Full funding available for participants! * Please apply here: https://forms.gle/cs8QpjeMzd7D4q8d9 Registration: http://easyconferences.eu/lics2021/registration -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Women in Logic 2021 is a satellite event of the 36th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS’21) to be held virtually from June 29 until July 2, 2021. The Women in Logic workshop (WiL) provides an opportunity to increase awareness of the valuable contributions made by women in the area of logic in computer science. Its main purpose is to promote the excellent research done by women, with the ultimate goal of increasing their visibility and representation in the community. We invite everybody to become part of the audience! Our aim is to: - provide a platform for female researchers to share their work and achievements; - increase the feelings of community and belonging, especially among junior faculty, post-docs and students through positive interactions with peers and more established faculty; - establish new connections and collaborations; - foster a welcoming culture of mutual support and growth within the logic research community. We believe these aspects will benefit women working in logic and computer science, particularly early-career researchers. Previous versions of Women in Logic (Reykjavík, Iceland 2017, Oxford, UK 2018, Vancouver, Canada 2019, and Paris, France 2020) were very successful in showcasing women's work and as catalysts for a recognition of the need for change in the community. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVITED TALKS * Simona Ronchi Della Rocca Title: "Intersection types for probabilistic computation” * Rineke Verbrugge Title: "Zero-one laws for provability logic and its transitive sisters" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTRIBUTED TALKS * Laura Fontanella Title: "Realising weak versions of Zorn's lemma” * Iris van der Giessen Title: "Rules in Intuitionistic Modal Logics” * Malena Ivnisky Title: "A finite-dimensional model for affine, linear quantum lambda calculi with general recursion” * Raheleh Jalali Title: "On the complexity of disjunction property” * Katarzyna W.

[SCPS 2021] Smart Cyber-Physical Systems Symposium
by SCPS 20 Jun '21

20 Jun '21

<https://www.sscc.fr/scpsS2021/> https://www.sscc.fr/scpsS2021/ Organizing Committee General Chair Pascal Lorenz, University of Haute-Alsace, France Abdelhafid Abouaissa, University of Haute-Alsace, France Technical Program Co-Chairs Joel Rodrigues, Federal University of Piauí, Brazil; Instituto de Telecomunicações, Portugal Abdelhakim Baouya, Verimag, University of Grenoble Alpes, France SCPS 2021 CFP The smart cyber-physical systems (SCPS) are complex due to the composition and the combination of their components and physical elements of different aspects. Especially, the components are intelligent and autonomous executing sub-tasks to achieve global objectives by supporting different AI techniques under a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) constraints. Examples of such systems can be found in manufactories, smart cities, avionics, automotive systems, nuclear power plants, etc. Effectively, the different SCPS requirements especially dependability, safety, reliability, maintenance, and security are challenging due to the inherent complexity of SCPSs compositions. Moreover, it is not sufficient to ascertain a precise requirement for a specific component in isolation from others. Further, faults, errors, and threats in SCPS could also be due to software programming imperfections, software failures that are directly triggered by hardware failure or, the dynamic/static interaction between the physical, digital and software parts especially in the presence of self-adaptive architecture, smart algorithms, and social actors. Therefore, SCPS must be studied as a whole, which sets this emerging discipline apart from these individually established fields. SCPS2021 forum provides a platform for professionals from academia, government, and industry to discuss how to address the increasing challenges facing SCPS. SCPS2021 invites submissions discussing theoretical and practical solutions tackling SCPS challenges. SCPS2021 topics include, but are not limited to: SCPS Design and Development SCPS formalisms and models Model-based architecture for SCPS Coordination and orchestration for SCPS Composition and adaptation for SCPS Dynamic software architectures, and self-adaptive for SCPS Self-monitoring, and self-organizing SCPS Data based management for SCPS Big data and database management for SCPS DWeb service interactions for SCPS SCPS Networking and Communication IoT architectures and infrastructures for SCPS Blockchains and distributed architectures for SCPS Edge and Fog computing for SCPS applications IoT services, and communication protocols for SCPS Sensors and actuators optimization for SCPS Energy consumption for SCPS SCPS Analysis and Processing Artificial intelligence for SCPS Deep learning, and machine learning for SCPS Formal methods techniques for SCPS Optimization and scheduling for SCPS Decision support for SCPS Resilience and recovering plans for SCPS SCPS Assurance SCPS's requirements specification Modeling, and analysis of attacks in SCPS Attacks detection in SCPS Error detection in SCPS Fault analysis for SCPS Correction management and maintenance for SCPS SCPS Applications Plugins and Tools for SCPS Use cases and case studies for SCPS SCPS in production supply chain environments SCPS in social and living environments Important Dates Submission Date: 31th July, 2021 Notification to Authors: 27th August, 2021 Camera Ready Submission: 04th September, 2021 Submission System <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scps2021> https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scps2021 Best Regards,

Certified Programs and Proofs (CPP) 2022: Call for Papers
by Andrei Popescu 14 Jun '21

