Talk by Petr Cintula (29 Oct 11:00-)

27 Oct '15

(重複して受け取られた場合はご容赦ください) 京都大学数理解析研究所の佐藤です。 10月29日11:00から、チェコ科学アカデミーのPetr Cintula氏に以下の講演をしていただくことになりましたので、ご連絡いたします。どうぞお気軽にお越しください。 ========== Time: 11:00-12:00, 29 Oct, 2015 Place: Rm 478, Research Building 2, Main Campus, Kyoto University 京都大学本部構内総合研究2号館 4階478号室 http://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/access/yoshida/main.html (Building 34) http://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ja/access/campus/map6r_y.htm (34番の建物) Speaker: Petr Cintula (The Czech Academy of Sciences) Title: Logic and mathematics with lattice-valued predicates Abstract: Classical predicate logic interprets n-ary predicates as mappings from the n-th power of a given domain into the two-valued boolean algebra 2. The idea of replacing 2 by a more general structure is very natural and was shown to lead to a very interesting mathematics: prime examples are the boolean-valued or Heyting-valued models of set theory (or even more general models proposed by Takeuti & Titani (1992), Titani (1999), and Hajek & Hanikova (2001)). In the first part of the talk we present a framework for the study of logics where predicates can take values in a lattice (with additional operators) from a given class satisfying certain minimal conditions (our framework covers previous approaches of Rasiowa & Sikorski (1963), Horn (1969), Rasiowa (1974), Hajek (1998), and others). For each such logic we first describe its `propositional' part and then use it to give an axiomatization of the full first-order logic. The second part of the talk shows that the proposed logical formalism is rich enough to support non-trivial mathematical theories. We illustrate it by proving `graded' variant of the well-know relation between equivalences and partitions. The goal of the example is to illustrate the contrast between very general semantical interpretation of the proven fact and its almost classical proof.

皆様来年6月にポルトガルのポルトで開催されます FSCD 2016 の論文募集をご案内致します。書換えとラムダ計算のホームカンファレンスである RTA と TLCA は長らく RDP として共催されてきましたが、先の会議でついに統合が実現しまして、今回より Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD) として開催されます。皆様、ぜひ論文の投稿をご検討下さい。廣川　直 (JAIST) ----------------------------------------------------------------- PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS First International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD'16) 22 June -- 26 June 2016, Porto, Portugal http://fscd2016.dcc.fc.up.pt/ ========================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission: 29 January 2016 Paper Submission : 5 February 2016 Rebuttal : 21 - 23 March 2016 Notification : 6 April 2016 ========================================================================== FSCD (http://fscdconference.org/) covers all aspects of formal structures for computation and deduction from theoretical foundations to applications. Building on two communities, RTA (Rewriting Techniques and Applications) and TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications), FSCD embraces their core topics and broadens their scope to closely related areas in logics, proof theory and new emerging models of computation such as quantum computing and homotopy type theory. The name of the new conference comes from an unpublished but important book by Gerard Huet that strongly influenced many researchers in the area. Suggested, but not exclusive, list of topics for submission are: 1 Calculi * Lambda calculus * Logics (first-order, higher-order, equational, modal, linear, classical, constructive, etc.) * Rewriting systems (string, term, higher-order, graph, conditional, modulo, infinitary, etc.) * Proof theory (natural deduction, sequent calculus, proof nets, etc.) * Type theory and logical frameworks * Homotopy type theory 2. Methods in Computation and Deduction * Type systems (polymorphism, dependent, recursive, intersection, session, etc.) * Induction, coinduction * Matching, unification, completion, orderings * Strategies (normalization, completeness, etc.) * Tree automata * Model building and model checking * Proof search (resolution, paramodulation, narrowing, focusing, etc.) * Constraint solving and decision procedures 3. Semantics * Operational semantics and abstract machines * Game Semantics and applications * Domain theory and categorical models * Quantitative models (timing, probabilities, resources, etc.) * Quantum computation and emerging models in computation 4. Algorithmic Analysis and Transformations of Formal Systems * Type Inference and type checking * Abstract Interpretation * Complexity analysis and implicit computational complexity * Checking termination, confluence, derivational complexity and related properties * Symbolic computation 5. Tools and Applications * Programming and proof environments (proof assistants, automated theorem prover, proof checkers, specialized provers, dependently typed languages, etc.) * Verification tools (abstract interpretation, termination, confluence, specialized provers, etc.) * Libraries for proof assistants and interactive theorem provers (support for variable bindings, nominal, polynomial, equality, etc.) * Case studies in proof assistants and interactive theorem provers (formalizations, mechanizations, certifications) * Certifications (theorems, rewriting techniques, etc.) * Applications of formal systems inside and outside of CS (biology, linguistics, physics, education, etc.) INVITED SPEAKERS Amal Ahmed (USA) Ichiro Hasuo (Japan) Gerard Huet (France) Tobias Nipkow (Germany) PROGRAM CHAIRS Delia Kesner (Univ.

