Fwd: LogTeach-22, First Call for Papers

von Johann Makowsky

******************************************************************* LogTeach-22: Why and how to tech Logic for CS undergraduates? ******************************************************************* =============== Call for papers =============== https://easychair.org/cfp/LogTeach-22 LogTeach-22: LICS 2022 Workshop (July 31 and August 1, 2022, Haifa) Why and how to tech Logic for CS undergraduates? Scientific justification ------------------------- Logic is one of the pillars of the foundation of Computer Science, together with Algorithmic Mathematics, Information Theory, and Electronics. Consequently various versions of Logic courses used to be part of the undergraduate syllabus of Computer Science. However, as witnessed by the variety of conferences related to Logic present at the FLoC event, the emphasis has moved from the foundation to applications of Logic in Computer Science. Each of these conferences deal with topics suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, which require some Logic based prerequisite. On the other hand, Logic courses in the undergraduate syllabus have been forced to make place for courses deemed more suitable for the education of future specialists and practitioners working in IT. Many of the top Universities worldwide have dropped foundational Logic courses for undergraduates for more practical oriented courses, turning undergraduate CS programs into programs more suitable for what used to be vocational colleges and professional schools. Time has come to critically reflect upon and reevaluate the role of Logic in the undergraduate syllabus. It seems clear that the classical Logic in CS courses have no place there anymore. They seem to teach and emphasize the wrong narrative of logic as taught by tradition. However, it seems also clear that eliminating Logic courses all together is counter productive. The purpose of the workshop is the prepare a proposal for a logic course Logic-2020 which is useful and acceptable for University undergraduates in CS, and which can serve as a prerequisite for the many diverse branches of applied logic. "Logic may be not very useful, if you know it, but very harmful, if you ignore it" (Georg Kreisel) Invited speakers ---------------- * Moshe Vardi (Rice University, Houston TX, USA) * TBC Organisation ------------- The purpose of the workshop is to prepare a joint position paper to be published possibly in the Communications of ACM, or a similar prominent place, with recommendations for the future of teaching Logic for undergraduate CS-students. We plan to have presentations of position papers (30 minutes, including discussion) and invited lectures (60 minutes including discussion), followed by a two hour panel discussion. Workshop organizers and Program Committee ------------------------------------------ J.A. Makowsky (Technion, Haifa, Israel) E.V. Ravve (ORT Braude, Karmiel, Israel) S.N. Artemov (CUNY, New York, USA) S. Szeider (Technical University, Vienna, Austria) Dates and Location ------------------ FLOC is planned to be a conference with physical presence (possibly hybrid) in Haifa. The final decision on this will be made by May 1, 2022. * Deadline for abstract submission of papers: 10. May, 2022 * Deadline for submission of papers: 20.

