CALL FOR PAPERS
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 twenty-fourth WoLLIC will
be held at the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science,
Queen Mary College, London, UK, from July 18th to 21st, 2017. It is
sponsored by the Association for Symbolic Logic (ASL), the Interest
Group in Pure and Applied Logics (IGPL), the The Association for Logic,
Language and Information (FoLLI), the European Association for
Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS), the European Association for
Computer Science Logic (EACSL), the Sociedade Brasileira de Computaçào
(SBC), and the Sociedade Brasileira de Lógica (SBL).

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 ;
proof mining, type theory, effective learnability ; 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 ; foundations of mathematics ; philosophy of mathematics ;
philosophical logic. 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. Articles should be written in the LaTeX format of LNCS by
Springer (see authors instructions at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). They must
not exceed 12 pages, 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 The paper’s main results must not be published or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 the WoLLIC 2017 EasyChair website. (Please go to
http://wollic.org/wollic2017/instructions.html for instructions.) A
title and single-paragraph abstract should be submitted by Mar 14, 2017,
and the full paper by Mar 21, 2017 (firm date). Notifications are
expected by Apr 22, 2017, and final papers for the proceedings will be
due by May 6, 2017 (firm date).

PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings of WoLLIC 2017, including both invited and contributed
papers, will be published in advance of the meeting as a volume in
Springer’s LNCS series. 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 2017
issue of a scientific journal (to be confirmed).
