Postdoc Position on Hardware Verification via Model Learning, Royal
by Sammartino, Matteo 21 Dec '22

21 Dec '22

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, 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 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 Additional details and a link to the application can be found here: https://jobs.royalholloway.ac.uk/0922-411-R-R <https://jobs.royalholloway.ac.uk/0922-411-R> The deadline is 20 Jan 2023 (midnight).

ICALP 2023 -- Second Call for Papers (Submission Deadline: February
by Kousha Etessami 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

======================================================== ICALP 2023 - Second Call for papers ======================================================== The 50th EATCS International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP) will take place in: Paderborn, Germany, on 10-14 July 2023. ICALP is the main conference and annual meeting of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). As usual, ICALP will be preceded by a series of workshops, which will take place on July 10. The 2023 edition has the following features: - Submissions are anonymous, and there is a rebuttal phase. - The conference is planned as a physical, in-person event. - This will be the 50th ICALP conference and some special events are planned. ======================================================== Important dates and information ======================================================== Submissions: February 11, 2023 at 11am CET Rebuttal: March 22-25, 2023 Author notification: April 21, 2023 Camera-ready version: May 5, 2023 Early registration: TBA Conference: July 10-14, 2023 (Workshops on July 10, 2023) Deadlines are firm; late submissions will not be considered. Conference website: https://icalp2023.cs.upb.de/ Twitter: @ICALPconf Submission (tracks A and B): https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icalp2023 ======================================================== Invited Speakers ======================================================== Anna Karlin - University of Washington, USA Rasmus Kyng - ETH Zurich, Switzerland Rupak Majumdar - Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, Germany Thomas Vidick - California Institute of Technology, USA, and Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel James Worrell - University of Oxford, UK ======================================================== Submission guidelines ======================================================== 1) Papers must present original research on the theory of computer science. No prior publication and no simultaneous submission to other publication outlets (either a conference or a journal) is allowed. Authors are encouraged to also make full versions of their submissions freely accessible in an on-line repository such as ArXiv, HAL, ECCC. 2) Submissions take the form of an extended abstract of no more than 15 pages, excluding references and a clearly labelled appendix. The appendix may consist either of omitted proofs or of a full version of the submission, and it will be read at the discretion of program committee members. The extended abstract has to present the merits of the paper and its main contributions clearly, and describe the key concepts and technical ideas used to obtain the results. Submissions must provide the proofs which can enable the main mathematical claims of the paper to be fully verified. 3) Submissions are anonymous. The conference will employ a fairly lightweight double-blind reviewing process. Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In particular, authors’ names, affiliations, and email addresses should not appear at the beginning or in the body of the submission. Authors should ensure that any references to their own related work are 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 double-blind process is to help PC members and external reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, and not to make it impossible for them to discover who the authors are if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, important references should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For example, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web, submit them to arXiv, and give talks on their research ideas. 4) The submissions are done via Easychair to the appropriate track of the conference (see topics below). The use of pdflatex and the LIPIcs style are mandatory: papers that deviate significantly from the required format risk rejection without consideration of merit. 5) During the rebuttal phase, authors will have from March 22-25 to view and respond to initial reviews. Further instructions will be sent to authors of submitted papers before that time. 6) At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for the conference, and all talks are in-person. In exceptional cases, there may be support for remotely presenting a talk. 7) Papers authored only by students should be marked as such upon submission in order to be eligible for the best student paper awards of the track. ======================================================== Awards ======================================================== During the conference, the following awards will be given: – the EATCS award, - the Church prize, – the Presburger award, – the EATCS distinguished dissertation award, – the best papers for Track A and Track B, – the best student papers for Track A and Track B (see submission guidelines). ======================================================== Proceedings ======================================================== ICALP proceedings are published in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series. This is a series of high-quality conference proceedings across all fields in informatics established in cooperation with Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics. LIPIcs volumes are published according to the principle of Open Access, i.e., they are available online and free of charge. ======================================================== Topics ======================================================== Papers presenting original research on all aspects of theoretical computer science are sought. Typical but not exclusive topics of interest are: Track A: Algorithms, Complexity and Games ----------------------------------------------------------- Algorithmic and Complexity Aspects of Network

A Probabilistic Logic Between LPP1 and LPP2 by Šejla Dautović / LUW December 14, 2022
by jean-yves beziau 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

