3rd INDIAN CONFERENCE ON LOGIC AND ITS APPLICATION
 				January 7--11, 2009
 			The Institute of Mathematical Sciences,
 				Chennai, India

 				FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

ALI, the Association for Logic in India, announces the next edition of its 
biennial International Conference on Logic and its Applications (ICLA), to 
be held at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, from January 7 
to 11, 2009.

ICLA is a forum for bringing together researchers from a wide variety of 
fields that formal logic plays a significant role in, along with 
mathematicians, philosophers and logicians studying foundations of formal 
logic in itself.  A special feature of this conference is the inclusion of 
studies in systems of logic in the Indian tradition, and historical 
research on logic.

The earlier events in this series featured many eminent logicians as 
invited speakers, as will be the case this year as well. See 
http://ali.cmi.ac.in for information on past events as well as updates on 
this conference.

Scope
-----

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished 
research in any area of logic and applications.  Papers on topics of 
current interest in pure and applied logic, foundations and philosophy of 
mathematics and the sciences, areas of theoretical computer science, 
artificial intelligence and other disciplines which are of direct interest 
to mathematical and philosophical logic, as well as articles on the 
relationship between logic and other branches of knowledge, or on history 
of logic, are welcome. Of special interest are articles on historical 
Indian systems of logic, especially in relation to modern logical studies.

Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be 
published in the conference proceedings, which will be made available at 
the time of the conference. It is expected that the conference proceedings 
will appear as a volume in the FoLLI series of Springer Lecture Notes in 
Artificial Intelligence; this will be confirmed soon.
