FSCD 2021: Call for Workshop Proposals

von Carsten Fuhs

-------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Workshop Proposals FSCD 2021 https://fscd2021.dc.uba.ar Buenos Aires, Argentina Main Conference: 19-22 July 2021 Workshops: 17-18 and 23-24 July 2021 -------------------------------------------------------------- FSCD 2021 will be the sixth edition of the International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic situation, the 2021 edition of FSCD and its satellite workshops will be held online. We invite proposals for workshops, tutorials or other satellite events, on any topic related to formal structures in computation, deduction and automated reasoning, from theoretical foundations to tools and applications. Satellite events will take place online on the 17-18 and 23-24 July, before and after the main conference (19-22 July). It is expected that satellite events would run for 1 or 2 days, and be open to participants of parallel events. PROPOSALS -------------------- Proposals must be limited to three pages and should be submitted via EasyChair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fscd2021 (Workshops track) Each proposal should consist of the following two parts. 1) A description part including: - a short scientific justification of the proposed topic, Its significance, and the particular benefits of the workshop to the community, as well as a list of previous or related workshops (if relevant); - a brief description (up to 120 words) of the event for the website and publicity material. 2) An organisational part including: - contact information for the workshop organisers; - name of the organiser in the role of FSCD Workshops Scheduling Committee member (*); - estimate of the number of workshop participants; - proposed format and agenda (e.g. paper presentations, tutorials, demo sessions, etc.) - potential invited speakers; - procedures for selecting papers and participants; - tentative schedule for paper submission and notification of acceptance; - plans for dissemination, if any (e.g. a journal special issue); - duration (which may vary from one day to two days); - preferred period (pre, or post main conference); - any other special requirements. (*) The FSCD Workshops Scheduling Committee will include one of the organisers of each accepted workshop and have the role to concoct a scientifically coherent program of all workshops mitigating superpositions of connected talks. This organisational effort will require that each workshop finalise their selection of talks and invited speakers within a common pertinent deadline to be defined so that possible overlaps can be minimised. Please, consider this when preparing the tentative schedule of your workshop proposal. The Organising Committee of FSCD will determine the final list of accepted workshops based on the recommendations from the Workshop Chairs and availability of space and facilities. The organisers of satellite events are expected to create and maintain a website for the event; handle paper selection, reviewing and acceptance; draw up a tentative programme of talks; advertise their event though specialist mailing lists; prepare the informal pre-proceedings (if applicable) in a timely fashion; and arrange any post-proceedings. Some amount of financial support may be offered to workshops, depending on the number of participants. The FSCD Organising Committee will handle promotion of the event on the main conference website; integration of the event's programme into the overall timetable; registration of participants; arrangement of an appropriate virtual meeting room and technical support will be provided by the FSCD organising committee. IMPORTANT DATES -------------------- Submission of workshop proposals: 6 December, 2020 Notification of success of proposals: 20 December, 2020 -------------------- Best regards, Carlos Lopez Pombo, Mauricio Ayala-Rincon FSCD 2021 Workshop Chairs

