8th SCANDINAVIAN LOGIC SYMPOSIUM 20-21 August 2012 at Roskilde University,
DENMARK

Third Announcement and Call for Papers

The 8th Scandinavian Logic Symposium will be held at Roskilde University, Trekroner,
Denmark, 20-21 August 2012.

After a gap of fifteen years, the Scandinavian Logic Symposium is back. The
Symposium is the first major initiative of the newly revived Scandinavian Logic Society (SLS,
http://scandinavianlogic.org/) and will be held at Roskilde University (RUC), Denmark.

As with previous editions of this conference, the aim of the programme is to reflect current
activity in logic in our part of the world. So we hope that participants from Scandinavia, the Baltic
countries and Northwestern Russia will take the opportunity to contribute a talk and to meet
with fellow logicians from the area. But needless to say, we also extend a warm welcome to
logicians from further afield and plan to present a varied and interesting collection of invited and
contributed talks.

TOPICS
The scope of SLS 2012 is broad, ranging over the whole area of mathematical and philosophical logic, and logical methods in computer science. Suitable topics include (but are not limited to):

• Proof Theory and Constructivism
• Model Theory (including Finite Model Theory)
• Set Theory
• Computability Theory
• Categorical Logic
• Logic and Provability
• Logic and Computer Science
• Logic and Linguistics
• Modal, Hybrid, Temporal, and Description Logic
• Logics of Games, Dynamics and Interaction
• Philosophy of Mathematics
• Philosophy of Computation
• Philosophy of Logic
• Philosophical Logic

The Program Committee is delighted to announce the names of the four invited speakers:

• Nikolaj Bjorner
• Rosalie Iemhoff (sponsored by The Danish Network for the History and Philosophy of Mathematics)
• Per Martin-L�f
• Boban Velickovic

SLS TUTORIALS
On August 22nd,  the day after the symposium finishes, a number of tutorials for PhD-students (or anyone else who is interested) will be given. These are intended to start from a relatively elementary level and lead on to current research problems.
The following tutorial lectures have been confirmed so far:

• Lars Kristiansen - "Honest subrecursive degree theory"
• Sara Negri  - "Labelled proof systems for modal logic"
• M. H. S�rensen - "Curry-Howard Isomorphism"

Also note that Advances in Modal Logic (AiML) will be held on 22-25

STUDENT GRANTS
We are happy to announce that the ASL is sponsoring SLS2012. Among other things, this means that student ASL members may apply for ASL travel funds that are available for sponsored meetings.
(see http://www.aslonline.org/studenttravelawards.html). 

LOCATION
Roskilde University (RUC) is situated at Trekroner, a small town 20 minutes by train from
Central Copenhagen, and five minutes by train from Roskilde.

ACCOMMODATION
Most people who work at RUC and almost all the RUC students live in Copenhagen. Getting
to RUC is an easy train journey from the centre of Copenhagen. We anticipate that most
conference attendees will book hotels in central Copenhagen, where there are many hotels
in many price ranges. Hotel accommodation can also be found in Roskilde, though there the
options are more limited.

REGISTRATION
The conference website will be found at:

Details concerning registration will be posted there in due course.
