Computer Science Logic: 22nd International Workshop, CSL 2008, 17th Annual Conference of the EACSL, Bertinoro, Italy, September 16-19, 2008, Proceedings: 5213 (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) - Softcover

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Workshop on Computer Science Logic, CSL 2008, held as the 17th Annual Conference of the EACSL in Bertinoro, Italy, in September 2008. The 31 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 submissions. All current aspects of logic in computer science are addressed, ranging from foundational and methodological issues to application issues of practical relevance. The book concludes with a presentation of this year's Ackermann award.

The annual conference of the European Association for Computer Science Logic (EACSL), CSL 2008, was held in Bertinoro, near Bologna (Italy), September 16–19, 2008. The conference series started as a program of International Wo- shops on Computer Science Logic, and then at its sixth meeting became the Annual Conference of the EACSL. This conference was the 22nd meeting and 17th EACSL conference; it was organized by the Department of Computer S- ence of Alma Mater Studiorum–Universita` di Bologna. CSL2008wasprecededonMonday,September15thbythesymposiumBri- ing Logic and Computer Science on the occasion of the 60th birthday of Johann A. Makowsky. In response to the call for papers, a total of 102 abstracts were submitted to CSL 2008 of which 87 were followed by a full paper. The Program Committee selected 31 papers for presentation at the conference and publication in these proceedings,during a one-weekelectronicdiscussion on the EasyChairplatform; each paper was refereed by three to ?ve reviewers. The Program Committee invited lectures from Luca Cardelli, Pierre-Louis Curien, Jean-PierreJouannaud,and Wolfgang Thomas. The papers providedby the invited speakers appear at the beginning of this volume.
