30 August - 2 September 2021, 37th Conference on Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics (MFPS XXXVII / MFPS 2021), Virtual and/or Salzburg (Austria)

Date: 30 August - 2 September 2021
Location: Virtual and/or Salzburg (Austria)
Deadline: Monday 7 June 2021

MFPS conferences are dedicated to the areas of mathematics, logic, and computer science that are related to models of computation in general, and to semantics of programming languages in particular. This is a forum where researchers in mathematics and computer science can meet and exchange ideas. The participation of researchers in neighbouring areas is strongly encouraged.

MFPS 2021 is co-located with the 9th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2021). Due to the pandemic situation, the conference will take place online. Should the situation improve and allow some international travel, we will do our best to organize a small component of the meeting in Salzburg for those participants who wish to attend the meeting in person.

31 August - 3 September 2021, 9th International Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2021), Virtual and/or Salzburg (Austria)

Date: 31 August - 3 September 2021
Location: Virtual and/or Salzburg (Austria)
Deadline: Thursday 3 June 2021

CALCO is a high-level, bi-annual conference formed by joining the forces and reputations of CMCS (the International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science) and WADT (the Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques). It aims to bring together researchers with interests in both foundational and applicative uses of algebra and coalgebra in computer science, traditional as well as emerging ones. The 9th edition will be held in Salzburg, Austria, colocated with MFPS XXXVII.

1 - 3 September 2021, Third Biennial Conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK2021), Zaragoza (Spain) and virtual

Date: 1 - 3 September 2021
Location: Zaragoza (Spain) and virtual
Deadline: Sunday 21 March 2021

This conference aims at bringing together researchers from across disciplines concerned with the acquisition, curation and use of language data in the context of data science and knowledge-based applications. This builds upon the success of the inaugural event held in Galway, Ireland in 2017 and the second LDK in Leipzig, Germany in 2019.

In order to allow more people to attend the Conference physically, and due to the current state in the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, we decided to postpone LDK 2021 to early September. The conference will allow remote presentations by participants who cannot attend the conference in person owing to COVID-19 travelling restrictions, but we do think that physical encounter and gossip leads to better research.

8 - 9 September 2021, Seventh International Workshop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL 2020)

Date: 8 - 9 September 2021
Location: Amsterdam, the Netherlands & Online
Target audience: researchers and practitioners
Costs: €200 (small changes are possible)
Deadline: Saturday 2 May 2020

This workshop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL) has a broad scope and embraces all approaches that are based on natural language and apply restrictions on vocabulary, grammar, and/or semantics. This includes (but is certainly not limited to) approaches that have been called simplified language, plain language, formalized language, processable language, fragments of language, phraseologies, conceptual authoring, language generation, and guided natural language interfaces.

Some CNLs are designed to improve communication among humans, especially for non-native speakers of the respective natural language. In other cases, the restrictions on the language are supposed to make it easier for computers to analyze such texts in order to improve computer-aided, semi-automatic, or automatic translations into other languages. A third group of CNL has the goal to enable reliable automated reasoning and formal knowledge representation from seemingly natural texts. All these types of CNL are covered by this workshop.

Due to Covid-19, the workshop is postponed to 2021!

8 - 10 September 2021, The 9th International Symposium on Symbolic Computation in Software Science (SCSS 2021), Virtual

Date: 8 - 10 September 2021
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Tuesday 18 May 2021

Symbolic Computation is the science of computing with symbolic objects (terms, formulae, programs, representations of algebraic objects etc.). Powerful algorithms have been developed during the past decades for the major subareas of symbolic computation: computer algebra and computational logic. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence methods and machine learning algorithms are widely used nowadays in various domains and, in particular, combined with symbolic computation. Several approaches mix artificial intelligence and symbolic methods and tools deployed over large corpora to create what is known as cognitive systems. Cognitive computing focuses on building systems which interact with humans naturally by reasoning, aiming at learning at scale.

The purpose of SCSS 2021 is to promote research on theoretical and practical aspects of symbolic computation in software science, combined with modern artificial intelligence techniques.

