Objective
The conference on Infinity in Logic & Computation is the first conference in South Africa
that focuses on infinity in automata theory, logic, computability and verification.
One purpose of this conference is to catalyse new interactions
among local and international researchers and to expose postgraduate students to recent research
trends in these fields. The topics of the conference include
- Automata on infinite objects
- Combinatorics, cryptography and complexity
- Computability and complexity on the real numbers
- Infinite games and their connections to logic
- Logic, computability, and complexity in finitely presentable infinite structures
- Randomness and computability
- Transfinite computation
- Verification of infinite state systems
The conference on Infinity in Logic & Computation is co-hosted by the
Meraka Institute
and sponsored by
Dimension Data
.
Submissions and Proceedings
Authors are invited to submit abstracts of at most one page in
pure text or PDF format. Since acceptance of the abstract for presentation
does not constitute a publication, it is permissible to submit talks
on published results, survey talks or expository talks.
It is intended to publish fully refereed post-conference
proceedings in the book series of the
Association of Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI)
that is a sub series of the
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI)
of
Springer.
The submission deadline for the post-conference proceedings is
5 Feburary 2007.
Here are
further Information on the Proceedings.
Co-Located Events
The conference will be organised at the University of Cape Town co-located with the
50th Annual Congress of the South African Mathematical Society
(SAMS).
We plan to organise a
Summer School on Logic & Computation
directly following the conference from 6-9 November 2007.
This summer school is intended for postgraduate students and
other interested participants.
