SUMMARY:Workshop on Dependence and Independence in
  Logic, Copenhagen, Denmark
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20100816
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20100820
LOCATION:Copenhagen, Denmark
DESCRIPTION:Dependence and independence are common
  phenomena, wherever one looks: ecological systems
 , astronomy, human history, stock markets - but wh
 at is their role in logic and - turning the tables
  - what is the logic of these concepts?  The possi
 bility of nesting quantifiers, thus expressing pat
 terns of dependence and independence between varia
 bles, accounts for much of the expressive power of
  first order logic. However, first order logic is 
 not capable of expressing all such patterns, and a
 s a consequence various generalizations - such as 
 branching quantifiers, or the various variants of 
 independence-friendly logic - have been introduced
  during the last fifty years. Dependence logic is 
 a recent formalism, which brings to the forefront 
 the very concept of dependence, isolating it from 
 the notion of quantifier and making it one of the 
 primitive elements of the language. It can also be
  added to other logics, such as modal logic. This 
 has opened up an opportunity to develop logical to
 ols for the study of complex forms of dependence, 
 with applications to computer science, philosophy,
  linguistics, game theory and mathematics. Recentl
 y there has been an increasing interest in this to
 pic, especially among young researchers.  The goal
  of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for
  researchers to further explore the very notions o
 f dependence and independence and their role in fo
 rmal logic, inparticular with regard to logics of 
 imperfect information.   For more information, see
  https://www.illc.uva.nl/dependence/. This worksho
 p is organized as part of the European Summer Scho
 ol on Logic, Language and Information 2010 in coop
 eration with the European Science Foundation EUROC
 ORES program LogICCC project LINT (Logic for inter
 action).   Authors are invited to submit an extend
 ed abstract with a maximum length of 5 pages. Subm
 ission deadline: 1 April 2010
