First Call for Papers for the XVII Brazilian Logic Conference (EBL 2014) 7-11 April 2014 Laboratório Nacional de Computação Científica - Petrópolis (RJ) www.uff.br/ebl Deadline for submission of papers: *** December 15, 2013 *** The Brazilian Logic Conference (EBL) is a traditional event on the agenda of several prominent researchers in Brazil and Latin America in the areas of Computer Science, Foundations and Philosophy of Science, Informatics, Artificial Intelligence, Logic and Mathematics. Previous editions of the EBL have been a great success, attracting researchers from all over Latin America and elsewhere. The EBL has become an important meeting point and discussion forum for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic. In 2014, the EBL will be held at the National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC), at Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro. The goal of the EBL is to encourage the dissemination and discussion of research papers in the area of Logic and their interconnections with the areas of Computer Science, Foundations and Philosophy of Science, Informatics, Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics. EBL 2014 also aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing work in progress, and therefore to provide feedback to authors on their preliminary research. The proceedings are produced after the meeting, so that authors can incorporate this feedback in the published papers. Topics include: Philosophical and Mathematical Logic, and Applications; History and Philosophy of Logic; Non-classical Logic and Applications; Philosophy of Formal Sciences; Foundations of Computer Science, Physics, and Mathematics, among others. Invited Speakers - TBA The previous editions of this conference were held in Campinas (1977), Campinas (1978), Recife (1979), Campinas (1980), Campinas (1981), São José dos Campos (1983), Rio de Janeiro (1984), São José dos Campos (1986), São Paulo (1988), Itatiaia (1993), Salvador (1996), Itatiaia (1999), Campinas (2003), Itatiaia (2006), Paraty (2008) and Petrópolis (2011). Logic School Starting with EBL 2008, the conference includes a Logic School aimed at undergraduate and graduate students with interest in Logic and related fields, but also open to all interested parties. The Logic School will happen on 5-6 April 2014, at the Instituto de Matemática e Estatística of the Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF), at Niterói, Rio de Janeiro.
