International Workshop on Hybrid Logic 2009 (HyLo 2009) - Call for Papers

"Commemorating the Ten Years of HyLo"
15 - 17 July, 2009
Nancy, France

WORKSHOP PURPOSE:
Hybrid logic is a branch of modal logic allowing direct referenceto worlds/times/states. It is easy to justify interest in hybridlogic on the grounds of applications, as the additional expressivepower is very useful. In addition, hybrid-logical machineryimproves the behaviour of the underlying modal formalism. Forexample, it becomes considerably simpler to formulate modal proofsystems, and one can prove completeness and interpolation resultsof a generality that is not available in orthodox modal logic.But more generally, the topic of HyLo 2009 is not only standardhybrid-logical machinery (like nominals, satisfaction operators,binders, etc) but also extensions of modal logic that increaseits expressive power in one way or other.

HyLo 2009 will be an special event, conmemorating the ten yearssince the organization of the first HyLo workshop in 1999.

HyLo 2009 will be relevant to a wide range of people, includingthose interested in description logic, feature logic, appliedmodal logics, temporal logic, and labelled deduction. The workshopcontinues a series of previous workshops on hybrid logic. Theworkshop aims to provide a forum for advanced PhD students andresearchers to present and discuss their work with colleagues andresearchers.

For more general background on hybrid logic, and many of the keypapers, see the Hybrid Logics homepage (http://hylo.loria.fr/).

SUBMISSION DETAILS:
We invite the contribution of papers reporting new work fromresearchers interested in hybrid logic. Details about the submissionprocedure will be announced in the second call for papers.
