Modalities and predicates have since ancient time been centralnotions of logic. In the 20th century, various systems ofnon-classical logics have emerged, with applications in many disciplines like Computer Science, Linguistics, Mathematics,and Philosophy. This gave rise to the questions of a non-classical treatment of quantifiers and modalities and the accommodation of quantifiers and modalities in non-classical logics. In response, various modal and predicate variants of non-classical logics havebeen introduced and studied in the past decades.
NCMPL is a conference series solely dedicated to modal and predicate non-classical logics. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from various branches of non-classical logics, not only to present recent advances in their particular fields, but also to identify common problems and methods and foster the exchange of ideas between researchers from separate fields.
After two editions in Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou (Canton), China, the third edition will be held in Bochum, Germany, November 23-26, 2021. Due to ongoing travel restrictions, the conference will be held in a hybrid format (i.e., both on-site and online).
Topics of interest
* The study of first- or higher-order variants of non-classical logics, including, but not limited to:
- Predicate intuitionistic and superintuitionistic logics
- Predicate modal logics
- Predicate substructural logics (relevant, linear, fuzzy, etc.)
- Predicate many-valued and partial logics
- Predicate paraconsistent logics
- Predicate contra-classical logics
- Predicate non-monotonic logics, etc.
* Non-classical theories of quantification (over classical logic as well as non-classical logics), such as:
- Free logics
- Branching quantifiers, dependence logic, and IF-logic
- Generalized quantifiers
- Propositional quantification
* Expansions by modalities of (propositional or predicate) non-classical logics, including:
- Modal extensions of (super)intuitionistic, substructural, many-valued, paraconsistent, non-monotonic, etc., logics
- Co-algebraic treatment of modalities
* Non-classical and non-standard mathematics, including:
- Intuitionistic and constructive mathematics
- Substructural mathematics (relevant, fuzzy, etc.)
- Inconsistent mathematics
- Non-standard analysis, alternative set theories, etc.
The scope includes theoretical works on the above topics coming from all branches of formal logic (proof-theory, model theory, game theory, computational complexity, philosophical and historical aspects), as well as their applications in computer science, linguistics, philosophy, etc.
Strong papers on propositional logics can also be accepted, provided they relate to the themes in the main scope of the conference (e.g., the study of completions in algebraic semantics, infinitary logics, etc.).
Full versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of an international peer-reviewed journal (to be specified).
