21-29 June 2014, Sixth North American Summer School for Logic, Language, and Information (NASSLLI 2014), University of Maryland, U.S.A.
The 6th North American Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (NASSLLI 2014), a bi-annual summer school loosely modeled on the long-running ESSLLI series in Europe, will be held at the University of Maryland, College Park, June 23 - 27, 2014. In addition, we will run three intensive introductory courses ("bootcamps") on Saturday and Sunday, June 21-22. Additional events will be held during the weekend following the summer school, June 28-29.
The summer school will consist of 18 courses, scheduled in five parallel sessions throughout the week. Courses will meet for 90 minutes on each of five days. The instructors are prominent researchers who volunteer their time and energy to present work in their disciplines. NASSLLI courses are aimed at graduate students and advanced undergraduates in any of the fields represented at the summer school, but will also be of interest to post-docs and researchers in those fields. Courses are designed with an interdisciplinary audience in mind, by instructors who enjoy addressing students and colleagues from a wide range of disciplines.
For more information including the full program, see http://www.nasslli2014.com/.
Proposals are invited for courses or workshops 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. The deadline for proposals is September 1, 2013.
18-20 December 2013, Amsterdam Colloquium 2013, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
The Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together linguists, philosophers, logicians, cognitive scientists and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal study of the semantics and pragmatics of natural and formal languages.
The 2013 edition will be held at the University of Amsterdam on 18-20 December and will be collocated with the 17th SemDial workshop (DialDam).
The 19th Amsterdam Colloquium will feature two workshops on Quantitative Data and on Modals; a special session on the Semantics and Pragmatics of Dialogue, jointly organized with the SemDial Workshop; and one evening lecture, jointly organized with the E.W. Beth Foundation.
For more information, see https://www.illc.uva.nl/AC/AC2013/
The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Submission deadline is September 1, 2013.
13-17 February 2014, 5th World Congress of Paraconsistent Logic (WCP5), Kolkata, India
This is the 5th world congress on paraconsistent logic, gathering top researchers from all over the world.
All aspects of paraconsistency are under examination: studies of various systems of paraconsistent logic, general tools and frameworks for these systems, philosophical discussion and historical investigations as well as challenging applications. The WCP5 is emphasizing an interdisciplinary perspective ranging from mathematics to arts, through computer science, artificial intelligence, philosophy and linguistics.
For more information, see http://www.paraconsistency.org/wcp5.html
All talks related to paraconsistent logic are welcome. Artistic works related to paraconsistency are also welcome. The deadline for submission is September 1st, 2013.
20-23 February 2014, Functions, proofs, constructions, Tuebingen, Germany
The apparent dichotomy between proofs as constituted by inferential steps, and proofs as abstract 'unstructured' entities reflects the duality of the notion of function itself. Should functions be viewed as procedures - piecewise constituted by instructions - or are functions sorts of black boxes to be identified by what they do - giving a value for each input - rather than by how they do it? Are functions primarily given as the denotation of linguistic predicates (in a Fregean manner), or are they rather an already given domain which we disclose through language?
For more information and a full programme please visit http://ls.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/FPC/.
We invite philosophers, historians as well as mathematician and
computer scientists willing to take part to the workshop to submit the
extended abstract
(max 2 pages) of a talk suitable for a 45 minutes to 1 hour presentation. Submission Deadline: September 1, 2013.

2-3 September 2013, Workshop: Thought Experiments, Counterfactuals and Modal Knowledge, Berlin, Germany
In philosophy, claims of knowledge are often based on considering non-actual scenarios. But it is not so clear what explains and justifies such practices. Opposing the traditional view that the knowledge at stake is conceptual or based on rational intuitions, Timothy Williamson has come up with a revolutionary proposal: both modal claims and thought experiments can be accounted for in terms of our capacity for evaluating everyday counterfactuals. No wonder this innovative proposal sparked intense debate.
To mention just two critical points: First, one might wonder whether our ability to evaluate the relevant counterfactuals depends upon prior knowledge of metaphysical necessity or essentiality. If so, the account runs the risk of being circular. Second, Williamson's account of thought experiments is designed to address the problem that any case description could be realised in a deviant way. One might suspect that Williamson?s own counterfactual account falls prey to the same difficulty. The workshop aims at promoting the critical discussion of the counterfactual account of both modal knowledge and thought experiments.

9-13 September 2013, Workshop on Modelling Meets Infant Studies in Language Acquisition
The study of first language acquisition is crucial in furthering our understanding of the cognitive prerequisites and processes involved in language, a defining capacity of human cognition. Currently, early language acquisition is successfully studied from two main perspectives: one approach tests theoretical assumptions by studying infants' responses with behavioural and neurocognitive methods; the other implements theories by means of computational models. This workshop aims to bring these two approaches closer together, a much needed advance in the field and one that promises to deepen our understanding of the issues that play a role during language acquisition.

9-13 September 2013, Workshop on Modelling Meets Infant Studies in Language Acquisition
The study of first language acquisition is crucial in furthering our understanding of the cognitive prerequisites and processes involved in language, a defining capacity of human cognition. Currently, early language acquisition is successfully studied from two main perspectives: one approach tests theoretical assumptions by studying infants' responses with behavioural and neurocognitive methods; the other implements theories by means of computational models. This workshop aims to bring these two approaches closer together, a much needed advance in the field and one that promises to deepen our understanding of the issues that play a role during language acquisition.

