Registration

The last European Congress of the Association for Symbolic Logic of the millennium will be held in Paris, July 23 - 31, 2000. The meeting site will be the Sorbonne, where David Hilbert presented his famous list of problems at the International Congress of Mathematicians in August 1900.

Local registration is on Sunday morning, July 23rd at the Sorbonne (17 rue de la Sorbonne), and the congress activities will start in late morning. We will have 24 plenary talks and 4 tutorials, as well as parallel sessions of contributed talks. There will be two free afternoons with planned excursions, and a banquet.

Main themes of the conference: Proof theory and logical foundations of computer science, Set theory, Model theory, Computability and complexity theory, History of 20th century logic, Philosophy, and Applications of logic to cognitive sciences.

Program Committee : Daniel Andler (Paris IV), Chantal Berline (CNRS-Paris7), Barry Cooper (Leeds), Dirk van Dalen (Utrecht), Akihiro Kanamori (Boston), Charles Parsons (Harvard), Alexander Razborov (Steklov, Moscou), Helmut Schwichtenberg (München), John Steel (Berkeley), Stevo Todorcevic (CNRS-Paris7), Alex Wilkie (Oxford), Carol Wood (Chairperson, Wesleyan University).

Organising Committee : Chantal Berline (CNRS-Paris7), Zoé Chatzidakis (CNRS-Paris7), René Cori (Chairman, Paris7-CNRS), Máximo Dickmann (CNRS-Paris7), Jacques Dubucs (CNRS-Paris1), Jean-Baptiste Joinet (Paris1-CNRS), Daniel Lascar (CNRS-Paris7), Yves Legrandgérard (Paris7-CNRS), Jean Mosconi (Paris1-CNRS), Marie-Hélène Mourgues (IUFM de Créteil - CNRS), Catherine Muhlrad-Greif (Paris7-CNRS), Leszek Pacholski (Wroclaw, representing the ASL), Donald Pelletier (York), Jean-Pierre Ressayre (CNRS-Paris7), Boban Velickovic (Paris7-CNRS), Françoise Ville (Paris7-CNRS).

Incorporated into the nine days of this Logic Colloquium will be the European Logic Summer School 2000 (ELSS 2000), which is partially supported by the European Community. Through ELSS 2000 we are able to emphasise the importance of training of young researchers in logic. The summer school portion of the program includes all the tutorials, together with invited lectures chosen for the combination of high scientific level and broad perspective each offers to the newest members of the community of logicians.

Satellite meeting:

Fixed Points in Computer Science, 22nd and 23rd of July 2000, Paris, France. Organised by the LIAFA (ERS 586, CNRS, Université Denis Diderot - Paris 7) and by the UFR d'Informatique de l'Université Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris 6. E-mail address: ig@liafa.jussieu.fr
Least fixed point operators are linked to inductive structures and inductive reasoning, while largest fixed point operators correspond to co-induction. When formalizing mathematics within logical systems one is often lead to axiomatize inductive and co-inductive reasoning via such operators. More generally, fixed point operators are used to represent recursive structures or functions, in logic and in theoretical computer science.
