The theory of combination of logics has been a central theme of logical
researches during the last past 15 years. One of a particular technique for
combining logics promoted by Dov Gabbay became famous under the name
"fibring".


At first the theory, as it is often the case in mathematics, started with
specific problems: how to put together different modal operators. But the
theory has developed onwards in a general theory applying to and concerned
with many different logical systems. At this stage the theory has been
growing analysing and shedding newlight on the most fundamental concepts of
logic: the notions of rule, of logical operator, of extension of logic and
of logical system itself.

This event is the following in a list of gatherings on combination of
logics, such as Logical Consequences and its Combinations held in Pune,
India, December 2005, CombLog'04 held in Lisbon, July 2004 and the FroCoS
(Frontiers of Combining Systems) going on since 1996.

All the dimensions of combination of logics will be touched: from abstract
general frameworks based on universal logic and category theory to
applications to some philosophical problems through some typical cases
related with classical and intuitionistic logics.
