Each meeting includes invited talks and tutorials as well as contributed papers. The twenty-seventh WoLLIC will be held online from October 5 to 8, 2021. It is scientifically sponsored by the Association for Symbolic Logic (ASL), the Interest Group in Pure and Applied Logics (IGPL), the The Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI), the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS), ACM Special Interest Group on Logic and Computation (ACM-SIGLOG) (TBC), the Sociedade Brasileira de Computação (SBC), and the Sociedade Brasileira de Lógica (SBL).</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">PAPER SUBMISSION</div><div dir="ltr">Contributions are invited on all pertinent subjects, with particular interest in cross-disciplinary topics. Typical but not exclusive areas of interest are: foundations of computing and programming; novel computation models and paradigms; broad notions of proof and belief; proof mining, type theory, effective learnability; formal methods in software and hardware development; logical approach to natural language and reasoning; logics of programs, actions and resources; foundational aspects of information organization, search, flow, sharing, and protection; foundations of mathematics; philosophy of mathematics; philosophical logic; philosophy of language. Proposed contributions should be in English, and consist of a scholarly exposition accessible to the non-specialist, including motivation, background, and comparison with related works. Articles should be written in the LaTeX format of LNCS by Springer (see authors instructions at <a href="http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0" target="_blank">http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0</a>). They must not exceed 12 pages, with up to 5 additional pages for references and technical appendices. The paper's main results must not be published or submitted for publication in refereed venues, including journals and other scientific meetings. It is expected that each accepted paper be presented at the meeting by one of its authors. (At least one author is required to pay the registration fee before granting that the paper will be published in the proceedings.) Papers must be submitted electronically at the WoLLIC 2020 EasyChair website (<a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wollic2021" target="_blank">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wollic2021</a>). </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">PROCEEDINGS</div><div dir="ltr">The proceedings of WoLLIC 2021, including both invited and contributed papers, will be published in advance of the meeting as a volume in Springer's LNCS series. In addition, abstracts will be published in the Conference Report section of the Logic Journal of the IGPL, and selected contributions will be published (after a new round of reviewing) as a special post-conference WoLLIC 2021 issue of a scientific journal (to be confirmed).</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">INVITED SPEAKERS</div><div dir="ltr">Catarina Dutilh Novaes (VU Amsterdam) </div><div dir="ltr">Santiago Figueira (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina)</div><div dir="ltr">Andreas Herzig (IRIT, France)</div><div dir="ltr">Cláudia Nalon (UnB - Brazil) </div><div dir="ltr">Giselle Reis (CMU - Qatar) </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">IMPORTANT DATES</div><div dir="ltr">May 15, 2021: Full paper deadline </div><div dir="ltr">June 23, 2021: Author notification</div><div dir="ltr">June 30, 2021: Final version deadline (firm)</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">PROGRAMME COMMITTEE</div><div dir="ltr">Carlos Areces (Cordoba, Argentina)<br></div><div dir="ltr">Arthur Amorim Azevedo (CMU, USA)</div><div dir="ltr">Nina Gierasimczuk (Technical University of Denmark, Denmark)</div><div dir="ltr">Justin Hsu (University of Wisconsin–Madison, USA)</div><div dir="ltr">Fairouz Kamareddine (Heriot-Watt University, UK) </div><div dir="ltr">Sandra Kiefer (Aachen University, Germany) </div><div dir="ltr">Clemens Kupke (Strathclyde University, Scotland)</div><div dir="ltr">Konstantinos Mamouras (Rice University, USA)</div><div dir="ltr">Maria Vanina Martinez (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina) </div><div dir="ltr">Larry Moss (Indiana Univ, USA)</div><div dir="ltr">Claudia Nalon (University of Brasília, Brazil) </div><div dir="ltr">Valeria de Paiva (Samsung Research, USA)</div><div dir="ltr">Elaine Pimentel (UFRN, Brazil) </div><div dir="ltr">Revantha Ramanayake (University of Groningen, The Netherlands) </div><div dir="ltr">Jurriaan Rot (Radboud University, The Netherlands)</div></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Alexandra Silva (Univ College London) (Co-Chair)</div><div dir="ltr">Christine Tasson (IRIF, France) </div><div dir="ltr">Sebastiaan Terwijn (Radboud University, The Netherlands)</div><div dir="ltr">Renata Wassermann (Univ São Paulo) (Co-Chair)</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">STEERING COMMITTEE</div><div dir="ltr">Samson Abramsky, Anuj Dawar, Juliette Kennedy, Ulrich Kohlenbach, Daniel Leivant, Leonid Libkin, Lawrence Moss, Luke Ong, Valeria de Paiva, Ruy de Queiroz. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">ADVISORY COMMITTEE</div><div dir="ltr">Johan van Benthem, Joe Halpern, Wilfrid Hodges, Angus Macintyre, Hiroakira Ono, Jouko Väänänen.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">ORGANISING COMMITTEE</div><div dir="ltr">Renata Wassermann (Univ São Paulo) (Co-Chair)</div><div dir="ltr">Alexandra Silva (Univ College London) (Co-Chair)</div><div dir="ltr">Anjolina G. de Oliveira (Univ Federal de Pernambuco, Brasil) </div><div dir="ltr">Ruy de Queiroz (Univ Federal de Pernambuco, Brasil) (co-chair)</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">SCIENTIFIC SPONSORSHIP </div><div dir="ltr">Interest Group in Pure and Applied Logics (IGPL) </div><div dir="ltr">The Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI)</div><div dir="ltr">Association for Symbolic Logic (ASL) </div><div dir="ltr">European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) </div><div dir="ltr">ACM Special Interest Group on Logic and Computation (ACM-SIGLOG) (TBC)</div><div dir="ltr">Sociedade Brasileira de Computação (SBC) </div><div dir="ltr">Sociedade Brasileira de Lógica (SBL)</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">SPECIAL SESSION: SCREENING OF MOVIES ABOUT MATHEMATICIANS</div><div dir="ltr">It is planned to have a special session with the exhibition of a one-hour documentary film about a remarkable mathematician whose contributions were recognized with a Fields Medal just a few years before her untimely death. It is a joint production (still on its course) of The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) and George Csicsery (Zala Films): ‘Secrets of the Surface - The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani’. “The biographical film is about Maryam Mirzakhani, a brilliant woman, and Muslim immigrant to the United States who became a superstar in her field. The story of her life will be complemented with sections about Mirzakhani’s mathematical contributions, as explained by colleagues and illustrated with animated sequences. Throughout, we will look for clues about the sources of Mirzakhani’s insights and creativity."
