Logic, Language, and Security: Essays Dedicated to Andre Scedrov on the Occasion of His 65th Birthday

This Festschrift was published in honor of Andre Scedrov on the occasion of his 65th birthday.

The 11 technical papers and 3 short papers included in this volume show the many transformative discoveries made by Andre Scedrov in the areas of linear logic and structural proof theory; formal reasoning for networked systems; and foundations of information security emphasizing cryptographic protocols. These papers are authored by researchers around the world, including North America, Russia, Europe, and Japan, that have been directly or indirectly impacted by Andre Scedrov.

The chapter “A Small Remark on Hilbert's Finitist View of Divisibility and Kanovich-Okada-Scedrov's Logical Analysis of Real-Time Systems” is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com.

This Festschrift is in honor of Prof. Andre Scedrov at the University of Pennsylvania. Scedrov has laid the foundations for a number of now well-established domains in mathematics and computer science including Proof Theory, Logic in Computer Science, Foundations in Computer Security, and Linguistics.

This combination of breadth and penetrating originality is rare and impressive. This Festschrift only tries to reflect this combination with a number of contributions distributed among these different topics.

It contains 11 technical articles and 3 short papers organized among sections on Logic, Logic and Computing, Logic and Security, and Logic and Language. Those articles are authored by researchers around the world, including North America, Russia, Europe, and Japan, that have been directly or indirectly impacted by Andre Scedrov.
