursed.

21 - 23 September 2017, First Workshop on Interaction-Based Knowledge Sharing (WINKS 2017), Bolzano, Italy
This first Workshop on Interaction-Based Knowledge Sharing (WINKS) collocated with the third Joint Ontology Workshop is fully dedicated to challenges and solutions to knowledge sharing in interaction-based environments, ranging from the Internet of Things to multi-agent systems. Gradually expanding, distributed systems heighten the need of a dynamic interactive knowledge sharing process, while at the same time an increasing heterogeneity of resources renders this process more complex. As a highly interdisciplinary workshop, discussions will center on requirements and suggestions to endow computational models with knowledge sharing capabilities in interactive scenarios.
SUBMISSIONS Submissions need to present original research and contain an abstract of no more than 300 words. Both full papers (mature research work describing original research and its validation) and short papers (research papers describing interesting new open issues and challenges, and opinions on the status of the field) are sollicited.
Topics:
- Ontological grounding of knowledge sharing and interactions
- Interaction-Based Reasoning
- Interaction-Based Knowledge Resources Engineering
- Knowledge Sharing in Interaction-based Applications
21 - 23 September 2017, 1st Workshop on Contextual Representation of Objects and Events in Language (CREOL 2017), Bolzano, Italy
CREOL aims at gathering together researchers from different communities (Applied Ontology, NLP, AI, Semantic Web) to investigate the relationship between representations of objects and events in ontological and linguistic resources, and their interpretation in their context of occurrence.
Presentations of sollicited contributions will be followed by a multi-centric panel session where authors will meet and discuss with other researchers and stakeholders from industry. Follow-up discussions will be organized to promote project networking, cross-contamination on methodological prospective approaches and techniques, and discussions over practical, individuated applications.
We solicit the following sorts of contributions:
- Regular papers on research issues and/or achievements describing original and unpublished work within the scope of the workshop (for oral presentation, up to 10 pages including references)
- Short papers reporting on system descriptions and demos (either oral presentation or poster, up to 6 pages including references)
- Extended abstracts reporting on International and national activities, projects and collaborations (presented in a 3 minute pitch, up to 4 pages including references).
21 - 23 September 2017, 1st International Workshop on Epistemology in Ontologies (EPINON 2017)
Formal ontologies and knowledge representation mainly focus on characterising how a given domain is structured, i.e., they identify a set of concepts, entities, and relations together with the constraints that hold for this domain. The structure of the characterisation is usually intended to reflect the point of view of significant experts or a realist view of how things about a particular domain are. The aim of this workshop is to explore an epistemological stance in formal ontology and knowledge representation and focus on the assessment of the modelling provided by the ontology designer. In particular, we are interested in fostering the discussion about two intertwined research directions, the Epistemological Foundations of Ontologies and the Ontologies of Epistemology.
This workshop is part of The Joint Ontology Workshops, Episode III, JOWO 2017.
We aim to address to an interdisciplinary audience, by inviting scholars in philosophy, computer science, logic, conceptual modelling, knowledge representation, and cognitive science to contribute to the discussion on the Epistemological Foundation of Ontologies and/or the Ontological Foundation of Epistemology. We welcome two types of submissions: Research articles for presenting original unpublished work, and Extended abstracts for presenting brief descriptions of ongoing research and projects, preliminary approaches, or descriptions of related previously published research.
10 - 23 July 2017, 12th Summer School "Algebra, Topology, Analysis", Kolochava, Ukraine

17 - 18 July 2017, 12th International Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning (NeSy 2017), London, England
Artificial Intelligence researchers continue to face huge challenges in their quest to develop truly intelligent systems. The recent developments in the field of neural-symbolic integration bring an opportunity to integrate well-founded symbolic artificial intelligence with robust neural computing machinery to help tackle some of these challenges.
The Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning is intended to create an atmosphere of exchange of ideas, providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of the key topics related to neural-symbolic integration.
17 - 21 July 2017, Formal approaches to the dynamics of linguistic interaction, Toulouse, France
It is uncontentious that natural language use involves interaction; between participants in a dialogue, between modalities such as vision, gesture and speech, and between new and existing information in language acquisition, for example. For this ESSLLI 2017 workshop we maintain a broad notion of interaction, roughly the production and exchange of information between agents of some sort, be they natural or artificial (e.g. avatars or modelling devices as in certain types of logics). We favour contributions which focus on the dynamics of the information exchange and discuss formal models to reconstruct it.
17 - 21 July 2017, ESSLLI-2017 workshop on Quantifiers and Determiners (QUAD), Toulouse, France
This workshop aims at gathering mathematicians, logicians, linguists, computer scientists to present their latest advances in the study of quantification.
There is a long history of quantification in the Ancient and Medieval times at the border between logic and philosophy of language, before the proper formalisation of quantification by Frege. But many mathematical and linguistic questions remain open, both on the mathematical side (such as the proof theory of generalised quantifiers or the computational aspects of alternate formulations such as Russel's ioata), and the linguistic side (such as the relation between the syntactic structure and its semantic interpretation, or the relationship between quantification and phenomena like generics, plurals, and mass nouns), as well as the intersection of the two sides (for instance, psycholinguistic experiments that connect formal models and their computational properties to the actual way human do process sentences with quantifiers).
All those aspects are connected in the didactics of mathematics and computer science: there are specific difficulties to teach (and to learn) how to understand, manipulate, produce and prove quantified statements, and to determine the proper level of formalisation between bare logical formulas and written or spoken natural language.
17-28 July 2017, 29th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI 2017), Toulouse, France

