     Second International Congress on Tools for Teaching Logic
                       26-30 September 2006, Salamanca (Spain)
*******************************************************************


Submission of Papers: May 15, 2006
Notification of Acceptance: June 15, 2006
Final Camera-Ready Submission Due: July 3, 2006

AIMS AND SCOPE:

Most of us share the feeling that the teaching of an interdisciplinary
field spanning logic, linguistics and computer science should be available
in such a way that will facilitate further interdisciplinary research.
Nevertheless, we are aware that the needs are different in those fields of
study which have already been stablished. The overall concern is in the
teaching of logic, but with special regard in addressing innovations and
the systematization of educational activity. We believe that the role of
logic in the shaping of the epistemology of this XXI creature should be
crucial; Information technology is rapidly changing the world we live in,
and logic is helping us to produce, distribute and process information, as
well as to understand how coded information can modify people's state of
knowlege. At the University of Salamanca the First International Congress
on Tools for Teaching Logic took place in June 2000. A number of logicians
from different countries in Europe, the US and South America gathered
there to focus on education on the interfaces between philosophy,
linguistics, mathematics, computer science and related disciplines.

The organizing committee invites you to take part in the Second
International Congress on Tools for Teaching Logic, which will be held in
Salamanca on September 26-30, 2006. There will be lectures, discussion
sessions, round tables and software demonstrations. You are kindly invited
to take active part in discussion sessions and to exhibit your teaching or
professional software. We invite submission of papers on all aspects of
teaching logics, including the following

Main topics
1. Issues, Means and Objectives in Teaching Logic.
2. Teaching the Role of Logic in Science and Humanities.
3. Teaching Logic Research in a Postgraduate Programme.
4. Software for Teaching Logic and Reasoning.
5. e-Learning Logic: Resources and Challenges.

Proposals of new topics on TOOLS FOR TEACHING LOGIC are welcome. The
deadline for submissions is May the 15th. Details about the submission
procedure will be announced in the second call for papers.

Even if you are not taking such an active part you must register before
June the 30th.
