Call for Papers
WoLLIC <http://wollic.org> 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
Seventeenth WoLLIC will be held in Brasília, Brazil, from July 6th to
9th, 2010. It is sponsored by theAssociation for Symbolic Logic
<http://www.aslonline.org> (ASL), the Interest Group in Pure and Applied
Logics <http://www.cin.ufpe.br/%7Eigpl> (IGPL), the The Association for
Logic, Language and Information <http://www.folli.org> (FoLLI),
the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science
<http://www.eatcs.org> (EATCS), the Sociedade Brasileira de Computação
<http://www.sbc.org.br> (SBC), and the Sociedade Brasileira de Lógica
<http://www.cle.unicamp.br/sbl/> (SBL).
*Special Event*
2010 will mark the 50-th anniversary of the first publication of Paul
Halmos' classic book /Naïve Set Theory/ by Springer Verlag. WoLLIC will
celebrate this by screening the documentary about Paul Halmos which was
directed by George Csicsery: "I want to be a mathematician. A
conversation with Paul Halmos" http://zalafilms.com/films/halmos.html
*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;
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The paper's main results must not be published or submitted for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 2010 EasyChair website (soon to be announced). A title and
single-paragraph abstract should be submitted by February 28, and the
full paper by March 7 (firm date). Notifications are expected by April
12, and final papers for the proceedings will be due by May 3 (firm date).
*Proceedings*
The proceedings of WoLLIC 2010, including both invited and contributed
papers, will be published in advance of the meeting as a volume in
Springer's LNCS <http://www.springer.com/lncs> series (TBC). 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 2010 issue of a scientific
journal (soon to be announced).
*Invited Speakers*
