[FOM] Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees (LATD) 2016: First Announcement

[James Raftery]

Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees (LATD) 2016
28 - 30 June 2016  Phalaborwa, South Africa
 

First Announcement
 
The fifth instalment of the conference Logic, Algebra and Truth
Degrees
(LATD) will take place in Phalaborwa, South Africa from 28 - 30 June
2016. The conference will be hosted by the Faculty of Science of the
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, at the Hans Merensky
Hotel, situated on the border of the world renowned Kruger National
Park Game Reserve. Detailed travel information is available on the
conference website.
 
Mathematical Fuzzy Logic is the sub-discipline of Mathematical Logic
that is concerned with the notion of comparative truth. The assumption
that "truth comes in degrees" has proved to be very useful in many
theoretical and applied areas of Mathematics, Computer Science, and
Philosophy. This conference series started as an official meeting of
the working group on Mathematical Fuzzy Logic and has evolved into a
wider meeting in algebraic logic and related areas. Its main goal is
to foster collaboration between researchers in these areas, and to
promote communication and cooperation with members of neighbouring
fields. We encourage contributions on any relevant aspects of logical
systems (including fuzzy, substructural, modal and quantum logics,
and many-valued logics in general).
 

The featured topics include:
 
- Proof theory and computational complexity
- Algebraic semantics and abstract algebraic logic
- First, higher-order and modal formalisms
- Applications and foundational issues
- Geometric and game theoretic aspects
