WoLLIC 2015 22nd Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation July 20th-23rd, 2015 Bloomington, IN, USA SCIENTIFIC SPONSORSHIP Interest Group in Pure and Applied Logics (IGPL) The Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI) Association for Symbolic Logic (ASL) European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) European Association for Computer Science Logic (EACSL) Sociedade Brasileira de Computação (SBC) Sociedade Brasileira de Lógica (SBL) ORGANISATION Department of Computer Science, Indiana University, USA Program in Pure and Applied Logic, Indiana University, USA Centro de Informática, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil HOSTED BY Department of Computer Science, Indiana University, USA CALL FOR PAPERS WoLLIC is an annual international forum on inter-disciplinary research involving formal logic, computing and programming theory, and natural language and reasoning. Each meeting includes invited talks and tutorials as well as contributed papers. The twenty-second WoLLIC will be held at the Department of Computer Science Indiana University, from July 20th to 23rd, 2015. It is sponsored by the Association for Symbolic Logic (ASL), the Interest Group in Pure and Applied Logics (IGPL), the The Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI), the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS), the European Association for Computer Science Logic (EACSL), the Sociedade Brasileira de Computação (SBC), and the Sociedade Brasileira de Lógica (SBL). PAPER SUBMISSION Contributions are invited on all pertinent subjects, with particular interest in cross-disciplinary topics. Typical but not exclusive areas of interest are: foundations of computing and programming; novel computation models and paradigms; broad notions of proof and belief; proof mining, type theory, effective learnability; formal methods in software and hardware development; logical approach to natural language and reasoning; logics of programs, actions and resources; foundational aspects of information organization, search, flow, sharing, and protection; foundations of mathematics; philosophical logic. Proposed contributions should be in English, and consist of a scholarly exposition accessible to the non-specialist, including motivation, background, and comparison with related works. They must not exceed 10 pages (in font 10 or higher), with up to 5 additional pages for references and technical appendices. The paper's main results must not be published or submitted for publication in refereed venues, including journals and other scientific meetings. It is expected that each accepted paper be presented at the meeting by one of its authors. Papers must be submitted electronically at the WoLLIC 2015 EasyChair website. (Please go to http://wollic.org/wollic2015/instructions.html for instructions.) A title and single-paragraph abstract should be submitted by Feb 8, 2015, and the full paper by Feb 15, 2015 (firm date). Notifications are expected by Mar 22, 2015, and final papers for the proceedings will be due by Apr 5, 2015 (firm date). PROCEEDINGS The proceedings of WoLLIC 2015, including both invited and contributed papers, will be published in advance of the meeting as a volume in Springer's LNCS series. In addition, abstracts will be published in the Conference Report section of the Logic Journal of the IGPL, and selected contributions will be published as a special post-conference WoLLIC 2015 issue of Mathematical Structures in Computer Science, CUP (to be confirmed).