16 September 2013, Workshop on Logics for Resources, Processes and Programmes (LRPP 2013), Nancy, France
A one day workshop on `Logics for Resources, Processes, and Programs' will be held the 16th September 2013 in conjunction with the Tableaux Conference in Nancy, France, with D. Galmiche and D. Pym as co-chairs.
The purpose of this workshop would be to discuss recent results on logics, including systems formulated in the style of Hoare and Hennessy-Milner, for modelling resources, processes, programs, and their interactions. We envisage a range of perspectives: proof-theoretic foundations, including decidability and complexity; semantic foundations (e.g., new resource semantics); specification of properties and behaviours; verification and analysis of programs and systems. It should help to establish and publicize a research agenda for such logics and their use in the development of trusted systems.
The workshop is intended to provide a forum for discussion between researchers interested in logics of resources (from foundations to related calculi and applications) and researchers interested in languages and methods for specification of mobile, distributed, concurrent systems and their verification.
Additional information will be available through WWW address: http://www.loria.fr/~galmiche/LRPP2013.html.
16-17 September 2013, Computational Logic in Multi-Agent Systems (CLIMA XIV), Corunna, Spain

The workshop "Philosophical Perspectives on Mathematical Knowledge" is organized by the Institute Vienna Circle (Wissenschaftsphilosophisches Kolloquium) and the WU, Vienna University of Economics (philosophy division).
Keynote speaker is Dieter Schott (Wismar), who will speak on friday on "Mathematics - A Philosophical Discourse", followed by the actual workshop on saturday.
The organizers invite everybody interested in participating on Saturday but would ask for registration by sending an email to gabriele.mras at wu.ac.at or stefan.riegelnik at philos.uzh.ch. For the program in detail see: https://www.wu.ac.at/geschichte/philo/conwandl
20-23 September 2013, History and Philosophy of Infinity (FotFS VIII), Cambridge, England
The concept of infinity has fascinated philosophers and mathematicians for many centuries: e.g., the distinction between the potential and actual infinite appears in Aristotle's Physics (in his treatment of the paradoxes of Zeno) and the notion was implied in the attempts to sharpen the method of approximation (starting as early as Archimedes and running through the middle ages and into the nineteenth century). Modern mathematics opened the doors to the wealth of the realm of the infinities by means of the set-theoretic foundations of mathematics.
Any philosophical interaction with concepts of infinite must have at least two aspects: first, an inclusive examination of the various branches and applications, across the various periods; but second, it must proceed in the critical light of mathematical results, including results from meta-mathematics. The conference History & Philosophy of Infinity will emphasize philosophical, empirical and historical approaches.

3 December 2013, 16th Workshop on Coordination, Organisations, Institutions and Norms (COIN 2013), Dunedin, New Zealand
The pervasiveness of open systems raises a range of challenges and opportunities for technologies in the area of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems and in their contribution to human and artificial societies. Open systems comprise loosely-coupled entities interacting within a society, often with some overall measures of quality or efficiency. However, achieving and maintaining a 'good' society, such as through establishing and enforcing societial norms and policies, is difficult to achieve. There remains a need for tools and techniques for articulating or regulating interactions in order to make the system more effective in attaining collective goals, more certain for participants, or more predictable.
Coordination, organizations, institutions, and norms are four key governance elements for the regulation of open multi-agent systems, and the COIN workshops constitute a space for debate and exploration of these four elements that are central in the design and use of open systems. COIN@PRIMA'13 features a special track on agent-based modelling for policy engineering (AMPLE) in societies.
For more information, see http://coin2013-prima.tudelft.nl/
We seek to attract high-quality papers addressing mathematical, logical, computational, philosophical, and pragmatic issues related to the four aspects of COIN, and, further, papers taking up the challenges of complex societal systems. We invite the submission of short papers up to 6 pages and long papers up to 16 pages. Submission deadline: 23 September 2013
20-23 September 2013, History and Philosophy of Infinity (FotFS VIII), Cambridge, England
The concept of infinity has fascinated philosophers and mathematicians for many centuries: e.g., the distinction between the potential and actual infinite appears in Aristotle's Physics (in his treatment of the paradoxes of Zeno) and the notion was implied in the attempts to sharpen the method of approximation (starting as early as Archimedes and running through the middle ages and into the nineteenth century). Modern mathematics opened the doors to the wealth of the realm of the infinities by means of the set-theoretic foundations of mathematics.
Any philosophical interaction with concepts of infinite must have at least two aspects: first, an inclusive examination of the various branches and applications, across the various periods; but second, it must proceed in the critical light of mathematical results, including results from meta-mathematics. The conference History & Philosophy of Infinity will emphasize philosophical, empirical and historical approaches.

1 November 2013, Nieuw Amsterdams Peil-day 2013 (NAP dag), University of Amsterdam
Each fall, the ACLC organizes the Nieuw Amsterdams Peil-day, commonly abbreviated to "the NAP-dag". This is a day on which PhD candidates from the ACLC and ILLC involved in linguistic research can present their work. The 2013 "NAP-dag" will be on Friday, November 1.
For more information, see http://aclc.uva.nl/news-and-events/events/events/events/content/folder/symposia/ or contact napdag.aclc at gmail.com.
If you're an advanced PhD candidate, you may contribute to the NAP-dag by submitting an abstract for an oral presentation (20 minutes + 10 minute discussion). Relatively new PhD candidates are asked to introduce themselves and their projects in our short "meet the new PhDers" segment (5 minutes + 2 questions from the audience).
PhD candidates usually present their work at the NAP-dag twice during the span of their projects. So if you have not presented yet or if you have presented only once, grab your chance!
Abstract should not exceed one A4 page (excluding example sentences, figures and bibliography). Relatively new PhD candidates will be contacted by the organizing committee. All presentations are required to be given in English.
Please send your abstract to: napdag.aclc at gmail.com. The deadline for submission is Friday September 27, 2013. We will notify you of the acceptance of your abstract on October 4.
