===================================================== TOPOLOGY, ALGEBRA AND CATEGORIES IN LOGIC (TACL 2017) ===================================================== Conference: June 26 -- 30, 2017 (Prague) School: June 20 -- 24, 2017 (Olomouc) http://www.cs.cas.cz/tacl2017/ The Eighth International Conference on Topology, Algebra and Categories in Logic organized by Institute of Computer Science, Czech Academy of Sciences Faculty of Arts, Charles University & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & The Third Summer School organized by Faculty of Science, Palacký University Olomouc Studying logics via semantics is a well-established and very active branch of mathematical logic, with many applications in computer science and elsewhere. The area is characterized by results, tools and techniques stemming from various fields, including universal algebra, topology, category theory, order and model theory. The programme of the conference TACL 2017 will focus on three interconnecting mathematical themes central to the semantical study of logics and their applications: algebraic, categorical and topological methods. This is the eighth conference in the series Topology, Algebra and Categories in Logic (TACL, formerly TANCL). Earlier instalments of this conference have been organized in Tbilisi (2003), Barcelona (2005), Oxford (2007), Amsterdam (2009), Marseille (2011), Nashville (2013) and Ischia (2015). Starting from 2013, the conference is preceded by a summer school.
