CALL FOR PAPERS
WoLLIC is an annual international forum on
inter-disciplinary research involving formal logic,
computing and programming theory, and natural language
and reasoning. Each meeting includes invited talks and
tutorials as well as contributed papers. The
twenty-fifth WoLLIC will be held at Utrecht
University, The Netherlands, from July 2nd to 5th,
2019. It is sponsored by the Association for Symbolic
Logic (ASL), the Interest Group in Pure and Applied
Logics (IGPL), the The Association for Logic, Language
and Information (FoLLI), the European Association for
Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS), the European
Association for Computer Science Logic (EACSL), ACM
Special Interest Group on Logic and Computation
(ACM-SIGLOG) (TBC), the Sociedade Brasileira de
Computação (SBC), and the Sociedade Brasileira de
Lógica (SBL).
Just before and after the main WoLLIC 2019 event,
Utrecht University will host two satellite workshops:
-Proof Theory in Logic on 1-2 July 2019. This
workshop on the role of structural proof theory in the
study of logics will consist of invited talks by
researchers in that area.
-Compositionality in formal and distributional
models of natural language semantics, on July 6 2019.
The workshop programs will be announced end of
December 2018 via the WoLLIC 2019 website (
https://wollic2019.sites.uu.nl).
Attendance of these satellite workshops is free, but
registration is required.
PAPER SUBMISSION
Contributions are invited on all pertinent
subjects, with particular interest in
cross-disciplinary topics. Typical but not exclusive
areas of interest are: foundations of computing and
programming; novel computation models and paradigms;
broad notions of proof and belief; proof mining, type
theory, effective learnability; formal methods in
software and hardware development; logical approach to
natural language and reasoning; logics of programs,
actions and resources; foundational aspects of
information organization, search, flow, sharing, and
protection; foundations of mathematics; philosophy of
mathematics; philosophical logic; philosophy of
language. Proposed contributions should be in English,
and consist of a scholarly exposition accessible to
the non-specialist, including motivation, background,
and comparison with related works. Articles should be
written in the LaTeX format of LNCS by Springer (see
authors instructions at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0).
They must not exceed 12 pages, with up to 5 additional
pages for references and technical appendices. The
paper's main results must not be published or
submitted for publication in refereed venues,
including journals and other scientific meetings. It
is expected that each accepted paper be presented at
the meeting by one of its authors. (At least one
author is required to pay the registration fee before
granting that the paper will be published in the
proceedings.) Papers must be submitted electronically
at the WoLLIC 2019 EasyChair website. (Please go to
http://wollic.org/wollic2019/instructions.html
for instructions.) A title and single-paragraph
abstract should be submitted by Feb 22, 2019, and the
full paper by Feb 26, 2019 (firm date). Notifications
are expected by April 5, 2019, and final papers for
the proceedings will be due by April 15, 2019 (firm
date).
PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings of WoLLIC 2019, including both
invited and contributed papers, will be published in
advance of the meeting as a volume in Springer's LNCS
series. In addition, abstracts will be published in
the Conference Report section of the Logic Journal of
the IGPL, and selected contributions will be published
(after a new round of reviewing) as a special
post-conference WoLLIC 2019 issue of a scientific
journal (to be confirmed).
