The 8th International Symposium of Cognition, Logic and Communication

The aim of the symposium is to promote discussion among various fields on such notions as games, cooperation and interaction in communication, game theory and game semantics – their use in economics, logic, computer science, linguistics, argumentation theory and philosophy. Jurgis Skilters, the associate professor at the UL Faculty of Social Sciences, the Department of Communications Studies, comments: ‘This symposium will be dedicated to game theory and its application. This theme is crucial in exact sciences and in business studies, it attracts economists, linguists and communication experts as well as to interdisciplinary philosophers. I am glad that Jaakko Hintikka, one of the founders of game theory semantics from Boston, as well as Samson Abramsky, a fellow of the Royal Society and a professor at the Oxford University, will be among the guests of the symposium. These are only two prominent researchers of the many that will participate in the event organized in cooperation with McMaster University in Canada.’ A limited number of papers will be selected for presentation at the symposium. In addition, by way of blind review, the papers will be considered for inclusion in the proceedings in the Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication, published by Kansas State University Press ‘New Prairie Press’, USA, in cooperation with the Center for Cognitive Sciences and Semantics at the UL Faculty of Social Sciences. Participants are welcome to submit their papers electronically to: jurgisskilters@gmail.com. The deadline for submission is 15 January 2012.
