Please note that the submission deadline has been extended to March 22.
Scope
-----
Studying logics via semantics is a well-established and very active
branch of mathematical logic, with many applications, in computer
science and elsewhere. The area is characterized by results, tools
and techniques stemming from various fields, including universal
algebra, topology, category theory, order, and model theory. The
program of the conference TACL 2009 will focus on three
interconnecting mathematical themes central to the semantical study
of logics and their applications: algebraic, categorical, and
topological methods. This is the fourth conference in the series
Topology, Algebra and Categories in Logic (TACL, formerly TANCL).
Earlier installments of this conference have been organized in
Tbilisi (2003), Barcelona (2005), and Oxford (2007).

Featured topics
---------------
Contributed talks can deal with any topic falling under the scope of the
meeting. This includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
* Algebraic logic
* Coalgebraic semantics
* Categorical methods in logic
* Domain theory
* Fuzzy and many-valued logics
* Lattices with operators
* Modal logics
* Non-classical logics
* Ordered topological spaces
* Ordered algebraic structures
* Pointfree topology
* Residuated structures
* Stone-type dualities
* Substructural logics
* Topological semantics of modal logic
Submissions
-----------
Contributed presentations will be of two types: 20 minutes long
presentations in parallel sessions and featured, 30 minutes long,
plenary presentations. The submission of an abstract of 1-4 pages is
required to be selected for a contributed presentation of either
kind. While preference will be given to new work, results that have
already been published or presented elsewhere will also be
considered. More information on the submission procedure is
available on the conference website.
Grants
-------------
TACL 2009 hopes to support junior and/or low budget participants whose
contributed talk proposal has been approved from the PC. This support
will take the form of fee waivers and of travel or accommodation grants.
For more information, please visit the conference website. The deadline
for grant application is April 22, 2009.
