30 May - 3 June 2011, 12th International Conference on Relational and Algebraic Methods in Computer Science (RAMiCS 12), Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Over the past twenty years, the RelMiCS (Relational Methods in Computer Science) and AKA (Applications of Kleene Algebra) conferences have been a main forum for researchers who use the calculus of relations and similar algebraic formalisms as methodological and conceptual tools. At the last of these conferences it was decided that the two series should be united under the new title "Relational and Algebraic Methods in Computer Science (RAMiCS)". This year, special attention will be paid to the fact that the meetings started 20 years ago at the Banach Center in Warsaw.
Relational and algebraic methods and software tools like RELVIEW turn out to be useful for solving problems in social choice and game theory. For that reason this conference includes a special track on computational social choice and social software, organized by the CFSC (Computational Foundations of Social Choice) and SSEAC (Social Software for Elections, the Allocation of tenders and Coalition formation) projects of the ESF LogICCC programme.
For more information, see http://www.eur.nl/fw/english/ramics12/ or contact Harrie de Swart at deswart at fwb.eur.nl.
We invite submissions on the general topics of Relational and Algebraic Methods in Computer Science, and on Computational Social Choice and Social Software in particular. Papers and proposals for tutorials are due by December 1, 2010.

6-17 December 2010, Logic Summer School, Canberra, Australia
As computers become more powerful, their ability to perform complicated reasoning tasks increases. In order to harness their power, we need to understand the reasoning they can do, and how they may do it more efficiently. This understanding begins with logic.
The Logic Summer School comprises a blend of practical and theoretical short courses on aspects of pure and applied logic taught by international and national experts. The school provides a unique learning experience for all participants, backed up with state-of-the-art computational science facilities at the Australian National University.

.7-8 December 2010, Workshop on Automata and Logic for Data Manipulating Programs, Paris, France
A fundamental challenge in software model-checking is to deal with rich data, residing in variables or on the heap. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from both practical and theoretical sides, and to investigate how the recently developed tools in automata theory and logic, such as register and higher-order pushdown automata and logics on data words, can be used to model and verify programs with both rich data structures and operating on unbounded data values.
For details, a preliminary programme and list of invited speakers see http://www.liafa.jussieu.fr/~serre/Data/. Registration deadline: December 1st 2010 There will be no registration fee for the workshop. We will cover lunches for all participants and may be able to cover travel and accommodation costs for a limited number of students.
7-8 December 2010, Workshop "From cognitive science and psychology to an empirically-informed philosophy"
The workshop will bring together logicians, philosophers, psychologists and cognitive scientists to discuss the interface between cognitive science and psychology, on the one hand, and the philosophy of logic on the other hand. More specifically, we wish to investigate the extent to which (if at all), and in what ways, experimental results from these fields may contribute to the formulation of an empirically-informed philosophy of logic, taking into account how human agents, logicians and non-logicians alike, in fact reason.

The school provides a unique learning experience for all participants, backed up with state-of-the-art computational science facilities at the Australian National University.

28 June - 1 July 2011, IEA/AIE 2011 special session on modeling and support of cognitive and affective human processes, Syracuse NY, U.S.A.
To support humans in demanding circumstances it is often required that an intelligent system application has some form of human-awareness. This means that the system has a form of intelligence that enables it to analyze and tune itself to the human's cognitive and affective states and processes, such as attention, level of stress, or exhaustion. To design such intelligent applications in the first place the system needs knowledge of the relevant human processes, and possesses methods to use this knowledge to become human-aware: to estimate and analyze the human's states and processes. Furthermore, based on such human-awareness the system is able to tune its actions and interactions with the human.
In this track we are looking for research papers that explore building blocks or full applications for such intelligent systems. All kinds of aspects of cognitive and affective human processes in all areas of life and/or work may be relevant. For example, the papers can address the analysis and modeling of such human processes, or models, architecture, or interfaces to support human cognitive and/or affective processes. Hereby, the (intended) application system does not necessarily need to incorporate an explicit model of human processes, but can also be based on heuristics developed by using formalized models of human functioning.
For more information, see http://www.cs.vu.nl/~mhoogen/iea-aie-2011/ or contact the session organizers via mhoogen at cs.vu.nl.
Authors are invited to electronically submit their paper, presenting the results of original research or innovative practical applications relevant for the special session. Submissions due: December 17, 2010.

20 December 2010, Tractatus in Holland
In the week December 13-20, 1919, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell met at The Hague in order to discuss - line by line - the manuscript of the Tractatus so that Russell could write his preface. Now 91 years later, the Philosophical Institute at Leiden, with support from the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Logica en de Grondslagen van de Exacte Wetenschappen, devotes a day to the careful study of Wittgenstein’s classical book.
The speakers at this Tagung will be Harm Boukema (Nijmegen), Jaap van der Does (Amsterdam), Martin Stokhof (Amsterdam), Göran Sundholm (Leiden), and Albert Visser (Utrecht).

4-7 April 2011, 3rd AISB Symposium on Computing and Philosophy, York, U.K.
In conjunction with the 2011 AISB (Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour) Convention.
As a subject for philosophical investigation computing has a long history. With the rapid technological progress of electronic computing since the mid-20th century we have seen the emergence of much deeper and broader interactions between computing and philosophy. Both philosophy and computing stand to benefit from this continuing dialogue. The purpose of the symposium is to further strengthen communication between these disciplines, thereby to advance the philosophical study of computing in general in relation to a number of key issues. These include traditional philosophical problems and the philosophical issues surrounding computational modelling. We therefore welcome papers exploring any of these issues. Papers that engage with cognitive science are particularly encouraged.
