by jean-yves beziau 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

The next session of the Logica Universalis Webinar will be Wednesday December 14 at 4pm CET. Speaker:Šejla Dautović http://www.mi.sanu.ac.rs/novi_sajt/members/fulltime/sejla.php Title: A Probabilistic Logic Between LPP1 and LPP2 Abstract: An extension of the propositional probability logic LPP2 given in Ognjanović et al. (Probability Logics. Probability-Based Formalization of Uncertain Reasoning, Theoretical Springer, Cham, Switzerland, 2016) that allows mixing of propositional formulas and probabilistic formulas is introduced. We describe the corresponding class of models, and we show that the problem of deciding satisfiability is in NP. We provide infinitary axiomatization for the logic and we prove that the axiomatization is sound and strongly complete. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11787-022-00301-z Associate Organization: Seminar for Mathematical Logic, Belgrade, Serbia Presented by its chairman: Predrag Tanović Chair: Raja Natarajan Editorial Board Logica Universalis Everybody is welcome to attend https://www.springer.com/journal/11787/updates/20065848 Jean-Yves Beziau Organizer of LUW and Editor-in-Chief LU http://www.jyb-logic.org/

ESSLLI 2023: Second Call for Course and Workshop Proposals
by Kontinen, Juha A 02 Dec '22

02 Dec '22

Call for Course and Workshop Proposals 34th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information – ESSLLI 2023 31 July–11 August, 2023, Ljubljana, Slovenia https://2023.esslli.eu/ Important Dates 13 January 2023: Course Title submission deadline (mandatory) 20 January 2023: Final submission 3 March 2023: Notification Introduction Under the auspices of the Association for Logic, Language, and Information (FoLLI), the European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI) runs every year. Except for 2021, where the school was virtual, it runs in a different European country each year. It takes place over two weeks in the summer, hosts approximately 50 different courses at both introductory and advanced levels, and attracts around 400 participants from all over the world. Since 1989, ESSLLI has been providing outstanding interdisciplinary educational opportunities in the fields of Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Linguistics, Logic, Philosophy, and beyond. It comes from a community which recognizes that advances in our common areas require the contributions of multiple interrelated disciplines. The main focus of ESSLLI is the interface between linguistics, logic and computation, with special emphasis in human linguistic and cognitive ability. Courses, both introductory and advanced, cover a wide variety of topics within the combined areas of interest: Logic and Computation, Computation and Language, and Language and Logic. Workshops are also organized, providing opportunities for in-depth discussion of issues at the forefront of research, as well as a series of invited evening lectures. Topics and Format Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI 2023 are invited in all areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computer Sciences. Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged. Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two-week courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one. In such cases, the ESSLLI program committee reserves the right to accept just one of the two proposals. All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a minimum. However, organizers and instructors have their registration fees waived, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses up to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal notification. ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one course/workshop organizer, and cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe. The ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the School's expenses by seeking partial or complete coverage of travel and accommodation expenses from other sources. Categories Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories. Foundational Courses Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to people with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be of elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant discipline. They should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary nature of our research community. Introductory Courses Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are intended to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop some comfort and competence in the topic considered. Introductory courses in a cross-disciplinary area may presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines. Advanced Courses Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current research of a field. Workshops Workshops focus on specialized topics, usually of current interest. Workshop organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and selecting the workshop program. They are also responsible for publishing proceedings if they decide to have proceedings. Proposal Guidelines Course and workshop proposals should closely follow these guidelines to ensure full consideration. Course and Workshop proposals can be submitted by no more than two lecturers/organizers and they are presented by no more than these two lecturers/organizers. All instructors and organizers must possess a PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline. Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course category. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the intended level, for example as it relates to standard textbooks and monographs in the area. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in detail. Proposals of Courses given at ESSLLI the previous year will have a lower priority of being accepted in the current year. Proposals must be in PDF format include all of the following: 1. Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact address, email, homepage (optional) 2. General proposal information: Title, category 3. Contents information: a. Abstract of up to 150 words b. Motivation and description (up to two pages) c. Tentative outline d. Expected level and prerequisites e. Appropriate references (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings, surveys) 4. Information on the proposer and course: a. Will your course appeal to students outside of the main discipline of the course? b. Include information on your experience in the intensive one-week interdisciplinary setting c. Include evidence that the course proposer is an excellent lecturer 5. Information from workshop organizers: a. Include information on relevant preceding meetings and events, if applicable b. Include information about potential external funding for participants Submission Information By January 13, 2023: You are asked to submit in EasyChair at least the name(s) of the instructor(s), the ESSLLI area+course level and a short abstract. By January 20: Your submission must be completed by uploading a PDF with the actual proposal as detailed above. Submission Portal Please submit your proposals to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2023 Childcare If there is enough interest, ESSLLI will provide information on private child care services available during the summer school. EACSL Sponsorship The EACSL will support one Logic and Computation course or workshop addressing topics of interest to Computer Science Logic (CSL) conferences. The selected course or workshop will be designated an EACSL course/workshop in the programme. If you wish to be considered for this, please indicate so in your proposal.

Logic, Spatial Algorithms and Visual Reasoning / Logics in Fungal
by jean-yves beziau 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

The next LUW (Logica Universalis Webinar) session will be Nov 30 at 4pm CET Speaker: Andrew Adamatzky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Adamatzky Title: Logics in Fungal Mycelium Networks Abstract: The living mycelium networks are capable of efficient sensorial fusion over very large areas and distributed decision making. The information processing in the mycelium networks is implemented via propagation of electrical and chemical signals en pair with morphological changes in the mycelium structure. These information processing mechanisms are manifested in experimental laboratory findings that show that the mycelium networks exhibit rich dynamics of neuron-like spiking behaviour and a wide range of non-linear electrical properties. On an example of a single real colony of Aspergillus niger, we demonstrate that the non-linear transformation of electrical signals and trains of extracellular voltage spikes can be used to implement logical gates and circuits. The approaches adopted include numerical modelling of excitation propagation on the mycelium network, representation of the mycelium network as a resistive and capacitive network and an experimental laboratory study on mining logical circuits in mycelium bound composites. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11787-022-00318-4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Presentation of the special issue of LU including this paper edited by Andrew Schumann and Jens Lemanski "Logic, Spatial Algorithms and Visual Reasoning" https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11787-022-00311-x ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Everybody is welcome to join: https://www.springer.com/journal/11787/updates/20065848 Jean-Yves Beziau, Editor-in-Chief LU and Organizer of LUW http://www.jyb-logic.org/
