Special Event
2009 will mark the 60-th anniversary of the publication of Paul Erdos' elementary proof
of the Prime Number Theorem. WoLLIC will celebrate this by screening the
documentary about Paul Erdos which was directed by George Csicsery:
N is a number - A Portrait of Paul Erdos.
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;
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.
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.
They must not exceed 10 pages (in font 10 or higher), 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The paper's main results must not be published or submitted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
http://wollic.org/wollic2009/instructions.html
A title and single-paragraph abstract should be submitted by
February 28, and the full paper by March 8 (firm date).
Notifications are expected by April 5, and final papers for
the proceedings will be due by April 12 (firm date).
Proceedings
The proceedings of WoLLIC 2009, including both invited and contributed
papers, will be published in advance of the meeting as a volume in
Springer's LNCS series (TBC). 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 2009 issue of
Fundamenta Informaticae.
