Date: 6 - 11 April 2022
Location: Crete, Greece
Target audience: Logicians (computational, philosophical, mathematical)
Costs: See Unilog web site
Deadline: Saturday 9 October 2021

Hybrid logic is a branch of modal logic in which it is possible to directly refer to worlds/times/states or whatever the elements of the (Kripke) model are meant to represent.

Hybrid logic is now a mature field with significant impact on a range of other fields, including
- applied modal logics,
- temporal logic,
- labelled deduction,
- philosophy of time, and
- social reasoning.

The scope of the workshop is not only standard hybrid-logical machinery like nominals, satisfaction operators, and the downarrow binder, but generally extensions of modal logic that increase its expressive power.

The duration of the workshop is a half day or one day and it will take place at some point during the UNILOG congress, April 6-11, 2022.

We welcome contributions to the the theory and applications of hybrid logic. To submit a contribution, send a one-page abstract to both organizers of the workshop. Please write "HyLo submission" in the subject field. Depending on the quality of the abstracts, there might be a follow-up special issue of a journal, with a separate refereeing round.

Date: 2 - 7 April 2022
Location: Munich, Germany (Hybrid)
Deadline: Thursday 14 October 2021

ETAPS is the primary European forum for academic and industrial researchers working on topics relating to software science. ETAPS, established in 1998, is a confederation of four annual conferences, accompanied by satellite workshops:

  • ESOP: European Symposium on Programming
  • FASE: Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering
  • FoSSaCS: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures
  • TACAS: Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems

A number of satellite workshops and other events will take place before the main conferences. In particular, there will be a PhD student mentoring workshop organized by Caterina Urban, Wolfgang Ahrendt and Gidon Ernst. TACAS '22 will host the 11th Competition on Software Verification (SV-COMP).

The four main conferences of ETAPS 2022 solicit contributions of the following types: ESOP: regular research papers of max 25 pp; FASE: regular research papers and empirical evaluation papers of max 18 pp, new ideas and emerging results (NIER) papers of max 8 pp, tool demonstration papers of max 6 pp (+ mandatory appendix of max 6 pp); FoSSaCS: regular research papers of max 18 pp; TACAS: regular research papers, case study papers and regular tool papers of max 16 pp, tool demonstration papers of max 6 pp. All page limits are given excluding the bibliography.

15 October 2021, Compositionality in the domain of tense, mood and aspect, Amsterdam (the Netherlands)

Date & Time: Friday 15 October 2021, 13:30-17:00
Location: Paushuize, Kromme Nieuwegracht 49, Utrecht, the Netherlands (in the centre of Utrecht, 100 meters away from the Academy Building)

In October this year Cambridge University Press will publish The Compositional Nature of Tense, Mood and Aspect, written by Henk Verkuyl (UiLOTS, Utrecht). The title of this book clearly alludes to the PhD defended in Utrecht on Friday 15 October 1971, called On the Compositional Nature of the Aspects. It was published in 1972 without substantial corrections. The fact that October 15 this year will fall on a Friday was such a nice coincidence that it was impossible to escape from the idea that the book could be presented on that very day in a celebratory setting of some sort, exactly fifty years later. This has been developed into the more concrete idea of a workshop with distinguished speakers working in the domain of tense, aspect and mood who could connect their contribution to topics broached in the new book. The book addresses both linguists and logicians, so we are happy that UiLOTS (Utrecht) and ILLC (Amsterdam) have joined forces in organizing this workshop.

8 - 10 December 2021, Workshop "Mathematics as/in Science", Gent, Belgium

Date: 8 - 10 December 2021
Location: Gent, Belgium
Deadline: Monday 25 October 2021

The relationship between mathematics and science continues to be of considerable philosophical interest. Within contemporary philosophy of science, for example, pinpointing the exact role of mathematics in the sciences remains a hotly debated issue. Does mathematics play a mere inferential role in that it allows for the derivations of one substantial truth from another or is mathematics more than a 'theoretical juice-extractor'? Are there distinctive mathematical explanations of physical phenomena? Similar questions can be asked about the role of logic in science.

These issues connect with discussions within the philosophy of mathematics (and the philosophy of logic) concerning the nature of mathematics (or logic). Within the philosophy of mathematics, Platonists, nominalists and structuralists consider mathematics to be fundamentally different in kind from empirical science, while empiricists have argued that mathematics is, just like other sciences, fundamentally about aspects of the empirical world. Different positions within the debate about the nature of mathematics will, arguably, lead to different answers to the question as to how mathematics and science are related.

In this workshop we want to focus on how these different philosophies of mathematics fare in giving an account of mathematical practice and the role of mathematics in scientific practice.

We welcome contributions that approach these (and related) topics either from a systematic or a historic angle. In other words, we welcome contributions that elaborate and defend your own position, but also contributions that discuss the views that philosophers and scientists had on these topics in the past.

26 - 27 October 2021, 2nd ENCODE Workshop: Logic & Deliberation, Rotterdam (The Netherlands) or Virtual

Date: 26 - 27 October 2021
Location: Rotterdam (The Netherlands) or Virtual
Deadline: Thursday 7 October 2021

The ENCODE workshops are organized bi-annually at the EIPE/ESPhil (Erasmus University of Rotterdam), as part of the NWO-funded project ENCODE: Explicating Norms of Collective Deliberation. In this workshop we welcome all presentations on original contributions in philosophical logic and formal philosophy more generally that are relevant for the study of deliberative, multi-agent decision processes and procedures. In contemporary democratic theory and political science, the importance of group deliberation is stressed over and again. But what exact form should such deliberation take, and what can we expect from it?

Keynote Speakers: Natacha Alechina (Utrecht), Zoé Christoff (Groningen), Dominik Klein (Utrecht) and Hannes Leitgeb ((Munich).

27 - 29 October 2021, 6th International Conference on the History and Philosophy of Computing (HaPoC 2021), Virtual & Zürich (Switzerland)

Date: 27 - 29 October 2021
Location: Virtual & Zürich (Switzerland)
Deadline: Monday 3 May 2021

The growing cultural import of computing practices has become ever more pressing in our days in all dimensions of social life. The global and collective nature of the challenges our epoch is facing (e.g. climate change, global pandemics, systemic inequalities, resurgence of totalitarianism, to name a few) requires a comprehensive perspective on computing, where social and cultural aspects occupy a central position. For these reasons, thinking about machines asks today for an interdisciplinary approach, where art is as necessary as engineering, anthropological insights as important as psychological models, and the critical perspectives of history and philosophy as decisive as the axioms and theorems of theoretical computer science.

For more than a decade, the 'History and Philosophy of Computing' Conference (HaPoC) has contributed to building such an interdisciplinary community and environment. We aim to bring together historians, philosophers, computer scientists, social scientists, designers, manufacturers, practitioners, artists, logicians, mathematicians, each with their own experience and expertise, to take part in the collective construction of a comprehensive image of computing.
