Workshop on Logic and Games

15 Jul 2014
Vienna, Austria

Vienna Summer of Logic 2014 Workshop on Logic and Games

Despite its austere appearance, formal logic can often be viewed through 
the lens of game theory, whereby various logical concepts -- validity, 
consequence, provability, satisfiability, (in)dependence, possibility, 
etc. -- become animated as games. Going in the other direction, one can 
start with games and find logics, and various logical concepts, therein. 
The idea of viewing logics as games, and vice versa, is by no means new, 
but it has enjoyed a certain renaissance in recent years. The workshop is 
intended to serve as a magnet to attract the latest research in the spirit 
of connecting logic to games.
