Apologies for multiple copies due to using different mailing lists THE 9th ASIAN LOGIC CONFERENCE August 16--19, 2005 Novosibirsk, Russia CALL FOR PAPERS 1. General information This conference is the ninth in the series of logic conferences, which is held once every three years and rotates among countries in the Asia-Pacific region with interests in the broad area of logic including theoretical computer science. In the past, there were eight meetings in Singapore (1981), Bangkok, Thailand (1984), Bejing, China (1987), Tokyo, Japan (1990), Singapore (1993), Bejing, China (1996), Hsi-Tou, Taiwan (1999), and Chongqing, China (2002). In 2005, the conference takes place in Novosibirsk at the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics SB RAS, August 16--19. The purpose of the conference is to facilitate interactions between researches interested in the mathematical logic, logic in computer science, and philosophical logics. It aims at promoting activities of mathematical logic in the Asia-Pacific so that logicians both from within Asia and elsewhere would get together and exchange information and ideas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, recursion theory, set theory, proof theory, model theory and universal algebra, non-classical logic, and logic in computer science. 2.
