LATA is a yearly conference in theoretical computer science and its applications. As linked to the International PhD School in Formal Languages and Applications that was developed at Rovira i Virgili University (the host of the previous three editions and co-organizer of this one) in the period 2002-2006, LATA 2010 will reserve significant room for young scholars at the beginning of their career. It will aim at attracting contributions from both classical theory fields and application areas (bioinformatics, systems biology, language technology, artificial intelligence, etc.).

At one time, there was lively dialogue between Western and Eastern philosophy. Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and William James were strongly influenced by Eastern philosophy. But, during recent years, Western philosophy has shown much less respect for the East than previous and there seems less awareness that issues like epistemology, time, and selfhood have been addressed very intelligently in the East.

The purpose of the conference is to reinvigorate the dialog between Eastern and Western philosophy (philosophy as distinct from religion), and a galaxy of brilliant speakers from all over the globe have agreed to participate.

Preferences are ubiquitous and unavoidable when dealing with interacting agents. This workshop consists of five talks by researchers in preference representation, highlighting recent work. No registration is required.

Predicting rational play is the central concern of game theory, and game models are built on rationality assumptions. Re-examining notions of rationality in new contexts has led to many interesting questions for game theory, as for instance in games of infinite duration, motivated by computation theory.

This FSTTCS-2009 Pre-Conference Workshop on Structural Aspects of Rationality (STAR) is intended as an occasion for exchanging ideas on foundations of game theory, especially on structural and computational arguments for the analysis of solution concepts.

The one-day symposium The End of Infinity marks the end of the NWO-FOCUS/BRICKS sponsored research project Infinity, concerned with infinite objects, computation, modeling, and reasoning. In several talks participants of the Infinity project will report on the results that have been obtained in the project, new insights and challenges for ongoing research. There will be invited talks by Larry Moss and Hans Zantema.

The Seventeenth Amsterdam Colloquium will be held December 16 - 18 2009 at the University of Amsterdam. The Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together linguists, philosophers, logicians and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal study of the semantics and pragmatics of natural and formal languages. The spectrum of topics covered ranges from descriptive (syntactic and semantic analyses of all kinds of expressions) to theoretical (logical and computational properties of semantic theories, philosophical foundations, evolution and learning of language).

Details about the symposium, and about the submission of abstracts, can be found at: https://www.illc.uva.nl/AC2009/

The 4th Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IICAI-09) will be held in Tumkur (near Bangalore), India during December 16-18 2009.

In the last two decades, we have seen a significant increase of interest in agent-oriented technology. It is crucial that both academics and industrialists within Europe have access to a forum at which current research and application issues are presented and discussed. The aim of this Seventh European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems is to encourage and support activity in the research and development of multi-agent systems, in academic and industrial efforts. This workshop is primarily intended as a European forum at which researchers and those interested in activities relating to research in the area of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems could meet, present (potentially preliminary) research results, problems, and issues in an open and informal but academic environment.

The belief that what mathematicians think and do is important to the philosophy of mathematics is a relatively recent position. This focus on mathematical practice suggests that research into how mathematical definitions or axioms are motivated, representations changed, problems discovered and explained, analogies formed between different mathematical fields, etc., and how these processes grow out of biologically important competences in dealing effectively with rich and complex environments, is relevant and necessary. This contrasts the traditional focus in philosophy on how mathematics should be done, or the epistemological status of mathematical theorems. The new direction is complemented by recent work in cognitive science on the origin and development of mathematical ideas. Researchers are now working at all levels to investigate how people, from young babies up to professionals and geniuses are able to perform different mathematical tasks.

With the new approach in the philosophy of mathematics, and developments in cognitive science of mathematics and embodied cognition, we feel that the time is ripe for interaction between the fields. We hope to promote a sharing of ideas and enable an atmosphere in which new connections and collaborations are forged.
