Structure Meets Power (a LICS workshop) - Call for Contributions
by Anuj Dawar 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

**************************************** * STRUCTURE MEETS POWER * * (a LICS workshop) * * * * Call for Contributions * **************************************** Workshop dates: 27-28 June 2021 (online) https://www.cst.cam.ac.uk/conference/structure-meets-power-2021 Scope ----- There is a remarkable divide in the field of logic in Computer Science, between two distinct strands: one focusing on semantics and compositionality (“Structure”), the other on expressiveness and complexity (“Power”). These two fundamental aspects of our field are studied using almost disjoint technical languages and methods, by almost disjoint research communities. We believe that bridging this divide is a major issue in Computer Science, and may hold the key to fundamental advances in the field. The aim this workshop is to attract investigators at the boundary of the two strands, and those on either side of the divide interested on establishing new connections. This workshop is a part of LICS 2021 workshops series. The even will be held entirely online. Important dates --------------- Abstract submission: 20 May 2021 Author notification: 5 June 2021 Registration: 20 June 2021 Invited speakers ---------------- * Mikolaj Bojanczyk (University of Warsaw) * Laura Mancinska (University of Copenhagen) * Daniela Petrisan (Universite Paris Diderot) Submissions ----------- Those wishing to speak at the workshop are invited to submit an Extended Abstract of up to three pages (including references) describing the content of the contributed presentation. Submissions should only have a single author -- the speaker. The co-authors are required to be clearly indicated in the abstract and later also in the slides. For submissions please use the EasyChair conference system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=smp2021 We encourage talks of all levels of progress, including novel contributions, already published results, work in progress, as well as survey-type contributions. However, original contributions might be considered for a subsequent special issue, consisting of journal versions of selected extended abstracts. Depending on the number of submissions, contributed talks will be 20-30 minutes long. Registration ------------ Registration is free of charge and is mandatory in order to access the workshop. Closer to the date you will receive a password and link to access the online meeting rooms. Those who register early will receive notifications about upcoming deadlines. The registration form can be found here: https://www.cst.cam.ac.uk/conference/structure-meets-power-2021/registration Organising and Programme Committee: ----------------------------------- * Samson Abramsky * Anuj Dawar * Tomas Jakl * Dan Marsden

TABLEAUX 2021 The 30th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods Birmingham, UK, September 6-9, 2021 Website: <https://tableaux2021.org/> https://tableaux2021.org/ ***EXTENDED DEADLINES***: 26 April (abstract), 30 April 2021 (paper) GENERAL INFORMATION The 30th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2021) will be hosted by the University of Birmingham, UK, 6-9 September 2021. TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research on all aspects -- theoretical foundations, implementation techniques, systems development and applications -- of tableaux-based reasoning and related methods is presented. The first TABLEAUX conference was held in Lautenbach near Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1992. Since then it has been organised on an annual basis (sometimes as a part of IJCAR). TABLEAUX 2021 will be co-located with the 13th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2021). The conferences will provide a rich programme of workshops, tutorials, invited talks, paper presentations and system descriptions. SCOPE OF CONFERENCE Tableaux and other proof based methods offer convenient and flexible tools for automated reasoning for both classical and non-classical logics. Areas of application include verification of software and computer systems, deductive databases, knowledge representation and its required inference engines, teaching, and system diagnosis. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * tableau methods for classical and non-classical logics (including first-order, higher-order, modal, temporal, description, hybrid, intuitionistic, linear, substructural, fuzzy, relevance and non-monotonic logics) and their proof-theoretic foundations; * sequent, natural deduction, labelled, nested and deep calculi for classical and non-classical logics, as tools for proof search and proof representation; * related methods (SMT, model elimination, model checking, connection methods, resolution, BDDs, translation approaches); * flexible, easily extendable, light-weight methods for theorem proving; novel types of calculi for theorem proving and verification in classical and non-classical logics; * systems, tools, implementations, empirical evaluations and applications (provers, proof assistants, logical frameworks, model checkers, etc.); * implementation techniques (data structures, efficient algorithms, performance measurement, extensibility, etc.); * extensions of tableau procedures with conflict-driven learning; * techniques for proof generation and compact (or humanly readable) proof representation; * theoretical and practical aspects of decision procedures; * applications of automated deduction to mathematics, software development, verification, deductive and temporal databases, knowledge representation, ontologies, fault diagnosis or teaching. We also welcome papers describing applications of tableau procedures to real-world examples. Such papers should be tailored to the TABLEAUX community and should focus on the role of reasoning and on logical aspects of the solution. INVITED SPEAKERS TABLEAUX 2021 is pleased to confirm the following the invited speakers: Orna Kupferman (Hebrew University, Israel) Revantha Ramanayake (University of Groningen, The Netherlands) Greg Restall (University of Melbourne, Australia / University of St Andrews, UK) Renate Schmidt (joint with FroCoS) (University of Manchester, UK) SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions are invited in the following two categories: (A) research papers reporting original theoretical research or applications, with length up to 15 pages excluding references; (B) system descriptions, with length up to 9 pages excluding references. There will also be a later call inviting position papers and brief reports on work-in-progress. Details will be kept up to date on the website. Submissions will be reviewed by the PC, possibly with the help of external reviewers, taking into account readability, relevance and originality. Any additional material (going beyond the page limit) can be included in a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the committee and must be removed for the camera-ready version. For category (A) submissions, the reported results must be original and not submitted for publication elsewhere. For category (B) submissions, a working implementation must be accessible via the internet. Authors are encouraged to publish the implementation under an open source license. The aim of a system description is to make the system available in such a way that people can use it, understand it, and build on it. Accepted papers in categories (A) and (B) will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the llncs style and must be submitted electronically as PDF files via the EasyChair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tableaux21 For all accepted papers at least one author is required to register to the conference and present the paper. A title and a short abstract of about 100 words must be submitted before the paper submission deadline. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files can be obtained at: http://www.springer.com/br/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui… IMPORTANT DATES **Extended abstract submission:** 26 April 2021 (AoE) **Extended paper submission:** 30 April 2021 (AoE) Notification: 14 June 2021 Conference: 6-9 September 2021 CONFERENCE FORMAT AND COVID-19 TABLEAUX 2021 and FroCoS 2021 are intended to be *hybrid* conferences welcoming both physical and virtual participation. The organisers are closely monitoring the pandemic situation and may choose to make the conference virtual-only if it seems unreasonable to host any sort of physical event. A final decision will be taken before the notification date 14 June (12 weeks before the conference) to leave ample time for potential travel plans to be made. PUBLICATION The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS). BEST PAPER AWARDS The program committee will select * the TABLEAUX 2021 Best Paper; and, * the TABLEAUX 2021 Best Paper by a Junior Researcher. Researchers will be considered "junior" if either they are students or their PhD degree date is less than two years from the first day of the meeting. The two awards will be presented at the conference. TRAVEL GRANTS FOR STUDENTS Some funding may be available to support students participating at TABLEAUX 2021. More details will be given on the conference website in due time.