QBF 2022 -- 2nd CFP

von HUBERT MING CHEN

CALL FOR PAPERS QBF 2022 -------- International Workshop on Quantified Boolean Formulas and Beyond August 1, 2022 To be held in hybrid format (virtually + in-person). https://www.ac.tuwien.ac.at/qbf2022/ Affiliated to and co-located with: Int. Conf. on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2022), August 2-5, 2022. ------------------------------------------------------------- Quantified Boolean formulas (QBF) are an extension of propositional logic which allows for explicit quantification over propositional variables. The decision problem of QBF is PSPACE-complete, compared to the NP-completeness of the decision problem of propositional logic (SAT). Many problems from application domains such as model checking, formal verification or synthesis are PSPACE-complete, and hence could be encoded in QBF in a natural way. Considerable progress has been made in QBF solving throughout the past years. However, in contrast to SAT, QBF is not yet widely applied to practical problems in academic or industrial settings. For example, the extraction and validation of models of (un)satisfiability of QBFs has turned out to be challenging, given that state-of-the-art solvers implement different solving paradigms. The goal of the International Workshop on Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF Workshop) is to bring together researchers working on theoretical and practical aspects of QBF solving. In addition to that, it addresses (potential) users of QBF in order to reflect on the state-of-the-art and to consolidate on immediate and long-term research challenges. The workshop also welcomes work on reasoning with quantifiers in related problems, such as dependency QBF (DQBF), quantified constraint satisfaction problems (QCSP), and satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) with quantifiers. =============== IMPORTANT DATES =============== May 1: Submission June 5: Notification of acceptance June 19: Final versions of accepted papers due August 1: Workshop Please see the workshop webpage for any updates: https://www.ac.tuwien.ac.at/qbf2022/ ====================== CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS ====================== The workshop is concerned with all aspects of current research on all formalisms enriched by quantifiers, and in particular QBF. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Applications, encodings and benchmarks with quantifiers QBF Proof theory and complexity results Experimental evaluations of solvers or related tools Case studies illustrating the power of quantifiers Certificates and proofs for QBF, QCSP, SMT with quantifiers, etc. Formats of proofs and certificates Implementations of proof checkers and verifiers Decision procedures Calculi and their relationships Data structures, implementation details and heuristics Pre- and inprocessing techniques Structural reasoning ========== SUBMISSION ========== Submissions of extended abstracts are invited and will be managed via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qbf2022 In particular, we invite the submission of extended abstracts on work that has been published already, novel unpublished work, or work in progress. The following forms of submissions are solicited: - Proposals for short tutorial presentations on topics related to the workshop. Tutorial proposals will be reviewed by the PC. The number of accepted tutorials depends on the overall number of accepted papers and talks, with the aim to set up a balanced workshop program. - Talk abstracts reporting on already published work. Such an abstract should include an outline of the planned talk, and pointers to relevant bibliography. - Talk proposals presenting work that is unpublished or in progress. - Submissions which describe novel applications of QBF or related formalisms in various domains are particularly welcome. Additionally, this call comprises known applications which have been shown to be hard for QBF solvers in the past as well as new applications for which present QBF solvers might lack certain features still to be identified. Each submission should have an overall length of 1-4 pages in LNCS format. Authors may decide to include an appendix with additional material. Appendices will be considered at the reviewers' discretion. The accepted extended abstracts will be published on the workshop webpage. The workshop does not have formal proceedings. Authors of accepted contributions are expected to give a talk at the workshop. ======= CONTACT ======= qbf2022(a)easychair.org ================= PROGRAM COMMITTEE ================= Hubie Chen, Birkbeck, University of London Florian Lonsing, Stanford University Martina Seidl, JKU Linz Friedrich Slivovsky, TU Wien

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. Typical topics include (but are not limited to): • Foundations and Semantics: Theoretical foundations of timed systems, languages and models (e.g., timed automata, timed Petri nets, hybrid automata, timed process algebra, max-plus algebra, probabilistic models). • Methods and Tools: Techniques, algorithms, data structures, and software tools for analyzing timed systems and resolving temporal constraints (e.g., scheduling, worst-case execution time analysis,optimization, model checking, testing, constraint solving). • Applications: Adaptation and specialization of timing technology in application domains in which timing plays an important role (e.g., real-time software, hardware circuits, scheduling in manufacturing and telecommunication, robotics). New for this year, FORMATS will incorporate a special track on: • Learning-based and data-driven systems: We particularly encourage papers that exploit synergies between the formal analysis of timed systems and data-driven techniques (such as reinforcement learning or deep learning), or which target application domains where learning is important (such as robotics or autonomous systems). In 2022, FORMATS celebrates its 20th anniversary and we plan to commemorate this with a special session at the conference. INVITED SPEAKERS FORMATS 2022 will feature two invited speakers: • Thao Dang (CNRS & VERIMAG, Université Grenoble-Alpes) • Joël Ouaknine (Max Planck Institute for Software Systems) PAPER SUBMISSION FORMATS 2022 solicits high-quality papers reporting research results, experience reports and/or tools related to the topics mentioned above.

"Taking the Long View: The Life of Shiing-shen Chern" (George Scisery, 2011) examines the life of a remarkable mathematician whose formidable mathematical contributions were matched by an approach and vision that helped build bridges between China and the West. The biographical documentary follows Shiing-shen Chern (1911-2004) through many of the most dramatic events of the 20th century, portraying a man who dedicated his life to pure mathematics with the style of a classical Chinese sage.
