2 - 6 September 2019, Workshop Continuity, Computability, Constructivity - From Logic to Algorithms (CCC 2019), Ljubljana, Slovenia
CCC is a workshop series that brings together researchers applying logical methods to the development of algorithms, with a particular focus on computation with infinite data, where issues of continuity, computability and constructivity play major roles. Specific topics include 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 other continuous data, which are of increasing importance in safety critical applications and scientific computation.
Invited Speakers: Hannes Diener (Christchurch, New Zealand) , Fabian Immler (Pittsburgh, USA), Florian Steinberg (Paris, France), Thomas Streicher (Darmstadt, France) and Holger Thies (Fukuoka, Japan). Tutorial Speaker: Helmut Schwichtenberg (Munich, Germany).
Extended abstracts (1-2 pages) of original work are welcome. The workshop specifically invites contributions in the areas of Exact real number computation, Correctness of algorithms on infinite data, Computable analysis, Complexity of real numbers, real-valued functions, etc., Effective descriptive set theory, Domain theory, Constructive analysis, Category-theoretic approaches to computation on infinite data, Weihrauch degrees, and related areas.
2 - 3 September 2019, 2nd Irvine-London-Munich-PoliMi-Salzburg Conference in Philosophy and Foundations of Physics (ILMPS 2019), Salzburg, Austria
Over the past decades, important contributions to the mathematical and conceptual foundations of physical theories have been made within the philosophical community. Conversely, critical analysis of the formal structures of our best physical theories inform central philosophical concerns, and in some cases new theorems have been proven and new lines of argument developed that are of philosophical significance. This conference series aims to bring together philosophers, physicists, and mathematicians working on such issues. This year's event will be held on September 2-3, 2019 at the University of Salzburg (Austria). It will immediately precede a workshop on "Symmetry and Equivalence in Physics" taking place on September 3-4, 2019.
We invite the submission of papers on any topic of philosophy and foundations of physics by younger researchers. Submissions by graduate students and post-doctoral scholars are particularly encouraged and will be given priority. Papers of no longer than 5000 words should be submitted via EasyChair by 1 July, 2019. Submissions should include a title, and a brief abstract (up to 200 words), and should be blinded for peer review. They should be PDF files.

1 - 15 July 2019, Spring Course in Epistemic Game Theory
Epistemic game theory is a new, fresh approach to game theory where the reasoning of people is at center stage. More precisely, it investigates how people like you and me reason in a game theoretic situation before they make a decision. Not only do we reason about the possible choices of others, but also about the reasoning of others. This type of reasoning will be our main theme of interest. The 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.

26 August 2019, 2nd International Workshop on Recent Advancement in Concurrency and Logic (RADICAL 2019) , Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Concurrency and Logics are two of the most active research areas in the theoretical computer science domain. The literature in these fields is extensive and provides a plethora of logics and models for reasoning about intelligent and distributed systems. More recently, the interplay of concurrency and logic with other research areas has received much attention, as witnessed by recent editions of AI conferences. All these examples share the challenge of developing novel theories and tools for automated reasoning that take into account the behaviour of concurrent and multi-agent entities.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers working on different aspects of logic and concurrency in AI, multi-agent systems, and computer science, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. Besides, it aims to promote research on Foundation of AI in other research communities that are traditionally Theoretical Computer Science-oriented.
We invite submissions describing talk proposals on the intersection of logic and concurrency. A submission to RADICAL would typically fall within one of the following categories: reports of an ongoing work and/or preliminary results; summaries of an already published paper (or series of papers); overviews of (recent) PhD theses; descriptions of research projects and consortia; manifestos, calls to action, personal views on current and future challenges; overviews of interesting yet underrepresented problems.
Submitted contributions should not exceed 3 pages (not including references) using the EasyChair format. Submissions based on already published works should include explicit references/links as appropriate.
12 - 14 September 2019, Workshop: Assertion and Proof (WAP 2019), Lecce, Italy
The notion of assertion plays a key inferential role and has a long tradition in logic. It is a key ingredient in most logical systems, either implicitly or explicitly. The idea of assertion thus appears strongly invariant across a range of logical theories, logical methods, and logical notations.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together scholars interested in the analysis of the logical notion of assertion and other related notions such as inference, proof, argument, meaning of logical constants that may receive an assertion-based interpretation.
A satellite event to WAP 2019 is the workshop "Peirce on Assertion".
Please send an abstract of no more than 500 words by email. In the body of the email in which you submit the abstract, please include author name(s), the title of the talk and your affiliation. Include the abstract in a separate document (PDF) attached in the email with no identifying information in the document.

