* In 1996, as part of its Special Year on Logic and Algorithms, DIMACS
hosted the first Federated Logic Conference (FLoC). It was modelled
after the successful Federated Computer Research Conference (FCRC),
and synergetically brought together conferences that apply logic to
computer science.
* The seventh Federated Logic Conference (FLoC'18) will be held in
Oxford, UK, in July 2018, at the Mathematical Institute and the
Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford. FLoC
2018 brings together nine major international conferences related to

THE 2018 ALONZO CHURCH AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO LOGIC
AND COMPUTATION
Call for Nominations
Deadline: March 1, 2018
* INTRODUCTION: An annual award, called the Alonzo Church Award for
Outstanding Contributions to Logic and Computation, 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 Gödel Society (KGS). The award is for an
outstanding contribution represented by a paper or by a small group
of papers published within the past 25 years. This time span allows
the lasting impact and depth of the contribution to have been
established. The award can be given to an individual, or to a group
of individuals who have collaborated on the research. For the rules
governing this award, see:
http://siglog.org/awards/alonzo-church-award/.
* The 2017 Alonzo Church Award was given jointly to Samson Abramsky,
Radha Jagadeesan, Pasquale Malacaria, Martin Hyland, Luke Ong, and
Hanno Nickau for providing a fully-abstract semantics for
higher-order computation through the introduction of game models,
see: http://siglog.org/winners-of-the-2017-alonzo-church-award/.
* ELIGIBILITY AND NOMINATIONS:
The contribution must have appeared in a paper or papers published
within the past 25 years. Thus, for the 2018 award, the cut-off date
is January 1, 1993. When a paper has appeared in a conference and
then in a journal, the date of the journal publication will
determine the cut-off date. In addition, the contribution must not
yet have received recognition via a major award, such as the Turing
Award, the Kanellakis Award, or the Gödel Prize. (The nominee(s) may
have received such awards for other contributions.) While the
contribution can consist of conference or journal papers, journal
papers will be given a preference.
* Nominations for the 2018 award are now being solicited. The
nominating letter must summarise the c ontribution and make the case
that it is fundamental and outstanding. The nominating letter can
have multiple co-signers. Self-nominations are excluded. Nominations
must include: a proposed citation (up to 25 words); a succinct
(100-250 words) description of the contribution; and a detailed
statement (not exceeding four pages) to justify the
nomination. Nominations may also be accompanied by supporting
letters and other evidence of worthiness.
* DEADLINE: Nominations should be submitted to
catuscia@lix.polytechnique.fr by March 1, 2018.
* PRESENTATION OF THE AWARD The 2018 award will be presented at ICALP
2018, the International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and
Programming. The award will be accompanied by an invited lecture by
the award winner, or by one of the award winners. The awardee(s)
will receive a certificate and a cash prize of USD 2,000. If there
are multiple awardees, this amount will be shared.
* AWARD COMMITTEE The 2018 Alonzo Church Award Committee consists of
the following five members: Thomas Eiter, Javier Esparza, Catuscia
Palamidessi (chair), Gordon Plotkin, and Natarajan Shankar.

SPECIAL ISSUE OF IJAR ON "DEFEASIBLE AND AMPLIATIVE REASONING"
Call for Papers
* Classical reasoning is not flexible enough when directly applied to
the formalization of certain nuances of decision making as done by
humans. These involve different kinds of reasoning such as reasoning
with uncertainty, exceptions, similarity, vagueness, incomplete or
contradictory information and many others.
* Everyday reasoning usually shows the two salient
intertwined aspects below:
- Ampliative aspect: augmenting the underlying reasoning by allowing
more conclusions.
- Defeasible aspect: curtailing the underlying reasoning by either
disregarding or disallowing some conclusions that somehow ought not
to be sanctioned.
* This special issue aims at bringing together work on defeasible and
ampliative reasoning from the perspective of artificial
intelligence, cognitive sciences, philosophy and related disciplines
in a multi-disciplinary way, thereby consolidating the mission of
the DARe workshop series.
* The submission url is: http://www.evise.com/evise/jrnl/IJA

issue'' as the article type.

the usual Logic in Computer Science (LICS) topics. These are listed
as automata theory, automated deduction, categorical models and
logics, concurrency and distributed computation, constraint
programming, constructive mathematics, database theory, decision
procedures, description logics, domain theory, finite model theory,
formal aspects of program analysis, formal methods, foundations of
computability, higher-order logic, lambda and combinatory calculi,
