sobre o fim do boletim PhiLOG e o nascimento de um novo e interessante site de divulgação de notícias de lógica:
LORI - Logic and Rational Interaction http://loriweb.org jm ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rasmus K. Rendsvig <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 4:26 AM Subject: On the PhiNEWS Newsletter Dear PhiLOG Members, As Managing Editor of PhiNEWS - and on behalf of the editors-in-chief including Vincent F. Hendricks, Pelle Guldborg Hansen, Stig Andur Pedersen and Dov M. Gabbay - I must regretfully announce the end of the newsletter. As the field of research that should be covered by the newsletter grows, the administration does not, it is not viable for us to publish another volume. A six-month / annual publication is simply not enough, and most of the news printed would be outdated before the first page is read. Instead, I am glad to announce that a source of information on the research area of philosophical logic and it's applications is still available, namely at LORI (http://loriweb.org). LORI - Logic and Rational Interaction - is a web-based database focusing mainly on rational agency as well as new interfaces with surrounding disciplines, such as philosophy, mathematics, linguistics, computer science, game theory, and cognitive science. The site was launched in the spring of 2008 on the initiative of Johan van Benthem, Vincent F. Hendricks, Fenrong Lui and Olivier Roy. The site is updated almost daily with information on conferences, workshops and special lectures, and of course calls for papers and upcoming deadlines. As opposed to PhiNEWS, LORI does not publish articles as the style of the site is an easier, journalistic read, but on the other hand, we do publish conference and workshop reports - shorts post-event reports written by attendees of the given event about the main topics and primary discussion that took place. Further, we are in the process of compiling a glossary of basic terms from the research area, to be augmented with a section of online resources. As it was the case with PhiNEWS, the information availabe on LORI is largely submitted by its readers, and we therefore encouraged such to submit relevant information, which will then be posted on the site. Further, do not hesitate to announce own publications and working papers, or simply small entries on exiting questions or areas of research you are involved in. These are the things that keep LORI a good read. As this is a web based initiative, it will not be printed and send out in hardcopy, but it does have other benefits. Primarily, there is no wait. Readers can subscribe to the site's RSS Feed for instant messaging about updates or choose to receive a daily, weekly or monthly newsletter which includes all posts of the period ordered periodically in one mail. As a member of PhiLOG, we have set you up with a monthly subscription. You should receive the first newsletter in the beginning of October, giving you full summary of the activities on the site from September. Youl will find an online version of the newsletter for August here: http://loriweb.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Logic-and-Rational-Interaction-Last-month-posts.html. If you are not interested in receiving such a newsletter or wish to change the frequency by which you receive it, simply go to the site, type the receiving email address in the textfield in the "Newsletter" widget and click the "Subscribe" button. This is equivalent to logging in, and a "Manage your subscription" link will occur below the text field. If you are only interested in certain research subfields or calls for papers, you can go to http://loriweb.org and browse by content. We would like to thank you for your interest in the PhiNEWS over the years. Founded by Vincent F. Hendricks and Stig Andur Pedersen in 2002, we managed to publish 10 volumes in all over 5 years. All the issues are still available at www.phinews.ruc.dk. As a last piece of information conveyed by PhiNEWS, let me remind you that ESSLLI 2010, The European Summer School of Language, Logic and Information will be held at The University of Copenhagen, Denmark, August 9-20, 2010. The PC chair is held by Prof. Valentin Goranko (The Technical University of Denmark, while the OC Chair is held by Vincent F. Hendricks (The University of Copenhagen). The deadline for Course and Workshop proposals is September 7th. For more information refer to www.esslli2010cph.info. Best regards, Rasmus K.
