Logic, Spatial Algorithms and Visual Reasoning / Logics in Fungal
by jean-yves beziau 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

The next LUW (Logica Universalis Webinar) session will be Nov 30 at 4pm CET Speaker: Andrew Adamatzky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Adamatzky Title: Logics in Fungal Mycelium Networks Abstract: The living mycelium networks are capable of efficient sensorial fusion over very large areas and distributed decision making. The information processing in the mycelium networks is implemented via propagation of electrical and chemical signals en pair with morphological changes in the mycelium structure. These information processing mechanisms are manifested in experimental laboratory findings that show that the mycelium networks exhibit rich dynamics of neuron-like spiking behaviour and a wide range of non-linear electrical properties. On an example of a single real colony of Aspergillus niger, we demonstrate that the non-linear transformation of electrical signals and trains of extracellular voltage spikes can be used to implement logical gates and circuits. The approaches adopted include numerical modelling of excitation propagation on the mycelium network, representation of the mycelium network as a resistive and capacitive network and an experimental laboratory study on mining logical circuits in mycelium bound composites. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11787-022-00318-4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Presentation of the special issue of LU including this paper edited by Andrew Schumann and Jens Lemanski "Logic, Spatial Algorithms and Visual Reasoning" https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11787-022-00311-x ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Everybody is welcome to join: https://www.springer.com/journal/11787/updates/20065848 Jean-Yves Beziau, Editor-in-Chief LU and Organizer of LUW http://www.jyb-logic.org/

[Vardi-list] The 5th Advanced School in Computer Science and
by Moshe Y Vardi 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

https://iias.huji.ac.il/event/5th-cse-school ORGANIZERS Nir Friedman, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Michal Rosen-Zvi, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Healthcare and medicine are undergoing a rapid and radical transformation. Technological breakthroughs increasingly allow for high-resolution medical history and measurements –- including detailed records of blood works, indications and drug purchases, detailed imaging, molecular profiles of DNA, RNA, and proteins, and dense temporal behavioral and physiological recordings — generating a deluge of data on each patient. Still, medical research and medical practice are struggling to handle this wealth of information, and how to exploit it for a better understanding of disease and to improve medical practice. Part of the solutions to better use these masses of data are based on the rapidly evolving disciplines of AI and data science. Automation is clearly the only viable way to scale data “mining” of such amounts of diverse data. The emerging interface between AI and medicine poses unique challenges and opportunities. This one-week Winter School will bring together top international researchers to present the current state of the field and discuss emerging future directions. The program will include tutorials, hands-on sessions, panel discussions, and multiple opportunities for networking between students and faculty. _______________________________________________ Vardi-list mailing list Vardi-list(a)mailman.rice.edu https://mailman.rice.edu/mailman/listinfo/vardi-list

Postdoc Position on Hardware Verification via Model Learning, Royal
by Sammartino, Matteo 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

- Application deadline: Midnight, 7 Dec 2022 - Salary: £37,467 - Duration: until November 2023 Applications are invited for the post of Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in the Computer Science Department at Royal Holloway, University of London. The post holder will have an exciting opportunity to work on the EPSRC-funded "Verification of Hardware Concurrency via Model Learning" (CLeVer) project (EP/S028641/1), led by Prof. Alexandra Silva (UCL/Cornell) and Matteo Sammartino (RHUL), in collaboration with 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. # Brief description of the project Digital devices are increasingly complex, therefore there is a pressing need to automate the assessment of their correctness. 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 project aims to develop a novel verification framework for hardware, which combines learning, testing and model-checking. Not all models are suitable for this purpose and hence specific classes of models will need to be developed, depending on the task at hand. Subsequently, learning and verification techniques for these classes need to be devised and tested in realistic case studies. We have an industrial partner, ARM, that will provide valuable guidance on the design and development of the aforementioned tasks. # The ideal candidate We are looking for candidates with a PhD in one of the following areas: model-based testing and verification, model learning, 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/0922-411-R Best wishes, Matteo Sammartino ============================== Matteo Sammartino, Lecturer Royal Holloway University of London Department of Computer Science Tel.: (+44) (0) 1784 44 3690 Office: 2-07, Bedford Building https://matteosammartino.com/ This email, its contents and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
