Tutorial and Workshop on Logic and Cognitive Science

Linking Finite Model Theory, Descriptive Complexity, and the Study of Cognition

April 16-18, 1999

Philadelphia, PA, USA

Mathematics

Host: University of Pennsylvania
Sponsor: The Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS) of Rutgers University, The Institute for Research in Cognitive Science (IRCS) of the University of Pennsylvania
Homepage: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~ircs/workshops/lcs.html
Email: weinstein@cis.upenn.edu

Organizers: Moshe Y. Vardi (Rice University), Scott Weinstein (University of Pennsylvania)

Description:
The goal of the workshop is to generate a lively discussion between researchers in finite model theory and descriptive complexity and investigators in various areas of cognitive science. Obvious areas of potential interaction include the study of constraint satisfaction problems, the analysis and application of modal and temporal logics, and the construction of adequate languages for knowledge representation in areas from computational learning theory to robotics. It is our hope that the workshop will also bring to light further areas of potential interaction between finite model theory and cognitive science.

Speakers: Jon Barwise, Tom Dean, Henry Kautz, Christos Papadimitriou, Bill Rounds, Gyorgy Turan
