(U. Bath), Coalgebraic Logic Programming: from Semantics to Implementation;
embracing the laxness (joint with Ekaterina Komendantskaya)
Coinductive definitions, such as that of an infinite stream, may often be
described by elegant logic programs, but ones for which SLD-refutation is
of no value as SLD-derivations fall into infinite loops. Such definitions
give rise to questions of lazy corecursive derivations and parallelism, as
execution of such logic programs can have both recursive and corecursive
features at once. Observational and coalgebraic semantics have been used to
study them abstractly. However, the programming developments have often
occurred separately and have usually been implementation-led.
Here, we start to give a coherent semantics-led account of the issues,
proceeding from abstract category theoretic semantics and developing
coalgebra to try to characterise naturally arising trees. As part of the
project but not presented in this talk, the work is proceeding towards
implementation of a new dialect, CoALP, of logic programming, characterised
by guarded lazy corecursion and parallelism.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The 12th International Workshop on
Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL)
July 13-17, Oxford, United Kingdom
http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/qpl2015
The 12th International Workshop on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL)
will take place at the Department of Computer Science of the University
of Oxford between Wednesday 15 and Friday 17 July, 2015. The
workshop will be preceded by tutorials on Monday 13 and
Tuesday 14 July 2015.
This workshop brings together researchers working on mathematical
foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing, spatio-temporal
causal structures, and related areas such as computational linguistics.
Of particular interest are topics that use logical tools, ordered algebraic
and category-theoretic structures, formal languages, semantical
methods and other computer science methods for the study of physical
behaviour in general.
Previous QPL events were held in Kyoto (2014), Barcelona (2013),
Brussels (2012), Nijmegen (2011), Oxford (2010), Oxford (2009),
Reykjavik (2008), Oxford (2006), Chicago (2005), Turku (2004),
and Ottawa (2003).
INVITED SPEAKERS
Paul Busch (University of York)
Dan Browne (University College London)
Chris Douglas (University of Oxford)
TUTORIALS
Paul Busch (University of York): Quantum uncertainty
Dan Browne (University College London): Teleportation and measurement-
based computation
Oscar Dahlsten (University of Oxford): Entropy and majorisation in
generalised
probabilistic theories
Pawel Sobocinski (University of Southampton): Graphical linear algebra

Notification of Acceptance: June 1
Papers Ready: June 15
Tutorials: July 13-14
Workshop: July 15-17
SUBMISSIONS
Prospective speakers are invited to submit a contribution to the workshop.
- *Short contributions* consist of a 3 page description of the work,
and a link to a paper published elsewhere.
- Longer *original contributions* consist of a 5-12 page extended
abstract which provides sufficient evidence of results of genuine
interest and provides sufficient detail to allow the program
committee to assess the merits of the work. Submissions of works
in progress are encouraged but must be more substantial than a
research proposal.
Extended versions of accepted original research contributions will be
published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
(EPTCS) after the workshop.
Submissions should be prepared using LaTeX, and must be submitted
in PDF format. Use of the EPTCS style is encouraged. Submission is done
via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qpl2015
There will be an award for the best paper whose authors are all students,
at the discretion of the programme committee.
REGISTRATION
Please visit the website to register. We encourage participation by
graduate students, and will be able to provide limited reimbursement
to partially support students for travel and accommodation. Further

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-second WoLLIC will be held at the School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University, from July 20th to 23rd, 2015. It is 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), the European Association for Computer Science Logic (EACSL), 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. 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. They must not exceed 10 pages (in font 10 or higher), 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. Papers must be submitted electronically at the WoLLIC 2015 EasyChair website. (Please go to http://wollic.org/wollic2015/instructions.html <http://wollic.org/wollic2015/instructions.html> for instructions.) A title and single-paragraph abstract should be submitted by Feb 8, 2015, and the full paper by Feb 15, 2015 (firm date). Notifications are expected by Mar 22, 2015, and final papers for the proceedings will be due by Apr 5, 2015 (firm date).
PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings of WoLLIC 2015, 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 as a special post-conference WoLLIC 2015 issue of a scientific journal (to be confirmed).
