GENERAL INFORMATION

The International Conference ‘MODEL-BASED REASONING, ABDUCTIVE COGNITION, CREATIVITY. Inferences & Models in Science, Logic, Language, and Technology’ will be held at Sapienza University of Rome https://web.uniroma1.it/dip_filosofia/en/node/6157, from Wednesday 7th to Friday 9th of June 2023. The conference is organized by the Department of Humanities, Philosophy Section and Computational Philosophy Lab of the University of Pavia and the Department of Philosophy of Sapienza University of Rome. THe conference site will be at Villa Mirafiori https://turismoroma.it/en/places/villa-mirafiori, where the Departent of Philosophy is located.

PROGRAM

The conference will explore the logical, epistemological, and cognitive aspects of the modeling practices employed in science, technology, and cognitive science, including logical and computational models of such practices. We solicit papers that examine the model-based reasoning from philosophical, logical, epistemological, historical, sociological, psychological, or computational perspectives. The conference will also cover the impact of model-based reasoning to enhance human cognitive skills— mental, hybrid, manipulative, etc.

SUBMISSIONS OF EXTENDED ABSTRACT AND SYMPOSIA PROPOSALS

Presentation Proposal To take part in the conference, authors must submit an extended abstract of approximately 1000-1500 words by JANUARY 10th, 2023. It must be in .doc, .rtf, or LaTeX. If you use LaTex, Bibtex is preferred. Here is the LATEX template, and the Word template. The extended abstract must also contain a 300-word abstract for the conference web site/booklet. Please send it to the co-chair Lorenzo Magnani lmagnani@unipv.it.

Symposia Proposal (intended for approx. 4-5 participants) Please send a 2-page symposium proposal by JANUARY 10th, 2023 to the co-chair Emiliano Ippoliti emi.ippoliti@gmail.com.

All submitted extended abstracts will be reviewed. The precise format of the conference will be decided once the revision process is completed. We expect approximately 60/80 contributed presentations. Reviewed proposals will be scored as follows:

Accepted for half-hour presentation; Accepted for poster session; Rejected

After the conference, all the authors of accepted proposals are entitled to submit a complete paper for the proceedings to be sent to Lorenzo Magnani, lmagnani@unipv.it
