------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Apologies for multiple copies] ============================================================================================ TOPOLOGY, ALGEBRA, AND CATEGORIES IN LOGIC (TACL2015) School & Conference Call for extended abstracts ============================================================================================ School: 15 - 19 June 2015, University of Salerno (Italy) Conference: 21 - 26 June 2015, Ischia Island (Italy) http://logica.dmi.unisa.it/tacl/ Scope --------- Studying logics via semantics is a well-established and very active branch of mathematical logic, with many applications, in computer science and elsewhere. The area is characterised by results, tools and techniques stemming from various fields, including universal algebra, topology, category theory, order, and model theory. The programme of the conference TACL 2015 will focus on three interconnecting mathematical themes central to the semantic study of logics and their applications: algebraic, categorical, and topological methods. This is the seventh conference in the series Topology, Algebra, and Categories in Logic (TACL). Earlier instalments of this conference have been organised in Tbilisi (2003), Barcelona (2005), Oxford (2007), Amsterdam (2009), Marseilles (2011), and Nashville (2013). Starting from 2013, the conference is preceded by a one-week school. This year the school will be held at the campus of the University of Salerno and will include four tutorials, each consisting of 2 hour lectures for four days. Featured topics --------------------- Contributed talks can be on any topic involving the use of algebraic, categorical or topological methods in either logic or computer science. This includes, but is not limited to, the following areas: * Algebraic structures in CS * Algebraic logic * Coalgebra * Categorical methods in logic * Domain theory * Lattice theory * Lattices with operators * Many-valued and fuzzy logics * Modal logics * Non-classical logics * Ordered topological spaces * Ordered algebraic structures * Point-free topology * Proofs and Types * Residuated structures * Semantics * Stone-type dualities * Substructural logics * Topological semantics of modal logic Invited Speakers ------------------------------ Olivia Caramello (Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques) Agata Ciabattoni (Technische Universität Wien) Maria Manuel Clementino (Universidade de Coimbra) Emil Jeřábek (Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic) André Joyal (Université du Québec) Keith A.
