AiML 2018:  FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
 
12TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCES IN MODAL LOGIC
BERN, 27 AUGUST -- 31 AUGUST 2018
 
http://www.aiml2018.unibe.ch
 
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 2018 is the 12th conference in the series.
 
AiML 2018 will be co-located with the sixth edition of the conference "Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees" (LATD 2018) http://www.latd2018.unibe.ch/.
 
TOPICS
 
We invite submissions 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 (topological/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.
 
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
 
There will be two types of submissions for AiML 2018:
 
(1) Full papers for publication in the proceedings and presentation at the conference.
 
(2) Short presentations intended for presentation at the conference but not for the published proceedings.
 
Both types of papers should be submitted electronically using the EasyChair submission page at
 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiml2018
 
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 2018 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 that will be provided on the AiML 2018 website
 
http://www.aiml2018.unibe.ch
 
in due time.
 
Authors must submit an abstract in plain text via EasyChair by the abstract deadline prior to full submission of their paper.
 
The presentations of accepted full papers will be 30 minutes long.
 
(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 give short presentations (of up to 15 minutes) on them.
