We are hence calling for presentations of original, unfinished, already published, or otherwise interesting work within the topics of the RAMiCS conferences. The submission can be in the form of a poster, an abstract, a paper submitted to or published at another conference, etc. Short contributions will *not* be published in the conference proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES: Submission: 29 August 2021 Notification: 5 September 2021 RAMiCS registration: 12 September 2021 INVITED SPEAKERS: Marcelo Frias, Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires, Argentina Barbara König, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany Dmitriy Zhuk, Moscow State University, Russia GENERAL INFORMATION: Since 1994, the RAMICS conference series has been the main venue for research on relation algebras, Kleene algebras and similar algebraic formalisms, and their applications as conceptual and methodological tools in computer science and beyond. TOPICS: We invite short submissions in the general fields of algebras relevant to computer science and applications of such algebras. Topics include but are not limited to: * Theory - algebras such as semigroups, residuated lattices, semirings, Kleene algebras, relation algebras and quantales - their connections with program logics and other logics - their use in the theories of automata, concurrency, formal languages, games, networks and programming languages - the development of algebraic, algorithmic, category-theoretic, coalgebraic and proof-theoretic methods for these theories - their formalisation with theorem provers * Applications - tools and techniques for program correctness, specification and verification - quantitative and qualitative models and semantics of computing systems and processes - algorithm design, automated reasoning, network protocol analysis, social choice, optimisation and control - industrial applications SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Please send your short submission as a single pdf file to ramics2021(a)easychair.org by 29 August 2021. ORGANIZERS: Luigi Santocanale, Aix-Marseille University, France Uli Fahrenberg, École polytechnique, France Mai Gehrke, Université Côte d’Azur, France Michael Winter, Brock University, Canada

Postdoctoral position on verification of concurrent systems via model learning, Royal Holloway University of London, Deadline: 31 Aug 2021
by Matteo Sammartino 26 Jul '21

26 Jul '21

- Application deadline: Midnight, 31 Aug 2021 - Interview Date: To be confirmed - Starting date: 1 Oct 2021, or as soon as possible thereafter - Salary: £35,931-£37,979 - Duration: until February 2023 Applications are invited for the post of Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in the Computer Science Department at Royal Holloway, University of London. Successful applicants will be working on the EPSRC-funded "Verification of Hardware Concurrency via Model Learning" (CLeVer) project (EP/S028641/1), led by Alexandra Silva (UCL) and Matteo Sammartino (Royal Holloway, University of London). This is a joint research endeavour involving Royal Holloway University of London, University College London, and ARM, world-leading designer of multi-core chips. For an informal discussion about the post, please contact Dr. Matteo Sammartino on Matteo.Sammartino(a)rhul.ac.uk. # Project Description Digital devices increasingly rely on multi-threaded computation, with sophisticated concurrent behaviour becoming prevalent at any scale. As the complexity of these systems increases, there is a pressing need to automate the assessment of their correctness, especially with respect to concurrency-related aspects. Formal verification provides highly effective techniques to assess the correctness of systems. However, formal models are usually built by humans, and as such can be error-prone and inaccurate. The CLeVer project aims to: - develop a novel verification framework that relies on learning techniques to automatically build and verify models of concurrency, with a particular focus on multi-core systems. - apply the framework to real-world verification tasks, in collaboration with ARM. # The ideal candidate We are looking for candidates with a PhD in one of the following areas: model-based testing and verification, formal methods for concurrency, automated analysis of hardware systems. Experience in multiple areas will be valued. Candidates ideally should also have strong programming skills. # Where to apply https://jobs.royalholloway.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?ref=0721-259
