SPECIAL SESSION: SCREENING OF MOVIES ABOUT MATHEMATICIANS
It is planned to have a special session with the exhibition of a one-hour
documentary film about a remarkable mathematician whose contributions were
recognized with a Fields Medal just a few years before her untimely death.
It is a joint production (still on its course) of The Mathematical Sciences
Research Institute (MSRI) and George Csicsery (Zala Films): ‘Secrets of the
Surface - The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani’. “The biographical
film is about Maryam Mirzakhani, a brilliant woman, and Muslim immigrant to
the United States who became a superstar in her field. The story of her
life will be complemented with sections about Mirzakhani’s mathematical
contributions, as explained by colleagues and illustrated with animated
sequences. Throughout, we will look for clues about the sources of
Mirzakhani’s insights and creativity." (http://www.zalafilms.com/secrets/)

CiE 2021: Connecting with computability
5 - 9 July 2021
website: www.CiE2021.ugent.be [1]
**Due to the current pandemic CiE 2021 will be held as a virtual
conference.**
CiE 2021 is the seventeenth conference organized by the Association
Computability in Europe. The /Computability in Europe/ conference (CiE)
series has built up a strong tradition for developing a scientific
program which is interdisciplinary at its core bringing together all
aspects of computability and foundations of computer science, as well as
the interplay of these theoretical areas with practical issues in CS and
other disciplines such as biology, mathematics, history, philosophy, and
physics. For more information about the CiE conferences and the
Association CiE, please have a look at: https://www.acie.eu/ [2].
CiE 2021 will be the second CiE conference that is organized as a
virtual event and aims at a high-quality meeting that allows and invites
active participation from all participants. It will be hosted virtually
by Ghent University.
Previous meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006),
Siena (2007), Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta Delgada (2010),
Sofia (2011), Cambridge (2012), Milan (2013), Budapest (2014), Bucharest
(2015), Paris (2016), Turku (2017), Kiel (2018), Durham (2019) and
virtually in Salerno (2020)
INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS:
=========================
Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, in addition to the
formal presentations based on the LNCS proceedings volume, CiE 2021 will
host a track of informal presentations, that are prepared very shortly
before the conference and inform the participants about current research
and work in progress. The Programme Committee cordially invites all
researchers (European and non-European) to submit their abstract for
informal presentations. The abstract will be posted on the CiE 2021
website.

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.

2nd Call for Papers
FORMATS 2021 (Virtual)
19th International Conference on
Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems
August 23rd-27th
Université Paris-Est Créteil, France
co-located with CONCUR, FMICS and QEST as part of QONFEST 2021
Webpage : https://qonfest2021.lacl.fr/formats21.php <https://qonfest2021.lacl.fr/formats21.php>
COVID-19 update: The conference will be online-only, hosted by the Laboratoire d'Algorithmique, Complexité et Logique, Université Paris-Est Créteil.
================================================================
FORMATS is an annual conference aimed at promoting the study of fundamental and practical aspects of timed systems, and bringing together researchers from different disciplines that share interests in modelling, design, and analysis of timed computational systems. The conference aims to attract researchers interested in real-time issues in hardware design, performance analysis, real-time software, scheduling, semantics and verification of real-timed, hybrid and probabilistic systems. We particularly encourage submissions concerning applications of real-time systems and on relevant topics in interdisciplinary areas, such as robot motion planning.
Typical topics include (but are not limited to):
(1) Foundations and Semantics
Theoretical foundations of timed systems and languages; comparison between different models (timed automata, timed Petri nets, hybrid automata, timed process algebra, max-plus algebra, probabilistic models).
(2) Methods and Tools
Techniques, algorithms, data structures, and software tools for analyzing timed systems and resolving temporal constraints (scheduling, worst-case execution time analysis, optimization, model checking, testing, constraint solving, etc.).
(3) Applications
Adaptation and specialization of timing technology in application domains such as real-time software, hardware circuits, and problems of scheduling in manufacturing and telecommunication.
Special Sessions: Control Synthesis and Motion Planning for Cyber-physical and Control Systems
There will be a special session on control synthesis and motion planning for cyber-physical and control systems in FORMATS this year. Real-world systems often include physical components, which impose constraints on the time and space evolution of the system, e.g., robots, smart cities, and medical devices. In this session, we are interested in all approaches, including both model-based and data-driven, to analysis and control design for such systems with logical and temporal specifications. We welcome submissions on this topic and in relevant areas.
Paper Submission:
FORMATS 2021 solicits high-quality papers reporting research results and/or experience reports related to the topics mentioned above. Submitted papers must contain original, unpublished contributions, not submitted for publication elsewhere. The papers should be submitted electronically in PDF, following the Springer LNCS style guidelines. Regular papers should not exceed 15 pages in length (excluding references, that are therefore not limited), and short papers (for instance describing case studies, or implementations) are limited to 5 pages. Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. If necessary, the paper may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee. Papers will be submitted electronically via the EasyChair online submission system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=formats2021 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=formats2021>
The proceedings of FORMATS 2021 will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The best paper of the conference will be awarded the Oded Maler Award in Timed Systems.
Important Note Concerning the COVID-19 Pandemic:
As per common decision of the organizers and chairs of the QONFEST conferences, FORMATS will be organized as a virtual conference. We would do our best to maintain the usual quality of the program, and moreover to have a scheduling that accommodate attendance from different time zones.

FroCoS 2021
13th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems
TABLEAUX 2021
30th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux
and Related Methods
Birmingham, UK, September 6-10, 2021
Websites: https://frocos2021.github.io, https://www.tableaux2021.org
Contact: frocos2021(a)easychair.org <mailto:frocos2021@easychair.org> ,
tableaux21(a)easychair.org <mailto:tableaux21@easychair.org>
Proposal submission deadline: 19 April 2021
FroCoS and TABLEAUX are two of the main conferences on the theory and
application of logical systems. Their 2021 editions will be hosted by the
University of Birmingham, UK, from 6 to 10 September 2021. In keeping with
the tradition of the two events, we invite proposals for colocated workshops
and tutorials on all topics related to logical reasoning: from theoretical
aspects, to applications, to tools for interactive or automated reasoning.
Workshops and tutorials can target the logical systems community in general,
or alternatively focus on a particular system, recent theoretical
development or application.
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 14 June (12 weeks
before the conference) to leave ample time for potential travel plans to be
made.
If in-person participation is possible, colocated events should take place
on 6 and 8 September 2021. Workshop/tutorial-only attendees will enjoy a
significantly reduced registration fee. Detailed matters such as the paper
