[FOM] CFP: THE STUDENT SESSION OF THE THIRD EAST-ASIAN SCHOOL ON LOGIC, LANGUAGE AND COMPUTATION (EASLLC 2014)

[jkennedy at mappi.helsinki.fi]

The Third East-Asian School on Logic, Language and Computation (EASLLC  
2014) will take place at Tsinghua University, China on July 2-8, 2014.  
  The event will start with an international workshop “Current Trends  
in Logic” on July 2, and continue with the school on July 3-8. The  
program of the School will consist of six courses on logic in its  
interdisciplinary width. The courses cover logic, philosophy, computer  
science, and linguistics, with an emphasis on interaction between  
fields. There will be two plenary evening talks for a wider audience.
In addition, there will be student sessions in the late  
afternoon/early evening. The student session is a forum for students  
at all levels (Bachelor, Master or PhD) to present original research  
to the audience. We plan a "mentoring" program in which selected  
students will be assigned to one of the lecturers for informal  
interaction and research/career discussions.

We invite submissions of abstracts of original, unpublished papers  
from students in the area of logic, language and computation.  
Submissions will be reviewed by several experts in the field. Authors  
of accepted papers will be invited to present in the student session,  
and a selected number of them will be provided with free reasonable  
accommodation.

Instruction for Authors:

Students are invited to submit an abstract of maximum 5 pages on any  
topic in logic, language and computation. The abstract should be  
written in properly readable English, and must be in PDF format that  
is to be submitted using our EasyChair website.

Important Dates:

April 1, 2014 - deadline for short abstracts of papers (at most 5 pages)
April 20, 2014 - notification date of acceptance/rejection of the papers
