The 1st workshop of Formal Reasoning and Semantics will be held at the Inter-University Center Dubrovnik (IUC) as a part of the 7th conference Logic and Applications (LAP 2018). The workshop is organized within the research project Formal Reasoning and Semantics (FORMALS).

The emphasis of the project is on applications of logic in computer science, and vice versa, the application of computational tools in logical and mathematical research. Another goal is to apply logic to specific problems of linguistics or, more generally, cognitive and information sciences, as well as interdisciplinary areas in which economics and mathematics overlap (game theory, social choice theory).

Invited speakers: Vivek Nigam.

MIWAI aims to promote AI research in both theoretical and applied research addressing real-world applications. The main objective of the conference is to present the latest research and results of scientists related to AI topics. The theme for this year's event is "Intelligent World". MIWAI 2018 provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and establish future collaborations. This year the conference is organized by Mahasarakham University, with association of Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology and University of Science and Technology of Hanoi, Vietnam.

The EPICENTER, our research center on Epistemic Game Theory at Maastricht University, offers this two-week intensive course as an introduction to the blooming field of Epistemic Game Theory. This field takes a new, fresh approach to game theory, and studies how people reason in game theoretic situations before they eventually make a choice. More precisely, it explores how we reason about the minds of others before we make a choice. Hence, the reasoning of people like you and me is at the center stage of epistemic game theory.

Using logic as the foundation to understand machine learning to obtain the best of both worlds is a major challenge. The Logic & Learning School is an opportunity to learn from, and interact with, the world's experts leading recent progress in understanding the relationships between logic and learning. These experts come from both academia and some of the leading industrial research labs (Amazon Research and DeepMind).

The programme of the Logic & Learning School consists of ten lectures of three hours each, starting with four introductory courses on computational and statistical learning theory, reinforcement learning and Bayesian inference, and six advanced courses on exciting and recent developments relating logic and learning. The lectures target an audience of logicians and computer scientists broadly construed and do not assume any knowledge on machine learning.  The summer school is perfectly aligned for students who want to attend the four-yearly Federated Logic Conference (FLOC) taking place in Oxford after the summer school.

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 in reality. 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: epistemology of ontology and and ontology of epistemology. We are interested in formal and ontological approaches to the definitions of the concepts that are relevant to the assessment of the perspective of the ontology designer. Problems related to this direction include: ontology of general epistemological concepts (e.g. proof, argument, explanation, epistemic reliability, trust), ontology of cognitive concepts (perception, reasoning, sensations), ontology of data and measurements.

The MIREL 2018 workshop is the start of the Luxembourg Logic for AI Summit. The aim of the workshop is to bridge the gap between the community working on legal ontologies and NLP parsers and the community working on reasoning methods and formal logic, in line with the objectives of the MIREL (MIning and REasoning with Legal texts) project. The workshop aims at fostering the scientific discussion between approaches based on language technologies applied to the legal domain (representing legal knowledge) and those based on legal reasoning (using the legal knowledge to build specialized services and applications).

The major trend in modern logic is the move from logic to logics. The need for formal modelling of reasoning in various fields of science (philosophy, linguistics, AI, cognitive, social and management sciences) led to the design of hundreds of bespoke logics. For instance, the focus on multi-agent interaction and social behaviour has led to the introduction of logics specific to contexts involving e.g. dynamic changes, uncertainty, incomplete and inconsistent information, which are at odds with reasoning as is formalized in classical logic. This rapid expansion has generated the need to develop overarching theories capable to provide uniform proofs of fundamental properties--such as soundness, completeness, analiticity, decidability--for each member of vast families of logics, while at the same time accounting in a modular way for the specific features of each.

Algebraic proof theory is a research area in which these general results can be achieved using insights from algebraic logic, universal algebra, duality and representation theory for classes of algebras. This workshop aims to bring together researchers in algebraic proof theory and its applications, explore promising research directions, and foster collaborations. The workshop is organised on the occasion of the PhD defenses of Fei Liang and Apostolos Tzimoulis.

