24 April - 28 June 2012, Course on models of computation
Starting at 24 april 2012, a course on `Models of Computation' will be taught at Utrecht University, in the master programme `Cognitive Artificial Intelligence', but open to other students, also from other universities. At the moment there is still room for enrollment of 7-8 additional students.
The aim of this course is to get acquainted with some of the most frequently used models of computation in computability theory and logic, and in the disciplines of AI. Classical and less well-known models will be studied. Relationships between these models will be established via simulations. The Church-Turing Thesis about effective calculability will be explained, evidence for it, and possible limitations of this statement, will be discussed. Some non-classical models of computation and their reach will be treated. Furthermore, applications in AI-disciplines will be considered.
Lecturers: Vincent van Oostrom and Clemens Grabmayer
For more information, please see the webpage http://www.phil.uu.nl/moc/ or contact the lecturers.

16 June 2012, 5th Interaction and Concurrency Experience, Stockholm, Sweden
Interaction and Concurrency Experiences (ICEs) is a series of international scientific meetings oriented to theoretical computer science researchers with special interest in models, verification, tools and programming primitives for complex interactions. The theme of ICE 2012 is Distributed coordination, execution models, and resilient interaction.
Since its 1st edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has been an innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive discussion amongst authors and PC members.

22 June 2012, LeGO, Paul Dekker
Abstract:
Herakleitos' sparse remarks on a "logos" have been deemed
dark, but 2500 years later we can see that they are not as
dark as Wittgenstein's TLP. I will use modern findings to show
that they naturally fit in Wittgenstein's program, and that
they help us to transform Aristotle's square of opposition
into an obvious cube of opposition. If time permits I will
argue that Herakleitos' logic of distinction is also
appropriately conceived of as dynamic in nature, and that it
naturally fits his own, even more sparse, remarks on ethical
matters.

22 June 2012, Colloquium on Mathematical Logic, Kenneth Manders
What, beyond proof, makes mathematics a powerful form of understanding? We approach this question by attending to the way mathematics modularizes, by shaping special-purpose contents by the expressions it deploys (and avoids) in special contexts.

24 April - 28 June 2012, Course on models of computation
Starting at 24 april 2012, a course on `Models of Computation' will be taught at Utrecht University, in the master programme `Cognitive Artificial Intelligence', but open to other students, also from other universities. At the moment there is still room for enrollment of 7-8 additional students.
The aim of this course is to get acquainted with some of the most frequently used models of computation in computability theory and logic, and in the disciplines of AI. Classical and less well-known models will be studied. Relationships between these models will be established via simulations. The Church-Turing Thesis about effective calculability will be explained, evidence for it, and possible limitations of this statement, will be discussed. Some non-classical models of computation and their reach will be treated. Furthermore, applications in AI-disciplines will be considered.
Lecturers: Vincent van Oostrom and Clemens Grabmayer
