Call for Applications: Helmut Veith Stipend for Women in Computer Science
The Call for 2021 is already closed!
Deadline: November 30, 2021: The VCLA invites motivated and outstanding female students in the field of computer science (CS)
Talk: Lutz Strassburger
Lutz Strassburger, Research Director at Inria Research Centre Saclay – Île-de-France and Laboratoire d’Informatique (LIX).
Abstract:
In this talk I will discuss the problem of proof identity, and then give a gentle introduction to combinatorial proofs for first-order logic. I will also investigate the relationship between combinatorial and syntactic proofs. Whereas syntactic proofs are formalized in a deductive proof system based on […]
Talk: Hans van Ditmarsch
Hans van Ditmarsch, Open University, the Netherlands
ABSTRACT
The following riddle that came to me by way of the well-known computer scientist Moshe Vardi, was spreading like
wildfire while I was teaching at the logic summer school ESSLLI 2003 in Vienna:
” A group of 100 prisoners, all together in the prison dining area, are told that they […]