Intelligent and Autonomous Systems (IAS), that support IoT and CPS, facilitate difficult daily tasks in large eras of applications, especially in industry where a large amount of collected data should be efficiently analyzed in order to be optimally exploited. IAS offer a great importance and promising outcomes with a direct impact on a society safety, productivity, and development. The difficulty arises on both sides of either developing new IAS or enhancing the deployed ones with the needed features and capabilities. IAS run on different environments and should follow different standards that make it difficult to ensure IAS requirements. Many solutions were developed in academia and applied by industrial to build a smart and autonomous system. Some of them rely on formal methods and system engineering whereas others look forward on big data and data analysis using mainly artificial intelligence techniques, in addition to other research areas such as networking, security, resiliency, etc. SIAS2021 provides a platform for professionals from academia, government, and industry to discuss how to address the increasing challenges facing IAS.

12 Apr '21

Symposium on Intelligent and Autonomous Systems (SIAS 2021) Tallinn, Estonia. June 21-23, 2021. <https://www.sscc.fr/SIAS2021/> https://www.sscc.fr/SIAS2021/ in conjunction with " <https://cs.ttu.ee/events/medi2021/> 10th International Conference on Model and Data Engineering (MEDI 2021)" SIAS 2021 CFP The needs of our daily life push forward modern systems to be well connected more user independent, autonomous, and smart. Intelligent and Autonomous Systems (IAS), that support IoT and CPS, facilitate difficult daily tasks in large eras of applications, especially in industry where a large amount of collected data should be efficiently analyzed in order to be optimally exploited. IAS offer a great importance and promising outcomes with a direct impact on a society safety, productivity, and development. The difficulty arises on both sides of either developing new IAS or enhancing the deployed ones with the needed features and capabilities. IAS run on different environments and should follow different standards that make it difficult to ensure IAS requirements. Many solutions were developed in academia and applied by industrial to build a smart and autonomous system. Some of them rely on formal methods and system engineering whereas others look forward on big data and data analysis using mainly artificial intelligence techniques, in addition to other research areas such as networking, security, resiliency, etc. SIAS2021 provides a platform for professionals from academia, government, and industry to discuss how to address the increasing challenges facing IAS. IAS design and architecture · IAS modeling (formal models, SysML, UML, etc) · Correct-by-construction in IAS · MBSE, MDA and DDA for IAS · Virtualization and digital twins for IAS · Blockchains and decentralized architecture for IAS · IAS smart Networking · Communication protocols for IAS · Edges, Fog, and Cloud in IAS · Distributed database for IAS · Web services for IAS · Social aspects and human interaction in IAS IAS Analysis · Artificial intelligence, deep learning, and machine learning in IAS · Model checking and theorem proving for IAS · Abstraction and compositional verification for IAS · Optimization and SAT solvers for IAS · Dynamic and static analysis for IAS · Statistical analysis for IAS · Testing for IAS · Smart decision making in IAS · Fog and edge computing for IAS IAS Assurance · Security specification, requirements, and management in IAS · Security in distributed IAS · Modeling, analysis and detection of attacks in IAS · Data mining for cybersecurity in IAS · Security protocols for IAS · Safety policies for IAS · Safety reinforcement models in IAS · Safety standard analysis for IAS · Resilience metrics and models for IAS · Resilience strategies and plans for IAS · Recovery systems for IAS resiliency · Recommendation guided decisions for IAS resiliency IAS Applications, Implementations, and Use cases · Applications and Software Platforms for IAS · IoT and CPS for IAS · Smart cities · IAS for industrial and production CPS · Autonomous robots and vehicles · Human-Robot Interaction · Smart logistics (transportation, supply chain, etc) Important Dates · Submission Date: 25 April,2021 · Notification to Authors: 25 May, 2021 · Camera Ready Submission: 4 June, 2021 Submission System · <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sias2021> https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sias2021
