Date: 9-20 August 2010
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Deadline: 3 March 2010

The Student Session of the 22nd European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark from August 9 to August 20. We invite submissions of papers describing original, unpublished research conducted in the interdisciplinary areas of LOgic and COmputation, LOgic and LAnguage, and LAnguage and COmputation. All (co-)authors must be students (i.e., before the completion of the Ph.D.).

Deadline for submissions (extended): 3 March 2010. For more information, see http://marija.gforge.uni.lu/esslli2010.html or the ESSLLI 2010 website at http://esslli2010cph.info/.

9-20 August 2010, 22th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI-2010), Copenhagen, Denmark

Date: 9-20 August 2010
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Deadline: 7 September 2009

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI) is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI, http://www.folli.org) in different sites around Europe. The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic and computation. ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within the three areas of interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and Computation.

Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information.

16-20 August 2010, Workshop on Dependence and Independence in Logic, Copenhagen, Denmark

Date: 16-20 August 2010
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Deadline: 1 April 2010

Dependence and independence are common phenomena, wherever one looks: ecological systems, astronomy, human history, stock markets - but what is their role in logic and - turning the tables - what is the logic of these concepts?

The possibility of nesting quantifiers, thus expressing patterns of dependence and independence between variables, accounts for much of the expressive power of first order logic. However, first order logic is not capable of expressing all such patterns, and as 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 tools for the study of complex forms of dependence, with applications to computer science, philosophy, linguistics, game theory and mathematics. Recently there has been an increasing interest in this topic, especially among young researchers.

The goal of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for researchers to further explore the very notions of dependence and independence and their role in formal logic, inparticular with regard to logics of imperfect information.

The possibility of nesting quantifiers, thus expressing patterns of dependence and independence between variables, accounts for much of the expressive power of first order logic. However, first order logic is not capable of expressing all such patterns, and as 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 tools for the study of complex forms of dependence, with applications to computer science, philosophy, linguistics, game theory and mathematics. Recently there has been an increasing interest in this topic, especially among young researchers.

The goal of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for researchers to further explore the very notions of dependence and independence and their role in formal logic, inparticular with regard to logics of imperfect information.
