GENERAL INFORMATION

The International Conference ‘MODEL-BASED REASONING, ABDUCTIVE 
COGNITION, CREATIVITY. Inferences & Models in Science, Logic, Language, 
and Technology’ will be held at Sapienza University of Rome 
https://web.uniroma1.it/dip_filosofia/en/node/6157, from Wednesday 7th 
to Friday 9th of June 2023. The conference is organized by the 
Department of Humanities, Philosophy Section and Computational 
Philosophy Lab of the University of Pavia and the Department of 
Philosophy of Sapienza University of Rome. THe conference site will be 
at Villa Mirafiori https://turismoroma.it/en/places/villa-mirafiori, 
where the Departent of Philosophy is located.

PROGRAM

The conference will explore the logical, epistemological, and cognitive 
aspects of the modeling practices employed in science, technology, and 
cognitive science, including logical and computational models of such 
practices. We solicit papers that examine the model-based reasoning from 
philosophical, logical, epistemological, historical, sociological, 
psychological, or computational perspectives.
The conference will also cover the impact of model-based reasoning to 
enhance human cognitive skills— mental, hybrid, manipulative, etc.

SUBMISSIONS OF EXTENDED ABSTRACT AND SYMPOSIA PROPOSALS

Presentation Proposal
To take part in the conference, authors must submit an extended abstract 
of approximately 1000-1500 words by JANUARY 10th, 2023. It must be in 
.doc, .rtf, or LaTeX.
If you use LaTex, Bibtex is preferred. Here is the LATEX template, and 
the Word template.
The extended abstract must also contain a 300-word abstract for the 
conference web site/booklet.
Please send it to the co-chair Lorenzo Magnani lmagnani at unipv.it.


Symposia Proposal (intended for approx. 4-5 participants)
Please send a 2-page symposium proposal by JANUARY 10th, 2023 to the 
co-chair Emiliano Ippoliti emi.ippoliti at gmail.com.

All submitted extended abstracts will be reviewed. The precise format of 
the conference will be decided once the revision process is completed. 
We expect approximately 60/80 contributed presentations. Reviewed 
proposals will be scored as follows:

     Accepted for half-hour presentation;
     Accepted for poster session;
     Rejected


After the conference, all the authors of accepted proposals are entitled 
to submit a complete paper for the proceedings to be sent to Lorenzo 
Magnani, lmagnani at unipv.it
