7 September 2007, CWI Lectures 2007, in honor of Paul Vitanyi
Paul Vitányi is one of the world's most distinguished researchers in the area of Kolmogorov complexity. His research deserves broad attention. To honor Paul and his research, CWI has invited three of the world's most important researchers in theoretical computer science: Andrew Yao (Turing award 2000), Ming Li (coauthor of 'Introduction to Kolmogorov Complexity and its Applications) and Leonid Levin (co-inventor of NP-completeness). Paul's research is the central theme of this afternoon.
For more information and registration, see http://www.cwi.nl/events/2007/cwilectures1.html/.

14 September 2007, Workshop Optimality Theory and Interpretation
This is the first of set of meetings researchers in the Netherlands and Germany on Optimality Theory and Interpretation are organising for keeping in touch about issues they are working on. Interested others are very welcome (please announce your attendance to henk.zeevat@uva.nl, also saying whether you are joining in for lunch).

27 September 2007, Logic Tea, Sonja Smets
This talk is based on joint work with A. Baltag on the use of concepts and techniques from Dynamic Epistemic Logic (DEL) to model and interpret quantum behavior. I start by giving a brief overview of traditional Quantum Logic, as a non-classical propositional logic. Then I move on to Goldblatt's early work on Modal Quantum Logic. Next I present a dynamic-epistemic setting for quantum logic, that can overcome some of the limitations of this earlier work.
For more information on this talk and future events please refer to the website at http://staff.science.uva.nl/~fitz/logic_tea or contact Joel Uckelmann (juckelma at science.uva.nl) or Edgar Andrade (E.J.AndradeLotero at uva.nl).
28 September 2007, Games in Logic, Language and Computation (GLLC 14½)
Games are an important tool in set theory and model theory. This GLLC meeting (the 14th in the GLLC series) will focus on the current work of students from Amsterdam and Helsinki dealing with aspects of games in set theory and model theory. It is also to be seen as an encounter between Dutch and Finnish culture in mathematical logic and a great opportunity to learn about each others' research plans, goals, techniques and questions.
Speakers include Ioanna Dimitriou, Tapio Eerola, Jokke Hasa, Daisuke Ikegami, Lauri Keskinen, Yurii Khomskii, Vadim Kulikov, Brian Semmes, Laura Sutinen and Lauri Tuomi.
For more information, see https://www.illc.uva.nl/lgc/gllc14.5/ or contact Daisuke Ikegami <ikegami at science.uva.nl>.
