HOPOS is devoted to promoting serious, scholarly research on the history of the philosophy of science. We construe this subject broadly, to include topics in the history of related disciplines and in all historical periods, studied through diverse methodologies. We aim to promote historical work in a variety of ways, but especially through encouraging exchange among scholars through meetings, publications, and electronic media.

HOPOS 2018 will take place at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands in July 2018. The local organizers include Professor Martin Lenz, Dr Han Thomas Adriaenssen and Dr Andrea Sangiacomo of the History of Philosophy Department. Keynote speakers: Karen Detlefsen (University of Pennsylvania) and Martin Kusch (University of Vienna).

The local organizers and the scientific committee cordially invite you to participate in the 3rd annual meeting of the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung (DMV) und the Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Mathematik (GDM)/

Besides classical talks on mathematical research and on research in mathematics education, the GDMV 2018 conference will include talks that bring these two fields together by focusing on teaching and learning at university level and in the mathematics education of future teachers. A special day of lectures for teachers (Lehrertag), as well as events for young researchers (Studierendenkonferenz DMV, Nachwuchstag GDM) and talks concerning mathematics in industry and enterprises, complete the program.

We invite submissions for the special issue of the Journal for General Philosophy of Science on the topic of Formal Models of Scientific Inquiry. The issue will include papers presented at the conference on the same topic, which was held in Bochum on July 18-19, 2017. Papers not presented at the conference are also welcome.

Throughout the last two decades philosophical discussions on scientific inquiry have increasingly utilized formal models. One of the main advantages of formal approaches is that they help us to gain a precise understanding of the underlying issues and to form normative generalizations that are difficult to obtain in view of traditional methods (such as, for example, historical case studies). Nevertheless, models frequently come with a high degree of idealization and simplification, which may impede their relevance for actual scientific practice. This poses the question, to which extent formal models can be used to provide an understanding of scientific inquiry, and to which extent they can be improved with respect to their relevance for science policy. We invite papers on the above and related issues.

The Division for Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science and Technology of the International Union for History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (DLMPST/IUHPST) is the global voice for logic and philosophy of science, representing our field in global research councils such as the International Council for Science (ICSU) and the Conseil International de Philosophie et des Sciences Humained (CIPSH). Our disciplines serve as an important instrument of methodological reflection for all sciences. The workshop in Salzburg, organised on the occasion of a meeting of the Council members of DLMPST/IUHPST, will cover these aspects and serve as a moment of methodological introspection.

Speakers include Rachel Ankeny (Australia), Verónica Becher (Argentina), Amita Chatterjee (India), Helen Longino (U.S.A.), Hannes Leitgeb (Germany), Menachem Magidor (Israel), Mitsuhiro Okada (Japan), Katarzyna Paprzycka-Hausman (Poland), Peter Schroeder-Heister (Germany), and Charlotte Werndl (Austria).

Large-scale semantic processing and strong computer assistance of mathematics and science is our inevitable future. New combinations of AI and reasoning methods and tools deployed over large mathematical and scientific corpora will be instrumental to this task. The AITP conference is the forum for discussing how to get there as soon as possible, and the force driving the progress towards that.

There will be several focused sessions on AI for ATP, ITP and mathematics, modern AI and big-data methods, and several sessions with contributed talks. The focused sessions will be based on invited talks and discussion oriented.

The aim of this conference is to provide a platform for postgraduate students working in model theory to present their research.

Invited speakers: Bruno Poizat (Institut Camille Jordan) and Francoise Delon (Paris Diderot), plenary talks, and Dugald Macpherson (Leeds), short course.

Modalities and predicates have since ancient times been central notions of logic. In the 20th century, various systems of non-classical logics emerged, with applications mainly in Computer Science, but also in many other disciplines such as Linguistics, Mathematics, and Philosophy. Both the theoretical studies and the needs of applications gave rise to the questions of non-classical treatment of quantification and modalities and their accommodation in these non-classical logics. In response, various modal and predicate variants of non-classical logics have been introduced and studied in the past decades.

Although there are many good conferences on (mainly propositional) non-classical logics, this conference is one solely dedicated to modal and predicate non-classical logics. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers in both pure and applied aspects of various branches of non-classical logics, not only to present recent advances in their particular fields, but mainly foster the exchange of ideas between researchers focusing on (1) separate branches of non-classical logic and (2) foundational and applied issues.

We are happy to announce the second Amsterdam SMART Cognitive Science Conference on the theme of ‘SMART Animals’. The conference will take place in Amsterdam, from December 6th-8th. The conference will consist of three plenary evening lectures and debates, and three successive workshops devoted to the topics of animal cognition in the broad sense (i.e., including humans).

The conference is free of charge. Due to space limitations, however, you will need to formally register to be allowed in the workshop or lecture rooms. We therefore encourage you to register as soon as possible. The deadline for registration is November 15th. You can find the link to the registration form here.

