CALL FOR PAPERS

WoLLIC 2023
29th Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation
11-14 July, 2023
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

ORGANISATION
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Dalhousie University, Canada
Centro de Informática, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil

WoLLIC is an annual international forum on inter-disciplinary research
involving formal logic, computing and programming theory, and natural
language and reasoning. Each meeting includes invited talks and tutorials
as well as contributed papers. The twenty-ninth WoLLIC will be held at the
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Dalhousie University, Halifax,
Nova Scotia, Canada, July 11 to 14, 2023. It is sponsored by the
Association for Symbolic Logic (ASL), the Interest Group in Pure and
Applied Logics (IGPL), the Association for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI), the European Association for Theoretical Computer
Science (EATCS), and the Sociedade Brasileira de Lógica (SBL).

LOCATION
Halifax (https://www.halifax.ca/) is the capital and largest municipality
of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, and the largest municipality in
Atlantic Canada. (Wikipedia)

FORMAT
WoLLIC 2023 will be a hybrid event.

SCOPE
Contributions are invited on all pertinent subjects, with particular
interest in cross-disciplinary topics. Typical but not exclusive areas of
interest are: foundations of computing, programming and Artificial
Intelligence (AI); novel computation models and paradigms; broad notions of
proof and belief; proof mining, type theory, effective learnability and
explainable AI; formal methods in software and hardware development;
logical approach to natural language and reasoning; logics of programs,
actions and resources; foundational aspects of information organization,
search, flow, sharing, and protection; foundations of mathematics;
philosophical logic; philosophy of language.

PAPER SUBMISSION
Proposed contributions should be in English, and consist of a scholarly
exposition accessible to the non-specialist, including motivation,
background, and comparison with related works. Articles should be written
in the LaTeX format of LNCS by Springer (see author's instructions at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). They must
not exceed 12 pages, with up to 5 additional pages for references and
technical appendices. The paper's main results must not be published or
submitted for publication in refereed venues, including journals and other
scientific meetings. It is expected that each accepted paper be presented
at the meeting by one of its authors either in person or via remote
connection. (At least one author is required to pay a full, on-site
registration fee before granting that the paper will be published in the
proceedings.) Papers must be submitted electronically at the WoLLIC 2023
EasyChair website https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wollic2023.

PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings of WoLLIC 2023, including both invited and contributed
papers, will be published in advance of the meeting as a volume in
Springer's LNCS series. In addition, abstracts will be published in the
Conference Report section of the Logic Journal of the IGPL, and selected
contributions will be published (after a new round of reviewing) as a
special post-conference WoLLIC 2023 issue of a scientific journal (tba).
