The General Assembly of CIM met on May 26, 2007, during the morning, in the CIM premises at the As- tronomical Observatory of the University of Coimbra. In the afternoon of the same day, the members of the General Assembly had the opportunity to attend a talk by Gabriela Gomes (Gulbenkian Institute of Science), titled “The SIRI Model in Epidemiology: Pertussis and Malaria”

 


This work concerns a non-traditional approach to logic and epistemology, based on a challenging, albeit conjectural, articulation of views proceeding from Evolutionary Psychology and Biology, Non-Monotonic and Decision Logics, and Artificial Intelli- gence. The hinges to the latter inevitably suggest the emergence of an innovative symbiotic form of evolutionary epistemology.
