28 September - 1 October 2015, 15th International Conference on Relational and Algebraic Methods in Computer Science (RAMiCS 2015), Braga, Portugal

Date: 28 September - 1 October 2015
Location: Braga, Portugal
Deadline: 1 April 2015

Since 1994, the RelMiCS meetings on Relational Methods in Computer Science have been a main forum for researchers who use the calculus of relations and similar algebraic formalisms as methodological and conceptual tools. The AKA workshop series on Applications of Kleene algebra started with a Dagstuhl seminar in 2001 and was co-organised with the RelMiCS conference until 2009. Since 2011, joint RAMiCS conferences continue to encompass the scope of both RelMiCS and AKA.

17-19 October 2015, Jin Yuelin Conference on Dao, Logic and Epistemology, Zheng Yu-Tong Lecture Hall, New Science Building, Tsinghua University

Date: 17-19 October 2015
Location: Zheng Yu-Tong Lecture Hall, New Science Building, Tsinghua University

Jin Yuelin (1895—1984) was a pioneering philosopher and logician in China. After his study at Columbia University in the United States, he established the department of philosophy at Tsinghua University in 1926, where he started teaching modern logic for the first time, while engaged in deep encounters between modern and Chinese philosophy. Jun Yuelin's personality and ideas have had a continuing impact on logicians and philosophers in China right until today. In the spirit of Jin Yuelin's intellectual program, this international conference is held at Tsinghua University, exploring recent research into the many directions in his work and beyond. As our guiding theme, we will explore the current state of encounters between philosophy and logic. The conference will bring together Chinese and international scholars, both senior and junior.

20-21 October 2015, Tsinghua Logic Colloquium on Information Flow in a Social World, Rm 324, Main Building, Tsinghua University

Date: 20-21 October 2015
Location: Rm 324, Main Building, Tsinghua University

The workshop will bring together the scholars who are either involved in the joint project “The Logical Dynamics of Information Exchange in Social Networks” (funded by the KNAW), or whose research is closely related to it. We aim to create a platform for researchers to exchange ideas and strengthen further collaboration.

With the KNAW project, the main research problem we want to investigate is the understanding of information flow and group belief dynamics in social networks. We intend to: (1) develop formal models and logics for the study of social-informational dynamics, (2) develop appropriate software for the computational analysis of this dynamics, (3) extract practical lessons about the opportunities and dangers posed by social networks, and (4) use these results as a source of philosophical reflection on the nature of social knowledge and the epistemological significance of corporate agents. The proposed methodology is to use extensions of Dynamic Epistemic Logic, in combination with probabilistic methods.

26-30 October 2015, 18th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA 2015), Bertinoro, Italy

Date: 26-30 October 2015
Location: Bertinoro, Italy
Deadline: 17 June 2015

Agent-based Computing addresses the challenges in managing distributed computing systems and networks through monitoring, communication, consensus-based decision-making and coordinated actuation. As a result, intelligent agents and multi-agent systems have demonstrated the capability to use intelligence, knowledge representation and reasoning, and other social metaphors like 'trust', 'game' and 'institution', not only to address real-world problems in a human-like way but also to transcend human performance. This has had a transformative impact in many application domains, particularly in e-commerce, and also in planning, logistics, manufacturing, robotics, decision support, transportation, entertainment, emergency relief & disaster management, and data mining & analytics.