7 July 2019, International Workshop on Quantified Boolean Formulas and Beyond (QBF 2019), Lisbon, Portugal
Quantified Boolean formulas (QBF) are an extension of propositional logic which allows for explicit quantification over propositional variables. Many problems from application domains such as model checking, formal verification or synthesis can be encoded as a QBF in a natural way. Considerable progress has been made in QBF solving throughout the past years. However, in contrast to SAT, QBF is not yet widely applied to practical problems in academic or industrial settings. The goal of the International Workshop on Quantified Boolean Formulas and Beyond (QBF 2019) is to bring together researchers working on theoretical and practical aspects of QBF solving.
In addition to that, it addresses (potential) users of QBF in order to reflect on the state-of-the-art and to consolidate on immediate and long-term research challenges. The workshop also welcomes work on reasoning with quantifiers in related problems, such as dependency QBF (DQBF), quantified constraint satisfaction problems (QCSP), and satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) with quantifiers.
7 - 10 July 2019, Ninth Workshop on Combining Probability and Logic (PROGIC 2019), Frankfurt, Germany
The focus of this iteration of PROGIC is decision making, with an emphasis on advances in descriptive, normative, and prescriptive models of decision making.
Invited Speakers: Sebastian Ebert (Frankfurt School), Johanna Thoma (LSE), Peter Wakker (Erasmus) and Michael Waldmann (Goettingen).
7 - 13 July 2019, IVR Workshop "Judicial decision-making: integrating empirical and theoretical perspectives"
Over last decades, the empirical research on judicial decision-making has bloomed. However, the influence of these developments on traditional, conceptual theory of judicial decision-making has been mostly superficial. The impact of empirical findings on concepts such as judicial discretion, formalism, judicial rationality, legal interpretation, or rules vs. standards debate is yet to be determined. The aim of this interdisciplinary workshop is to combine perspectives of psychology, sociology, economics, criminology, neuroscience and other behavioral sciences, with the legal-theoretical approach to judicial decision-making.
Confirmed speakers: Jeffrey J. Rachlinski (Cornell), Frederick Schauer (Virginia).
1 - 15 July 2019, Spring Course in Epistemic Game Theory
Epistemic game theory is a new, fresh approach to game theory where the reasoning of people is at center stage. More precisely, it investigates how people like you and me reason in a game theoretic situation before they make a decision. Not only do we reason about the possible choices of others, but also about the reasoning of others. This type of reasoning will be our main theme of interest. The 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.

LCC meetings are aimed at the foundational interconnections between logic and computational complexity. LCC'19 will be collocated with ICALP 2019. The program will consist of invited lectures as well as contributed talks selected by the Program Committee.
8 July 2019, 2nd Workshop on Formal Verification of Physical Systems (FVPS 2019), Prague, Czech Republic
One of the main issues behind many failing systems is the ad-hoc verification approach that involves a variety of formalism and techniques for the modeling and analysis of various components of the present-age (cyber)-physical systems. The fundamental differences between these modeling and analysis techniques limit us to analyze the whole system as one unit and thus miss many corner cases, which arise due to the operation of all the sub-components of the system together. One of the major concerns is that, despite the above-mentioned evident limitation in the analysis methods, many safety-critical systems, such as aerospace, smart-transportation, smart-grid and e-health, are increasingly involving physical elements. Moreover, we are moving towards integrating more complex physical elements in our engineering systems. Finally, the impact of physical components is relevant to both the safety and security of the overall system.
The objective of the workshop is to gather scientists and engineers interested in formal verification techniques for the modeling, analysis, and verification of safety and security critical physical systems.

20 - 25 September 2019, Epistemic Extensions of Logic Programming (EELP 2019), Las Cruces NM, U.S.A.
Several successful logic programming languages have been proposed in the literature. Researchers have long recognized the need for epistemic operators in these languages. A central question is that of the definition of a rigorous and intuitive semantics for such epistemic operators, which is still subject of ongoing research. Notions of equivalence, structural properties, and the inter-relationships between logic programming languages and established logics are all subjects being actively investigated.
Another important topic is that of practical solvers to compute answers to logic programs that contain epistemic operators. Several solvers are actively developed, building on established solvers, or using rewriting-based approaches. For practical applications, additional language features are actively explored in order to be able to apply epistemic extensions of logic programming langauges to practical problems.
The goal of this workshop is to facilitate discussions regarding these topics and a productive exchange of ideas. The workshop is part of the International Conference of Logic Programming (ICLP) 2019.
We welcome two categories of submissions:
- Full Papers, that is, original, unpublished research (at most 15 pages), and - Extended Abstracts of already published research (at most 2 pages).

