The system we have been developing enables to map open-domain texts into formulas in higher-order logic that capture a variety of semantic information such as quantification and intensionality. We also discuss how a robust model of lexical knowledge can be integrated into our type-theoretical framework. (Joint work with Pascual Martinez-Gomez, Yusuke Miyao and Daisuke Bekki) Andrew Arana “Complexity of proof and purity of methods” Roughly, a proof of a theorem, is “pure” if it draws only on what is “close” or “intrinsic” to that theorem. Mathematicians employ a variety of terms to identify pure proofs, saying that a pure proof is one that avoids what is “extrinsic”, “extraneous”, “distant”, “remote”, “alien”, or “foreign” to the problem or theorem under investigation. In the background of these attributions is the view that there is a distance measure (or a variety of such measures) between mathematical statements and proofs. Mathematicians have paid little attention to specifying such distance measures precisely because in practice certain methods of proof have seemed self-evidently impure by design: think for instance of analytic geometry and analytic number theory. By contrast mathematicians have paid considerable attention to whether such impurities are a good thing or to be avoided, and some have claimed that they are valuable because generally impure proofs are simpler than pure proofs. This talk is an investigation of this claim, formulated more precisely by proof-theoretic means. Our thesis is that evidence from proof theory does not support this claim. Marco Panza “The twofold role of diagrams in Euclid's geometry” Proposition I.1 of the Elements is, by far, the most popular example used to justify the thesis that many of Euclid's geometric arguments are diagram-based. Many scholars have articulated this thesis in different ways and argued for it. I suggest to reformulate it in a quite general way, by describing what I take to be the twofold role that diagrams play in Euclid's plane geometry (EPG). Euclid's arguments are object dependent. They are about geometric objects. Hence, they cannot be diagram-based unless diagrams are supposed to have an appropriate relation with these objects. I take this relation to be a quite peculiar sort of representation. Its peculiarity depends on the two following claims that I shall argue for: (i) The identity conditions of EPG objects are provided by the identity conditions of the diagrams that represent them; (ii) EPG objects inherit some properties and relations from these diagrams. Alberto Naibo “Representing inferences and proofs: the case of harmony and conservativity” Traditionally, proof-theoretic semantics focuses on the study of logical theories from a general point of view, rather than on specific mathematical theories. Yet, when mathematical theories are analyzed, they seem to behave quite differently from purely logical theories. A well-known example has been given by Prawitz (1994): adding of a set of inferentially harmonious rules to arithmetic does not always guarantee to obtain a theory which is a conservative extension of arithmetic itself. This means that outside logic the nice correspondence between harmony and conservativity (advocated for example by Dummett (1991)) seems to be broken. However, as it has been pointed out by Sundholm (1998), this is not necessarily a consequence due to the passage from a logical setting to a mathematical one. It could depend also on the way in which proofs are represented. In particular, if proofs are seen as composed by rules which act on judgments involving proof-objects, rather than on rules which a ct on propositions, then the aforementioned correspondence can be in fact be reestablished. An analysis of this phenomenon is proposed. In particular, two different ways of representing proof-objects are taken into consideration: the Church-style presentation and the Curry-style presentation. It is then shown that a crucial difference can be obtained by choosing the first rather than the second. Bibliographical references: Dummett, M. (1991). The Logical Basis of Metaphysics.

Florencia Di Rocco “Logic and Mathematics of Japanese Counters'' Either a feature of a “conceptual scheme'' -Quine- or a triviality of “syntax'' -Peyraube, Thekla-, the function of counters is traditionally think as that of getting “individuals'' out from the noun they apply to. I will challenge this classical approach by a contextualist position in philosophy of language. Extending linguistics -Hashimoto, Chao- from Chinese to Japanese, I will present counters as operators enlightening contextual relevant features. Through every-day examples in Japanese, we will show how counters work as Austin's “adjuster words'', their “logic'' being ascribed to the dynamics of “language games'' -Wittgenstein- or “rules of adjustment of salience'' in a “well-run conversation'' -David Lewis-. This position will progressively lead to the idea that counting operations do not necessarily deal with “individuals''. We will thus raise up a certain number of problems related to philosophy of mathematics, logic and pragmatics concerned in the use of Jap anese counters -such as the link between unities and individuals, counting and measuring, and between numbers, counters and ordinary concepts- and sketch a wittgensteinian type of answer. By showing their contextual plasticity, I will challenge the mere idea of the existence of rigid “counter words''. お問い合わせ先: 慶應義塾大学文学部岡田研究室内三田ロジックセミナー講演会事務局 E-mail：logic [AT] abelard.flet.keio.ac.jp 主催：慶應義塾大学論理と感性のグローバルリサーチセンター共催：慶應義塾大学次世代研究プロジェクト論理思考の次世代型研究と論理的思考力発達支援への応用研究

MT-CPS Call for Abstracts (Vienna, April 11 2016)
by Ichiro Hasuo 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

みなさま，東京大学の蓮尾です．物理情報システム分野の一大イベント CPS Week （次回はウィーン開催です）のワークショップの一つ， MT-CPS の論文募集をお送りします．今回が初開催のインフォーマルなワークショップですが， CPS のモニタリング・テストは産業界との協働も盛んな，近年活発な分野です．ぜひ投稿・参加をご検討ください．どうかよろしくお願いいたします．蓮尾一郎 http://www-mmm.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~ichiro/ ============== Call for Abstracts 1st Workshop on Monitoring and Testing of Cyber-Physical Systems Part of CPS Week 2016 11 April 2016, Vienna, Austria http://mtcps16.ait.ac.at/ Description ------------------------------------ Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are integrations of heterogeneous collaborative entities that interact between themselves and with their physical environment. CPS exhibit complex and unpredictable behaviors, thus making their correctness and robustness analysis a challenging task. In order to address their full complexity, there is an emergent need for formal, yet efficient and scalable methods for the verification and analysis of CPS. Light-weight verification techniques, such as monitoring and testing, achieve both rigour and efficiency by enabling the evaluation of systems according to the properties of their individual behaviours. The MT CPS workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in the problems of detecting, testing, measuring and extracting qualitative and quantitative properties from CPS behaviors. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Specification languages for monitoring and testing - Runtime verification and monitoring - Black-box and white-box testing - Measuring and statistical information gathering - Simulation-based verification and parameter synthesis - Diagnostics, error localization and repair - Combination of static and dynamic analysis - Applications and case studies Workshop Format ------------------------------------ MT CPS workshop is intended to be a forum for exchanging the latest scientific trends between researchers and practitioners interested in the field of light-weight verification and analysis of CPS. As a consequence, the workshop will NOT have formal proceedings. We encourage submission of abstracts that address any of the aforementioned topics of interest and cover recently published results as well as the work in progress. Important Dates ------------------------------------ Abstract submission deadline: February 14, 2016 Notification: March 5, 2016 Early registration: March 10, 2016 Workshop: April 11, 2016 Submission instructions ------------------------------------ Abstracts are submitted via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mtcps2016. Abstracts should be in PDF form, up to 2 pages in length with 1-inch margins and at least 10-point font size, and may contain up to two figures. Abstracts should list the full names, affiliations, and contact information of all authors, and the submission should indicate whether the abstract will be presented as a poster, orally, or both. Abstracts will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Those that are selected for oral and poster presentations will be distributed to workshop participants and posted on the workshop website.