17 - 28 July 2017, 7th Workshop on Intuitionistic Modal Logic and Applications (IMLA 2017), Toulouse, France
Constructive modal logics and type theories are of increasing foundational and practical relevance in computer science. Applications of constructive modal logics in type disciplines for programming languages, meta-logics for reasoning about a variety of computational phenomena and explanatory frameworks in philosophical logic are everywhere.
The workshop aims at developing and explaining theoretical and methodological issues 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 of which modal connectives with associated laws or proof rules capture computational phenomena accurately and at the right level of abstraction.
In its seventh edition, the Workshop on Intuitionistic Modal Logic and Applications will take place in Toulouse France, in conjunction with the 29th ESSLLI.

CfP special issue of "Philosophies" on logic, inference, probability, and paradox
Reasoning with uncertain knowledge is a growing area of interest, involving several tendencies, such as reasoning with non-standard theories of probability (e.g., theories of probability based on non-classical logics) and combining argumentation systems with probabilities or probabilistic semantics. All such tendencies and areas of investigation are naturally generalized to possibility systems and other credal calculi. This poses new and intriguing questions on the philosophy of probability and credal calculi in general, amplifying the discussions around the correct formal theories of probability and on the interpretations of probability, among the classical, logical, frequentist, propensity, and subjectivist (and possibly others). Dilemmas and paradoxes in probabilities and credal calculi are also a relevant area of research.
This Special Issue intends to contribute to the state-of-the-art of such research topics by gathering together the contribution of authors in interconnected areas including logical, mathematical and conceptual aspects. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. Guest Editors: Julio Stern Walter Carnielli Juliana Bueno-Soler.
All papers are invited in the following (non-exclusive) topics:
-interpretations of probability, possibility and other credal calculi
-philosophy of probability, possibility and other credal calculi
-probabilistic and possibilistic argumentation and inference
-probability, possibility and uncertain reasoning
-paradoxes in probability, possibility and other credal calculi

23-29 July 2017, Symposium on History and Philosophy of Computing (HaPoC symposium @ICHST), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
We are happy to announce that the Commission for the History and Philosophy of Computing will submit a proposal for the organization of the DHST/DLMPS HaPoC symposium titled 'The Ubiquity of Computing: historical and philosophical issues'.
The history of information and communication technologies (ICTs), despite its approximately 70 years, has already shown a rich accumulated experience coming from the most diversified initiatives, efforts and pioneering projects. Fully incorporated into reality, to the point of being considered ubiquitous, ICTs can be considered mature enough to bring about a balance that seeks to account for its past and its origins. A more extensive study of their history surely contributes to establish a valuable research field and to consolidate an international community of historians and philosophers of ICTs, discussing and framing propositions that can help to inspire and produce future developments.

17 - 28 July 2017, ESSLLI 2017 Student Session, Toulouse, France
The Student Session of the 29th European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI) will take place in Toulouse, France, July 17th to 28th, 2017. The Student Session is a forum for PhD and Master students to present their research at the interfaces of logic, language, and computation. It features three tracks: Logic & Computation (LoCo), Logic & Language (LoLa), and Language & Computation (LaCo).
17 - 28 July 2017, 7th Workshop on Intuitionistic Modal Logic and Applications (IMLA 2017), Toulouse, France
Constructive modal logics and type theories are of increasing foundational and practical relevance in computer science. Applications of constructive modal logics in type disciplines for programming languages, meta-logics for reasoning about a variety of computational phenomena and explanatory frameworks in philosophical logic are everywhere.
The workshop aims at developing and explaining theoretical and methodological issues 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 of which modal connectives with associated laws or proof rules capture computational phenomena accurately and at the right level of abstraction.
In its seventh edition, the Workshop on Intuitionistic Modal Logic and Applications will take place in Toulouse France, in conjunction with the 29th ESSLLI.
23-29 July 2017, Symposium on History and Philosophy of Computing (HaPoC symposium @ICHST), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
We are happy to announce that the Commission for the History and Philosophy of Computing will submit a proposal for the organization of the DHST/DLMPS HaPoC symposium titled 'The Ubiquity of Computing: historical and philosophical issues'.
The history of information and communication technologies (ICTs), despite its approximately 70 years, has already shown a rich accumulated experience coming from the most diversified initiatives, efforts and pioneering projects. Fully incorporated into reality, to the point of being considered ubiquitous, ICTs can be considered mature enough to bring about a balance that seeks to account for its past and its origins. A more extensive study of their history surely contributes to establish a valuable research field and to consolidate an international community of historians and philosophers of ICTs, discussing and framing propositions that can help to inspire and produce future developments.

