                                CALL FOR PAPERS

			DEADLINE EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 9 !!


ALI, the Association for Logic in India, announces the seventh edition of
its biennial International Conference on Logic and its Applications
(ICLA), to be held at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur,  from
January 5 to 7, 2017. ICLA 2017 will be co-located with the Methods for
Modalities Workshop to be held during January 8-10, 2017.

ICLA is a forum for bringing together researchers from a wide 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
https://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~icla15/.

The earlier events in this series featured many eminent logicians as
invited speakers, and we are pleased to announce that this year's
speakers will include:

Nicholas Asher, IRIT Toulouse

Natasha Dobrinen, University of Denver

Luke Ong, University of Oxford 

Richard Zach, University of Calgary  


Submission
----------

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished
research in any area of logic and applications.  Articles on mathematical
and philosophical logic, computer science logic, foundations and philosophy
of mathematics and the sciences, use of formal logic in areas of theoretical
computer science and artificial intelligence, logic and linguistics, history
of logic, Indian systems of logic, or on the relationship between logic and
other branches of knowledge, are welcome.

Submissions must be in English and should provide sufficient detail to
allow the programme committee to assess the merits of the paper. The
