  • (New) 30 September 2022, Cool Logic, Mike Cruchten

    Date & Time: Friday 30 September 2022, 17:00-19:00
    Speaker: Mike Cruchten
    Title: The theory of regular lasso languages
    Location: Room TBA, ILLC, Science Park, Amsterdam

    The theory of regular languages has been studied extensively and offers many nice connections to logic, algebra, and coalgebra. Unfortunately, the theory of omega-regular languages is slightly less well-behaved, in particular with regards to coalgebra. To bridge the gap we introduce the theory of regular lasso languages, a theory combining the simplicity of regular languages with the expressiveness of omega-regular languages. As with any other topic related to automata theory, plenty of pictures will be provided.

  • 24 - 25 October 2022, Workshop "Connections between Epistemic Logic and Topology" (CELT2022), Haifa, Israel

    Date: 24 - 25 October 2022
    Location: Haifa, Israel
    Deadline: Monday 14 February 2022

    The link between epistemic logic and topology has its roots, on the one hand, in the topological semantics of modal logic, and on the other hand, in the intimate relations between topology and concurrency, and between topology and distributed computing. Recent years have witnessed an explosion of new work in this area, from the development of more expressive logics capable of capturing fine topological structure, to the leveraging of topological tools to represent concepts such as observations, questions, and dependence relations, and encoding deep connections with distributed computing. The richness of this area has spawned a thriving, interdisciplinary research program with applications in learning theory, network epistemology, public and private communication, inquisitive semantics, philosophy of science, and knowledge representation in distributed computing, among others.

    This workshop aims at bringing together scholars working on various ways of connecting logic and topology to showcase a variety of recent developments and applications in the area, and to foster new research collaborations.

    7 - 12 November 2022, 4th International Autumn School and Workshop on Proof Theory, Utrecht, The Netherlands

    Date & Time: 7 - 12 November 2022, 09:00-17:00
    Location: Utrecht, The Netherlands
    Deadline: Tuesday 20 September 2022

    The 4th International Autumn School on Proof Theory in Utrecht is arranged under the auspices of The Proof Society and organised by the universities of Amsterdam and Utrecht. The Proof Society has recently been formed to support the notion of proof in its broadest sense, through a series of suitable activities; to be therefore inclusive in reaching out to all scientific areas which consider proof as an object in their studies; to enable the community to shape its future by identifying, formulating and communicating its most important goals; to actively promote proof to increase its visibility and representation.

    The Autumn school will provide five courses:
    - Computational Content of Proofs by Ulrich Berger (Swansea University)
    - Proof-theoretic Semantics by Bogdan Dicher (University of Lisbon)
    - Labelled Sequent Calculi by Marianna Girlando (University of Amsterdam)
    - Proof Complexity by Raheleh Jalali (Utrecht University)
    - Proof Theory of Set Theory by Michael Rathjen (University of Leeds)

    Workshop Speakers include:
    - Benno van den Berg (University of Amsterdam)
    - Marta Bílková (Czech Academy of Sciences)
    - Sebastian Enqvist (Stockholm University)
    - Stefan Hetzl (TU Wien)
    - Hajime Ishihara (Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology)
    - Gerhard Jäger (University of Bern)

  • 9 November 2022, ILLC Diversity Talks, Prof. Moshe Vardi

    Date & Time: Wednesday 9 November 2022, 16:30-18:00
    Speaker: Prof. Moshe Vardi
    Title: Artificial Intelligence: Ethics Versus Public Policy
    Location: Room D1.111, Science Park 904, Amsterdam / Online via Zoom

    We would like to announce an upcoming talk in the ILLC Diversity Talks Series. On Wednesday 9 November 16:30 – 18:00, Moshe Vardi will give a talk on “Artificial Intelligence: Ethics Versus Public Policy”. Due to family reasons, Moshe will give the talk remotely, but we encourage everyone to attend on-location at SP 904 Room D1.111!  Alternatively, you are welcome to join us on Zoom.

    In a recent survey, many ILLC members expressed their interest in a talk on Ethical AI. Moshe Vardi acted as advisor for the ILLC for many years, and we hope that this event will bring together everyone interested in this topic.

    The talk will be followed by a reception in the ILLC Common Area at LAB42 (SP 900, LAB42, 6th floor).
