The Review of Symbolic Logic has just published on line a special issue devoted to recent developments in formal epistemology. The issue contains the following papers:
Horacio Arló-Costa: FORMAL EPISTEMOLOGY, CONTEXT AND CONTENT: INTRODUCTION TO SPECIAL ISSUE ON RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN FORMAL EPISTEMOLOGY
Niel Tennant: BELIEF-REVISION, THE RAMSEY TEST, MONOTONICITY, AND THE SO-CALLED IMPOSSIBILITY RESULTS
Jeff Helzner:EXPECTED CONTENT
Haim Gaifman: CONTEXTUAL LOGIC WITH MODALITIES FOR TIME AND SPACE
Rohit Parikh: SENTENCES, BELIEF AND LOGICAL OMNISCIENCE, OR WHAT DOES DEDUCTION TELL US?
Sergei Artemov: THE LOGIC OF JUSTIFICATION
Giacomo Sillari: QUANTIFIED LOGIC OF AWARENESS AND IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE WORLDS
Joseph Halpern: INTRANSITIVITY AND VAGUENESS
The articles deal with a variety of topics from the logic of context and content, to the problem of logical omniscience, to belief revision, to the logic of justification, to formal models of vagueness. I assume that the printed version will be available soon.

WORKSHOP ON UNCERTAINTY PROCESSING, WUPES 09
From Radim Jirousek (via the SIPTA-MEMBERS mailing list):
"WORKSHOP ON UNCERTAINTY PROCESSING
WUPES 09will be held in castle Liblice, September 19-23. All the necessary information can be found at http://wupes.fm.vse.cz/ (some its pieces, as e.g. the amount of a conference fee, are only preliminary, however, because we are still trying to obtain a financial support to be able to keep the fee as low as possible). We want to ask you, who are considering to participate at this event, to preliminarily register as soon as possible (definitely not later then April 30) because we have to sign a contract with the castle specifying the number of participants. Looking forward to meeting you in Liblice, radim jirousek (on behalf of Organizing Committee)."