Workshop on Williamson’s Philosophy First Announcement– Call for Papers 6(Thursday) − 7(Friday) October, 2016 The Program for Logic, Mind and Methodology (LMM), Department of Philosophy, National Taiwan University, Taiwan http://www.philo.ntu.edu.tw/lmmgroup/ <https://mail.ntu.edu.tw/owa/redir.aspx?SURL=VQSmOL0kp3hcT3CTqb3Xk6CFzdirbbX…> You are cordially invited to submit an abstract of a contributed talk to the Workshop on Williamson's Philosophy, to be held during the Joint Conference of AWPL-TPLC 2016. Deadline of the submission: 30 April, 2016. Introduction This will be a one-day plus workshop on Timothy Williamson’s philosophy, hosted by the Department of Philosophy, National Taiwan University, during the joint conference of the 3rd Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic and the 3rd Taiwan Philosophical Logic Colloquium (AWPL-TPLC 2016), which is organized by The Program for Logic, Mind and Methodology (LMM), Department of Philosophy, National Taiwan University, and will be held during 5-8 October 2016. The aim of this conference is to strengthen the connection between logic and philosophy. In particular, we are hoping that more attention in future research will be paid to the study of philosophical logic, specifically, the study of the construction, and application, of logical framework appropriate for not only the analysis of philosophical concepts, but also the theorization of philosophical doctrines. For further information, see http://www.philo.ntu.edu.tw/lmmgroup/ <https://mail.ntu.edu.tw/owa/redir.aspx?SURL=VQSmOL0kp3hcT3CTqb3Xk6CFzdirbbX…> In view of the substantial contribution that Professor Timothy Williamson has made in the last few decades to contemporary philosophy, the organizing committee has set as the ultimate priority to organize a one-day plus workshop on Williamson’s philosophy during the joint conference. This project has been approved by Professor Williamson and more importantly he has accepted our invitation to come and join us on this special occasion. The Core Special attention will be paid to Williamson’s five seminal books: Identity and Discrimination, 2nd ed. (1st ed. 1990), Oxford: Blackwell, 2013. Vagueness, London: Routledge, 1994. Knowledge and Its Limits <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_and_Its_Limits>, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000. The Philosophy of Philosophy, Oxford: Blackwell, 2007. Modal Logic as Metaphysics, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013. The format (The workshop will contain at least 7 sessions) The workshop will start with a keynote speech by Williamson, followed by four sessions on the 6th of October, and will be continued, together with a final session for Williamson’s replies on the 7th of October. 1st session (90 mins): A brief introduction (about 5-10 minutes) of Williamson’s contribution in the last few decades (by the chair) A keynote speech (about 60 minutes plus 10-20 minutes for discussion) by Timothy Williamson 2nd-6th sessions: Each session (90 minutes) focuses on one of Williamson’s five books, and includes 4 parts: (3-5 minutes) An introduction to the book under discussion (by the chair) (60-70 minutes) One talk by an invited speaker, followed by a contributed talk. (10-15 minutes) Williamson’s replies. (10-15 minutes) Discussion 7th session (90 minutes): (5-10 minutes) A summary from the chair (30-40 minutes) a final response from Williamson (especially to the talks which are not included in the special workshop) (20-30 minutes) discussions. Submission of Abstracts for Contributed Talks All researchers who are interested in Williamson’s philosophy are cordially invited to submit their abstracts by 30 April 2016. Authors should submit an (extended) abstract no less than one page but no more than four pages (A4 size, single space). Abstracts must be submitted as PDF files and sent to D.-M. Deng [dmdeng(a)ntu.edu.tw <mailto:dmdeng@ntu.edu.tw>] S.C.-M. Yang [cmyang(a)ntu.edu.tw] Memo: 1. Associated with each book, there is at least one session, containing two talks to address some issues on the themes of that book. 2. The organizing committee have also invited some renowned scholars to focus on the themes of each book, if possible. So far we have invited: Katalin Farkas (Central European University, Hungary, on themes from Identity and Discrimination.) Greg Restall (University of Melbourne, Australia, on themes from Modal Logic as Metaphysics.) Nick Smith (University of Sydney, Australia, on themes from Vagueness) 3. Extra contributed talks will be welcome. If the accepted abstracts for contributed talks on Williamson’s philosophy are more than originally scheduled, the Programme Committee will be very glad to put the extra ones in some other sessions before the conclusion session so that Williamson may have some comments/replies to those speakers as well. 4. A full length manuscript of a contributed talk on this workshop should be sent to the organizer by the 15th of September 2016 in order for Professor Williamson to read it before the workshop. 5. The chair of each session will provide a brief survey of the book (that session focuses on). 6. The organizing committee will try to find some well-known publisher to consider the possibility of publishing a post-conference proceedings, provided this proposal is approved by Williamson. The details will be announced when this proposal is also approved by the publisher. 7. A final remark: Professor Williamson has thoughtfully promised to offer young scholars in Taiwan, who contribute papers to this workshop, a one-on-one tutorial/supervision to discuss their papers before the conference. Tutorial time will be scheduled in two afternoons before the conference. [The details will be announced in due course.] For any enquiry/information please contact: D.-M. Deng (dmdeng(a)ntu.edu.tw <mailto:dmdeng@ntu.edu.tw>) S. C.-M. Yang (cmyang(a)ntu.edu.tw <mailto:cmyang@ntu.edu.tw>)

