Deadline for submission of papers:
*** December 15, 2013 ***
The Brazilian Logic Conference (EBL) is a traditional event on the
agenda of several prominent researchers in Brazil and Latin America in
the areas of Logic, Foundations and Philosophy of Science, Mathematics,
Computer Science, Informatics, and Artificial Intelligence.
Previous editions of the EBL have been a great success, attracting
researchers from all over Latin America and elsewhere. The EBL has
become an important meeting point and discussion forum for students
and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic.
In 2014, the EBL will be held at the National Laboratory for
Scientific Computing (LNCC), at Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro.
The goal of the EBL is to encourage the dissemination and discussion
of research papers in the area of Logic and their interconnections
with the areas of Foundations and Philosophy of Science, Mathematics,
Computer Science, Informatics, and Artificial Intelligence.
Topics include:
Philosophical and Mathematical Logic, and Applications;
History and Philosophy of Logic;
Non-classical Logic and Applications;
Philosophy of Formal Sciences;
Foundations of Computer Science, Physics, and Mathematics,
among others.
