1-4 November 2007, 18th Novembertagug on History, Philosophy and Didactics of Mathematics, Bonn, Germany

Date: 1-4 November 2007
Location: Bonn, Germany
Deadline: 1 September 2007

The meeting aims at bringing together young researchers in the history, philosophy and didactics of mathematics or related fields from all over Europe, especially PhD students and PostDocs, to exchange their results and discuss work in progress. This year's theme, Mathematical practice & development throughout history, offers a wide scope for contributions, providing the opportunity of interaction between historians, philosophers, and researchers in the didactics of mathematics. It allows for a variety of conceptions of mathematics, and for a combination of different research methods used in history, philosophy and didactics.

Our invited guest speaker will be Leo Corry from the University of Tel Aviv.

The deadline for participant registration is September 1st. For more information, see http://www.novembertagung.uni-bonn.de/.

as well as for submission of contributed papers

17-19 December 2007, Sixteenth Amsterdam Colloquium 2007, Amsterdam

Date: 17-19 December 2007
Location: Amsterdam
Deadline: 1 September 2007

The Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together linguists, philosophers, logicians and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal study of the semantics and pragmatics of natural and formal languages. The spectrum of topics covered ranges from descriptive (syntactic and semantic analyses of all kinds of expressions) to theoretical (logical and computational properties of semantic theories, philosophical foundations, evolution and learning of language).

Deadline: 1 July 2007

AQIS'07 will focus on quantum information science and technology. This is a new interdisciplinary field that bridges quantum physics, computer science, mathematics, as well as computing technologies. AQIS'07 is the successor of the series EQIS'01-EQIS'05 and AQIS'06. Following tradition, AQIS'07 will consist of invited talks and selected oral communications and posters.

3-7 September 2007, Workshop on Logics for Resource-Bounded Agents (LRBA 2007), Durham, UK

Date: 3-7 September 2007
Location: Durham, UK
Deadline: 1 June 2007

Logics of knowledge and belief, as well as other attitudes such as desire or intention, have been extensively studied. However, most of the treatments of knowledge and belief make strong and idealised assumptions about the reasoners. For example, traditional epistemic logics say that agents know all logical consequences of their knowledge. Similarly, logics of action and strategic interaction are usually based on game theoretic models which assume perfect rationality. Models based on such assumptions can be used to describe ideal agents without bounds on resources such as time, memory, etc, but they fail to accurately describe non-ideal agents which are computationally bounded. The workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing possible solutions to the problem of formally capturing the properties of knowledge, belief, action, etc. of non-idealised resource-bounded agents.

5-7 September 2007, Combining Probability and Logic (PROGIC07), Canterbury, UK

Date: 5-7 September 2007
Location: Canterbury, UK
Deadline: 1 May 2007

There are a plethora of views as to the relationship between probability and logic and a panoply of proposals for combining the two. In particular, probabilistic logics offer formal combinations of probability and logic - often, however, at the expense of perspicuity and tractability. The question arises as to whether probabilistic networks might be used to render probabilistic logics more comprehensible and computationally feasible. In this workshop we aim to bring researchers from a variety of disciplines together to assess the prospects of applying probabilistic networks to probabilistic logics, and more generally to elucidate the relationship between probability and logic.

10 September 2007, Foundations of Artificial Intelligence, Osnabrück

Date: Monday 10 September 2007
Location: Osnabrück
Deadline: 8 June 2007

Within the course of the last 50 years, Artificial Intelligence has developed into a major field of research with a multitude of facets and application areas. While, in general, Artificial Intelligence research is driven by application needs, it is nevertheless a fact that foundational questions and theoretical insights have always been one of the driving forces behind its development. This includes the quest for realising intelligent behaviour in artificial systems as envisioned in the early days of AI research. But it also comprises biological inspirations e.g. for robot design, artificial neural networks, or emergent intelligence, as well as logical underpinnings of automated deduc-tion and knowledge representation.

Indeed, formal and foundational aspects of artificial intelligence are being studied in many sub areas in order to serve application needs. It lies in the nature of such fundamental research that a critical mass of different formal perspectives can generate a cross-fertilization of ideas and applications. We therefore intend to bring together researchers working on foundational aspects of Artificial Intelligence across different communities, in order to stimulate an exchange of ideas and methods between them.

Winter/Summer School 2007/08 at the "Center for Junior Research Fellows" in Konstanz (Germany), Konstanz, Germany

Location: Konstanz, Germany
Deadline: 15 September 2007

The Center for Junior Research Fellows (ZWN) at the University of Konstanz sponsors a winter school program at the University of Konstanz every year. The program is targeted at postdoctoral scholars who do not hold a tenured position. Running a winter/summer school offers young researchers the opportunity to popularize their own research fields and ideas, to intensive discuss their research topic with experts in their field in a calm, inspiring environment and beyond time pressure. Moreover,

According to the multidisciplinary character of the ZWN, postdoctoral scholars of all research disciplines may apply. Alternating every other year, the program is open to members of the University of Konstanz only and to external applicants. For the winter 2007/2008 the ZWN announces the financing of a winter/summer school up to EUR 14,000. Young scholars both with and without German residency are invited to apply by 15 September 2007.

18 September 2007, ICS-SIKS Symposium on Artificial Normative Systems

Date & Time: Tuesday 18 September 2007, 10:00-17:00
Location: Utrecht, Universiteitsbibliotheek, Heidelberglaan 3, De Uithof

On the one hand, computer science is now aiming at the development of more and more complex and autonomous computer systems which call for forms of meta-systems with regulating and controlling functions. On the other hand, philosophical disciplines are now trying to systematically address key notions in the understanding of social agency, e.g., "norm", "intention", "obligation".

Aim of the symposium is to bring together leading researchers from computer-science and philosophy in order to exchange points of view and stimulate scientific cooperation on the issue of normative systems. Speakers include Johan van Benthem, Christiano Castelfranchi Davide Grossi John Horty and Marek Sergot

Participation is free and includes lunch and coffee and tea breaks. However, advance registration is required. Please register before September 11 by sending an email to or . For more information, see http://people.cs.uu.nl/davide/ANS/home.htm

28 September 2007, Games in Logic, Language and Computation (GLLC 14½)

Date: Friday 28 September 2007
Location: Euclides Building, Plantage Muidergracht 24, Amsterdam, P3.27

Games are an important tool in set theory and model theory. This GLLC meeting (the 14th in the GLLC series) will focus on the current work of students from Amsterdam and Helsinki dealing with aspects of games in set theory and model theory. It is also to be seen as an encounter between Dutch and Finnish culture in mathematical logic and a great opportunity to learn about each others' research plans, goals, techniques and questions.

Speakers include Ioanna Dimitriou, Tapio Eerola, Jokke Hasa, Daisuke Ikegami, Lauri Keskinen, Yurii Khomskii, Vadim Kulikov, Brian Semmes, Laura Sutinen and Lauri Tuomi.
