Poznan, Poland
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
*Poznan Reasoning Week 2018*
https://poznanreasoningweek.wordpress.com/
Pozna? Reasoning Week 2018, which is the third edition of PRW, consists of
three conferences, aimed at bringing together experts whose research offers
a broad range of perspectives on systematic analyses of reasoning processes
and their formal modelling. PRW 2018 is co-organised by the Institute of
Psychology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Pozna?, Poland, and Institute of
Philosophy, University of Zielona Góra, Poland.
In 2018 we address:
- games in reasoning research (Games and Reasoning 2018, 11.09.2018);
- the interplay of logic and cognition (Logic and Cognition 2018,
12--13.09.2018);
- refutation systems (Refutation Symposium 2018, 14--15.09.2018).
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We invite proposals for contributed talks. Please submit an extended
abstract of max. 1.000 words, including references, prepared for blind
review. As a first key-word, please indicate the event you want to submit
your work to (GaR, L&C or RS). Please use the standard article LaTeX class
for abstracts with plain bibliography style, or draft in 12 point font, 1.5
line spacing, with 3 cm margins, using your preferred text editor. (Please
note that accepted abstracts should eventually be submitted in LaTeX, for
which help will be available.) Please submit via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=prw2018.
LIST OF TOPICS
The aim of the *Games and Reasoning* conference is to gather researchers
from various fields who use games as tools in their research. The concept
of a game includes here serious games, scientific discovery games,
gamification techniques in science, games with a purpose as well as the
more general approaches using game theoretical framework. We are interested
in submissions addressing:
- formal models of games and agents? behaviours involved in games;
- games used to collect and analyse data (especially concerning
reasoning);
- meta-analyses of games as tools for cognitive processes studies.
*Logic and Cognition *is an initiative focusing on research on the
interplay of logic, cognitive science, psychology and computer science
which aim at shedding the light on actual reasoning processes. In
particular, we invite submissions on:
- applications of logic to the analysis of actual human reasoning;
- tools and methods suited for such applications;
- neural basis of logical reasoning;
- educational issues of cognitively-oriented logic.
*Refutation *systems are axiomatic systems applied to non-valid formulas
(or sequents). A refutation system consists of refutation axioms and
refutation rules. We say that a formula A is refutable iff A is derivable
from refutation axioms by refutation rules (or, dually, A
multiple-conclusion entails some refutation axioms). The concept was
introduced by ?ukasiewcz, but the idea of refutation was already known to
Aristotle. This approach is complementary to standard proof methods.
Although refutation systems are not widely known, we believe that the
method has potential and can produce results that are both interesting and
useful.
The goal of this conference is to explain key concepts and techniques, and
present new results on refutation systems. But we also expect exchanging
ideas and posing interesting questions. We are interested in the following
aspects of refutation systems:
- Constructive Completeness Proofs;
- Complementary Gentzen Systems;
- Decision Procedures;
- Non-monotonic Logic;
- Hybrid Rules;
- Falsifiability;
- Non-classical Logics via Refutability;
- Philosophical Aspects of Refutation.
INVITED SPEAKERS
- Camillo Fiorentini (University of Milano)
- Nina Gierasimczuk (Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer
Science of Danish Technical University)
- Valentin Goranko (Stockholm University)
- Gerhard Minnameier (Goethe University Frankfurt)
- Gabriele Pulcini (New University of Lisbon)
- Keith Stenning (University of Edinburgh)
- Hans Tompits (Vienna University of Technology)

PUBLICATION
Authors of the accepted abstracts will be invited to submit their original
research for publication in a special volume in the *Studies in Logic* series
by College Publications. Papers must be in the order of 6.000 to 8.000
words (including references), and must address one or more of the
conference themes, whether from an empirical or a more conceptual
perspective.
