AiML-2012: FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (WITH DEADLINE EXTENSION)

9-TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCES IN MODAL LOGIC COPENHAGEN, 22-25 AUGUST, 2012

http://hylocore.ruc.dk/aiml2012.html

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 of modal logic - 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, many-dimensional modal logics, modal fixed 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 of all such logics)

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:

This is in easy walking distance from Copenhagen Central Station and a number of 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) Short presentations intended for presentation at AiML but not for the published proceedings. All submissions should be submitted electronically using our EasyChair page

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiml2012

At least one author of each accepted paper or short presentation must register for, and attend, the conference.

(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 by College Publications (http://www.collegepublications.co.uk) in a volume to be made available at the conference. 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 the style files and template provided on the AiML'2012 website (click "Paper Submissions").

We also ask authors of full papers to submit the abstract in plain text to the EasyChair page by 30 March.

(2) SHORT PRESENTATIONS. 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 submissions will be made available at the conference, and the authors will have the opportunity to make short presentations (of up to 15 minutes) 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.

SPECIAL SESSION IN HONOUR OF LARISA MAKSIMOVA. There will 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 the special sessions should be submitted to the EasyChair site along with others.
