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 these 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.
