Call for Papers

SYNTAX MEETS SEMANTICS (SYSMICS 2019) 21-25 January 2019, Amsterdam (The Netherlands) 

Scope

The program of the SYSMICS conference will focus on interactions between syntactic and semantic methods in substructural and other non-classical logics. Substructural logics are formal reasoning systems that refine classical logic by weakening structural rules in a Gentzen-style sequent calculus. Traditionally, non-classical logics have been investigated using proof theoretic and algebraic methods. In recent years, combined approaches has started to emerge, thus establishing new links with modal logic and other branches of logic. The scope of the conference includes but is not limited to algebraic, proof theoretic and relational approaches towards the study of non-classical logics.

This conference is the last of a series of meetings planned in the SYSMICS RISE project during 2016-2019.

 

Featured topics

Contributed talks can be on any topic related to substructural logic. This includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  • Algebraic structures in CS
  • Algebraic logic
  • Coalgebraic aspects of logic
  • Categorical methods in logic
  • Gentzen systems
  • Lattice theory
  • Lattices with operators
  • Linear logic
  • Mathematical fuzzy logic
  • Non-classical logics
  • Ordered algebraic structures
  • Proofs and Types
  • Stone-type dualities
  • Topological semantics
