**Apologies for cross-postings**
The interplay between logic and argumentation has a long history, from
ancient Aristotle’s logic to very recent formal argumentation in AI.
This is an interdisciplinary research field, involving researchers
from, e.g., logic, philosophy, artificial intelligence, and law.
The goal of the CLAR 2018 conference is to highlight recent advances
in the two fields of logic and argumentation, respectively, and to
promote communication between researchers in logic and argumentation
within and outside China.
CLAR 2018 takes place at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, 16-17
June 2018. Proceedings will be published in Logic in Asia (Springer,
Studia Logica Library).
We invite submissions of full papers or extended abstracts (see
below), from either the field of logic or the field of argumentation.
We are particularly interested in works crossing the boundaries
between the two (but this is not a requirement). Examples of research
questions of interest are (not exclusively!):
- What are the roles of logic and/or argumentation in social networks?
- How to model legal reasoning, medical reasoning, etc. in logic
and/or argumentation?
- How can we formalize reasoning in game-theoretic situations?
- What are the logical principles, models and patterns of daily life
argumentation?
- What are the logical theories, methods and techniques that can be of
interest to researchers in formal argumentation?
- How can existing logics be represented within existing argumentation
frameworks?
-What are the trade-offs between expressive power and computational
complexity in logic and argumentation?
- How can we model the strength of arguments?
- How can we further develop and apply formal argumentation in AI?
- How to identify and formalize argumentation in natural language texts?
We invite two types of submissions: full papers (max 12 pages in LNCS
format) describing original and unpublished work and extended
abstracts (max 5 pages in LNCS format) of preliminary original work or
already published work. Accepted full papers will be published in a
volume of Springer’s Logic in Asia series (Studia Logica Library).
Accepted submissions of both types will be invited for presentation at
the conference.
Authors of accepted submissions will also be invited to submit
extended versions to a special issue of Journal of Applied Logic,
after the conference.

FINAL Call For Papers

NOTE: DEADLINE EXTENSION
=========================
FLOPS 2018: 14th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming
In-Cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN
===============================
9-11 May, 2018, Nagoya, Japan
http://www.sqlab.jp/FLOPS2018/
Writing down detailed computational steps is not the only way of
programming. The alternative, being used increasingly in practice, is
to start by writing down the desired properties of the result. The
computational steps are then (semi-)automatically derived from these
higher-level specifications. Examples of this declarative style
include functional and logic programming, program transformation and
re-writing, and extracting programs from proofs of their correctness.
FLOPS aims to bring together practitioners, researchers and
implementors of the declarative programming, to discuss mutually
interesting results and common problems: theoretical advances, their
implementations in language systems and tools, and applications of
these systems in practice. The scope includes all aspects of the
design, semantics, theory, applications, implementations, and teaching
of declarative programming. FLOPS specifically aims to
promote cross-fertilization between theory and practice and among
different styles of declarative programming.
Scope
FLOPS solicits original papers in all areas of the declarative
programming:
* functional, logic, functional-logic programming, re-writing
systems, formal methods and model checking, program transformations
and program refinements, developing programs with the help of theorem
provers or SAT/SMT solvers;
* foundations, language design, implementation issues (compilation
techniques, memory management, run-time systems), applications and
case studies.
FLOPS promotes cross-fertilization among different styles of
declarative programming. Therefore, submissions must be written to be
understandable by the wide audience of declarative programmers and
researchers. Submission of system descriptions and declarative pearls
are especially encouraged.
Submissions should fall into one of the following categories:
* Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will
be judged on originality, correctness, and significance.
* System descriptions: they should contain a link to a working
system and will be judged on originality, usefulness, and design.
* Declarative pearls: new and excellent declarative programs or
theories with illustrative applications.
System descriptions and declarative pearls must be explicitly marked
as such in the title.
Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally
published workshops proceedings may be submitted. See also ACM SIGPLAN
Republication Policy.
Proceedings
The proceedings will be published by Springer International Publishing
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series
(www.springer.com/lncs), as a printed volume as well as online in the
digital library SpringerLink.
Post-proceedings: The authors of 4-7 best papers will be invited to
submit the extended version of their FLOPS paper to a special issue of
the journal Science of Computer Programming (SCP).
Important dates
29 November 2017 (any time zone): Abstract Submission (extended)
4 December 2017 (any time zone): Submission deadline (extended)

9-11 May 2018: FLOPS Symposium
Invited Speakers
William E. Byrd, University of Utah, USA
Zhenjiang Hu, National Institute of Informatics, SOKENDAI, Japan
+ 3rd speaker to be announced
Submission
Submissions must be written in English and can be up to 15 pages long
including references, though pearls are typically shorter. The
formatting has to conform to Springer's guidelines. Regular research
papers should be supported by proofs and/or experimental results. In
case of lack of space, this supporting information should be made
accessible otherwise (e.g., a link to a Web page, or an appendix).
Papers should be submitted electronically at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=flops2018
