The area is characterized by results, tools and techniques stemming from various fields, including universal algebra, topology, category theory, order, and model theory. The program of the conference TACL 2009 will focus on three interconnecting mathematical themes central to the semantical study of logics and their applications: algebraic, categorical, and topological methods. This is the fourth conference in the series Topology, Algebra and Categories in Logic (TACL, formerly TANCL). Earlier installments of this conference have been organized in Tbilisi (2003), Barcelona (2005), and Oxford (2007). Invited speakers -------------------------- Martin Hyland, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Achim Jung, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom Vincenzo Marra, University of Milano, Italy Paul-Andre Mellies, University of Paris 7, France Ieke Moerdijk, University of Utrecht, Netherlands Ales Pultr, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic Lutz Schroeder, University of Bremen, Germany Kazushige Terui, Kyoto University, Japan Constantine Tsinakis, Vanderbilt University, USA Featured topics --------------- Contributed talks can deal with any topic falling under the scope of the meeting. This includes, but is not limited to, the following areas: * Algebraic logic * Coalgebraic semantics * Categorical methods in logic * Domain theory * Fuzzy and many-valued logics * Lattices with operators * Modal logics * Non-classical logics * Ordered topological spaces * Ordered algebraic structures * Pointfree topology * Residuated structures * Stone-type dualities * Substructural logics * Topological semantics of modal logic Submissions ----------- Contributed presentations will be of two types: 20 minutes long presentations in parallel sessions and featured, 30 minutes long, plenary presentations. The submission of an abstract of 1-4 pages is required to be selected for a contributed presentation of either kind. While preference will be given to new work, results that have already been published or presented elsewhere will also be considered. More information on the submission procedure is available on the conference website. Grants ------------- TACL 2009 hopes to support junior and/or low budget participants whose contributed talk proposal has been approved from the PC. This support will take the form of fee waivers and of travel or accommodation grants. For more information, please visit the conference website. The deadline for grant application is April 22, 2009.
