                              An ESSLLI04 Workshop on
              Logic and Communication in Multi-Agent Systems
               http://www.win.tue.nl/%7Eevink/lcmas04.html

                    NEW: PUBLICATION DETAILS - SEE BELOW

The workshop, this year in its second edition, aims at bringing
together graduate students and researchers interested in topics
related to the use of formal tools when applied to modelling,
specifying, verifying, and reasoning about multi-agent systems in
which communication and updating play a crucial role. Specifically,
the workshop aims at providing a forum for discussing technical issues
that arise with formalisms (epistemic, temporal, dynamic and
authentication logics and tools) inspired by the needs of modelling
information exchanges in multi-agent systems.

The workshop will be held within the context of ESSLLI04, the 2004
edition of the European Summer School on Logic Language and
Computation, to be held in Nancy in August 2004.

WORKSHOP SPECIFIC THEMES

Particular focus of attention will be given to papers relating to the
following specific themes:

   * Dynamics of epistemic positions: Combinations of epistemic logic
     and temporal logic (and related semantical issues) resulting from
     communicative acts, such as message passing, broadcasting, etc.
     Modelling of epistemic updates, and refinements following
     communicative acts.

   * Communication protocols: Semantics for communications processes in
     multi-agent systems. Formal dependencies between communication
     protocols and intensional (e.g., epistemic) properties of the
     agents. Using CSP and CCP for agent-communication.

   * Security and authorisation: Logics (deontic logic, BAN logic, etc.)
     for security and authorisation, where the assumption that the other
     agents in the network are cooperative, or at least not hostile, is
     dropped. Semantics for authorisation logics that are general and
     complete, or languages that are strong enough to prove that certain
     occasions (intruders entering the network, unwanted eavesdropping)
     do not occur.

   * Semantics of speech acts: Logical semantics of speech acts and
     institutional communication. Semantics of agent communication
     languages and their relationship to speech acts. Logics for
     planning speech acts. Relationships between speech act theory and
     belief revision & epistemic updates.

as well as an opportunity for individual practice) and visits to the UNC
and Duke University libraries. The teaching team includes Drs. Seamus Ross
and Ian Anderson from Glasgow, Dr. Helen Tibbo from UNC-CH, and Dr. Paul
Conway from Duke University.

Enrollment is limited, so please register early to confirm a place.
COSTS, REGISTRATION, AND DEADLINES. Course Fees (including study materials,
mid-morning coffee, lunch, afternoon coffee breaks, and two dinners.
Accommodations are not included):

- Advanced booking price: $700 (if a place is booked and the course fees
are paid by February 15th, 2004).
- Normal price: $800 (if a place is booked and the course fees are paid
after February 15, 2004)

WORKSHOP ON GUARDED LOGICS: PROOF TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS
9 - 13 August 2004
organized as part of
European Summer School on Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI 2004)
(http://esslli2004.loria.fr/)
9 - 20 August 2004 in Nancy.

Workshop organizer: Natasha Alechina

Workshop purpose

It's been almost ten years since Andreka, van Benthem and Nemeti proved
decidability of the guarded fragment of first order logic. Given how natural
and expressive guarded quantification is, this result gave logicians a
powerful tool of proving decidability of many formalisms arising in computer
science applications, and generated much research into extensions of the
guarded fragment to fixed point logic, transitive guards etc. A wealth of
new proof techniques developed as a result. The workshop intends to bring
this research together for the benefit of advanced logic and computer
science PhD students interested in the area, and use a mixture of invited
and contributed talks to cover both the new proof techniques and the
relevance of guarded quantification for applications of logic in computer
science.
