- There will be student sessions in the late afternoon/early evening of some days of the School in which students will give short presentations of work in progress. Students are invited to submit an abstract of maximum 3 pages on any topic in logic, language and computation. The abstract should be written properly in English, and must be in PDF format and be submitted to our EasyChair websitehttps://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=easllc2012stus.
