Edited in collaboration with FoLLI, the Association of Logic, Language and Information, this book constitutes the 5th volume of the FoLLI LNAI subline. It contains the refereed proceedings of the Third Indian Conference on Logic and Its Applications, ICLA 2009, held in Chennai, India, in January 2009.

The 12 revised full papers presented together with 7 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers present current research in all aspects of formal logic. They address in detail: algebraic logic and set theory, combinatorics and...

Paul Williams, a leading authority on modeling in integer programming, has written a concise, readable introduction to the science and art of using modeling in logic for integer programming. Written for graduate and postgraduate students, as well as academics and practitioners, the book is divided into four chapters that all avoid the typical format of definitions, theorems and proofs and instead introduce concepts and results within the text through examples. References are given at the end of each chapter to the more mathematical papers and texts on the subject, and exercises are...

The 17 revised full papers presented here cover all current issues of formal reasoning and computer programming based on type theory are addressed; in particular languages and computerised tools for reasoning, and applications in several domains such as analysis of programming languages, certified software, formalisation of mathematics and mathematics education.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, held in February 2006. The 17 revised full papers presented together with four invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers show advances in applied lattice and order theory and in particular scientific advances related to formal concept analysis and its practical applications: data and knowledge processing including data visualization, information retrieval, machine learning, data analysis and knowledge management.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Logic Programming, ICLP 2006, held in Seattle, WA, USA, in August 2006. This volume presents 20 revised full papers and 6 application papers together with 2 invited talks, 2 tutorials and special interest papers, as well as 17 poster presentations and the abstracts of 7 doctoral consortium articles. Coverage includes all issues of current research in logic programming.

Automata theory is the foundation of computer science. Its applications have spread to almost all areas of computer science and many other disciplines. In addition, there is a growing number of software systems designed to manipulate automata, regular expressions, grammars, and related structures.

This volume contains 24 regular papers from the 8th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata (CIAA 2003) held in Santa Barbara, CA, USA, in July 2003 covering various topics in the theory, implementation, and application of automata and related structures. It...

Decision modeling is a key area in the developing field of AI, and this timely work connects researchers and professionals with the very latest research. It constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Modeling Decisions for Artificial Intelligence, held in Kitakyushu, Japan, in August 2007. The 42 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited lectures are devoted to theory and tools, as well as applications.

A double-pronged approach makes this book an extremely useful addition to the literature on this highly relevant contemporary topic. Addressing two basic areas of application for algebras and coalgebras as mathematical objects as well as in the context of their application in computer science the papers cover topics such as abstract models and logics, specialised models and calculi, algebraic and coalgebraic semantics, and system specification and verification. The book is the refereed proceedings of the second CALCO conference, held in August 2007 in Norway.