Second-order quantifier elimination (SOQE) means to compute from a given logic formula with quantifiers upon second-order objects such as predicates, an equivalent formula in which these quantified second-order objects do no longer occur. It can be combined with various underlying logics, including classical propositional and first-order logic as well as modal and description logics. In slight variations it is also known as forgetting, projection, predicate elimination and uniform interpolation. It is particularly attractive as a logic-based approach to various computational tasks.

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers working on SOQE and related topics. The hope is that issues shared by problems emerging from different special contexts will become apparent, interesting open research problems will be identified, and potential new applications as well as demands on implementations will become visible.

The field of computational linguistics has made much progress in developing models of syntactic and semantic parsing. With current models we can compute with great accuracy and speed the constituency and dependency structure of sentences, predict semantic roles and sentiment, or derive representations that allow us to retrieve and infer facts, summarize text and translate into other languages. However, do these technological advances also yield a better understanding of how language is learned and processed by humans? In this workshop we discuss recent developments in using parsing models for analyzing empirical data from psycholinguistics and brain imaging, developments in rich parsing models that do justice to intricate structural properties of natural languages and unsolved challenges from these domains.

Remko Scha (1945-2015) was professor of computational linguistics at the UvA’s Institute for Logic, Language and Computation. During his career, he made significant scientific and artistic contributions to areas as diverse as question answering, discourse analysis, the semantics of plurals, Data-Oriented Parsing, aleatoric music, algorithmic art, and theories and models of visual perception and creativity. In this workshop we celebrate these contributions with talks on current developments in many of the areas he was interested in.

Univalent Type Theory is an emerging field of mathematics that studies a fruitful relationship between homotopy theory and (dependent) type theory. This relation plays a crucial role in Voevodsky's program of Univalent Foundations, a new approach to foundations of mathematics, based on ideas from homotopy theory, such as the Univalence Principle.

The UniMath library is a large repository of computer-checked mathematics, developed from the univalent viewpoint. The workshop will give many young researchers an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the UniMath library and become contributors. During the school/workshop, the participants will be working either individually or in small groups, mentored by experienced UniMath developers. The problems will be designed to be of practical importance in the development of the UniMath library as well as of pedagogical value to participants.

In the last two decades, we have seen a significant increase of interest in agent-based computing. This field is now set to become one of the key intelligent systems technologies in the 21st century. The aim of the EUMAS series is to provide a forum for academics and practitioners in Europe at which current research and application issues are presented and discussed, and to encourage and support activity in the research and development of multi-agent systems, in academic and industrial efforts.

EUMAS is co-located with the 5thedition of the International Agreement Technologies (AT) Conference, and is a designated event of the European Association of Multi-Agent Systems (EURAMAS).

Substructural logics are non-classical logics lacking some of the structural rules of classical logic, and are motivated by philosophical, linguistic and computational considerations. Traditionally, substructural logics have been investigated using proof theoretic and algebraic methods. In recent years, combined approaches have started to emerge. The program of this SYSMICS workshop will be focused on the interactions between syntactic and semantic methods in substructural and related logics, as well as their applications.

The workshop brings together researchers of mathematical logic and its related areas, and would provide a forum for interplay between these areas. This workshop will be held as a part of the JSPS Core-to-Core Program "Mathematical Logic and its Applications", which is led by Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) in cooperation with several institutes both in Japan and abroad.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from different backgrounds to explore the philosophical and social issues raised by games as inspiration, model, testbed or context for Artificial Intelligence.

The targeted audience for the workshop are researchers associated with fields working in the development of computational models for creativity, concept formation, concept discovery, idea generation, and their overall relation to general intelligence. Furthermore, researchers coming from application areas, like computer-aided innovation (CAI) are welcome to submit papers for this workshop.

Due to the open nature of the targeted topics, we hope for contributions from a broad variety of subdisciplines within AI and related areas.

Over the past few years, Kit Fine, Mark Jago and many others have developed various hyperintensional logics: logics that do not satisfy replacement of classical equivalents. Instead, a stronger notion of “analytic equivalence” lies at the core of these systems. Semantics that are more fine-grained than possible-world semantics, such as exact truthmaker semantics, have been proposed to interpret hyperintensional logics. They have recently been applied to the theory of counterfactuals and to debates in metaphysics, among other topics. The aim of this workshop is to bring together and promote research in this area, and to draw connections with ongoing work in philosophical logic, including but not limited to: paraconsistency and paracompleteness, probability theory, first- and higher-order logics, deontic reasoning, relevance logic, and modal logic. Keynote speaker: Kit Fine.

Recently, the notion of imagination has received much attention, especially in the epistemology of modality. However, what exactly it means to imagine something, and under what circumstances imaginability is a justification for believing in a modal claim, is still up for debate. The conference aims to elucidate the notion of imagination.

The interdisciplinarity of the topic is reflected in the expertises of the invited speakers: Magdalena Balcerak Jackson (University of Miami), Francesco Berto (ILLC, University of Amsterdam), Ruth Byrne (Trinity College Dublin), Heinrich Wansing (Ruhr-University Bochum) and Timothy Williamson (Oxford University).
