================================================= ICLA 2025: Indian Conference on Logic and its Applications Dates: Feb 3 -- 5, 2025 Venue: Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Kolkata, India Website: https://logicindia.org/icla/icla2025 EasyChair CFP page: https://easychair.org/cfp/icla2025 Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icla2025 Abstract registration deadline (extended): Aug 29, 2024 AoE Submission deadline: Aug 29, 2024 AoE =================================================

=================== About the conference ===================

The Indian Conference on Logic and its Applications (ICLA) is the primary conference of the Association for Logic in India (ALI [1]). It is a forum for bringing together researchers from a variety of fields in which formal logic plays a significant and often foundational role: Mathematics, Computer Science, Philosophy, Linguistics and Cognitive Science. A special feature of ICLA is the inclusion of studies in systems of logic in the Indian tradition, as well as historical research on logic. Details of the previous ICLA 2023 can be found at [2], and those of the earlier editions of the conference at the ALI website.

The upcoming ICLA 2025 is the 11th edition of the conference and will take place at the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) Kolkata during February 3 -- 5, 2025.

—------------------------- ICLA 2025 features —-------------------------

* Best paper and best student paper awards; * Two kinds of contributed papers: - Extended abstracts for inclusion in the conference proceedings that will be published in the FoLLI-LNCS series of Springer [3]. The review process for these abstracts will involve a rebuttal phase; - Short abstracts only for presentation in the conference; * Invitation to selected accepted papers of the conference for submission to a special issue of a journal (to be announced in due course); * ALI will co-organize with Jadavpur University, the Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL) which will take place for the first time in India in Kolkata following ICLA 2025.

==================== Submission guidelines ====================

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research in any area of logic and its applications. Please see below for a detailed list of topics.

EasyChair submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icla2025

—-------------------------------------------- Common guidelines for all submissions —--------------------------------------------

1) A submission must either be an extended abstract or a short abstract.

2) Submissions must be in electronic form, and must be submitted through EasyChair via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icla2025.

3) Submissions must be in English and should provide sufficient details to allow the program committee to assess their merits. Each submission must be a single PDF file.

4) Submissions will be peer-reviewed in a single-blind process.

5) Submissions authored or co-authored by PC members are allowed. PC member submissions will however be subject to a higher level of scrutiny than other submissions.

6) For an accepted submission, one of the authors must commit to presenting it at the conference either in person or online.

—------------------------------------------------------ Additional guidelines for extended abstracts —------------------------------------------------------

1) The submission should not exceed 12 pages excluding references, and should adhere to the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes LaTeX2e style [SV]. Detailed proofs of technical results or other supplementary material, if necessary, can be included in a clearly marked appendix or made available via pointers to technical reports which may be read at the discretion of the programme committee. There is no restriction on the length of the appendix.

[SV] https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui...

2) Submissions of previously published works, or concurrent submissions to journals or to other conferences with proceedings, are not allowed. The authors can however make full versions of their submissions available at online repositories such as ArXiv, HAL and ECCC.

3) During the reviewing, there will be a rebuttal phase for extended abstracts which would give the authors an opportunity to respond to the initial reviews. Instructions related to the rebuttal will be communicated to the authors before the rebuttal period.

4) Accepted extended abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings which will appear in the FoLLI Publications on Logic, Language and Information [FoL], a sub-series of Springer LNCS.

[FoL] https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/societies-and-lncs/folli-p...

—------------------------------------------------- Additional guidelines for short abstracts —-------------------------------------------------

1) The submission should be about a page in length describing the main results of the work. Pointers to technical reports detailing the results can be provided.

2) There will be no rebuttal phase for short abstracts.

3) Accepted short abstracts will not be published in the conference proceedings. They will however be made available on the conference website.