8 - 10 September 2021, The 17th Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2020) , Virtual

Date: 8 - 10 September 2021
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Wednesday 25 August 2021

The purpose of the Reasoning Web Summer School is to disseminate recent advances on reasoning techniques and related issues that are of particular interest to Semantic Web and Linked Data applications. It is primarily intended for postgraduate (PhD or MSc) students, postdocs, young researchers, and senior researchers wishing to deepen their knowledge. As in the previous years, lectures in the summer school will be given by a distinguished group of expert lecturers carefully selected to cover a wide range of topics relevant to the school (see below).

The summer school is part of Declarative AI 2021 and is co-located with RuleML+RR 2021 and DecisionCAMP 2021. The students attending the RW school are particularly encouraged to also apply to the Doctoral Consortium of RuleML+RR. The number of attendees will be limited and participation will depend on submitting an application which will undergo a reviewing process.

8 - 9 September 2021, Seventh International Workshop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL 2020)

Date: 8 - 9 September 2021
Location: Amsterdam, the Netherlands & Online
Target audience: researchers and practitioners
Costs: €200 (small changes are possible)
Deadline: Saturday 2 May 2020

This workshop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL) has a broad scope and embraces all approaches that are based on natural language and apply restrictions on vocabulary, grammar, and/or semantics. This includes (but is certainly not limited to) approaches that have been called simplified language, plain language, formalized language, processable language, fragments of language, phraseologies, conceptual authoring, language generation, and guided natural language interfaces.

Some CNLs are designed to improve communication among humans, especially for non-native speakers of the respective natural language. In other cases, the restrictions on the language are supposed to make it easier for computers to analyze such texts in order to improve computer-aided, semi-automatic, or automatic translations into other languages. A third group of CNL has the goal to enable reliable automated reasoning and formal knowledge representation from seemingly natural texts. All these types of CNL are covered by this workshop.

Due to Covid-19, the workshop is postponed to 2021!

8 - 10 September 2021, The 9th International Symposium on Symbolic Computation in Software Science (SCSS 2021), Virtual

Date: 8 - 10 September 2021
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Tuesday 18 May 2021

Symbolic Computation is the science of computing with symbolic objects (terms, formulae, programs, representations of algebraic objects etc.). Powerful algorithms have been developed during the past decades for the major subareas of symbolic computation: computer algebra and computational logic. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence methods and machine learning algorithms are widely used nowadays in various domains and, in particular, combined with symbolic computation. Several approaches mix artificial intelligence and symbolic methods and tools deployed over large corpora to create what is known as cognitive systems. Cognitive computing focuses on building systems which interact with humans naturally by reasoning, aiming at learning at scale.

The purpose of SCSS 2021 is to promote research on theoretical and practical aspects of symbolic computation in software science, combined with modern artificial intelligence techniques.

6 - 8 December 2021, Trends in Logic XXI "Frontiers of connexive logic", Bochum, Germany

Date: 6 - 8 December 2021
Location: Bochum, Germany
Deadline: Tuesday 14 September 2021

The 21st Trends in Logic international conference will be held at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, from December 6-December 8, 2021 under the title 'Frontiers of connexive logic'. It is organized by the chairs of Logic and Epistemology and Nonclassical Logic at the Department of Philosophy I of Ruhr University Bochum, in co-operation with Studia Logica.

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, after six annual workshops, the Trends in Logic XXI aims at discussing directions for future research in connexive logics.

Any papers related to connexive logics are welcome. Moreover, we will have a special session on contra-classical logics, and thus any papers related to contra-classical logics are welcome. Submissions of extended abstracts (up to three pages) should be submitted electronically as pdf documents using the EasyChair submission page. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for, and attend, the conference to present their work. Full versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of Studia Logica after an open call for papers.

23 - 26 November 2021, 3rd international conference on Non-classical Modal and Predicate Logics (NCMPL 2021), Bochum, Germany (Hybrid)

Date: 23 - 26 November 2021
Location: Bochum, Germany (Hybrid)
Deadline: Wednesday 15 September 2021

Modalities and predicates have since ancient time been central notions of logic. In the 20th century, various systems of non-classical logics have emerged, with applications in many disciplines like Computer Science, Linguistics, Mathematics, and Philosophy. This gave rise to the questions of a non-classical treatment of quantifiers and modalities and the accommodation of quantifiers and modalities in non-classical logics. In response, various modal and predicate variants of non-classical logics have been introduced and studied in the past decades.

