皆様、北陸先端科学技術大学院大学の佐野勝彦です。今年 10/24, 10/25 に台湾で開催される Logic Colloquiumについてご案内いたします。佐野勝彦 --- The Second Taiwan Philosophical Logic Colloquium (2014 TPLC) Call for Papers 24th (Fri.) -- 25th (Sat.) October, 2014 The Program for Logic, Mind and Methodology (LMM), Department of Philosophy, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan DEADLINE OF THE SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS: August 31st, 2014 DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLOQUIUM The 2014 TPLC is the second of the series of Taiwan Philosophical Logic Colloquium, which is one of two series of biennial conferences established since 2012 and based in The Program for Logic, Mind and Methodology (LMM), Department of Philosophy, National Taiwan University, Taiwan. (The other one is the series of Taiwan Metaphysics Colloquium, established since 2013.) Each event in these two series by and large runs in one/two days only. We usually invite one or two distinguished philosophers/logicians as keynote speakers and 3-4 distinguished scholars from Asian and Australasian regions together with several contributed papers. We hope that the establishment of these two series will make a rewarding and inspiring series of events so as to promote the development of metaphysics and philosophical logic in Asian area, especially in Taiwan. In particular, the aim of the series of Taiwan Philosophical Logic Colloquium is to bring together a group of logical-minded philosophers and a group of logicians with philosophical orientation. We intend, via the establishment of this series, to provide a forum for dialogues amongst philosophers and logicians with regard to a variety of significant issues and topics from philosophical and logical perspective, respectively. 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 philosophical concepts in metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of logic/mathematics, and their applications in computer science and cognitive science. KEYNOTE SPEAKERS FOR THE 2014 TPLC Robert Goldblatt, ``Admissible semantics for modal logic with quantifier'' (School of Mathematics, Statistics and Operations Research, Victoria University, New Zealand.) Hiroakira Ono, ``On interpolation properties'' (Japan Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), Japan) INVITED SPEAKERS FOR THE 2014 TPLC Chen Bo (Peking University, China); Hanti Lin (Australia National University, Australia; UC Davis, USA) Fenrong Liu (Tsinghua University, China) Tomoyuki Yamada (Hokkaido University, Japan); SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS All researchers working on various aspects of philosophical logic are cordially invited to submit their abstracts by August 31st, 2014.

Joshua S. S. [bookitchen(a)gmail.com.]) Each submission will be reviewed. The Colloquium is open to everyone, and practical info will be available soon on the website. SPECIAL OFFER FOR SPEAKERS FROM ABROAD Contributed papers from international scholars are highly appreciated. There will be a possibility of giving support of accommodation during the conference to speakers from abroad. Please take a contact with Syraya C. M. Yang (cmyang(a)ntu.edu.tw). However, it is strongly recommended that as long as you have decided to submit an abstract, please send us a note at your convenience as hotel-room preservation can be made the earlier the easier. POST-CONFERENCE PUBLICATION: We are planning to publish a post-conference proceedings for the 2014 TPLC once we get enough number of submissions of high quality. We have already taken a contact with editor-in-chief of LIAA book series concerning with this matter. The LIAA (``Logic in Asia'') is a new established publication project for a series of logic books from Springer. See http://www.springer.com/series/13080.

Newer standards, such as DO-178C (avionics) and ISO 26262 (automotive), emphasize the need for formal methods and model-based development, speeding up the adaptation of such methods in industry. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and engineers who are interested in the application of formal and semi-formal methods to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems. In particular, FTSCS strives strives to promote research and development of formal methods and tools for industrial applications, and is particularly interested in industrial applications of formal methods. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: * case studies and experience reports on the use of formal methods for analyzing safety-critical systems, including avionics, automotive, medical, and other kinds of safety-critical and QoS-critical systems * methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis, certification, debugging, etc., of complex safety/QoS-critical systems * analysis methods that address the limitations of formal methods in industry (usability, scalability, etc.) * formal analysis support for modeling languages used in industry, such as AADL, Ptolemy, SysML, SCADE, Modelica, etc. * code generation from validated models. The workshop will provide a platform for discussions and the exchange of innovative ideas, so submissions on work in progress are encouraged. Submission: We solicit submissions reporting on: A- original research contributions (15 pages max, LNCS format); B- applications and experiences (15 pages max, LNCS format); C- surveys, comparisons, and state-of-the-art reports (15 pages max, LNCS); D- tool papers (5 pages max, LNCS format); E- position papers and work in progress (5 pages max, LNCS format) related to the topics mentioned above.
