*** We apologize for possible cross posting *** *********** CALL FOR PAPER *********** OVERLAY 2021 September 22, 2021 Padova, Italy (unless held online, depending on the pandemic emergency situation) https://overlay.uniud.it/workshop/2021/ The increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence techniques in safety-critical systems, employed in real world scenarios, requires the design of reliable, robust, and verifiable methodologies. Artificial Intelligence systems employed in such applications need to provide formal guarantees about their safety, increasing the need for a close interaction between the Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods scientific communities. To witness this increasing need, tools and methodologies integrating Formal Methods and Artificial Intelligence solutions are getting more and more attention. The workshop is the main official initiative supported by the OVERLAY group (https://overlay.uniud.it/). The event aims at establishing a stable, long-term scientific forum on relevant topics connected to the relationships between Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods, by providing a stimulating environment where researchers can discuss about opportunities and challenges at the border of the two areas. Important goals of the workshop are (i) to encourage the ongoing interaction between the formal methods and artificial intelligence communities, (ii) to identify innovative tools and methodologies, and (iii) to elicit a discussion on open issues and new challenges. This year edition will be held on September 22, 2021, and will be co-located with GandALF 2021 (https://gandalf2021.math.unipd.it/), which is scheduled to be held in Padova, Italy (unless it will be an online event, depending on the pandemic emergency situation). *** Invited speaker *** Roderick Bloem, professor at Institute of Applied Information Processing and Communications - Graz, Austria https://www.iaik.tugraz.at/person/roderick-bloem/ *** Call for contributions *** We accept extended abstracts (4 pages + references) focusing on the interaction between Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods.

VEST 2021 Last Call for Talks (deadline in 3 weeks)
by Ornela Dardha 04 May '21

04 May '21

********************************************************************* VEST 2021: 2nd Workshop on Verification of Session Types Online on July 12, 2021, co-located with ICALP 2021 https://sites.google.com/view/vest21/home <https://sites.google.com/view/vest21/home> Submission: Monday, 24th May 2021 Submission Link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vest21 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vest21> Call for Talks ********************************************************************* * Presentation The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and build and strengthen a community working on verification of session types using various theorem provers such as Agda, Coq, Isabelle or any other. Session types are abstract representations of the sequences of operations that computational entities (such as channels or objects) must perform. Stateful entities offer services in a non-uniform way (one cannot pop from an empty stack); traditional type systems cannot guarantee that operations are only invoked when the entity is in the right state. Large-scale software systems rely on message-passing protocols: their correctness largely depends on sound protocol implementations. Session types can help in the specification of correct-by-construction systems, and in verifying that programs respect their intended protocols. Recent years have seen a steady stream of research on behavioural types: their foundations and their transfer to several programming languages. This has led to highly-cited papers in conferences such as POPL and journals such as TOPLAS. Research projects on behavioural types have advanced the theory and applications of behavioural types. Although the foundations of session types are now well established, and new works build on approaches that have become standard, there is still a lack of reusable libraries, namely machine-verified ones. As on one hand the basis of most works is common, and on the other hand the complexity of the formal systems is considerable and may lead to errors in the proofs of the soundness results, machine verifying the type systems proposed is vital. Libraries, or at least clear formalisations of common approaches, is crucial to avoid not only to repeat work but also to increase the confidence in the knowledge base. Moreover, as many of these systems have a goal to do static analysis to ensure some safety or liveness property, machine verification of these approaches leads to certified software for program analysis. The goal of the VEST workshop is to gather the researchers working on mechanisations of behavioural types using various theorem provers, such as Agda, Coq, Isabelle or any other. The workshop will be a platform to present both the now well-established efforts and the ongoing works the community has put on verification. The workshop will also be a forum to discuss strengths and weaknesses of existing approaches, potential obstacles and to foster collaboration. * Types of Contributions We request two types of research contributions. Type 1: Short presentations (1 page) of work published elsewhere; Type 2: Presentations (2-5 pages) of ongoing original work. Submissions of Type 1 will consist of 1 page papers presenting the work, the publication venue and the significance of the results; the PC will select the submissions with a ranking system. Submissions of Type 2 will consist of 2 - 5 page papers submitted to a light reviewing process. There will be no proceedings of VEST'21, but rather the aim is to strengthen and further expand our community. * Important Dates AoE (UTC-12h) Submission: Monday, 24 May 2021 Notification: Monday, 21st June 2021 Final Version: Monday, 5th July 2021 Workshop: Monday, 12th July 2021 * Submission Link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vest21 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vest21> * Invited Speakers: - Jesper Bengtson (IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark) - Andreia Mordido (University of Lisbon, Portugal) *Tutorial, jointly delivered by: - David Castro-Perez (University of Kent, UK) - Francisco Ferreira-Ruiz (Imperial College, UK) - Lorenzo Gheri (Imperial College, UK) * Program Committee: - Robert Atkey, University of Strathclyde, UK - Laura Bocchi, University of Kent, UK - Ornela Dardha, University of Glasgow, UK (Co-chair) - Cinzia Di Giusto, Université Côte d'Azur, CNRS, I3S, France - Wen Kokke, The University of Edinburgh, UK - Robbert Krebbers, Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands - Luca Padovani , Università di Torino, Italy - Kirstin Peters, TU Darmstadt, Germany - António Ravara, NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal (Co-chair) - Ivan Scagnetto, University of Udine, Italy - Peter Thiemann, Universität Freiburg, Germany