NCMPL is a conference series solely dedicated to modal and predicate non-classical logics. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from various branches of non-classical logics, not only to present recent advances in their particular fields, but also to identify common problems and methods and foster the exchange of ideas between researchers from separate fields.

Papers are sollicited. The scope includes theoretical works on the conference topics coming from all branches of formal logic (proof-theory, model theory, game theory, computational complexity, philosophical and historical aspects), as well as their applications in computer science, linguistics, philosophy, etc. Strong papers on propositional logics can also be accepted, provided they relate to the themes in the main scope of the conference (e.g., the study of completions in algebraic semantics, infinitary logics, etc.). Full versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of an international peer-reviewed journal (to be specified).

4 November 2021, Second Workshop on Second-Order Quantifier Elimination and Related Topics (SOQE 2021), Virtual

Date & Time: Thursday 4 November 2021, 10:00-18:30
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Thursday 16 September 2021

Second-order quantifier elimination (SOQE) is the problem of equivalently reducing a formula with quantifiers upon second-order objects such as predicates to a formula in which these quantified second-order objects no longer occur. In slight variations, SOQE is known as forgetting, projection, predicate elimination, and uniform interpolation. It can be combined with various underlying logics, including propositional, model, description and first-order logics. It is attractive as a logic-based approach to various computational tasks.

The workshop aims to bring together researchers working on SOQE and all these related topics to present, discuss and compare issues shared by problems emerging from different special contexts, interesting open research problems (perhaps with partial solutions), new applications and implementation techniques. SOQE will be associated with the 18th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2021).

We invite submissions of high-quality research on variants of SOQE and related topics, including work that describes applications, new systems or relevant data releases. Submissions will be reviewed by the program committee, which will select a balanced program of high-quality contributions.

Submissions can be one of the following type:
Regular paper: up to 11 pages + bibliography Short paper: up to 5 pages + bibliography
Both regular and short papers should be written in English, formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

Date & Time: Friday 17 September 2021, 09:45-13:30
Location: Bolzano (Italy) & Virtual
Deadline: Saturday 3 July 2021

The purpose of the workshop is to bridge the gap between the cognitive sciences and research on ontologies and, thus, to create a venue for researchers interested in interdisciplinary aspects of knowledge representation. More specifically CAOS investigates how key cognitive phenomena and concepts (and the involved terminology) can be found across language, psychology and reasoning and how they can be formally and ontologically understood and analysed. It moreover seeks answers to ways such formalisations and ontological analysis can be exploited in Artificial Intelligence and information systems in general.

CAOS 2021 is going to happen at the Bolzano Summer of Knowledge, BOSK 2021, in September 2021, organised as a FOIS 2021 workshop.  CAOS 2021 is planned as a hybrid event.

Date: 20 - 27 September 2021
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Sunday 1 August 2021

Probabilistic logic programming (PLP) approaches have received much attention in this century. They address the need to reason about relational domains under uncertainty arising in a variety of application domains, such as bioinformatics, the semantic web, robotics, and many more. Developments in PLP include new languages that combine logic programming with probability theory, as well as algorithms that operate over programs in these formalisms.

The workshop encompasses all aspects of combining logic, algorithms, programming and probability and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, presentation of results and preliminary work. After seven successful editions of this workshop, the eighth edition of PLP will be held at the ICLP virtual conference organised by the University of Porto. We hope that this encourages further collaboration between researchers in PLP and researchers working in other areas of ICLP.

20 - 27 September 2021, The 8th Workshop on Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP 2021), Virtual

Date: 20 - 27 September 2021
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Sunday 1 August 2021

Probabilistic logic programming (PLP) approaches have received much attention in this century. They address the need to reason about relational domains under uncertainty arising in a variety of application domains, such as bioinformatics, the semantic web, robotics, and many more. Developments in PLP include new languages that combine logic programming with probability theory, as well as algorithms that operate over programs in these formalisms.