14 Jun '21

Certified Programs and Proofs (CPP) is an international conference on practical and theoretical topics in all areas that consider formal verification and certification as an essential paradigm for their work. CPP spans areas of computer science, mathematics, logic, and education. CPP 2022 (https://popl22.sigplan.org/home/CPP-2022) will be held on 16-18 January 2022 and will be co-located with POPL 2022 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. CPP 2022 is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGLOG. CPP 2022 will welcome contributions from all members of the community. The CPP 2022 organizers will strive to enable both in-person and remote participation, in cooperation with the POPL 2022 organizers. IMPORTANT DATES * Abstract Submission Deadline: 16 September 2021 at 23:59 AoE (UTC-12h) * Paper Submission Deadline: 22 September 2021 at 23:59 AoE (UTC-12h) * Notification (tentative): 22 November 2021 * Camera Ready Deadline (tentative): 12 December 2021 * Conference: 16-18 January 2022 Deadlines expire at the end of the day, anywhere on earth. Abstract and submission deadlines are strict and there will be no extensions. DISTINGUISHED PAPER AWARDS Around 10% of the accepted papers at CPP 2022 will be designated as Distinguished Papers. This award highlights papers that the CPP program committee thinks should be read by a broad audience due to their relevance, originality, significance and clarity. TOPICS OF INTEREST We welcome submissions in research areas related to formal certification of programs and proofs. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics of interest to CPP: * certified or certifying programming, compilation, linking, OS kernels, runtime systems, security monitors, and hardware; * certified mathematical libraries and mathematical theorems; * proof assistants (e.g, ACL2, Agda, Coq, Dafny, F*, HOL4, HOL Light, Idris, Isabelle, Lean, Mizar, Nuprl, PVS, etc); * new languages and tools for certified programming; * program analysis, program verification, and program synthesis; * program logics, type systems, and semantics for certified code; * logics for certifying concurrent and distributed systems; * mechanized metatheory, formalized programming language semantics, and logical frameworks; * higher-order logics, dependent type theory, proof theory, logical systems, separation logics, and logics for security; * verification of correctness and security properties; * formally verified blockchains and smart contracts; * certificates for decision procedures, including linear algebra, polynomial systems, SAT, SMT, and unification in algebras of interest; * certificates for semi-decision procedures, including equality, first-order logic, and higher-order unification; * certificates for program termination; * formal models of computation; * mechanized (un)decidability and computational complexity proofs; * formally certified methods for induction and coinduction; * integration of interactive and automated provers; * logical foundations of proof assistants; * applications of AI and machine learning to formal certification; * user interfaces for proof assistants and theorem provers; * teaching mathematics and computer science with proof assistants. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Prior to the paper submission deadline, the authors should upload their anonymized paper in PDF format through the HotCRP system at https://cpp2022.hotcrp.com The submissions must be written in English and provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee to assess the merits of the contribution. They must be formatted following the ACM SIGPLAN Proceedings format using the acmart style with the sigplan option, which provides a two-column style, using 10 point font for the main text, and a header for double blind review submission, i.e., \documentclass[sigplan,10pt,anonymous,review]{acmart}\settopmatter{printfolios=true,printccs=false,printacmref=false} The submitted papers should not exceed 12 pages, including tables and figures, but excluding bibliography and clearly marked appendices. The papers should be self-contained without the appendices. Shorter papers are welcome and will be given equal consideration. Submissions not conforming to the requirements concerning format and maximum length may be rejected without further consideration. CPP 2022 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. To facilitate this, the submissions must adhere to two rules: (1) author names and institutions must be omitted, and (2) references to authors’ own related work should be in the third person (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on the work of ..."). The purpose of this process is to help the PC and external reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing it more difficult. In particular, important background references should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors are free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their papers as usual. For example, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas. POPL has answers to frequently asked questions addressing many common concerns: https://popl20.sigplan.org/track/POPL-2020-Research-Papers#Submission-and-R… We strongly encourage the authors to provide any supplementary material that supports the claims made in the paper, such as proof scripts or experimental data. This material must be uploaded at submission time, as an archive, not via a URL. Two forms of supplementary material may be submitted: (1) Anonymous supplementary material is made available to the reviewers before they submit their first-draft reviews. (2) Non-anonymous supplementary material is made available to the reviewers after they have submitted their first-draft reviews and have learned the identity of the authors. Please use anonymous supplementary material whenever possible, so that it can be taken into account from the beginning of the reviewing process. The submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy (https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/) and the ACM Policy on Plagiarism (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism). Concurrent submissions to other conferences, journals, workshops with proceedings, or similar forums of publication are not allowed. The PC chairs should be informed of closely related work submitted to a conference or journal in advance of submission. One author of each accepted paper is expected to present it at the (possibly virtual) conference. PUBLICATION, COPYRIGHT AND OPEN ACCESS The CPP 2022 proceedings will be published by the ACM, and authors of accepted papers will be required to choose one of the following publication options: (1) Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM a non-exclusive permission-to-publish license and, optionally, licenses the work under a Creative Commons license. (2) Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM an exclusive permission-to-publish license. (3) Author transfers copyright of the work to ACM. For authors who can afford it, we recommend option (1), which will make the paper Gold Open Access, and also encourage such authors to license their work under the CC-BY license. ACM will charge you an article processing fee for this option (currently, US$700), which you have to pay directly with the ACM. For everyone else, we recommend option (2), which is free and allows you to achieve Green Open Access, by uploading a preprint of your paper to a repository that guarantees permanent archival such as arXiv or HAL. This is anyway a good idea for timely dissemination even if you chose option 1. Ensuring timely dissemination is particularly important for this edition, since, because of the very tight schedule, the official proceedings might not be available in time for CPP. The official CPP 2022 proceedings will also be available via SIGPLAN OpenTOC (http://www.sigplan.org/OpenTOC/#cpp). For ACM’s take on this, see their Copyright Policy (http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright-policy) and Author Rights (http://authors.acm.org/main.html).
