CfP special issue of APAL on "Combining Probability & Logic", Deadline: 30 Sep 2021

CfP Special Issue of APAL on ?Combining Probability and Logic?

We invite submissions for a Special Issue on ?Combining Probability and 
Logic?, to be published with Annals of Pure and Applied Logic 
(https://www.journals.elsevier.com/annals-of-pure-and-applied-logic/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-combining-probability-and-logic 
<https://www.journals.elsevier.com/annals-of-pure-and-applied-logic/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-combining-probability-and-logic>).

Classically, logic and probability offer competing representations of 
partial or incomplete information, with the former assuming a qualitative 
perspective on uncertainty and the latter focusing on a quantitative 
account. Both provide their own policies for updating on new information, 
combining evidence from different sources, and acting under partial 
information.

We solicit submissions of original papers that bridge these two 
perspectives. These could, for instance, connect representations of 
inductive reasoning in either setting, but they may also apply to specific 
sub-areas, such as game theory, network theory, causal modelling, machine 
learning, or maximum entropy reasoning. Likewise, the Special Issue is 
interested in articles that apply probabilistic tools to the study of 
logical systems or that use logical frameworks, classical or 
substructural, for understanding probabilistic approaches.

The Special Issue is related to the topics of the conference Progic 2021: 
The Tenth Workshop on Combining Probability and Logic 
<https://www.fatil.philosophie.uni-muenchen.de/events/defence_inductive_logic/index.html>). 
Workshop participants, as well as other authors are invited to submit 
contributions.

In line with the policy of Annals of Pure and Applied Logic, submissions 
are expected to be of high quality and contain relevant new logical 
results that are of significant interest to a substantial number of 
logicians. To assess fit with the journal?s scope, authors are required to 
submit a suitable abstract prior to submission of the full manuscript. The 
Guest Editors will then, within three weeks, reach an assessment as to 
whether the contribution fits the journal?s scope or how such fit can be 
ensured. In case of doubt, whether a prospective submission fits the 
intended scope, we invite authors to contact the Guest Editors well in 
advance of the deadline.

All submissions will be refereed according to the standards of Annals of 
Pure and Applied Logic. Please ensure that you read the Guide for Authors 
before writing your manuscript 
<https://www.elsevier.com/journals/annals-of-pure-and-applied-logic/0168-0072/guide-for-authors>). 
Submissions can me made through 
<https://www.editorialmanager.com/apal/default.aspx>. When submitting your 
contribution, please choose ?SI: PROGIC21? from the ?Article Type Name? 
dropdown menu.

The deadline for submitting abstracts is September 30, 2021. The deadline 
for submitting full manuscripts is December 31, 2021.