Each workshop is open to all philosophers and logicians around these regions, who share a certain common interest in a variety of logical/philosophical issues. The scope of the Workshop includes, but not exclusively, the family of non-classical logics, algebraic logic, computer science, cognitive science, linguistics, game theory, etc., and their applications in a variety of philosophical issues. The First Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL-2012) was held at the Research Center for Integrated Science <http://www.jaist.ac.jp/rcis/> (RCIS), Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology <http://www.jaist.ac.jp/> (JAIST) on February 15-17, 2012. More than twenty scholars were invited and a special session for discussing the possibility of collaborations in the near future. It was then widely agreed that the workshop should be extended to a biennial event henceforth. The Second Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL-2014) was held at the Institute of Logic and Cognition, Sun Yat-sen University, April 12-13, 2014. A collection based on some selected papers from AWPL-2014, entitled ‘Modality, Semantic and Interpretation’, was published as the first volume of the book series ‘Logic in Asia’ (LIAA) by Springer. Appendix B INTRODUCTION TO TAIWAN PHILOSOPHICAL LOGIC COLLOQUIUM (TPLC-SERIES) TPLC is a series of biennial conferences established since 2012 and is hosted by Department of Philosophy, National Taiwan University, Taiwan. The aim of the TPLC-series is to provide a forum for dialogues amongst philosophers and logicians with regard to a variety of issues and topics of current interest. We intend to bring together a group of logic-minded philosophers and philosophically oriented logicians so as to promote the development of logic and analytic philosophy in Asian area, especially in Taiwan. The TPLC-series are open not only to interested local scholars. We also invite several distinguished international scholars as plenary/keynote/invited speakers and welcome contributed talks from abroad as well. To strengthen a closer connection with other philosophy communities in the neighbourhood, at the early stage of this series, the invited philosophers and logicians are mainly from Asian and Australasian regions. The scope of this series of colloquium will cover: philosophical logic (in a broad sense), non-classical logics, algebraic logic, all kinds of semantics/logics relating to metaphysical/epistemological concepts and some issues in philosophy of language, philosophy of logic/mathematics, and their applications in computer science and cognitive science. The first Taiwan Philosophical Colloquium (TPLC-2012) was held on December 7, 2012; and TPLC-2014 was held on October 24-25, 2014. Apart from two keynote speeches delivered by Robert Goldblatt and Hiroakira Ono, there were sixteen invited/ contributed talks by scholars from Australia, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Netherlands, and local scholars. A post-conference proceedings of TPLC-2014, entitled Structural Analysis of Non-Classical Logics, will be published as the second volume of the newly established book series ‘Logic in Asia’ (LIAA), by Springer in October 2015.

19 Sep '15

Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees (LATD) 2016 28 - 30 June 2016 Phalaborwa, South Africa First Announcement The fifth instalment of the conference Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees (LATD) will take place in Phalaborwa, South Africa from 28 - 30 June 2016. The conference will be hosted by the Faculty of Science of the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, at the Hans Merensky Hotel, situated on the border of the world renowned Kruger National Park Game Reserve. Detailed travel information is available on the conference website. Mathematical Fuzzy Logic is the sub-discipline of Mathematical Logic that is concerned with the notion of comparative truth. The assumption that "truth comes in degrees" has proved to be very useful in many theoretical and applied areas of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Philosophy. This conference series started as an official meeting of the working group on Mathematical Fuzzy Logic and has evolved into a wider meeting in algebraic logic and related areas. Its main goal is to foster collaboration between researchers in these areas, and to promote communication and cooperation with members of neighbouring fields. We encourage contributions on any relevant aspects of logical systems (including fuzzy, substructural, modal and quantum logics, and many-valued logics in general). The featured topics include: - Proof theory and computational complexity - Algebraic semantics and abstract algebraic logic - First, higher-order and modal formalisms - Applications and foundational issues - Geometric and game theoretic aspects Potential participants are encouraged to complete the expression of interest form: http://www.latd2016.co.za/ExpressionOfInterest.html <http://www.latd2016.co.za/ExpressionOfInterest.html> Important Dates: Deadline for submissions: 24 February 2016 Notification of acceptance: 31 March 2016 Early registration closes: 27 April 2016 Registration closes: 15 June 2016 Conference dates: 28 - 30 June 2016 Programme committee: James Raftery (Chair), University of Pretoria Xavier Caicedo, Universidad de los Andes Agata Ciabattoni, Vienna University of Technology Petr Cintula, Czech Academy of Sciences Nikolaos Galatos, University of Denver Rostislav Horcik, Czech Academy of Sciences Rosalie Iemhoff, Utrecht University, The Netherlands Hiroakira Ono, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Philip Scott, University of Ottawa.
