Since their inception, the Perspectives in Logic and Lecture Notes in Logic series have published seminal works by leading logicians. Many of the original books in the series have been unavailable for years, but they are now in print once again. This volume, the nineteenth publication in the Lecture Notes in Logic series, collects the proceedings of the European Summer Meeting of the Association for Symbolic Logic, held in Paris, France in July 2000. This meeting marked the centennial anniversary of Hilbert's famous lecture and was held in the same hall at La Sorbonne where Hilbert presented his problems. Three long articles, based on tutorials given at the meeting, present accessible expositions of developing research in model theory, computability, and set theory. The eleven subsequent papers present work from the research frontier in all areas of mathematical logic.
This volume contains the papers which were presented to the workshop "Computer-Science Logic" held in Karlsruhe on October 12-16, 1987. Traditionally Logic, or more specifically, Mathematical Logic splits into several subareas: Set Theory, Proof Theory, Recursion Theory, and Model Theory. In addition there is what sometimes is called Philosophical Logic which deals with topics like nonclassical logics and which for historical reasons has been developed mainly at philosphical departments rather than at mathematics institutions. Today Computer Science challenges Logic in a new way. The theoretical analysis of problems in Computer Science for intrinsic reasons has pointed back to Logic. A broad class of questions became visible which is of a basically logical nature. These questions are often related to some of the traditional disciplines of Logic but normally without being covered adequately by any of them. The novel and unifying aspect of this new branch of Logic is the algorithmic point of view which is based on experiences people had with computers. The aim of the "Computer-Science Logic" workshop and of this volume is to represent the richness of research activities in this field in the German-speaking countries and to point to their underlying general logical principles.
This Festschrift volume contains 28 refereed papers including personal memories, essays, and regular research papers by close collaborators and friends of José Meseguer to honor him on the occasion of his 65th birthday. These papers were presented at a symposium at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on September 23-25, 2015. The symposium also featured invited talks by Claude and Hélène Kirchner and by Patrick Lincoln. The foreword of this volume adds a brief overview of some of José's many scientific achievements followed by a bibliography of papers written by José.
This volume gives the proceedings of the Tenth Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science. These conferences are organized and run by the computer science research community in India, and their purpose is to provide a forum for professional interaction between members of this research community and their counterparts in different parts of the world. The volume includes four invited papers on: - reasoning about linear constraints using parametric queries, - the parallel evaluation of classes of circuits, - a theory of commonsense visual reasoning, - natural language processing, complexity theory and logic. The 26 submitted papers are organized into sections on logic, automata and formal languages, theory of programming, parallel algorithms, geometric algorithms, concurrency, distributed computing, and semantics.
This volume contains the papers presented at the Ninth International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-9) held May 23-26 at Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois. The conference commemorates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the discovery of the resolution principle, which took place during the summer of 1963. The CADE conferences are a forum for reporting on research on all aspects of automated deduction, including theorem proving, logic programming, unification, deductive databases, term rewriting, ATP for non-standard logics, and program verification. All papers submitted to the conference were refereed by at least two referees, and the program committee accepted the 52 that appear here. Also included in this volume are abstracts of 21 implementations of automated deduction systems.
Dynamic Epistemic Logic is the logic of knowledge change. This book provides various logics to support such formal specifications, including proof systems. Concrete examples and epistemic puzzles enliven the exposition. The book also offers exercises with answers. It is suitable for graduate courses in logic. Many examples, exercises, and thorough completeness proofs and expressivity results are included. A companion web page offers slides for lecturers and exams for further practice.
This volume - honoring the computer science pioneer Joseph Goguen on his 65th Birthday - includes 32 refereed papers by leading researchers in areas spanned by Goguen's work. The papers address a variety of topics from meaning, meta-logic, specification and composition, behavior and formal languages, as well as models, deduction, and computation, by key members of the research community in computer science and other fields connected with Joseph Goguen's work.
This book presents four keynote speeches, eight invited papers and over a hundred papers selected from 180 submissions from more than 25 countries around the world. The contributions investigate applications of computational intelligence and multimedia in various areas, such as artificial intelligence, artificial neural networks, pattern recognition, evolutionary computations, logic synthesis, fuzzy logic, image processing, image retrieval, virtual reality, etc.
