THE 2016 ALONZO CHURCH AWARD
FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO LOGIC AND COMPUTATION
http://siglog.hosting.acm.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/church16.pdf
* The 2016 Alonzo Church Award for Outstanding Contributions to Logic
and Computation is given to Rajeev Alur and David Dill for their
invention of timed automata, a decidable model of real-time systems,
which combines a novel, elegant, deep theory with widespread
practical impact.
Rajeev Alur and David Dill: A theory of timed automata.
Theoretical Computer Science 126(2):183-235, 1994.
* Alur and Dill will receive the award at the 31st Annual ACM/IEEE
Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS), which will be held on
July 5-8, 2016, at Columbia University, New York City, USA.
* The Award was established in 2015 by the ACM Special Interest Group
for Logic and Computation (SIGLOG), the European Association for
Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS), the European Association for
Computer Science Logic (EACSL), and the Kurt Goedel Society
(KGS). It recognises an outstanding contribution represented by a
paper or small group of papers within the past 25 years; this is the
first such award. The Award Committee consisted of Catuscia
Palamidessi, Gordon Plotkin, Wolfgang Thomas, and Moshe Vardi
(chair).
ACM SIGLOG ANNOUNCEMENT
http://siglog.acm.org
* The ACM has recently chartered a Special Interest Group on Logic and
Computation (ACM SIGLOG).
* We are pleased to announce the 2016 ACM SIGLOG election results for
the term of 1 July 2016 - 30 June 2019. The SIGLOG Chair is Prakash
Panangaden and the other officers are Luke Ong (vice-Chair), Amy
Felty (Treasurer) and Alexandra Silva (Secretary).
* The ACM-IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science is the flagship
conference of SIGLOG. SIGLOG will also actively seek association
agreements with other conferences in the field. A SIGLOG newsletter
(SIGLOG News) is also published quarterly in an electronic format
with community news, technical columns, members' feedback,
conference reports, book reviews and other items of interest to the
community.
* One can join SIGLOG by visiting
https://campus.acm.org/public/qj/gensigqj/siglist/gensigqj_siglist.cfm
It is possible to join SIGLOG without joining ACM (the SIGLOG
membership fee is $25 and $15 for students).

variety of fields in which formal logic plays a significant role,
along with mathematicians, computer scientists, philosophers and
logicians studying foundations of formal logic in itself. A special
feature of this conference is the inclusion of studies in systems of
logic in the Indian tradition, and historical research on
logic. Details of the last ICLA (2015) may be found at

Track on Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR)
Website: http://www.dmi.unipg.it/bista/organizing/KR@sac2017/
* OVERVIEW: The topic of the track covers an important field of
research in Artificial Intelligence: KRR is indeed a trending topic
(for instance, its Argumentation-theory subfield). A similar
dedicated conference is the International Conference on Principles
of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, but all the major
conferences in AI (e.g., AAAI, IJCAI, AAMAS, ECAI) have KRR among
their topics of interest. KRR track will be a venue for all the
researchers and practitioners working on the fundaments (but also
applications) of reasoning, and the cross-fertilization among
different approaches (e.g., Argumentation and Belief Revision). ACM
SAC is ranked CORE:B, MAS:A-, SHINE:A. The average acceptance rate
per track is under 25%.
* CALL FOR PAPER: Knowledge-representation is the field of artificial
intelligence that focuses on designing computer representations that
capture information about the world that can be used to solve
complex problems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Argumentation
- Belief revision and update, belief merging, etc.
- Commonsense reasoning
- Constraint Programming and KRR
- Contextual reasoning
- Description logics
- Diagnosis, abduction, explanation
- Inconsistency- and exception tolerant reasoning, para-consistent
logics
- KR and autonomous agents: intelligent agents, cognitive
robotics, multi-agent systems
- KR and decision making, game theory,
social choice
- KR and machine learning, inductive logic programming, knowledge
discovery and acquisition
- Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint logic
programming
- Non-monotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics
- Preferences: modeling and representation, preference-based
reasoning
- Reasoning about knowledge and belief, dynamic epistemic logic,
epistemic and doxastic logics
- Reasoning systems and solvers, knowledge compilation
- Spatial reasoning and temporal reasoning, qualitative reasoning
- Uncertainty, representations of vagueness, many-valued and fuzzy
logics
