6th INDIAN CONFERENCE ON LOGIC AND ITS APPLICATIONS January 8--10, 2015 IIT Bombay, India http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~icla15/index.html FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS ALI, the Association for Logic in India, announces the sixth edition of its biennial International Conference on Logic and its Applications (ICLA), to be held at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, from January 8 to 10, 2015. ICLA 2015 will be co-located with the 14th Asian Logic Conference to be held during January 5-8, 2015. 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. Details of the last ICLA (2013) may be found at http://www.imsc.res.in/~icla/. The earlier events in this series featured many eminent logicians as invited speakers, and we are pleased to announce that this year's speakers will include: Steve Awodey, Carnegie Mellon University J. Michael Dunn, Indiana University Bloomington Submission ---------- Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research in any area of logic and applications. Articles on mathematical and philosophical logic, foundations and philosophy of mathematics and the sciences, history of logic, Indian systems of logic, use of formal logic in areas of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, or on the relationship between logic and other branches of knowledge, are welcome. Submissions must be in English and should provide sufficient detail to allow the programme committee to assess the merits of the paper. The submission may not exceed 12 pages in Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes LaTeX2e style (Springer's Information for LNCS Authors: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). If necessary, detailed proofs of technical results can be included in a clearly marked appendix which may be read at the discretion of the programme committee. The submission must be a PDF file. Authors who use Microsoft Word to prepare their submissions should typeset them in 11-pt Times New Roman, with single-line spacing, centered, and with margins on all four sides that are at least 4cm wide. The manuscript should not exceed 12 pages. Springer's Information for LNCS Authors page (mentioned above) contains appropriate templates. The Word document must be exported to PDF before being submitted. All submissions will be in electronic form and submitted via easychair submission system. Simultaneous submission to journals or to other conferences with proceedings is not allowed. 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 Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science; this will be confirmed soon. For an accepted paper to be included in the proceedings, one of the authors must commit to presenting the paper at the conference.
