Model Comparison Game and n-Bisimulation for Conditional Logic

Marianna Girlando (Invited Talk)
Cyclic proofs for Transitive Closure Logic via Hypersequents
Propositional Dynamic Logic (PDL) is a modal logic for reasoning about the iterative execution of programs. Via the standard translation, PDL can be embedded into Transitive Closure Logic (TCL), an extension of first-order logic with a recursive operator expressing the transitive closure of binary relations. Cyclic proof systems based on Gentzen-style sequents have been developed for both PDL and TCL in the literature, but cyclic proofs for PDL do not directly translate into cyclic proofs for TCL. Therefore, the standard translation does not lift to the level of Gentzen-style cyclic proofs. Motivated by this observation, we introduce a hypersequent-style cyclic proof system for TCL, which enriches Gentzen-style sequents with additional structural connectives. We prove that this system is sound and that it simulates cyclic proofs for PDL, thereby establishing cut-free completeness for a fragment of TCL. This talk is based on joint work with Anupam Das: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10817-023-09675-1

Quantitative Types
Quantitative techniques are emerging in different areas of computer science in response to the growing need to reason about resource-aware computation. This talk introduces quantitative types, a mathematical framework that provides a unified understanding of resource usage in higher-order programming languages. We first present the key ideas underlying quantitative types, from both computational and semantic perspectives. We then show how these systems can be applied to quantitatively characterize normalization, solve inhabitation problems, and study observational equivalence.
Current selection
The accepted papers are currently presented as a single list rather than by topic area. This keeps the programme page aligned with the latest editorial structure.

Call for Papers
WoLLIC 2026 invites work in logic, language, information, and computation. The section below now carries the full submission and publication guidance, so authors can see scope, format, and proceedings expectations in one place.
Contributions are invited on all pertinent subjects, with particular interest in cross-disciplinary topics. Typical but not exclusive areas of interest are:
Proposed contributions should be written in English and should offer a scholarly exposition accessible to non-specialists, including motivation, background, and comparison with related work.
Submissions must use Springer's LNCS LaTeX format and may not exceed 12 pages, with up to 5 additional pages for references and technical appendices.
The paper's main results must not be published or under review in other refereed venues, including journals and scientific meetings.
Each accepted paper is expected to be presented in person by one of its authors at the workshop.
At least one author must pay a full on-site registration fee before the paper is confirmed for publication in the proceedings.
Publication path
The proceedings of WoLLIC 2026, including invited and contributed papers, are planned to appear as a volume in Springer's LNCS series.
Because the timeline is earlier this year, the proceedings will be published after the workshop.
Abstracts will also appear in the Conference Report section of the Logic Journal of the IGPL.
Selected contributions are expected to be considered for a special post-conference WoLLIC 2026 journal issue after a new round of reviewing and final journal confirmation.