15 - 20 September 2019, 19th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling (OCL 2019), Munich, Germany
The goal of this workshop is to create a forum where researchers and practitioners interested in building models using OCL or other kinds of textual languages (e.g., OCL, textual MOF, Epsilon, or Alloy) can directly interact, report advances, share results, identify tools for language development, and discuss appropriate standards. In particular, the workshop will encourage discussions for achieving synergy from different modeling language concepts and modeling language use. The close interaction will enable researchers and practitioners to identify common interests and options for potential cooperation.
The workshop will be co-located with MODELS 2019 ACM/IEEE 22nd International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and System.
Four types of submissions will be considered:
* Presentation only submission (not included in the workshop proceedings), e.g., for already published work. Authors should submit a short (1 page) abstract of their presentation.
* Short papers (between 5 and 7 pages) describing new ideas or position papers.
* Tool papers (between 5 and 7 pages) describing tools supporting textual modeling tools
* Full papers (between 10 and 14 pages).
We particularly encourage submissions describing applications and case studies of textual modeling as well as test suites and benchmark collections for evaluating textual modeling tools.

23 - 26 September 2019, 8th Workshop on Dynamics of Knowledge and Belief (DKB-2019) and 7th Workshop KI & Kognition (KIK-2019): Formal and Cognitive Reasoning , Kassel, Germany
Information for real life AI applications is usually pervaded by uncertainty and subject to change, and thus demands for non-classical reasoning approaches. At the same time, psychological findings indicate that human reasoning cannot be completely described by classical logical systems. Sources of explanations are incomplete knowledge, incorrect beliefs, or inconsistencies. A wide range of reasoning mechanism has to be considered, such as analogical or defeasible reasoning. The field of knowledge representation and reasoning offers a rich palette of methods for uncertain reasoning both to describe human reasoning and to model AI approaches.
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 original papers on any of the workshop topics or related 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 and learning, addressing formal as well as experimental or heuristic issues.
11 - 12 October 2019, Defeasible Inference in Philosophy & AI, Los Angeles CA, U.S.A.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers from philosophy, computer science, and allied disciplines who work on non-monotonic logics and defeasible inference. The idea is to bring traditional philosophical reflections on these topics-- such as defeat in epistemology, prima facie duties in ethics, and belief revision in philosophy of science-- together with the rich tradition of non-monotonic logics in computer science and artificial intelligence, including default logic and logic programming.
This will be a 1.5 day workshop (half day Friday 11 October afternoon, full day Saturday 12 October), with approximately 30 participants, including 4 invited talks, 2-3 contributed talks, and a poster session.
Those interested in presenting a paper for a contributed talk should submit an anonymised draft of the paper, and those interested in presenting a poster should submit a short 2-6 page anonymised draft of the poster presentation, in PDF format via EasyChair.

22 - 26 July 2019, 2019 Hamburg Summer School on Truthmaker Semantics, Hamburg, Germany
The Phlox Research Group at Hamburg University is delighted to announce the 2019 Hamburg Summer School on Truthmaker Semantics. Truthmaker semantics is an approach to semantics that has attracted a growing amount of interest in recent years. It takes the content of a statement to be given in terms of the states that exactly verify it, wherethis is taken to require that the state-roughly, a part or fragment of a world=be wholly relevant to the truth of the statement.
In this course, after an introduction to the history, the motivations, and the basic framework of truthmaker semantics, we will survey its applications to (i) deontic and imperative logic, (ii) conditionals, (iii) partial content, (iv) intuitionistic and relevance logic, (v) Bayesian epistemology and the theory of rational belief revision, as well as (vi) natural language semantics (attitude reports, modals, and intensional definite descriptions). The Summer School will be taught by Kit Fine (NYU), Mark Jago (Nottingham), Johannes Korbmacher (Utrecht), Stephan Krämer (Hamburg), and Friederike Moltmann (Paris, NYU).

