A tribute to Horacio Arló-Costa in Buenos Aires

Eduardo Barrio, logician at the University of Buenos Aires, draws my attention to the event they are organizing over there to honor the much missed Horacio Arló-Costa (here is the website of the event, in Spanish, and here is the CFP in English at Choice & Inference). The event will take place in August 2 to 4 2012, and has as confirmed speakers (others are still listed as TBC):

Verónica Becher (Universidad de Buenos Aires)
John Collins (Columbia University)
Paul Egré (Jean Nicod Institute)
Jeff Helzner (Columbia University)
Rohit Parikh (City University of New York)
Fernando Tohmé (Universidad Nacional del Sur)

There is also a call for papers, focusing on (but not limited to) the themes and topics which were Horacio’s specialties:

We call for contributions in any area of philosophical logic, including (but not limited to) epistemic and modal logic, ampliative reasoning, belief revision, conditional logic, game theory and decision theory, among other topics. We invite submissions for 40-minute presentations. Submissions should take the form of a 1000/1500-word abstract. They should be sent by e-mail in an attached file in pdf format to info@sadaf.org.ar. Authors’ names and affiliation should be given only in the text of the e-mail message.

Let me add that Buenos Aires is truly one of the most charming cities in the world -- and I say this as a Brazilian, despite the classical rivalry between Argentina and Brazil... The combination of a terrific event with such an attractive location should be more than enough reasons for many readers to consider submitting a paper!
