Computation and Logic in the Real World

Un colloque a ne pas manquer!

Conference themes and location: Computability has played a crucial role in mathematics and computer science, leading to the discovery, understanding and classification of decidable/undecidable problems, paving the way to the modern computer era, and affecting deeply our view of the world. Recent new paradigms of computation, based on biological and physical models, address in a radically new way questions of efficiency and challenge assumptions about the so-called Turing barrier.

CiE 2007 will address various aspects of the ways computability and theoretical computer science enable scientists and philosophers to deal with mathematical and real world issues, ranging through problems related to logic, mathematics, physical processes, real computation and learning theory. At the same time it will focus on different ways in which computability emerges from the real world, and how this affects our way of thinking about everyday computational issues.

Fibring logics : the Portuguese School

Can we think of predicate temporal logic as resulting from a "combination operation" on first-order logic and propositionnal temporal logic ? Given two logics enjoying properties like completness, decidability, compactness etc., is there a systematic way to combine them in a new logic that enjoy these properties too (or : is it possible to find a way of caracterizing logic and then to define an operation of combining logics which have nice preservation properties? ) etc. Those questions have nice technical and philosophical aspects, and probably the best place to study them today is the IST - Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisboa, in The Center for Logic and Computation. Among distinguished members of the institute are A. Sernadas, C. Sernadas, W. Carnielli, or C. Caleiro.
For those interested in learning about these matters, let me mention three nice introductions to the subject of combining logic (especially fibring), both mathematically and philosophically motivated. Each of them extends its predecessors in the list, with overlap. The shorter one is Combining logic systems: Why, how, what for? (2003, 7 pages), and the second one is Fibring logics: Past, present and future (published in Artemov and al. (ed.) We Will Show Them: Essays in Honour of Dov Gabbay, 2005. 22 p.). The last one was published in the Handbook of Philosophical Logic (2nd Edition, volume 13, 2005. 61 p.) : Fibring of logics as a universal construction (available from the IST web site) .

Seminar: Relative Truth and the Language of Value

Seminar: Relative Truth and the Language of Value. Org.: Friederike Moltmann (IHPST).
"What is the semantics of evaluative sentences such as 'Walking in the park is nice'? Recently philosophers have argued that such sentences (and others, especially epistemic ones) express a proposition that needs to be further relativized to an agent or standard of evaluation in order to be true or false. In this seminar we will discuss some of the most important philosophical literature on relative truth and evaluative sentences as well as a range of linguistic data relating to it. The seminar will be a preparation for the workshop 'Meaning, Value, and Relative Truth' on June 26 ."
Session 1: June 6, 11-13, ENS, salle Langevin, 29 rue d'Ulm, 1er étage, gauche.

"The Logic Machine at Texas A&M University hosts interactive logic software used for teaching introductory formal logic. The Daemon Proof Checker checks proofs and can provide hints for students attempting to construct proofs in a natural deduction system for sentential (propositional) and first-order predicate (quantifier) logic. The Quizmaster provides a variety of exercises, from questions about basic concepts such as validity, to wff construction and translation, to proofs, truth tables, and countermodels. The system and exercises are based on Logic Primer (MIT Press, 2000) but the exercises also suitable for use with other texts, such E.J. Lemmon's Beginning Logic."

Analytiques in situ

Via Philotropes, un blog de Julien Dutant (et je signale aussi en passant, du même auteur, le site (en développement) Epistémologie pour l'équipe "Rationalités Contemporaines" de Paris-IV), nous apprenons la jeune existence du club très fermé des lagonautes, voué au culte du Langage et de l'Ontologie selon le rite ancien et accepté de l'Analyse, et dont les membres se comptent, pour le moment, ainsi : Yves Bouchard, François Loth, Pascal Ludwig, Frederic Nef. Longue vie.

The Center for logic and philosophy of science (see yesterday's post) has a specialization in "adaptative logics" and, it's worth pointing out, maintains a nice introductory page to the subject here, including many references to papers available via the "writings" section of website.

Anti-(Anti-luminosity argument)

Available via Jean Nicod Archive, this paper by Denis Bonnay and Paul Egré should be of interest to those concerned with Williamson's anti-luminosity argument: "A non-standard Semantics for Inexact Knowledge with Introspection".
I pick out from the abstract : "We show how the semantics helps to solve Williamson's luminosity paradox, and argue that it corresponds to an integrated model of perceptual and introspective knowledge that is psychologically more plausible than the one defended by Williamson. A generalized version of the semantics is formulated, in which modalities are iteration-sensitive up to degree n and insensitive beyond n."
