About the conference
===================
The Indian Conference on Logic and its Applications (ICLA) is the primary conference of the Association for Logic in India (ALI [1]). It is a forum for bringing together researchers from a variety of fields in which formal logic plays a significant and often foundational role: Mathematics, Computer Science, Philosophy, Linguistics and Cognitive Science. A special feature of ICLA is the inclusion of studies in systems of logic in the Indian tradition, as well as historical research on logic. Details of the previous ICLA 2023 can be found at [2], and those of the earlier editions of the conference at the ALI website.

—-------------------------
ICLA 2025 features
—-------------------------
* Best paper and best student paper awards;
* Two kinds of contributed papers:

- Short abstracts only for presentation in the conference;
* Invitation to selected accepted papers of the conference for submission to a special issue of a journal (to be announced in due course);
* ALI will co-organize with Jadavpur University, the Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL) which will take place for the first time in India in Kolkata following ICLA 2025.

The workshop's primary goal is to promote awareness, understanding, and collaboration among researchers in philosophical logic and related fields. It emphasises the interaction between philosophical ideas and formal theories. AWPL 2025 will happen just after ICLA 2025 [3], which would be held at Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India, during February 3-5, 2025.
*Topics of interest include* (but are not restricted to):
Algebraic logic; Chinese logic; Constructive logic; Decision Theory; Formal epistemology; Game Theory; Greek logic; Indian logic; Inductive logic; Logics of belief change; Logics of conditionals; Modal, temporal, epistemic and deontic logics; Nonmonotonic logics; Relevance and other non-classical logics; Philosophy of language; Philosophy of mathematics; Philosophy of Science; Proof Systems, Quantum logic; Vagueness;
*as well as their applications in:*
Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science; Computer Science; Law; Linguistics; Mathematics; Social Sciences.

Dear all,
The next talk in the IARCS Verification Seminar Series will be given by
Prakash Saivasan, an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Mathematical
Sciences, Chennai. The talk is scheduled on Tuesday, August 06, at 1900 hrs
IST (add to Google calendar
<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=MWRjc29rN3…>
).
The details of the talk can be found on our webpage (
https://fmindia.cmi.ac.in/vss/), and also appended to the body of this
email.
The Verification Seminar Series, an initiative by the Indian Association
for Research in Computing Science (IARCS), is a monthly, online
talk-series, broadly in the area of Formal Methods and Programming
Languages, with applications in Verification and Synthesis. The aim of this
talk-series is to provide a platform for Formal Methods researchers to
interact regularly. In addition, we hope that it will make it easier for
researchers to explore newer problems/areas and collaborate on them, and
for younger researchers to start working in these areas.
All are welcome to join.
Best regards,
Akash, Deepak, Madhukar, Srivathsan

Title: Verifying Programs in Weak Memory Models with Persistency
Meeting Link:

(Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194)
Abstract:
In this talk, we will consider the problem of verifying concurrent
programs. In here, we are given a set of programs that communicate through
shared memory and a specification, we wish to algorithmically check if the
programs violate the specification. The programmers, while writing code
usually assume that the memory operations are immediate (referred to as
sequential consistency). However, the modern day architectures, to optimise
the running time, re-order the memory operations in a non-trivial manner.
This leads to various memory models such as TSO, PSO and so on. We will
walk through some of these memory models during the talk. The recent intel
processor introduced persistency mechanism that allows for the writes to be
archived. This can then be used to restart the computation in case of a
crash. The main focus of the talk will be how to verify programs when
persistency is combined with weak memory.
Bio: Prakash Saivasan is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of
Mathematical Sciences, Chennai. He obtained his PhD from Chennai
Mathematical Institute in 2016 and has done postdocs at T U Braunschweig
and T U Kaiserslautern in Germany. His areas of interest are automata
theory, logic, concurrency, and formal verification.