The next session of the Logica Universalis Webinar will be Wednesday December 14 at 4pm CET. Speaker:Šejla Dautović http://www.mi.sanu.ac.rs/novi_sajt/members/fulltime/sejla.php Title: A Probabilistic Logic Between LPP1 and LPP2 Abstract: An extension of the propositional probability logic LPP2 given in Ognjanović et al. (Probability Logics. Probability-Based Formalization of Uncertain Reasoning, Theoretical Springer, Cham, Switzerland, 2016) that allows mixing of propositional formulas and probabilistic formulas is introduced. We describe the corresponding class of models, and we show that the problem of deciding satisfiability is in NP. We provide infinitary axiomatization for the logic and we prove that the axiomatization is sound and strongly complete. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11787-022-00301-z Associate Organization: Seminar for Mathematical Logic, Belgrade, Serbia Presented by its chairman: Predrag Tanović Chair: Raja Natarajan Editorial Board Logica Universalis Everybody is welcome to attend https://www.springer.com/journal/11787/updates/20065848 Jean-Yves Beziau Organizer of LUW and Editor-in-Chief LU http://www.jyb-logic.org/

ESSLLI 2023: Second Call for Course and Workshop Proposals
by Kontinen, Juha A 02 Dec '22

02 Dec '22

Call for Course and Workshop Proposals 34th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information – ESSLLI 2023 31 July–11 August, 2023, Ljubljana, Slovenia https://2023.esslli.eu/ Important Dates 13 January 2023: Course Title submission deadline (mandatory) 20 January 2023: Final submission 3 March 2023: Notification Introduction Under the auspices of the Association for Logic, Language, and Information (FoLLI), the European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI) runs every year. Except for 2021, where the school was virtual, it runs in a different European country each year. It takes place over two weeks in the summer, hosts approximately 50 different courses at both introductory and advanced levels, and attracts around 400 participants from all over the world. Since 1989, ESSLLI has been providing outstanding interdisciplinary educational opportunities in the fields of Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Linguistics, Logic, Philosophy, and beyond. It comes from a community which recognizes that advances in our common areas require the contributions of multiple interrelated disciplines. The main focus of ESSLLI is the interface between linguistics, logic and computation, with special emphasis in human linguistic and cognitive ability. Courses, both introductory and advanced, cover a wide variety of topics within the combined areas of interest: Logic and Computation, Computation and Language, and Language and Logic. Workshops are also organized, providing opportunities for in-depth discussion of issues at the forefront of research, as well as a series of invited evening lectures. Topics and Format Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI 2023 are invited in all areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computer Sciences. Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged. Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two-week courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one. In such cases, the ESSLLI program committee reserves the right to accept just one of the two proposals. All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a minimum. However, organizers and instructors have their registration fees waived, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses up to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal notification. ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one course/workshop organizer, and cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe. The ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the School's expenses by seeking partial or complete coverage of travel and accommodation expenses from other sources. Categories Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories. Foundational Courses Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to people with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be of elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant discipline. They should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary nature of our research community. Introductory Courses Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are intended to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop some comfort and competence in the topic considered. Introductory courses in a cross-disciplinary area may presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines. Advanced Courses Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current research of a field. Workshops Workshops focus on specialized topics, usually of current interest. Workshop organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and selecting the workshop program. They are also responsible for publishing proceedings if they decide to have proceedings. Proposal Guidelines Course and workshop proposals should closely follow these guidelines to ensure full consideration. Course and Workshop proposals can be submitted by no more than two lecturers/organizers and they are presented by no more than these two lecturers/organizers. All instructors and organizers must possess a PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline. Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course category. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the intended level, for example as it relates to standard textbooks and monographs in the area. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in detail. Proposals of Courses given at ESSLLI the previous year will have a lower priority of being accepted in the current year. Proposals must be in PDF format include all of the following: 1. Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact address, email, homepage (optional) 2. General proposal information: Title, category 3. Contents information: a. Abstract of up to 150 words b. Motivation and description (up to two pages) c. Tentative outline d. Expected level and prerequisites e. Appropriate references (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings, surveys) 4. Information on the proposer and course: a. Will your course appeal to students outside of the main discipline of the course? b. Include information on your experience in the intensive one-week interdisciplinary setting c. Include evidence that the course proposer is an excellent lecturer 5. Information from workshop organizers: a. Include information on relevant preceding meetings and events, if applicable b. Include information about potential external funding for participants Submission Information By January 13, 2023: You are asked to submit in EasyChair at least the name(s) of the instructor(s), the ESSLLI area+course level and a short abstract. By January 20: Your submission must be completed by uploading a PDF with the actual proposal as detailed above. Submission Portal Please submit your proposals to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2023 Childcare If there is enough interest, ESSLLI will provide information on private child care services available during the summer school. EACSL Sponsorship The EACSL will support one Logic and Computation course or workshop addressing topics of interest to Computer Science Logic (CSL) conferences. The selected course or workshop will be designated an EACSL course/workshop in the programme. If you wish to be considered for this, please indicate so in your proposal.
