TCS Confidential ======================= Call for Papers ======================= ================================================================= ICLA 2027: Indian Conference on Logic and its Applications January 6 - 8, 2027 The Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India https://conf.researchr.org/home/icla-2027 Submission deadline: August 28, 2026 AOE Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icla2027 Notification to authors: October 31, 2026 ================================================================= ICLA 2027 is the 12th edition of the biennial conference organised by the Association for Logic in India (ALI). It serves as a forum that brings together researchers from a variety of disciplines in which formal logic plays a significant, and often foundational, role, including Mathematics, Computer Science, Philosophy, Linguistics, and Cognitive Science. A distinctive feature of ICLA is its inclusion of research on systems of logic in the Indian tradition, as well as historical studies of logic. Details of ICLA 2025 can be found here, and information about earlier editions of the conference is available on the ALI website. https://logicindia.org/icla/icla2025/ https://logicindia.org/ ICLA 2027 will be held at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, from January 6–8, 2027. Pre-conference workshops will be held on January 5, 2027. List of Topics Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following. Interdisciplinary submissions are especially encouraged.

Submission Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research in any area of logic and its applications. Submissions must be written in English and should provide sufficient detail to enable the Programme Committee to assess the merits of the work. Papers may not exceed 12 pages, excluding references, and must be prepared using the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes LaTeX2e style: https://link.springer.com/series/558/information-for-authors-and-editors If necessary, detailed proofs of technical results may be included in a clearly marked appendix, which may be consulted at the discretion of the Programme Committee. Submissions must be in PDF format. All submissions must be made electronically through the EasyChair conference management system using the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icla2027 Simultaneous submission to journals or to other conferences with published proceedings is not permitted. Submitted papers will undergo peer review, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings will appear as a volume in the FoLLI Publications on Logic, Language and Information, a subseries of Springer LNCS. To be included in the proceedings, at least one author of each accepted paper must commit to presenting the paper at the conference.