23 - 27 July 2019, Kurt Goedel's Legacy: Does Future lie in the Past?, Vienna, Austria
In 1949, Kurt Gödel showed that there exist solutions to Einstein's equations of general relativity allowing for closed timelike curves. The existence of such curves would allow time travel into one's own past leading to all kind of causality paradoxes. Today there is an ongoing debate on how physical such solutions are and whether general relativity would prevent the formation of regions where causality violation is possible. Closely related are Gödel's philosophical ideas on the existence of time, a subject that he intensively discussed with Einstein in Princetown. 'In my view Kurt Gödel's papers represent an important contribution to general relativity, especially his analysis of the concept of time.' said Einstein.
The Kurt Goedel Society intends to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Gödel's seminal publication and the 100th anniversary of the decisive experimental verification of general relativity by organizing a conference at the University of Vienna, Austria. This event will bring together the prominent researchers from the fields of Physics, Mathematics, Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence. The conference will be enhanced with a special exhibition about life and work of Kurt Gödel with emphasis on Gödel's solution.

29 - 31 July 2019, Truthmaker Semantics: Applications in Philosophy and Linguistics, Hamburg, Germany
Kit Fine and the Emmy Noether Project Relevance are delighted to announce a conference on truthmaker semantics and its applications in philosophy and linguistics.
Truthmaker semantics deviates from the familiar framework of possible world semantics, in that the notion of a possible world is replaced by a more general notion of a state that applies to any fragment of a world, and that a sentence is taken to be made true by a state only if every part of the state is involved in rendering the sentence true. A significant advantage of truthmaker semantics over the possible worlds approach is that it connects sentences with the worldly items that are directly relevant to their truth, thereby allowing important and intuitive hyperintensional distinctions to be drawn in a natural and formally elegant way. While the framework was originally developed as a semantics for relevant entailment by van Fraassen in the 1960s, recent developments have demonstrated its wide applicability in logic, metaphysics, philosophy and epistemology.
29 - 31 July 2019, 2nd Forcing Project Networking Conference (FPNC 2019): Set Theory, Bridging Maths & Philosophy, Konstanz, Germany
The project “Forcing: Conceptual Change in the Foundations of Mathematics” (2018-2023) aims to analyse the development of modern set theory since the introduction of the forcing technique both from a historical and philosophical point of view. It brings together methods and research questions from different research areas in the history and philosophy of mathematics to investigate if and how the extensive use of the forcing method brought about a conceptual change in set theory; and in which ways this may influence the philosophy of set theory and the foundations of mathematics.
The research group organises a series of Networking Conferences with the goal of reaching out to researchers from these different areas. The second instalment will be devoted to the topic of recent set theory as a bridge between mathematics and philosophy and focuses on the interaction between mathematical and philosophical arguments and views in set theory. Set theory has long been both a mathematical discipline and a program with foundational motivations. It seems that this dual character makes it a natural crossway between mathematics and philosophy, possibly more so than other mathematical disciplines.

29 - 31 July 2019, 2nd Forcing Project Networking Conference (FPNC 2019): Set Theory, Bridging Maths & Philosophy, Konstanz, Germany
The project “Forcing: Conceptual Change in the Foundations of Mathematics” (2018-2023) aims to analyse the development of modern set theory since the introduction of the forcing technique both from a historical and philosophical point of view. It brings together methods and research questions from different research areas in the history and philosophy of mathematics to investigate if and how the extensive use of the forcing method brought about a conceptual change in set theory; and in which ways this may influence the philosophy of set theory and the foundations of mathematics.
The research group organises a series of Networking Conferences with the goal of reaching out to researchers from these different areas. The second instalment will be devoted to the topic of recent set theory as a bridge between mathematics and philosophy and focuses on the interaction between mathematical and philosophical arguments and views in set theory. Set theory has long been both a mathematical discipline and a program with foundational motivations. It seems that this dual character makes it a natural crossway between mathematics and philosophy, possibly more so than other mathematical disciplines.
31 July - 2 August 2019, 8th Workshop on Philosophical Logic of the Buenos Aires Logic Group, Buenos Aires, Argentina
This is the eighth installment of a series of workshops organized by BA LOGIC, aiming to bring together researchers to discuss different topics in philosophical logic, mainly connected with semantic paradoxes, theories of truth, and non-classical logics.
