THE EVENT
  The "11th Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation"
  (WoLLIC'2004), the eleventh version of a series of workshops which starte=
d
  in 1994 with the aim of fostering interdisciplinary research in pure and
  applied logic, will be held in Paris, July 19-22, 2004.

SCOPE
  Contributions are invited in the form of short papers (12 A4 10pt pages) =
in
  all areas related to logic, language, information and computation, includ=
ing:
  . logic and databases
  . logic programming and algebraic semantics
  . logic and linguistics
  . logic and artificial intelligence
  . logic, arithmetic and complexity
  . proof complexity, zero-knowledge proofs
  . proof theory, lambda calculus, categorical logic
  . model theory, descriptive complexity
  . real computation, algebraic complexity
  . logic and verification
  . natural computing

SCIENTIFIC SPONSORSHIP
  The 11th WoLLIC'2004 has the scientific sponsorship of the Association
  for Symbolic Logic (ASL), the Interest Group in Pure and Applied Logics
  (IGPL), the European Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoL=
LI),
  the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS),
  the Sociedade Brasileira de Computa=E7=E3o (SBC), and the Sociedade
  Brasileira de L=F3gica (SBL).

GUEST SPEAKERS
  Thomas Ehrhard (Institut de Math=E9matiques de Luminy, Univ Marseille, Fr=
ance)
  Klaus Meer (University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark)
  Damian Niwinski (Div of Maths, Informatics & Mechanics, Warsaw Univ, Pola=
nd)
  Luke Ong (Computing Laboratory, Oxford University, UK)
  Gheorghe Paun (Institute of Mathematics, Romanian Academy, Romania)
  Alexander Rabinovich (School of Computer Science, Tel Aviv Univ, Israel)
  Stuart Shieber (DEAS, Harvard University, USA) (TO BE CONFIRMED)

THE LOCATION
  Campus of Fontainebleau (Universit=E9 Paris 12), 60 km south of Paris.

SUBMISSION
  Papers (up to 12 pages A4 10pt, sent preferably in postscript format by
  e-mail to wollic at cin.ufpe.br, or in 5(five) copies to postal address) mus=
t
  be RECEIVED by MARCH 1st, 2004 by one of the Co-Chairs of the Organising
  Committee.
  Papers must be ANONYMOUS (a separate identification page must be included=
),
  written in English and give enough detail to allow the programme committe=
e
  to assess the merits of the work.  Papers should start with a brief
  statement of the issues, a summary of the main results, and a statement
  of their significance and relevance to the workshop. References and
  comparisons with related work is also expected.  Technical development
  directed to the specialist should follow.  Results must be unpublished
  and not submitted for publication elsewhere, including the proceedings
  of other symposia or workshops. One author of each accepted paper will be
  expected to attend the conference in order to present it. Authors will be
  notified of acceptance by APRIL 1st, 2004, and final versions will have
  to be delivered (in LaTeX format) by MAY 1st, 2004.
  The abstracts of the papers will be published in a "Conference Report"
  section of the Logic Journal of the IGPL (ISSN 1367-0751) (Oxford Univ
  Press, web page: http://www.oup.co.uk/igpl) as part of the meeting report=
=2E
  The proceedings will appear as a volume in the Elsevier series "Electroni=
c
  Notes in Theoretical Computer Science" (http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/ent=
cs)
  Full version of papers will be refereed again for publication in a specia=
l
  issue of the Logic Journal of the IGPL.

STUDENT GRANTS
  ASL sponsorship of WoLLIC'2004 also will permit student ASL members to
  apply for (limited) ASL travel funds that we hope to make available for
  sponsored meetings that take place in 2004
  (see http://www.aslonline.org/studenttravelawards.html)
  In addition to that, WoLLIC'2004 will make available modest grants to
  graduate students in logic and to recent PhDs so that they may attend the
  meeting in Paris.
  To be considered for a grant, please (1) send a letter of application, an=
d
  (2) ask your thesis supervisor to send a brief recommendation letter.
  The application letter should be brief (one page) and should include
  (1) your name, (2) your home institution, (3) your thesis supervisor's na=
me,
  (4) a one-paragraph description of your studies and work in logic,
  (5) your estimate of the travel expenses you will incur,
  (6) (for citizens or residents of EU) citizenship or visa status, and
  (7) (voluntary) indication of your gender and minority status. Only modes=
t
  grants will be possible, partially covering travel costs and perhaps some=
 of
  the living expenses during the meeting. Women and members of minority gro=
ups
  are strongly encouraged to apply.
  Application by email is encouraged; put "WoLLIC grant application"
  in the subject line of your message. Applications and recommendations sho=
uld
  be received before the deadline of MARCH 1st, 2004, by one of the Co-Chai=
rs
  of the Organising Committee.
