14 February 2003, Utrecht-Münster Seminar on Provability Algebras
(fourth session)

Date: Friday 14 February 2003
Location: Münster

In 2002/2003 a joint Compact Seminar on Provability Algebras is organized by L. Beklemishev and W. Pohlers. Altogether, four sessions, alternating in Utrecht (Department of Philosophy) and in Münster (Institute for Mathematical Logic and Foundations Research), will take place.

Graded provability algebras (GPA) are modal algebras developed to provide an abstract algebraic approach to proof-theoretic analysis. This subject brings together traditional methods of proof theory and methods developed in provability logic.

14-17 February 2003, FotFS IV : The History of the
Concept of the Formal Sciences, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitaet Bonn Mathematisches
Institut

Date: February 14-17, 2003
Location: Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitaet Bonn Mathematisches
Institut
Costs: € 25,-
Deadline: 1 November 2002

"Foundations of the Formal Sciences" (FotFS) is a series of interdisciplinary conferences in mathematics, philosophy, computer science and linguistics. The main goal is to reestablish the traditionally strong links between these areas of research that have been lost in the past decades.

This fourth meeting of the series will be devoted to a reflection on the object of interest: What are the Formal Sciences? How do they differ from the Natural Sciences and the Arts? How have they been perceived through history?

Deadline for submissions: November 1, 2002. For more information and submission guidelines, please see http://www.math.uni-bonn.de/people/fotfs/IV/, or contact the organizers at .

28 February 2003, ACLC-ILLC Workshop

Date & Time: Friday 28 February 2003, afternoon
Location: Room 004, Bungehuis, Spuistraat 210, Amsterdam

For both ACLC and ILLC understanding natural language is `core business', but hitherto contact between the two institutes has been limited. Recently several areas have been identified, where we would like to profit from each other's expertise. For example, the formal semanticists working on tense and aspect are very much interested in typology, and conversely functional linguists have become interested in formal models of discourse. During the afternoon, four speakers will introduce topics that might grow into areas of common research. Participants who want to discuss other such topics are most welcome to do so.