The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig organizes a Summer School on the Foundations of Geometry in Historical Perspective. The School deals with a selection of topics in history of geometry, philosophy of geometry, and the history and the contemporary perspectives on the foundations of geometry. The School is open to PhD students writing a dissertation in any of the related field, as well as to Master Students in their final years who have a strong interest in the discipline, and post-doctoral researchers who have obtained their PhD since no more than five years and whose main field of research are the history and the foundations of geometry.

The six days of the School are dedicated to an intensive series of lectures and discussions on various aspects of the history of the foundations of geometry, given by leading experts in the field:    Andrew Arana (Université Pantheon-Sorbonne), Vincenzo De Risi (CNRS, Paris), Jeremy Gray (Open University, Milton Keynes), Gerhard Heinzmann (Archives Poincaré, Nancy), Jürgen Jost (MPI MiS, Leipzig), and Victor Pambuccian (Arizona State University, Phoenix).

CL&C is focused on the interplay between, on one side, the exploration of the computational content of classical mathematical proofs, and on the other side, the languages and the semantical models proposed in computer science for this task: continuations, game models, denotational models, learning models and so forth. The scientific aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from both proof theory and computer science and to exchange ideas. This year, CL&C will be held as a satellite workshop of FSCD 2018 (former TLCA + RTA).

Invited Speaker: Alex Simpson.

Logical frameworks and meta-languages form a common substrate for representing, implementing and reasoning about a wide variety of deductive systems of interest in logic and computer science. Their design, implementation and their use in reasoning tasks, ranging from the correctness of software to the properties of formal systems, have been the focus of considerable research over the last two decades. This workshop will bring together designers, implementors and practitioners to discuss various aspects impinging on the structure and utility of logical frameworks, including state-of-the-art techniques, the treatment of variable binding, inductive and co-inductive reasoning techniques and the expressiveness and lucidity of the reasoning process.

Invited Speakers : Delia Kesner (Université Paris Diderot, France), Kuen-Bang Hou, alias Favonia (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA), and Grigore Rosu (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA).

Formal tools coming from logic and category theory are important in both natural language semantics and in computational semantics. Moreover, work on these tools borrows heavily from all areas of theoretical computer science. In the other direction, applications having to do with natural language has inspired developments on the formal side. The workshop, affiliated with Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) 2018, invites papers on both topics. Invited speaker: Ann Copestake, University of Cambridge.

Strategic reasoning is one of the most active research area in multi-agent system domain. The literature in this field is extensive and provides a plethora of logics for modeling 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 adversary, 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 behavior of adversaries.

The SR international workshop, held within FLOC 2018, 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.

The morning sessions will be devoted to tutorials on topics closely related to strategic reasoning, namely cooperative game theory (by Edith Elkind) and parity games (by Marcin Jurdziński).

Developing formal methods to program and reason about infinite data, whether inductive or coinductive, is challenging and subject to numerous recent research efforts. The understanding of the logical and computational principles underlying these notions is reaching a mature stage as illustrated by the numerous advances that have appeared in the recent years. The workshop aims at gathering researchers working on these topics as well as colleagues interested in understanding the recent results and open problems of this line of research.

For outsiders, the workshop will offer tutorial sessions and survey-like invited talks. For specialists of the topic, the workshop will permit to gather people working with syntactical or semantical methods, people focusing on proof systems or programming languages, and foster exchanges and discussions benefiting from their various perspectives. The workshop is affiliated with FSCD 2018, as part of the Federated Logic Conference of 2018 and is funded by French ANR, RAPIDO project.

Proof complexity is the study of the complexity of theorem proving procedures. The central question in proof complexity is: given a theorem F and a proof system P, what is the size of the smallest proof of F in the system P? Moreover, how difficult is it to construct a small proof? Many ingenious techniques have been developed to try to answer these questions, which bare tight relations to intricate theoretical open problems from computational complexity (such as the celebrated P vs. NP problem), mathematical logic (e.g. separating theories of Bounded Arithmetic) as well as to practical problems in SAT/QBF solving.

