15 - 17 November 2024, 109th Peripatetic Seminar on Sheaves and Logic (PSSL 109), Leiden, NL
We are happy to announce that the 109th Peripatetic Seminar on Sheaves and Logic (PSSL 109) is set to take place over the weekend from November 15th until November 17th in the heart of Leiden, the Netherlands. Following the tradition of PSSL, this is intended to be an informal meeting that covers all areas of category theory and its applications. We will have invited talks from Paolo Perrone (University of Oxford) and Maaike Zwart (IT University of Copenhagen).
The event will be held in a hybrid format so that even those who are unable to travel can participate. There are no registration fees, but we ask that you complete the registration form even if you plan to attend remotely.
We seek proposals for contributed talks on all aspects of category theory and its applications. Talks about work in progress are also warmly welcomed. We especially encourage PhD students and young researchers to submit their work. As PSSL is an informal gathering, there will be no formal proceedings. In order to submit a talk, please send a pdf containing the details of your proposal (title, speaker name, abstract) to Chase Ford at m.c.ford at liacs.leidenuniv.nl
2 - 4 November 2024, The 22nd International Workshop on Nonmonotonic Reasoning (NMR24), Hanoi, Vietnam
NMR is the premier forum for results in the area of nonmonotonic reasoning. Its aim is to bring together active researchers in this broad field within knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR), including belief revision, uncertain reasoning, reasoning about actions, planning, logic programming, preferences, deontic reasoning, argumentation, causality, and many other related topics including systems and applications (see NMR page, https://nmr.cs.tu-dortmund.de).
NMR 2024 is co-located with the 21th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2024). As in previous editions, NMR 2024 aims to foster connections between the different subareas of nonmonotonic reasoning and provide a forum for emerging topics. We especially invite papers on systems and applications, as well as position papers and papers addressing benchmark issues. The workshop will be structured by topical sessions fitting to the scopes of accepted papers.

4 - 5 November 2024, New Perspectives on Bias and Discrimination in Language Technology
One of the central issues discussed in the context of the societal impact of language technology is that machine learning systems can contribute to discrimination, for instance by propagating human biases and stereotypes. Despite efforts to address these issues, we are far from solving them.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different fields to discuss the state of the art on bias measurement and mitigation in language technology and to explore new avenues of approach. For more information, read our Call for Abstracts.

5 November 2024, The International Workshop on Reconfigurable Transition Systems: Semantics, Logics and Applications
Reconfigurable Transition Systems (RTS) are dynamic relational structures (graphs) that evolve along its execution, in the sense that their accessibility relation, their set of nodes or their labelling change when their edges are crossed. These structures have proven to be suitable to compactly represent complex reactive and reconfigurable behaviours. Namely, the ability of reacting or readapting under the influence of certain events is a very distinctive feature of many diverse situations and objects. An autonomous vehicle that changes its route due to a new strike occurring, the behaviour of a software component after a memory disposal, or a DNA mutation as the result of a viral infection, are different examples that witness the importance of modelling about changes in a determined situation. Practical user cases have aroused the interest of the logic community in the study of variants of RTS, by developing formal methods to properly reason about such situations.
7 - 8 November 2024, Neo-Fregeanism Workshop
Abstractionism/Neo-Fregeanism in the philosophy of mathematics is the thesis that Fregean abstraction principles, such as Hume's Principle, play an essential role in our knowledge of mathematical truths, the existence of mathematical objects, and our capacity to effect singular reference to these objects. The workshop will explore the logico-mathematical aspects of neo-Fregeanism, such as Frege's Theorem and the Bad Company Objection, as well as its philosophical aspects including Frege's Caesar Problem, the possibility of mathematical singular thought and/or reference, and the epistemology of abstraction principles. The workshop occasions the imminent publication of the second edition of Crispin Wright's Frege's Conception of Numbers as Objects. We will explore variations on themes from Wright.
To register, please send an email (not later than Oct 20) to: b.assadian at leeds.ac.uk.
Free admission; everybody is welcome.

11 December 2024, nternational Workshop on Logical Aspects of Multi-Agent Systems and Strategic Reasoning (LAMAS&SR 2024), Online
Logic and strategic reasoning play a central role in multi-agent systems. Logic can be used, for instance, to express the agents' abilities, knowledge, and objectives. Strategic reasoning refers to algorithmic methods that allow for developing good behaviour for the agents of the system. At the intersection, we find logics that can express the existence of strategies or equilibria, and can be used to reason about them.
The LAMAS&SR workshop merges two international workshops: LAMAS (Logical Aspects of Multi-Agent Systems), which focuses on all kinds of logical aspects of multi-agent systems from the perspectives of artificial intelligence, computer science, and game theory, and SR (Strategic Reasoning), devoted to all aspects of strategic reasoning in formal methods and artificial intelligence. As such, the LAMAS&SR workshop aims to bring together researchers working on different aspects of either logic or strategic reasoning in computer science, artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems research, both from a theoretical and a practical viewpoint.
Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of up to 4 pages plus 1 page for references only, in the format of the KR 2024 conference. Both published and unpublished works are welcome. Submissions are subject to a single-blind review process (submissions should not be anonymous). Although there will be no formal proceedings, accepted extended abstracts will be available on the workshop website. Submissions must be in PDF and will be handled via CMT. Submissions from PC members are also allowed. Since the workshop will have informal proceedings, extended versions of the accepted papers can also be submitted elsewhere.
The informal proceedings will be available as a single PDF file from the workshop website. Extended and revised versions of the best papers presented at the workshop will be invited for a journal special issue.

28 - 29 November 2024, 6th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and fOrmal VERification, Logic, Automata, and sYnthesis (Overlay 2024), Bolzano, Italy
The increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence techniques in safety-critical systems, employed in real world scenarios, requires the design of reliable, robust, and verifiable methodologies. Artificial Intelligence systems employed in such applications need to provide formal guarantees about their safety, increasing the need for a close interaction between the Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods scientific communities, and possibly leading to the proposal of novel neurosymbolic approaches. To witness this increasing need, tools and methodologies integrating Formal Methods and Artificial Intelligence, and more broadly symbolic and sub-symbolic solutions, are getting more and more attention, especially considering the wide-range and pervasive applications of machine and deep learning models.
The workshop is the main official initiative supported by the OVERLAY group. The event aims at establishing a stable, long-term scientific forum on relevant topics connected to the relationships between Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods, by providing a stimulating environment where researchers can discuss about opportunities and challenges at the border of the two areas. Important goals of the workshop are (i) to encourage the ongoing interaction between the formal methods and artificial intelligence communities, (ii) to identify innovative tools and methodologies, and (iii) to elicit a discussion on open issues and new challenges.
