CL&C 2012 - Call for participation


************ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ************

CL&C'12 
- ICALP'12 Workshop

Fourth International Workshop on
Classical Logic and Computation

July 8, 2012, Warwick - England

http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~svb/CLaC12/

CL&C'12 is the fourth of a conference series on "Classical Logic and Computation". It intends to cover all work aiming to explore computational aspects of classical logic and mathematics.

The fact that classical mathematical proofs of simply existential statements can be read as programs was established by Goedel and Kreisel half a century ago. But the possibility of extracting useful computational content from classical proofs was taken seriously only from the 1990s on when it was discovered that proof interpretations based on Goedel's and Kreisel's ideas can provide new nontrivial algorithms and numerical results, and the Curry-Howard correspondence can be extended to classical logic via programming concepts such as continuations and control operators.

CL&C is focused on the exploration of the computational content of mathematical and logical principles. The scientific aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from both fields and exchange ideas.
