============ Call for Papers ============ ================================================= ICLA 2025: Indian Conference on Logic and its Applications Dates: Feb 3 -- 5, 2025 Venue: Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Kolkata, India Website: https://logicindia.org/icla/icla2025/ ================================================= =================== 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. [1] https://logicindia.org/ [2] https://icla2023.iiti.ac.in/ The upcoming ICLA 2025 is the 11th edition of the conference and features the following: * Best paper and best student paper awards; * Two kinds of contributed papers: - Extended abstracts for inclusion in the conference proceedings. The review process for these abstracts will involve a rebuttal phase; - 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); * The conference will take place in offline in-person mode; * 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. ================================== Events: Main conference and workshops ================================== + Main conference: ICLA 2025: - Date: Feb 3 -- 5, 2025 - Venue: ISI Kolkata - Website: https://logicindia.org/icla/icla2025/ + Workshop: AWPL 2025: - Date: Feb 6 -- 8, 2025 - Venue: Jadavpur University Kolkata - Website: https://sites.google.com/view/awpl2025/ ============================ Important dates and information ============================ Submission dates: All dates below are AOE (Anywhere on Earth). - Deadline for abstract of submission: Aug 11, 2024 - Submission deadline: Aug 15, 2024 - Rebuttal period: Sep 23 -- Sep 28, 2024 - Notification to authors: 18 Oct, 2024 - Camera-ready version: TBA - Registration: TBA Easychair website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icla2025 ==================== Submission guidelines ==================== Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research in any area of logic and its applications. Please see below for a detailed list of topics. The publisher and publication series will be announced soon. Listed below are common guidelines for all submissions. A submission is either an extended abstract or a short abstract. 1) Submissions must be in electronic form, and must be submitted through Easychair via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icla2025. 2) Submissions must be in English and should provide sufficient details to allow the program committee to assess their merits. Each submission must be a single PDF file. 3) Submissions will be peer-reviewed in a single-blind process. 4) Submissions authored or co-authored by PC members are allowed. PC member submissions will however be subject to a higher level of scrutiny than other submissions. 5) For an accepted submission, one of the authors must commit to presenting it in person at the conference. —------------------------------------------------------ Additional guidelines for extended abstracts —------------------------------------------------------ 1) The submission should not exceed 12 pages excluding references, and should adhere to the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes LaTeX2e style [SV]. Detailed proofs of technical results or other supplementary material, if necessary, can be included in a clearly marked appendix or made available via pointers to technical reports which may be read at the discretion of the programme committee. There is no restriction on the length of the appendix. [SV] https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… 2) Submissions of previously published works, or concurrent submissions to journals or to other conferences with proceedings, are not allowed. The authors can however make full versions of their submissions available at online repositories such as ArXiv, HAL, ECCC and the like. 3) During the reviewing, there will be a rebuttal phase for extended abstracts which would give the authors an opportunity to respond to the initial reviews. Instructions related to the rebuttal will be communicated to the authors before the rebuttal period. 4) Accepted extended abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings. —------------------------------------------------- Additional guidelines for short abstracts —------------------------------------------------- 1) The submission should be about a page in length describing the main results of the work. Pointers to technical reports detailing the results can be provided. 2) There will be no rebuttal phase for short abstracts. 3) Accepted short abstracts will not be published in the conference proceedings. They might however be made available on the conference website. ================== Submission Topics ================== The list of topics include, but are not limited to, the following.