The workshop encompasses all aspects of combining logic, algorithms, programming and probability and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, presentation of results and preliminary work. After seven successful editions of this workshop, the eighth edition of PLP will be held at the ICLP virtual conference organised by the University of Porto. We hope that this encourages further collaboration between researchers in PLP and researchers working in other areas of ICLP.

It is often said, that all of mathematics can be reduced to first-order logic and set theory. The derivation indicator view says that all proofs stand in some relation to a derivation, i.e. a mechanically checkable syntactical objects following fixed rules, that would not have any gaps. For a long time this was a mere hope. There may have been proofs of concepts from early logicists but derivation never played a big role in mathematical practice. The modern computer might change this. Interactive and automated theorem provers promise to make the construction of a justification without any gaps feasible for complex mathematics. This minisymposium brings together philosophers, educators and linguist to study both proofs as they can be found in real textbook as well as in the logical sense, i.e. derivations.

This is an affiliated minisymposium to the DMV and ÖMG-annual meeting.

28 - 30 September 2021, 12th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams (Diagrams 2021), Virtual

Date: 28 - 30 September 2021
Location: Virtual
Deadline: Thursday 1 April 2021

Diagrams 2021 is the twelth conference in the series that started in 2000. The multidisciplinary nature of Diagrams means it encompasses: architecture, art, artificial intelligence, biology, cartography, cognitive science, computer science, education, graphic design, history of science, human-computer interaction, linguistics, logic, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, and software modelling. The conference attracts a large number of researchers from these interrelated fields, positioning Diagrams as the major international event in the area.

In addition to the Philosophy track, Diagrams 2021 will have two further tracks: Main, and Psychology and Education.

28 - 30 September 2021, Minisymposium "Large cardinals", Virtual (Passau, Austria)

Date: 28 - 30 September 2021
Location: Virtual (Passau, Austria)

This minisymposium will be devoted to recent developments in the theory of large cardinals, a central concept of contemporary set theory that allows the measurement of the consistency strength of mathematical theories and the ordering of these theories into a canonical hierarchy. Seminal results show that large cardinal assumptions themselves answer many important questions left open by the standard axiomatization of set theory and this leads many set theorists to think that these axioms should be included in the correct axiomatization of mathematics. In the last fifty years, set theorists have developed a deep and canonical theory of large cardinals and, in recent years, breakthrough results in vastly different regions of the large cardinal hierarchy were obtained. The talks in our symposium will cover this wide spectrum of research, from virtual large cardinal axioms in the lower reaches of this hierarchy all the way up to axioms of infinity that contradict the Axiom of Choice.

29 - 30 September 2021, Workshop "New Work on Induction & Abduction", Virtual

Date: 29 - 30 September 2021
Location: Virtual

This workshop aims at bringing together scholars from the field of inductive and abductive reasoning. It will focus on discussing the following four recent monographs: Igor Douven's "The theory and Practice of Abduction" (forthcoming), Ilkka Niiniluotto's "Truth-Seeking by Abduction" (2018), John Norton's "The Material Theory of Induction" (2021), and Gerhard Schurz' "Hume's Problem Solved" (2019). Each of these monographs will be discussed in form of a comprehensive comment as well as replies and reflections by the authors. The workshop will also host specialist talks from leading scholars in this field of research.

CfP Special Issue of Annals of Pure and Applied Logic (APAL) on “Combining Probability and Logic”

Deadline: Thursday 30 September 2021

We invite submissions for a Special Issue on “Combining Probability and Logic”, to be published with Annals of Pure and Applied Logic.

Classically, logic and probability offer competing representations of partial or incomplete information, with the former assuming a qualitative perspective on uncertainty and the latter focusing on a quantitative account. Both provide their own policies for updating on new information, combining evidence from different sources, and acting under partial information.

We solicit submissions of original papers that bridge these two perspectives. These could, for instance, connect representations of inductive reasoning in either setting, but they may also apply to specific sub-areas, such as game theory, network theory, causal modelling, machine learning, or maximum entropy reasoning. Likewise, the Special Issue is interested in articles that apply probabilistic tools to the study of logical systems or that use logical frameworks, classical or substructural, for understanding probabilistic approaches.
