by jean-yves beziau

The Paraconsistent Newsletter Winter-Summer 2021 is now released, including papers, books, events, videos of interest for paraconsistentists: http://www.paraconsistency.org/2021winter-summer In the present edition there is an interview with Peter Schotch, father of preservationism. And in the video section there is the full version of the movie "The Spirit of Contradiction" about Newton da Costa. Moreover, as always, you can win free holidays to the island of inconsistency if you find the author of the seasonal declaration. Enjoy ! JYB

[SIAS 2021] Symposium on Intelligent and Autonomous Systems

by Symposium IAS

Symposium on Intelligent and Autonomous Systems (SIAS 2021) Tallinn, Estonia. June 21-23, 2021. <https://www.sscc.fr/SIAS2021/> https://www.sscc.fr/SIAS2021/ in conjunction with " <https://cs.ttu.ee/events/medi2021/> 10th International Conference on Model and Data Engineering (MEDI 2021)" SIAS 2021 CFP The needs of our daily life push forward modern systems to be well connected more user independent, autonomous, and smart. Intelligent and Autonomous Systems (IAS), that support IoT and CPS, facilitate difficult daily tasks in large eras of applications, especially in industry where a large amount of collected data should be efficiently analyzed in order to be optimally exploited. IAS offer a great importance and promising outcomes with a direct impact on a society safety, productivity, and development. The difficulty arises on both sides of either developing new IAS or enhancing the deployed ones with the needed features and capabilities. IAS run on different environments and should follow different standards that make it difficult to ensure IAS requirements. Many solutions were developed in academia and applied by industrial to build a smart and autonomous system. Some of them rely on formal methods and system engineering whereas others look forward on big data and data analysis using mainly artificial intelligence techniques, in addition to other research areas such as networking, security, resiliency, etc. SIAS2021 provides a platform for professionals from academia, government, and industry to discuss how to address the increasing challenges facing IAS.

27th WoLLIC 2021 - Call for Papers

by Ruy Jose Guerra Barretto de Queiroz

[Please circulate. Apologies for multiple copies.] CALL FOR PAPERS WoLLIC 2021 27th Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation October 5 to 8, 2021 ORGANISATION Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil University College London, UK 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 online from October 5 to 8, 2021. 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 (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wollic2021 ). PROCEEDINGS The proceedings of WoLLIC 2021, 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 2021 issue of a scientific journal (to be confirmed).

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."