Encouraged by previous years of success, we offer students from all over the world the possibility to sign up this 1-week (3 ECTS) Summer School course covering topics such as: Term Rewriting Systems, Recursion and Complexity, Proof Theory and the Art of Ordinal Analysis, or Geometric Logic-Topos Theory. Students may anticipate a high professional outcome in a dedicated international environment along with extra-curricular activities.
23 - 29 July 2017, Symposium "The interface between the study of cultural diversity in science and decision-making in science policy", Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The International Association for Science and Cultural Diversity (IASCUD) is hosting a symposium titled "The interface between the study of cultural diversity in science and decision-making in science policy" at the 25th International Congress of History of Science and Technology to be held in Rio de Janeiro, 23-29 July 2017. The organisers of the symposium are Nina Atanasova (Toledo OH, U.S.A.) and Benedikt Loewe (Amsterdam, The Netherlands & Hamburg, Germany).
In this symposium, we wish to explore the actual and potential connections between researchers who study the cultural variety of science from historical, sociological, and philosophical perspectives and the deciders and stakeholders in both local and global science policy: Are policy makers informed about the effects of scientific cultural diversity? If so, how does this affect their decisions? If not, what can researchers of cultural diversity in science do in order to connect to the decision makers?
24 - 27 July 2017, Fourteenth International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2017), Daejeon, South Korea
The conference is concerned with the theory of computability and complexity over real-valued data. Scientists working in the area of computation on real-valued data come from different fields, such as theoretical computer science, domain theory, logic, constructive mathematics, computer arithmetic, numerical mathematics and all branches of analysis. The conference provides a unique opportunity for people from such diverse areas to meet, present work in progress and exchange ideas and knowledge.
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.
26 - 27 July 2017, 5th International Workshop on Strategic Reasoning (SR 2017), Liverpool, England
Strategic reasoning is one of the most active research areas in the multi-agent system domain. The literature in this field is extensive and provides a plethora of logics for modelling strategic ability. Theoretical results are now being used in many exciting domains, including software tools for information system security, robot teams with sophisticated adaptive strategies, and automatic players capable of beating expert human adversaries, just to cite a few. All these examples share the challenge of developing novel theories and tools for agent-based reasoning that take into account the likely behaviour of adversaries. The international workshop on strategic reasoning aims to bring together researchers working on different aspects of strategic reasoning in computer science, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view.
SR 2017 will be co-located with TARK 2017, which will be held in Liverpool on July 24-26, 2017.
26 - 27 July 2017, Sixteenth International Workshop on Proof, Computation & Complexity (PCC 2017), Goettingen, Germany
The aim of PCC is to stimulate research in proof theory, computation, and complexity, focusing on issues which combine logical and computational aspects. Topics may include applications of formal inference systems in computer science, as well as new developments in proof theory motivated by computer science demands. PCC 2017 will include an unveiling ceremony of a commemorative plaque for Paul Bernays.

30 July - 5 August 2017, Summer School on Mathematical Philosophy for Female Students 2017, Munich, Germany
The Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) is organizing the fourth Summer School on Mathematical Philosophy for Female Students. Since women are significantly underrepresented in philosophy generally and in formal philosophy in particular, this summer school is aimed at encouraging women to engage with mathematical methods and apply them to philosophical problems.
This year the focus of the summer school will be to provide a framework for developing expertise in formal approaches used in (1) philosophy of language, (2) philosophy of logic, and (3) philosophy of mathematics. The summer school will offer the opportunity for study in an informal setting, for lively debate, and for the development of a network with students and professors interested in the application of formal methods in philosophy. Finally, being located at the MCMP, the summer school will also provide a stimulating and interdisciplinary environment for meeting like-minded philosophers.
The deadline for applications is *March 5, 2017.

31 July - 4 August 2017, 10th International Summer School on Verification Technology, Systems & Applications, Saarbrücken, Germany
We believe that all three aspects verification technology, systems & applications strongly depend on each other and that progress in the area of formal analysis and verification can only be made if all three aspects are considered as a whole. Our five speakers Rajeev Alur, Christel Baier, Hoon Hong, Andrew Reynolds and Thomas Wies stand for this view in that they represent and will present a particular verification technology and its implementation in a system in order to successfully apply the approach to real world verification problems.
The school is synchronized with the SC2 Summer School 2017, happening at the same time in the same place. The deadline for application is June 1st, 2017.
