4th WORKSHOP ON HYBRID LOGICS
LICS 2002 Affiliated Workshop
>>> JULY 25, 2002 <<<
Copenhagen, Denmark
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
THEME:
Hybrid logic is a branch of modal logic in which it is possible to
directly refer to worlds/times/states or whatever the elements of the
(Kripke) model are meant to represent. Although they date back to the
late 1960s, and have been sporadically investigated ever since, it is
only in the 1990s that work on them really got into its stride.
It is easy to justify interest in hybrid logic on applied grounds,
with the usefulness of the additional expressive power. For example,
when reasoning about time one often wants to build up a series of
assertions about what happens at a particular instant, and standard
modal formalisms do not allow this. What is less obvious is that the
route hybrid logic takes to overcome this problem (the basic
mechanism being to add nominals --- atomic symbols true at a unique
point --- together with extra modalities to exploit them) often
actually improves the behavior of the underlying modal formalism. For
example, it becomes far simpler to formulate modal tableau and
resolution in hybrid logic, and completeness and interpolation
results can be proved of a generality that is simply not available in
modal logic. That is, hybridization --- adding nominals and related
apparatus --- seems a fairly reliable way of curing many known
weaknesses in modal logic. For more general background on hybrid
logic, and many of the key papers, see the Hybrid Logics homepage:
HyLo@LICS is likely to be relevant to a wide range of people,
including those interested in description logic, feature logic,
applied modal logics, temporal logic, and labelled deduction.
Moreover, if you have an interest in the work of the late Arthur
Prior, note that this workshop is devoted to exploring ideas he first
introduced 30 years ago --- it will be an ideal opportunity to see
how his ideas have been developed in the intervening period.
In this workshop we hope to bring together researchers from all the
different fields just mentioned (and hopefully some others) in an
attempt to explore what they all have (and do not have) in common. If
you're unsure whether your work is of relevance to the workshop,
please check out the Hybrid Logics homepage. And do not hesitate to
contact the workshop organisers for more information. We'd be
delighted to tell you more. Contact details are give below.
INVITED TALKS
We are very pleased to announce that Professors Moshe Vardi and Melvin
Fitting have accepted to be invited speakers at HyLo@LICS. Program and
titles of the talks will be released in following announcement, but we
are already looking forward to hear about their perspective on Hybrid
Logics.

The Center for Intellectual Property at the University of Maryland University College is hosting a seminar titled: Copyright Management in Higher Education: Access, Control and Use April 4th - 5th 2002. http://www.umuc.edu/distance/odell/cip/copy_manage2002/
The digital age has greatly increased concerns about ownership, access, and control of copyrighted information. As substantial users and creators of copyrighted information, colleges and universities must develop mechanisms that effectively manage information on the networked campus. Protective technologies are being developed that hold the promise of perfect control and the peril of substantially limited access to information. Comprehensive intellectual property policies are needed to provide clear guidelines for ownership and proper use of information. Moreover, stakeholders in higher education should understand the substantial changes being made in federal information policy that will affect colleges and universities in the twenty-first century.
The Keynote speaker will be Laura "Lolly" Gasaway, Director, Law Library, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Intellectual Property Scholar, Center for Intellectual Property, University of Maryland University College.
Additional confirmed presenters and panelist include:
- Dan L. Burk, Faculty Associate, Center for Bioethics; Professor, University of Minnesota Law School; and Associate Director, Joint Degree Program in Law, Health, and the Life Sciences. - Kim Kelley, Associate Provost and Executive Director of the Center for Intellectual Property, University of Maryland University College - Todd Kelley, Associate Provost and Librarian of the College, St. Mary's College of Maryland - Arnold P. Lutzker, Partner, Lutzker & Lutzker LLP - Carol Risher, Senior Vice President-Business Development Savantech, Inc. - Siva Vaidhyanathan, Assistant Professor, School of Library and Information Studies, University of Wisconsin at Madison - John C. Vaughn, Executive Vice President, Association of American Universities - Fred (Rick) W. Weingarten, Director of the Office for Information Technology Policy of the American Library Association - Dr. Larry Wilt, Director of the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Please register early since space is limited. Early registration ends March 21, 2002.
