[TYPES/announce] IMLA 2013 - 1st call for papers.

[Elaine Pimentel]

6th Workshop on Intuitionistic Modal Logic and Applications
https://sites.google.com/site/imodallogic2013/

Affiliated with the 4th World Congress on Universal Logic [UNILOG 2013]
http://uni-log.org/start4.html

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
April 3-7, 2013


Constructive modal logics and type theories are of increasing foundational
and practical
relevance in computer science. Applications of constructive modal logics
are in type
disciplines for programming languages, meta-logics for reasoning about a
variety of
computational phenomena and explanatory frameworks in philosophical logic.

The workshop aims at developing and explaining theoretical and
methodological issues
centered around the question of how the proof-theoretic strengths of
constructive logics
can best be combined with the model-theoretic strengths of modal logics.
Practical issues
center around the question of which modal connectives with associated laws
or proof rules
capture computational phenomena accurately and at the right level of
abstraction.

In its sixth edition, the Workshop on Intuitionistic Modal Logic and
Applications will
take place in Rio de Janeiro at the feet of the Sugar Loaf at the military
school EsCEME.
Previous editions of this conference were held: as part of the 14th
Congress of Logic,
Methdology and Philosophy of Science, Nancy, France, 25 July, 2011, as part
of LiCS2008,
Pittsburgh, USA, as part of LiCS2005, Chicago, USA, of FLoC2002,
Copenhagen, Denmark and
as part of FLoC1999, Trento, Italy.

Topics of interest to this forum include, but are not limited to:

* Modal Logics
* Logical frameworks
* Proof theory
* Type theory
* Automated deduction
* Formal semantics of languages and systems
* Applications

IMLA 2013 also aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing work
in progress, and therefore to provide feedback to authors on their
preliminary research.
