Call for Papers
/*16th Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation*/
(/*WoLLIC 2009*/)
Tokyo, Japan
June 21-24, 2009
(SPECIAL: There will be a screening of George Csicsery's
"N is a Number: A Portrait of Paul Erdos"
http://zalafilms.com/films/nisanumber.html
with kind permission of the film director)
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 Sixteenth WoLLIC will be held at the National Institute of
Informatics
in Tokyo, Japan, from June 21 to 24, 2009. It is jointly 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), the Sociedade Brasileira de Computacao (SBC), and the
Sociedade Brasileira de Logica (SBL).
*SPECIAL EVENT*
2009 will mark the 60-th anniversary of the publication of Paul Erdos'
elementary proof of the Prime Number Theorem. WoLLIC will celebrate
this by screening the documentary about Paul Erdos which was directed
by George Csicsery "N is a number - A Portrait of Paul Erdos"

*PAPER SUBMISSION*
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 and programming;
novel computation models and paradigms; broad notions of proof and
belief;
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.
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.
They must not exceed 10 pages (in font 10 or higher), 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The paper's main results must not be published or submitted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.
Papers must be submitted electronically at
http://wollic.org/wollic2009/instructions.html
A title and single-paragraph abstract should be submitted by
February 28, and the full paper by March 8 (firm date).
Notifications are expected by April 19, and final papers for
the proceedings will be due by May 3 (firm date).
*PROCEEDINGS*
The proceedings of WoLLIC 2009, including both invited and contributed
papers, will be published in advance of the meeting as a volume in
Springer's /Lecture Notes in Computer Science/ series (TBC).
In addition, abstracts will be published in the Conference Report
section
of the /Logic Journal of the IGPL/, and selected contributions will
be published as a special post-conference WoLLIC 2009 issue of a
scientific journal.