The workshop will be part of FLoC and will be affiliated with the conferences SAT'18 and LICS'18.

The EPICENTER, our research center on Epistemic Game Theory at Maastricht University, offers this two-week intensive course as an introduction to the blooming field of Epistemic Game Theory. This field takes a new, fresh approach to game theory, and studies how people reason in game theoretic situations before they eventually make a choice. More precisely, it explores how we reason about the minds of others before we make a choice. Hence, the reasoning of people like you and me is at the center stage of epistemic game theory.

Several new models of computation have emerged in the last years, and many developments of traditional computation models have been proposed with the aim of taking into account the new demands of users of computer systems and the new capabilities of computation engines.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are currently developing new computation models or new features for traditional computation models, in order to foster their 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 2018 will take place in Oxford on July 8, as a one-day satellite event of FLoC 2018, associated to LICS'18.

Women are chronically underrepresented in the LICS community; consequently they sometimes feel both conspicuous and isolated, and hence there is a risk that the under-representation is self-perpetuating. The second Women in Logic Workshop (WiL 2018), held as a LICS associated workshop, will provide an opportunity for women in the field to increase awareness of one another and one another's work, to combat the feeling of isolation. It will also provide an environment where women can present to an audience comprised of mostly women, replicating the experience that most men have at most LICS meetings, and lowering the stress of the occasion; we hope that this will be particularly attractive to early-career women.

The workshop will consist of invited talks by leading coalgebra researchers as well as prominent researchers whose work has often crossed paths with the coalgebra community. The workshop will be a chance for a wider audience, such as the one attending FLOC, to be introduced to coalgebra theory by some of the founders of the field.

Early registration closes on June 6.

The intention of the workshop is to bring together researchers in Ramsey theory, computability theory, and related areas in combinatorics and logic, to share ideas and results, and to begin or continue collaborations. To this end, the workshop will combine talks with free time for discussions and collaboration.

The FMLAMAS 2018 workshop will provide a working meeting and discussion forum for researchers working on various formal methods and logical aspects of multi-agent systems (MAS) from the perspectives of artificial intelligence, computer science, and game theory. It will address a wide range of issues that arise in these contexts, from theoretical foundations to algorithmic methods, implemented tools, and applications.

HOPOS is devoted to promoting serious, scholarly research on the history of the philosophy of science. We construe this subject broadly, to include topics in the history of related disciplines and in all historical periods, studied through diverse methodologies. We aim to promote historical work in a variety of ways, but especially through encouraging exchange among scholars through meetings, publications, and electronic media.

HOPOS 2018 will take place at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands in July 2018. The local organizers include Professor Martin Lenz, Dr Han Thomas Adriaenssen and Dr Andrea Sangiacomo of the History of Philosophy Department. Keynote speakers: Karen Detlefsen (University of Pennsylvania) and Martin Kusch (University of Vienna).

The ITP conference series is concerned with all topics related to interactive theorem proving, ranging from theoretical foundations to implementation aspects and applications in program verification, security, and formalization of mathematics. ITP is the evolution of the TPHOLs conference series to the broad field of interactive theorem proving.

FSCD covers all aspects of formal structures for computation and deduction from theoretical foundations to applications. Building on two communities, RTA (Rewriting Techniques and Applications) and TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications), FSCD embraces their core topics and broadens their scope to closely related areas in logics, proof theory and new emerging models of computation such as quantum computing or homotopy type theory. FSCD'18 is part of The Federated Logic Conference, FLoC 2018.

The International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT) is the premier annual meeting for researchers focusing on the theory and applications of the propositional satisfiability problem, broadly construed. In addition to plain propositional satisfiability, it also includes Boolean optimization (such as MaxSAT and Pseudo-Boolean (PB) constraints), Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF), Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT), and Constraint Programming (CP) for problems with clear connections to Boolean-level reasoning. SAT 2018 will take place as part of the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) in Oxford.

