AiML-2012: FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

                     ADVANCES IN MODAL LOGIC IX

                     COPENHAGEN, 22-25 AUGUST, 2012 http://hylocore.ruc.dk/aiml2012

Advances in Modal Logic is an initiative aimed at presenting the state  
of the art in modal
logic and its various applications. The initiative consists of a  
conference series together with
volumes based on the conferences. Information about the AiML series  
can be obtained at http:
//www.aiml.net. AiML-2012 is the ninth conference in the series.

TOPICS. We invite submission on all aspects of modal logic, including:
- history and philosophy of modal logic;
- applications of modal logic;
- computational aspects of modal logic (complexity and decidability of  
modal and temporal logics,
modal and temporal logic programming, model checking, model  
generation, theorem proving
for modal logics);
- theoretical aspects of modal logic (algebraic/categorical  
perspectives on modal logic, coalgebraic
modal logic, completeness and canonicity, correspondence and duality  
theory, manydimensional
modal logics, modal  xed point logics, model theory of modal logic,  
proof theory
of modal logic);
- specific instances and variations of modal logic (description  
logics, modal logics over non-boolean
bases, dynamic logics and other process logics, epistemic and deontic  
logics, modal logics for
agent-based systems, modal logic and game theory, modal logic and  
grammar formalisms,
provability and interpretability logics, spatial and temporal logics,  
hybrid logic, intuitionistic
logic, substructural logics, computationally light fragments).
Papers on related subjects will also be considered.

CONFERENCE LOCATION. Advances in Modal Logic 2012 will be held at the  
IDA conference
center in downtown Copenhagen: http://ida.dk/sites/moedecenter/english/Sider/
EnglishForside.aspx This is in walking distance from Copenhagen  
Central Station and many
reasonably priced hotels.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS. There will be two types of submissions to  
AiML-2012: (1) Full papers
for publication in the proceedings and presentation at the conference.  
(2) Abstracts for short
presentation only. Both types of papers should be submitted  
electronically using the EasyChair
submission page at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/? 
conf=aiml2012. At least one author of
each accepted paper or abstract must register for, and attend, the  
conference to present
his or her work.
(1) FULL PAPERS. Authors are invited to submit, for presentation at  
the conference and publication
in the proceedings, full papers reporting on original research and not  
submitted elsewhere.
The proceedings of AiML'2012 will be published (in a volume to be made  
available at the conference)
by College Publications http://www.collegepublications.co.uk. The  
submissions should be at most 15
pages, with an optional technical appendix of up to 5 pages, together  
with a plain-text abstract of
100-200 words. The submissions must be typeset in LaTex, using a style  
file and template that will
be provided on the AiML'2012 website.
(2) ABSTRACTS. These should be at most 5 pages. They may describe  
preliminary results, work
in progress etc., and will be subject to light reviewing. The accepted  
abstracts will be made
available at the conference, and the authors will make short (up to 15  
min) presentations on them.
SPECIAL SESSION ON HYBRID LOGIC. Hybrid logic is an extension of modal  
logic allowing to refer
explicitly to states of the model in the syntax of formulas. There  
will be a special session of AiML
devoted to papers on hybrid logic. The scope of the special session is  
standard hybrid-logical
machinery like nominals, satisfaction operators, and the downarrow  
binder, but also other extensions
of modal logic can be considered. Papers for this session should be  
submitted the same way as others.
SPECIAL SESSION IN HONOUR OF LARISA MAKSIMOVA. There will also be a  
special session of AiML
devoted to papers and talks in honour of Larisa Maksimova, in  
recognition of her many outstanding
contributions to modal logic.
SPECIAL SESSION ON MODALITES FOR TYPES. Recent years have witnessed  
significant growth of interest
in constructive type-theoretical modalities, in particular modalities  
ensuring productivity and type
safety of (co-)recursive definitions in reactive programming. Some  
earlier examples include the use
of modalities for staged computation, metaprogramming or in  
computational lambda-calculus. In order
to boost interaction between programming, type-theoretical and modal  
communities, AiML 2012 will
host a special session on these topics. Papers for this session should  
be submitted to the EasyChair site
along with others.
