============== *Call for Papers* ============== --------------------------------------------------------------- ICLA 2027: Indian Conference on Logic and its Applications January 6 - 8, 2027 The Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India https://conf.researchr.org/home/icla-2027 *Extended submission deadline:* September 3, 2026 AoE Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icla2027 Notification to authors: October 31, 2026 --------------------------------------------------------------- ICLA 2027 is the 12th edition of the biennial conference organised by the Association for Logic in India (ALI). It serves as a forum that brings together researchers from a variety of disciplines in which formal logic plays a significant, and often foundational, role, including Mathematics, Computer Science, Philosophy, Linguistics, and Cognitive Science. A distinctive feature of ICLA is its inclusion of research on systems of logic in the Indian tradition, as well as historical studies of logic. Details of ICLA 2025 can be found here, and information about earlier editions of the conference is available on the ALI website. https://logicindia.org/icla/icla2025/ https://logicindia.org/ ICLA 2027 will be held at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, from January 6–8, 2027. Pre-conference workshops will be held on January 5, 2027. *List of Topics* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following.

Submissions must be written in English and should provide sufficient detail to enable the Programme Committee to assess the merits of the work. Papers may not exceed 12 pages, excluding references, and must be prepared using the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes LaTeX2e style: https://link.springer.com/series/558/information-for-authors-and-editors If necessary, detailed proofs of technical results may be included in a clearly marked appendix, which may be consulted at the discretion of the Programme Committee. Submissions must be in PDF format. All submissions must be made electronically through the EasyChair conference management system using the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icla2027 Simultaneous submission to journals or to other conferences with published proceedings is not permitted. Submitted papers will undergo peer review, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings will appear as a volume in the FoLLI Publications on Logic, Language and Information, a subseries of Springer LNCS. To be included in the proceedings, at least one author of each accepted paper must commit to presenting the paper at the conference. *Invited Speakers* - Anuj Dawar (University of Cambridge) - Andreas Herzig (IRIT, Toulouse) - Angelo Montanari (University of Udine) - Greg Restall (University of St Andrews) *Important Dates* ************************************************************************ Extended Submission Deadline: September 3, 2026 AoE Notification to Authors: October 31, 2026 Deadline for camera-ready papers: November 11, 2026 Pre-conference workshops: January 5, 2027 ICLA 2027: January 6-8, 2027 ************************************************************************ *Programme Committee* Sreejith A V [IIT Palakkad] Philippe Balbiani [IRIT, Toulouse] Nick Bezhanishvili [University of Amsterdam] Abhishek De [Krea University] Tim French [The University of Western Australia] Malvin Gattinger [University of Amsterdam] Sujata Ghosh [Indian Statistical Institute, Chennai] (co-chair) Shibashis Guha [Tata Institute of Fundamental Research] Eberhard Guhe [Fudan University] Yurii Khomskii [University of Amsterdam] Arun Kumar [Banaras Hindu University] Graham Leigh [University of Gothenburg] Dazhu Li [Chinese Academy of Sciences] Hitoshi Omori [Tohoku University] Anantha Padmanabha [IIT Madras] Sophie Pinchinat [IRISA, Universite de Rennes] Dilip Raghavan [National University of Singapore] Subhajit Roy [IIT Kanpur] Prakash Saivasan [Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai] Manidipa Sanyal [University of Calcutta] Sunil Simon [IIT Kanpur] (co-chair) S P Suresh [Chennai Mathematical Institute] Ramanathan Thinniyam Srinivasan [Uppsala University] Sourav Tarafder [St. Xavier's College, Kolkata] Sara Uckelman [Durham University] Yanjing Wang [Peking University] *Organising Committee* Deepak D’Souza [Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore] Siddhartha Gadgil [Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore] Kamal Lodaya [BGVS Bangalore]