The goal of the Logic, Uncertainty and Games School is to contribute towards the creation of cross-disciplinary common grounds for research on rational reasoning and (interactive) decision making under uncertainty. To this end the School will feature three eight-hour tutorials delivered by leading experts in the fields of Logic, Uncertainty and Games.

Each tutorial is followed by one (or more) example-class session aimed at developing in greater detail one specific topic (e.g. the full proof of a theorem or a generalisation of a notion which is being used in a particular case).

Finally, graduate students and junior researchers will deliver Work-in-progress sessions. This will provide them a unique opportunity to receive feedback from the School lecturers, while developing strong inter-disciplinary communication skills.

What are the functions of emotions? How and why did they evolve? And what can we learn from studying how we communicate our emotions?

In this workshop, a series of distinguished scholars will address these and related questions. The speakers are known for combining anthropological, psychological, and biological theories and methods; an integrative perspective on the evolution of emotions will be a central part of this workshop.

LCC meetings are aimed at the foundational interconnections between logic and computational complexity, as present, for example, in implicit computational complexity; deductive formalisms as they relate to complexity; complexity aspects of finite model theory and databases; complexity-mindful program derivation and verification; computational complexity at higher type; and proof complexity. LCC 2018 will be part of FLoC 2018.

The program will consist of invited lectures by Mikolaj Bojanczyk (University of Warsaw) and Ugo Dal Lago (University of Bologna and INRIA Sophia Antipolis), as well as contributed talks selected by the Program Committee.

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) 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. Thus, there exist many ``natural links'' between FCA and AI.

The five preceding editions of the FCA4AI Workshop  showed that many researchers working in Artificial Intelligence are indeed interested in a powerful method for classification and mining such as Formal Concept Analysis. This year, we have the chance to organize a new edition of the workshop in Stockholm co-located with the IJCAI 2018 Conference.

The e-Ideas Group at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands is pleased to announce its first workshop, taking place in dates 13-14th July 2018 in Amsterdam.

The aim of the workshop will be to foster discussion on the development of mathematics and related themes in philosophy in the German speaking context during the 19th century.

Confirmed keynote speakers: Paola Basso (University of Bucharest, Romania), Paola Cantù (Université Aix-Marseille, France), Jeremy Heis (University of California, Irvine, U.S.A.) and James Tappenden (University of Michigan, U.S.A.).

The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic research community. It is the forum at which those interested in description logics, both from academia and industry, meet to discuss ideas, share information and compare experiences. The 31st edition will be collocated with the 16th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2018).

Explainable AI (XAI) systems embody explanation processes that allow users to gain insight into the system's models and decisions, with the intent of improving the user's performance on a related task. This raises several questions, such as: how should explainable models be designed? How should user interfaces communicate decision making? What types of user interactions should be supported? How should explanation quality be measured? These questions are of interest to researchers, practitioners, and end-users, independent of what AI techniques are used. Solutions can draw from several disciplines, including cognitive science, human factors, and psycholinguistics.

Everyday human decision making involves various kinds of non-classical reasoning such as reasoning with uncertainty, exceptions, similarity, vagueness, incomplete or contradictory information and many others. These types of reasoning usually show two intertwined aspects, an ampliative aspect (augmenting the underlying reasoning by allowing more conclusions) and a defeasible aspect (curtailing the underlying reasoning by either disregarding or disallowing some conclusions that somehow ought not to be sanctioned). Several efforts have been put into the study and definition of formalisms within which the aforementioned aspects of everyday reasoning could adequately be captured at different levels. But despite the progress that has been achieved, large avenues remain open for exploration.

DARe aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from core areas of artificial intelligence, cognitive sciences, philosophy and related disciplines to discuss these kinds of problems and relevant results in a multi-disciplinary forum. The goal of the workshop is to present latest research developments, to discuss current directions in the field, and to collect first-hand feedback from the community.

IJCAR is the premier international joint conference on all topics in automated reasoning. The IJCAR technical program will consist of presentations of high-quality original research papers, system descriptions, and invited talks.

