HyLo 2009

CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Hybrid Logic 2009 (HyLo 2009) "Conmemorating the Ten Years of HyLo" http://hylo.loria.fr/content/Hylo09 15 - 17 July, 2009 Nancy, France

WORKSHOP PURPOSE:

Hybrid logic is a branch of modal logic allowing direct reference to worlds/times/states. It is easy to justify interest in hybrid logic on the grounds of applications, as the additional expressive power is very useful. In addition, hybrid-logical machinery improves the behaviour of the underlying modal formalism. For example, it becomes considerably simpler to formulate modal proof systems, and one can prove completeness and interpolation results of a generality that is not available in orthodox modal logic. But more generally, the topic of HyLo 2009 is not only standard hybrid-logical machinery (like nominals, satisfaction operators, binders, etc) but also extensions of modal logic that increase its expressive power in one way or other.

HyLo 2009 will be an special event, conmemorating the ten years since the organization of the first HyLo workshop in 1999.

HyLo 2009 will be relevant to a wide range of people, including those interested in description logic, feature logic, applied modal logics, temporal logic, and labelled deduction. The workshop continues a series of previous workshops on hybrid logic. The workshop aims to provide a forum for advanced PhD students and researchers to present and discuss their work with colleagues and researchers.

For more general background on hybrid logic, and many of the key papers, see the Hybrid Logics homepage (http://hylo.loria.fr/).

SUBMISSION DETAILS:

We invite the contribution of papers reporting new work from researchers interested in hybrid logic. Details about the submission procedure will be announced in the second call for papers. The accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, and selected papers will be included in a special volume to conmemorate the 10th aniversary of the first Hybrid Logic Workshop.

Please use the HyLo09 submission page at
