Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees 2010

September 7  11, Prague, Czech Republic

First announcement

Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees is the second official meeting of the 
EUSFLAT Working Group on Mathematical Fuzzy Logic (www.mathfuzzlog.org).

Mathematical Fuzzy Logic is a subdiscipline of Mathematical Logic which 
studies the notion of comparative truth. The assumption that truth comes
 
in degrees has proved to be very useful in many, both theoretical and 
applied, areas of Mathematics, Computer Science and Philosophy.

The main goals of this meeting are to foster collaboration between 
researchers in the area of Mathematical Fuzzy Logic and to promote 
communication and cooperation with members of neighbouring fields.

The featured topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

     * Proof systems for fuzzy logics: Hilbert, Gentzen, natural deduction,
 
tableaux, resolution, computational complexity, etc.
     * Algebraic semantics: residuated lattices, MTL-algebras, 
BL-algebras,  MV-algebras, Abstract Algebraic Logic, functional 
representation, etc.
     * Game-theory: Giles games, Renyi-Ulam games, evaluation games, etc.
     * First-order fuzzy logics: axiomatizations, arithmetical hierarchy,
 
model theory, etc.
     * Higher-order fuzzy logical systems: type theories, Fuzzy Class 
Theory, and formal fuzzy mathematics.
     * Philosophical issues: connections with vagueness and uncertainty.
     * Applied fuzzy logical calculi: foundations of fuzzy logical 
programming, logic-based reasoning about similarity, fuzzy description 
logics, etc.

We also welcome contributions on any relevant aspects of related logical 
systems (such as substructural and quantum logics, and many-valued logics
 
in general).
