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.

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.

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.

==========
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.

FORMATS 2022: call for papers with deadline extension
- Abstract submission deadline extended to: 4 May 2022
- Paper submission deadline extended to: 6 May 2022
20th International Conference on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems
https://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/formats2022/
12-17 September 2022, Warsaw, Poland
co-located with CONCUR, FMICS and QEST as part of CONFEST 2022
SCOPE & TOPICS
FORMATS (International Conference on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems) is an annual conference which aims to promote the study of fundamental and practical aspects of timed systems, and to bring together researchers from different disciplines that share interests in the modelling, design and analysis of timed computational systems. 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. Submitted papers must contain original, unpublished contributions, not submitted for publication elsewhere. The papers should be submitted electronically in PDF, following the Springer LNCS style guidelines. Two categories of papers are invited:
• Regular papers, which should not exceed 15 pages in length
• Short papers, which should not exceed 7 pages in length
Both page limits exclude references, which are not limited in length. If necessary, the paper may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee. Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair online submission system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=formats2022

SPECIAL SESSION: SCREENING OF MOVIES ABOUT MATHEMATICIANS
It is planned to have a special session with the exhibition of a one-hour
documentary film about a remarkable mathematician who is considered a
father of modern differential geometry. "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. (zalafilms.com)
