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 July 1-2, 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).
