Formal Philosophy is a collection of short interviews based on 5 questions
presented to some of the most influential and prominent scholars in formal
philosophy. We hear their views on formal philosophy, its aim, scope, the
future direction of philosophy and how their work fits in these regards. 

The interviews will be freely available in December 2005 at

International Computer Science Symposium CSR 2006 June 8-12, St.Petersburg,
Russia. <http://logic.pdmi.ras.ru/~csr2006/>

***************************************************************************

The workshop "Methods for Modalities" (M4M) aims to bring together
researchers interested in developing algorithms, verification methods and
tools based on modal logics. Here the term "modal logics" is conceived
broadly, including description logic, guarded fragments, conditional logic,
temporal and hybrid logic, etc.

To stimulate interaction and transfer of expertise, M4M will feature a
number of invited talks by leading scientists, research presentations aimed
at highlighting new developments, and submissions of system demonstrations.
We strongly encourage young researchers and students to submit papers and
posters, especially for experimental and prototypical software tools which
are related to modal logics.

Invited speakers:

François Laroussinie, ENS Cachan and CNRS

Martin Lange, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität

Wim Martens, Hasselt University

Boris Motik, Universität Karlsruhe

Boris Konev, University of Liverpool

Uwe Scheffler, Humboldt Universität

Regular papers should not exceed the length of 12 pages; short papers are up
to six pages of length, and posters and tools can be presented on two pages
of text. Proceedings will appear online and as a Humboldt university report.
Depending on the submissions, papers may be selected to appear in a special
issue of an appropriate journal. Submission is by internet or email. You can
(preferrably) upload your PostScript or PDF contribution to the address
<http://www.easychair.org/M4M-4/submit/> or (alternatively) send it to
m4m-4 at first.fraunhofer.de.

The workshop will take place in Berlin - Adlershof, Germany, which is one of
the worlds largest science and technology areas, comprising twelve research
institutes, six faculties of the Humboldt University of Berlin, and more
than 370 high tech companies. It is hosted by FIRST, the Fraunhofer
Institute of Computer Architecture and Software Technology, in collaboration
with the computer science institute of Humboldt University.

For more information and registration information, see the M4M homepage at
