          SYNTAX MEETS SEMANTICS (SYSMICS 2016)

===================================================

          5-9 September 2016, Barcelona (Spain)

    ***** (PRELIMINARY) CALL FOR ABSTRACTS *****

Scope
---------
Substructural logics are formal reasoning systems that refine
classical logic by weakening structural rules in a Gentzen-style
sequent calculus. Intuitionistic, many-valued, linear logics, are
typical examples. Traditionally, substructural logics have been
investigated using proof theoretic and algebraic methods. In recent
years, combined approaches have started to emerge.  The programme of
the SYSMICS conference will focus on interactions between syntactic
and semantic methods in substructural logics. This open conference is
the first of a series of meetings planned in the SYSMICS RISE project
(http://logica.dmi.unisa.it/sysmics/) during 2016-2019.
