2 September 2004, Annual ILLC Boat Trip

Date & Time: Thursday 2 September 2004, 16:30
Location: Gather at frontdesk, Building Euclides, Plantage Muidergracht 24

The Master of Logic Programme will be organising an introduction for the new students on Thursday 2nd of September. Part of the Master of Logic programme is a boattrip through the canals of Amsterdam. The boat will depart at 16.30 sharp from behind Euclides (same as last year).

We would like to invite you all to join the boattrip. However, as we have quite a few new students and as this is the first year we are running the 2nd year programme we may encounter a capacity problem as only 60 people are allowed on the boat. To prevent dissapointment we ask you to register for the boattrip.

For more information, see here.

11 - 12 September 2004, 1st international workshop on Views On Designing Complex Architectures (VODCA 2004)

Date: 11 - 12 September 2004
Location: Bertinoro, Italy
Deadline: 12 September 2004

Security and management of information are key issues in informatics, and are among its fast-developing fields. On the one hand, this calls for a continuous attention of the researchers to the most recent developments in these areas. On the other hand, it asks those same researchers to come up with novel ideas and insights, while designing their own views for the growth of these fields.

The workshop aims at providing a platform for young scientist to present their research views on all areas related to the design of complex architectures, with a special focus on the security and management of information.

Deadline for submissions is June 25th, 2004. For more information, see http://www-gris.det.uvigo.es/vodca or here, or contact

28 September - 1 October 2004, Logic, Games and Philosophy: Foundational Perspectives, Prague, Czech Republic

Date: 28 September - 1 October 2004
Location: Prague, Czech Republic
Deadline: 15 June 2004

Games, like logics, are tools for investigating the world, language, and their relationship. Semantic, dialogic, evolutionary, interrogative, argumentative, and pragmatic methods have been included into the toolkit. Following the recent increase in investment on games and game-theoretic methods in logic, language, computation and communication, we still need a better understanding of the possibilities of forming converging methodologies underlying these diverse contemporary currents. The purpose of the Prague Conference on Logic, Games and Philosophy: Foundational Perspectives is to explore the interfaces between logic and games with the eye on philosophical, methodological and foundational issues.

Deadline for submissions is June 15, 2004. For more information, see http://www.flu.cas.cz/Logica/Aconf/col2004.html or here.