LICS 2021 Call for Papers

von Sam Staton

CALL FOR PAPERS Thirty-Sixth Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on LOGIC IN COMPUTER SCIENCE (LICS) June / July 2021 (Rome) Co-located with ITP 2021 and ICTCS 2021 http://easyconferences.eu/lics2021/cfp/ SCOPE The LICS Symposium is an annual international forum on theoretical and practical topics in computer science that relate to logic, broadly construed. We invite submissions on topics that fit under that rubric. Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest include: automata theory, automated deduction, categorical models and logics, concurrency and distributed computation, constraint programming, constructive mathematics, database theory, decision procedures, description logics, domain theory, finite model theory, formal aspects of program analysis, formal methods, foundations of computability, games and logic, higher-order logic, knowledge representation and reasoning, lambda and combinatory calculi, linear logic, logic programming, logical aspects of AI, logical aspects of bioinformatics, logical aspects of computational complexity, logical aspects of quantum computation, logical frameworks, logics of programs, modal and temporal logics, model checking, probabilistic systems, process calculi, programming language semantics, proof theory, real-time systems, reasoning about security and privacy, rewriting, type systems and type theory, and verification. COVID-19 The organizers are carefully monitoring the development of the COVID-19 pandemic, and take guidance from the health authorities, to determine whether LICS 2021 will be held physically, virtually or in a hybrid manner. IMPORTANT DATES Authors are required to submit a paper title and a short abstract of about 100 words in advance of submitting the extended abstract of the paper. The exact deadline time on these dates is given by anywhere on earth (AoE). Titles and Short Abstracts Due: 20 January 2021 Full Papers Due: 25 January 2021 Author Feedback/Rebuttal Period: 10-14 March 2021 Author Notification: 31 March 2021 Workshops: 27 June -- 28 June 2021 Conference: 29 June -- 2 July 2021 (tentative) Deadlines are firm; late submissions will not be considered. All submissions will be electronic via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lics2021. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Every paper must be submitted in the IEEE Proceedings 2-column 10pt format (IEEEtran.cls V1.8b) and may be at most 12 pages, excluding references. Paper selection will be merit-based, with no a priori limit on the number of accepted papers. Papers authored or co-authored by members of the program committee are not allowed. Please see the website for further formatting and submission instructions. LICS 2021 will use a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. Following this process means that reviewers will not see the authors’ names or affiliations as they initially review a paper. The authors’ names will then be revealed to the reviewers only once their reviews have been submitted. Please see the website for further details and requirements from the double-blind process. LICS DISTINGUISHED PAPERS (NEW) Starting 2021, around 10% of accepted LICS papers will be selected as distinguished papers. These are papers that, in the view of the LICS program committee, make exceptionally strong contribution to the field and should be read by a broad audience due their relevance, originality, significance and clarity. KLEENE AWARD FOR BEST STUDENT PAPER An award in honour of the late Stephen C. Kleene will be given for the best student paper(s), as judged by the program committee. SPECIAL ISSUES Full versions of up to three accepted papers, to be selected by the program committee, will be invited for submission to the Journal of the ACM. Additional selected papers will be invited to a special issue of Logical Methods in Computer Science. PUBLICATION The official publication date may differ from the first day of the conference. The official publication date may affect the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. We will clarify the official publication date in due course.

CfP: Natural Language Processing in Artificial Intelligence - NLPinAI 2021 Online 4-6 February, 2021

von Roussanka Loukanova

CALL FOR PAPERS Natural Language Processing in Artificial Intelligence - NLPinAI 2021 Online Streaming 4-6 February, 2021 http://www.icaart.org/NLPinAI.aspx?y=2021 Special Session within the 13th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence - ICAART 2021 http://www.icaart.org ------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE Computational and technological developments that incorporate natural language are proliferating. Adequate coverage encounters difficult problems related to partiality, underspecification, and context-dependency, which are signature features of information in nature and natural languages. Furthermore, agents (humans or computational systems) are information conveyors, interpreters, or participate as components of informational content. Generally, language processing depends on agents' knowledge, reasoning, perspectives, and interactions. The session covers theoretical work, applications, approaches, and techniques for computational models of information and its presentation by language (artificial, human, or natural in other ways). The goal is to promote computational systems of intelligent natural language processing and related models of thought, mental states, reasoning, and other cognitive processes. TOPICS We invite contributions relevant to the following topics, without being limited to them: - Type theories for applications to language and information processing - Computational grammar - Computational syntax - Computational semantics of natural languages - Computational syntax-semantics interface - Interfaces between morphology, lexicon, syntax, semantics, speech, text, pragmatics - Parsing - Multilingual processing - Large-scale grammars of natural languages - Interfaces between morphology, lexicon, syntax, semantics, speech, text, pragmatics - Models of computation and algorithms for natural language processing - Computational models of partiality, underspecification, and context-dependency - Models of situations, contexts, and agents, for applications to language processing - Information about space and time in language models and processing - Models of computation and algorithms for linguistics - Data science in language processing - Machine learning of language - Interdisciplinary methods - Integration of formal, computational, model theoretic, graphical, diagrammatic, statistical, and other related methods - Logic for information extraction or expression in written and spoken language - Language processing based on biological fundamentals of information and languages - Computational neuroscience of language IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: November 26, 2020 Authors Notification: December 14, 2020 Camera Ready and Registration: December 22, 2020 PAPER SUBMISSION Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics listed above. Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in LaTeX and Word styles) are available on the ICAART pages. Paper Templates: http://www.icaart.org/Templates.aspx Guidelines: http://www.icaart.org/Guidelines.aspx Papers must be submitted electronically via the web-based submission system using the button SUBMIT PAPER on the pages of NLPinAI 2021 at ICAART 2021. PUBLICATIONS After thorough reviewing by the special session program committee, all accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book - under an ISBN reference and on digital support - and submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI/ISI), DBLP, EI (Elsevier Engineering Village Index), Scopus, Semantic Scholar and Google Scholar. SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/) and every paper is given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library We expect a post-conference, post-proceedings Special Issue with extended publications based on selected papers presented at NLPinAI 2021, ICAART 2021. A book of selected works based on NLPinAI 2020 at ICAART 2020 is on its way to appear: Natural Language Processing in Artificial Intelligence - NLPinAI 2020.
