3rd DaLí Workshop

Dynamic Logic: New Trends and Applications

Online, 9-10 October 2020

---

Overview

Building on the pioneer intuitions of Floyd-Hoare logic, dynamic logic was introduced in the 70's as a suitable logic to reason about, and verify, classic imperative programs. Since then, the original intuitions grew to an entire family of logics, which became increasingly popular for assertional reasoning about a wide range of computational systems. Simultaneously, their object (i.e. the very notion of a program) evolved in unexpected ways. This led to dynamic logics tailored to specific programming paradigms and extended to new computing domains, including probabilistic, continuous and quantum computation. Both its theoretical relevance and practical potential make dynamic logic a topic of interest in a number of scientific venues, from wide-scope software engineering conferences to modal logic specific events. However, no specific event is exclusively dedicated to it. This workshop aims at filling this gap and creating a heterogeneous community of colleagues, from Academia to Industry, from Mathematics to Computer Science.

Topics

Submissions are invited on the general field of dynamic logic, its variants and applications, including, but not restricted to

• Dynamic logic, foundations and applications
• Logics with regular modalities
• Modal/temporal/epistemic logics
• Kleene and action algebras and their variants
• Quantum dynamic logic
• Coalgebraic modal/dynamic logics
• Graded and fuzzy dynamic logics
• Dynamic logics for cyber-physical systems
• Dynamic epistemic logic
• Complexity and decidability of variants of dynamic logics and temporal logics
• Model checking, model generation and theorem proving for dynamic logics

Invited Speakers

• Natasha Alechina (Utrecht)
• Johan van Benthem (U Amsterdam / Stanford / Tsinghua U)

Practical Arrangements, Registration and Fees

Given the worsening epidemiological situation, we have decided to hold DaLi as an online workshop via Zoom.

To register for participation in the workshop, contact the PC/OC chair Igor Sedlár, stating your full name and affiliation. You will be contacted with details concerning Zoom streaming of the workshop. Registration fees are waived.

Volume of Abstracts

You will find the workshop volume here. It contains the schedule, abstracts of all talks and some practical information.

Publication

The proceedings from the workshop were published by Springer. See also the proceedings from the previous editions.

Extended versions of selected contributions will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Logic and Computation.
