TOPOLOGY, ALGEBRA AND CATEGORIES IN LOGIC (TACL 2017)
=====================================================
Conference: June 26 -- 30, 2017 (Prague)
School: June 20 -- 24, 2017 (Olomouc)

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.
