Nancy, France

A 14th Congress of Logic, Methdology and Philosophy of Science affiliated workshop

Constructive modal logics and type theories are of increasing foundational and practical relevance in computer science and in logic. Applications are in type disciplines for programming languages, and meta-logics for reasoning about a variety of computational phenomena.

Theoretical and methodological issues center around the question of how the proof-theoretic strengths of constructive logics can best be combined with the model-theoretic strengths of modal logics. Practical issues center around the question which modal connectives with associated laws or proof rules capture computational phenomena accurately and at the right level of abstraction.

The workshop continues a series of previous workshops which were held as part of FLoC1999, Trento, Italy, of FLoC2002, Copenhagen, Denmark, part of LiCS2005, Chicago, USA and LiCS2008, Pittsburgh, USA.

Publication Plans

It is planned to publish workshop proceedings as Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) or in CEURS, to be decided. Authors please use the generic ENTCS macro package athttp://www.math.tulane.edu/~entcs. We strongly prefer papers under 10 pages long, excluding appendices.
