[Please circulate. Apologies for multiple copies.] CALL FOR PAPERS WoLLIC 2020 27th Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation August 4th to 7th, 2020 Lima, Peru ORGANISATION Universidad de Ingenieria y Tecnologia, Lima, Peru Centro de Informática, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil 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-seventh WoLLIC will be held at Universidad de Ingenieria y Tecnologia, Lima, Peru from August 4th to 7th, 2020. It is scientifically 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), ACM Special Interest Group on Logic and Computation (ACM-SIGLOG) (TBC), 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; philosophy of mathematics; philosophical logic; philosophy of language. 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. Articles should be written in the LaTeX format of LNCS by Springer (see authors instructions at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). They must not exceed 12 pages, 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 The paper's main results must not be published or submitted for publication in refereed venues, including journals and other scientific meetings.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. (At least one author is required to pay the registration fee before granting that the paper will be published in the proceedings.) Papers must be submitted electronically at the WoLLIC 2020 EasyChair website. (Please go to http://wollic.org/wollic2020/instructions.html for instructions.) PROCEEDINGS The proceedings of WoLLIC 2020, 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 (after a new round of reviewing) as a special post-conference WoLLIC 2020 issue of a scientific journal (to be confirmed). INVITED SPEAKERS (tba) STUDENT GRANTS ASL sponsorship of WoLLIC 2020 will permit ASL student members to apply for a limited travel grant (deadline: 90 days before the event starts).

It is a joint production (still on its course) of The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) and George Csicsery (Zala Films): ‘Secrets of the Surface - The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani’. “The biographical film is about Maryam Mirzakhani, a brilliant woman, and Muslim immigrant to the United States who became a superstar in her field. The story of her life will be complemented with sections about Mirzakhani’s mathematical contributions, as explained by colleagues and illustrated with animated sequences. Throughout, we will look for clues about the sources of Mirzakhani’s insights and creativity."
