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 twentieth WoLLIC will be held at the
Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, from September 1st to 4th, 2014.
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 Computação (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. 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paper's main results must not be published or submitted for publication in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 the WoLLIC 2014
EasyChair website. (Please go to
http://wollic.org/wollic2014/instructions.html for instructions.) A title
and single-paragraph abstract should be submitted by Mar 24, 2014, and the
full paper by Mar 28, 2014 (firm date). Notifications are expected by May
2, 2014, and final papers for the proceedings will be due by May 15, 2014
(firm date).

PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings of WoLLIC 2014, 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 2014
issue of a scientific journal (to be confirmed).