IJCAR 2018 takes place as part of FLoC 2018 and is the merger of leading events in automated reasoning: CADE (Conference on Automated Deduction), FroCoS (Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems) and TABLEAUX (Conference on Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods).

Computational approaches play an increasingly important role in historical linguistics and typology. During the last two decades, scholars have made significant advances in automatizing and formalizing specific aspects of the workflow of the classic comparative method. But despite the growing interest in automated approaches to historical linguistics, it is obvious that automatic approaches are still far away from being able to replace human experts, and the majority of approaches still makes broad use of manually annotated datasets. More than two decades after the quantitative turn in historical linguistics, we think it is time to reconsider how computational approaches in historical linguistics can be further improved, and where their current limits can be found.

We invite submissions of papers which address one or several of the following questions:
1. How can we improve the automatic identification of cognates?
2. How can computational methods help to infer deeper genetic relations between the world’s language families?
3. How can big data approaches from computational linguistics help to improve classical approaches to historical linguistics?
4. What are the strengths and shortcomings of phylogenetic methods?
5. How does demography and geography influence the spread of languages through time and space?
6. Are there universal tendencies in the evolution of the world’s languages?
7. How to integrate typological features with lexical features for inferring language phylogenies and predicting typological features for ancestral languages?

CCC is a workshop series bringing together researchers from exact real number computation, computable analysis, effective descriptive set theory, constructive analysis, and related areas. The overall aim is to apply logical methods in these disciplines to provide a sound foundation for obtaining exact and provably correct algorithms for computations with real numbers and related analytical data, which are of increasing importance in safety critical applications and scientific computation.

Invited Speakers: Vasco Brattka (Munich, Germany), Akitoshi Kawamura (Fukuoka, Japan), Jaap van Oosten (Utrecht, Netherlands), and Warwick Tucker (Uppsala, Sweden). Tutorial Speaker: Martin Ziegler (Daejeon, South Korea).

Modern connexive logic started in the 1960s with seminal papers by Richard B. Angell and Storrs McCall. Systems of connexive logic have been motivated by considerations on a content connection between the antecedent and succedent of valid implications and by applications that range from Aristotle's syllogistic to Categorial Grammar and the study of causal implications. As we are observing some growing interests in topics related to connexive logics, the fourth workshop aims at discussing directions for future research in connexive logics. Moreover, we will have a special session on contra-classical logics, namely a broad family of nonclassical logics, including connexive logics, that are orthogonal to classical logic.

The ARQNL workshop aims at fostering the development of proof calculi, automated theorem proving systems and model finders for all sorts of quantified non-classical logics. Non-classical logics - such as modal logics, conditional logics, intuitionistic logic, description logics, temporal logics, linear logic, dynamic logic, deontic logics, fuzzy logic, paraconsistent logic, relevance logic - have many applications in AI, Computer Science, Philosophy, Linguistics and Mathematics. Hence, the automation of proof search in these logics is a crucial task. The workshop will provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss recent developments in this area.

On August 26, 2017, our colleague Carolina Blasio fell victim to a fatal car accident in Campinas, Brazil, only one day after successfully defending her PhD thesis "Sobre Noções de Consequência Generalizadas e Lógicas Plurivalentes" (On generalized notions of consequence and plurivalent logics) at UNICAMP (Brazil). She was a young and promising researcher, besides being the administrator of the Brazilian discussion group on Logic, an active member of the Brazilian LaTeX community, and a diligent feminist campaigner. This special issue of Synthese, on Varieties of Entailment, is dedicated to her memory, and is concerned with topics in logic and philosophy of logic related to her fields of interest.

Non-monotonic reasoning has received a lot of attention in the fields of artificial intelligence and philosophical logic. One of the most promising paradigms is formal argumentation. One central goal of this research program is to give a (normative) account of actual human reasoning. However, there is still a substantial gap between these formal models and many real-life instances of the formalized phenomena.
