INTRODUCTION
CL&C'10 is the third of a conference series on "Classical Logic and
Computation". It intends to cover all work aiming to explore computational
aspects of classical logic and mathematics.  This year CL&C will be held as
part of CSL and MFCS, jointly with PECP (Program Extraction and Constructive
Proofs):
        http://www.cs.swansea.ac.uk/~csmona/pecp.html
Through these two workshops we wish to honour Prof. Helmut Schwichtenberg's
many important contributions to both fields.

CL&C is focused on the interplay between program extraction from classical
proofs and computer science, while PECP will focus on recent developments
in Applied Proof Theory and Constructive Mathematics. The two fields have
a substantial common interest, namely the exploration of the computational
content of mathematical and logical principles.  The scientific aim of this
workshop is to bring together researchers from both fields and exchange
ideas.

SCOPE OF CL&C
This workshop aims to support a fruitful exchange of ideas between the
various lines of research on Classical Logic and Computation. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to,

  - version of lambda calculi adapted to represent classical logic,
  - design of programming languages inspired by classical logic,
  - cut-elimination for classical systems,
  - proof representation and proof search for classical logic,
  - translations of classical to intuitionistic proofs,
  - constructive interpretation of non-constructive principles,
  - witness extraction from classical proofs,
  - constructive semantics for classical logic (e.g. game semantics),
  - case studies (for any of the previous points).

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION, This is intended to be an informal workshop.
Participants are encouraged to present work in progress, overviews of
more extensive work, and programmatic/position papers, as well as
completed projects. We therefore ask for submission both of short
abstracts and of longer papers.

All submitted papers will be reviewed to normal standards. The PC recognises
two kinds of papers: it will distinguish between accepted (full) papers that
contain unpublished results not submitted elsewhere, and presentations
of (short) papers about work in progress. The accepted papers will appear
in EPTCS.

Post-proceedings of CL&C'06 and CL&C'08 were published as special issues
of APAL, for which an open call for papers was sent. A special issue of a
journal, with the post-proceedings of CL&C'10, is being considered.

In order to make a submission:
- Format your file using the LNCS guidelines; there is a 15 page limit.
- Use the submission instructions at
        http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clac10

A participants' proceedings will be distributed at the workshop.
