3-7 April 2013, 6th Workshop on Intuitionistic Modal Logic and Applications (IMLA 2013), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Constructive modal logics and type theories are of increasing foundational and practical relevance in computer science. Applications of constructive modal logics are in type disciplines for programming languages, meta-logics for reasoning about a variety of computational phenomena and explanatory frameworks in philosophical logic.
The workshop aims at developing and explaining theoretical and methodological issues centered around the question of how the proof-theoretic strengths of constructive logics can best be combined with the model-theoretic strengths of modal logics. Practical issues center around the question of which modal connectives with associated laws or proof rules capture computational phenomena accurately and at the right level of abstraction. The workshop will be held in association with Unilog2013.
For more information, see https://sites.google.com/site/imodallogic2013/
Contributions should be written in English and submitted in the form of full papers (with a maximum of 12 pages) or short papers (with a maximum of 6 pages). They must be unpublished and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Paper submission deadline: December 1st, 2012.

8-11 December 2012, The Fifth Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI@Oxford), Oxford, U.K.
Continuing the mission of the first four AGI conferences, AGI-12@Oxford gathers an international group of academic and industry researchers involved in scientific and engineering work aimed directly toward the goal of artificial general intelligence. The AGI conferences are the only major conference series devoted wholly and specifically to the creation of AI systems possessing general intelligence at the human level and ultimately beyond.
AGI-12@Oxford will feature invited and contributed talks on all areas of AGI, poster presentations, workshops, tutorials, and technology demonstrations. As in prior AGi conferences, there will be ample panel discussions and occasions for open collaborative discussion on key AGI issues.
AGI-12@Oxford will be followed by a related conference, AGI-Impacts, hosted by Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute and focused on the broader implications of AGI. AGI-12 attendees will get free admission to AGI-Impacts.

14-15 December 2012, Belief Change in Social Context - LogiCIC Project kick-off workshop
This workshop will create a platform for researchers coming from different fields to present their work and exchange ideas on the topic of belief change in social contexts. We look both at already-established work as well as the possible new connections that can emerge between the areas of logic, belief revision theory, learning theory, game theory and social science.
We are particularly interested in the conceptual-theoretical work as well as in the applications of formal models to specific multi-agent scenarios in which belief revision plays a crucial role. In contrast to the classical single-agent approach to Belief Revision Theory, the new developments from the area of Logic and Game Theory make it now possible to pursue a multi-agent perspective. Similarly, the study of the iterated belief revision procedures can benefit from the work on learning strategies in Formal Learning Theory. Bringing the ideas from these different areas together allows us to put forward new theoretical work which can lead to new modeling techniques and offer a better understanding of puzzling social-informational phenomena (such as pluralistic ignorance, the bandwagoning effect, group polarization, etc.).
Everybody is welcome to attend, please register via the workshop website. For more information, see http://www.ninagierasimczuk.com/logicic/kickoff/.
16-17 March 2013, 1st Workshop on Strategic Reasoning (SR 2013), Rome, Italy
Strategic reasoning is one of the most active research area in multi-agent system domain. The literature in this field is extensive and provides a plethora of logics for modeling strategic ability. Theoretical results are now being used in many exciting domains, including software tools for information system security, robot teams with sophisticated adaptive strategies, and automatic players capable of beating expert human adversary, just to cite a few. All these examples share the challenge of developing novel theories and tools for agent strategies that take into account the likely behavior of adversaries.
The SR international workshop is an ETAPS 2013 workshop and aims to bring together researchers working on different aspects of strategic reasoning in computer science, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view.
For more information, see http://www.strategicreasoning.net/
Two types of submission are invited: papers reporting on novel research, and expository papers reporting on published work. Abstract submission deadline: December 15, 2012.
