extended deadline: Logic and Games

15 Jul 2014
Vienna, Austria

Vienna Summer of Logic 2014 Workshop on Logic and Games

Despite its austere appearance, formal logic can often be viewed
through the lens of game theory, whereby various logical concepts --
validity, consequence, provability, satisfiability, (in)dependence,
possibility, etc. -- become animated as games. Going in the other
direction, one can start with games and find logics, and various
logical concepts, therein. The idea of viewing logics as games, and
vice versa, is by no means new, but it has enjoyed a certain
renaissance in recent years. The workshop is intended to serve as a
magnet to attract the latest research in the spirit of connecting
logic to games.

We seek contributions connected with:
