AiML-2012: FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

                    ADVANCES IN MODAL LOGIC IX

                    COPENHAGEN, 22-25 AUGUST, 2012 http://hylocore.ruc.dk/aiml2012

Advances in Modal Logic is an initiative aimed at presenting the state of the art in modal

logic and its various applications. The initiative consists of a conference series together with

volumes based on the conferences. Information about the AiML series can be obtained at http:

//www.aiml.net. AiML-2012 is the ninth conference in the series.

TOPICS. We invite submission on all aspects of modal logic, including:

- history and philosophy of modal logic;

- applications of modal logic;

- computational aspects of modal logic (complexity and decidability of modal and temporal logics,

modal and temporal logic programming, model checking, model generation, theorem proving

for modal logics);

- theoretical aspects of modal logic (algebraic/categorical perspectives on modal logic, coalgebraic

modal logic, completeness and canonicity, correspondence and duality theory, manydimensional

modal logics, modal  xed point logics, model theory of modal logic, proof theory

of modal logic);

- specific instances and variations of modal logic (description logics, modal logics over non-boolean

bases, dynamic logics and other process logics, epistemic and deontic logics, modal logics for

agent-based systems, modal logic and game theory, modal logic and grammar formalisms,

provability and interpretability logics, spatial and temporal logics, hybrid logic, intuitionistic

logic, substructural logics, computationally light fragments).

Papers on related subjects will also be considered.

CONFERENCE LOCATION. Advances in Modal Logic 2012 will be held at the IDA conference

center in downtown Copenhagen: http://ida.dk/sites/moedecenter/english/Sider/

EnglishForside.aspx This is in walking distance from Copenhagen Central Station and many

reasonably priced hotels.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS. There will be two types of submissions to AiML-2012: (1) Full papers

for publication in the proceedings and presentation at the conference. (2) Abstracts for short

presentation only. Both types of papers should be submitted electronically using the EasyChair

submission page at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiml2012. At least one author of 

each accepted paper or abstract must register for, and attend, the conference to present

his or her work.

(1) FULL PAPERS. Authors are invited to submit, for presentation at the conference and publication

in the proceedings, full papers reporting on original research and not submitted elsewhere. 

The proceedings of AiML'2012 will be published (in a volume to be made available at the conference) 

by College Publications http://www.collegepublications.co.uk. The submissions should be at most 15 

pages, with an optional technical appendix of up to 5 pages, together with a plain-text abstract of 

100-200 words. The submissions must be typeset in LaTex, using a style file and template that will 

be provided on the AiML'2012 website.

(2) ABSTRACTS. These should be at most 5 pages. They may describe preliminary results, work

in progress etc., and will be subject to light reviewing. The accepted abstracts will be made

available at the conference, and the authors will make short (up to 15 min) presentations on them.

SPECIAL SESSION ON HYBRID LOGIC. Hybrid logic is an extension of modal logic allowing to refer 

explicitly to states of the model in the syntax of formulas. There will be a special session of AiML 

devoted to papers on hybrid logic. The scope of the special session is standard hybrid-logical 

machinery like nominals, satisfaction operators, and the downarrow binder, but also other extensions 

of modal logic can be considered. Papers for this session should be submitted the same way as others.

SPECIAL SESSION IN HONOUR OF LARISA MAKSIMOVA. There will also be a special session of AiML 

devoted to papers and talks in honour of Larisa Maksimova, in recognition of her many outstanding 

contributions to modal logic.

SPECIAL SESSION ON MODALITES FOR TYPES. Recent years have witnessed significant growth of interest 

in constructive type-theoretical modalities, in particular modalities ensuring productivity and type 

safety of (co-)recursive definitions in reactive programming. Some earlier examples include the use 

of modalities for staged computation, metaprogramming or in computational lambda-calculus. In order 

to boost interaction between programming, type-theoretical and modal communities, AiML 2012 will 

host a special session on these topics. Papers for this session should be submitted to the EasyChair site 

along with others.
