      3rd INDIAN CONFERENCE ON LOGIC AND ITS APPLICATION
                                 January 7--11, 2009
                    The Institute of Mathematical Sciences,

                          SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS


ALI, the Association for Logic in India, announces the next edition of its
biennial International Conference on Logic and its Applications (ICLA), to
be held at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, from January 7
to 11, 2009.
ICLA is a forum for bringing together researchers from a wide variety of
fields that formal logic plays a significant role in, along with
mathematicians, philosophers and logicians studying foundations of formal
logic in itself.  A special feature of this conference is the inclusion of
studies in systems of logic in the Indian tradition, and historical
research on logic.
The earlier events in this series featured many eminent logicians as
invited speakers, as will be the case this year as well. See
http://ali.cmi.ac.in for information on past events as well as updates on
this conference.

Scope
-----
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished
research in any area of logic and applications.  Papers on topics of
current interest in pure and applied logic, foundations and philosophy of
mathematics and the sciences, areas of theoretical computer science,
artificial intelligence and other disciplines which are of direct interest
to mathematical and philosophical logic, as well as articles on the
relationship between logic and other branches of knowledge, or on history
of logic, are welcome. Of special interest are articles on historical
Indian systems of logic, especially in relation to modern logical studies.
Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be
published in the conference proceedings, which will be made available at
the time of the conference. The conference proceedings will appear as a
volume in the FoLLI series of Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence.
