FTfJP 2024 - First CfP

by Di Stefano, Luca

========================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS FTfJP 2024 26th Workshop on Formal Techniques for Java-like Programs 20 September 2024, Vienna, Austria https://conf.researchr.org/home/issta-ecoop-2024/FTfJP-2024 =========================================================== === Important dates === Important dates - Paper submission: 19 June 2024 (AoE) - Paper notification: 24 July 2024 (AoE) - Workshop date: 20 September 2024, colocated with ISSTA/ECOOP 2024 (16-20 September 2024) Deadlines expire at 23:59 anywhere on earth on the dates displayed above. Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ftfjp2024 === Objectives and scope === Formal techniques can help analyse programs, precisely describe program behaviour, and verify program properties. Modern programming languages are interesting targets for formal techniques due to their ubiquity and wide user base, stable and well-defined interfaces and platforms, and powerful (but also complex) libraries. New languages and applications in this space are continually arising, resulting in new programming languages research challenges. Work on formal techniques and tools and on the formal underpinnings of programming languages themselves naturally complement each other. FTfJP is an established workshop which has run annually since 1999 alongside ECOOP, with the goal of bringing together people working in both fields. The workshop has a broad PL theme; the most important criterion is that submissions will generate interesting discussions within this community. The term 'Java-like' is somewhat historic and should be interpreted broadly: FTfJP solicits and welcomes submission relating to programming languages in general, beyond Java. Past editions of FTfJP have featured work on C++, JavaScript, Rust, and other languages and calculi. The term 'formal techniques' has a similarly broad interpretation. Example topics of interest include: - Language design and semantics - Type systems - Concurrency and new application domains - Specification and verification of program properties - Program analysis (static or dynamic) - Program synthesis - Security - Pearls (programs or proofs) FTfJP welcomes submissions on technical contributions, case studies, experience reports, challenge proposals, tools, and position papers. Webpages for previous workshops in this series are available at https://ftfjp.github.io/. === Paper Categories === Contributions are sought in two categories: - Full Papers (6 pages, excluding references) present a technical contribution, case study, or detailed experience report. We welcome both complete and incomplete technical results; ongoing work is particularly welcome, provided it is substantial enough to stimulate interesting discussions. - Short Papers (2 pages, excluding references) should advocate a promising research direction, or otherwise present a position likely to stimulate discussion at the workshop. We encourage e.g. established researchers to set out a personal vision, and beginning researchers to present a planned path to a PhD. Both types of contributions will benefit from feedback received at the workshop. Submissions will be peer reviewed, and will be evaluated based on their clarity and their potential to generate interesting discussions. Reviewing will be single blind, i.e, submissions need not be anonymized. The format of the workshop encourages interaction. FTfJP is a forum in which a wide range of people share their expertise, from experienced researchers to beginning PhD students. === Submission guidelines === All submissions and reviews will be managed within EasyChair. Submissions should be made via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ftfjp2024. There is no need to indicate the paper category (long/short). Submissions should be in acmart/sigplan style, 10pt font. Formatting requirements are detailed on the SIGPLAN Author Information page (https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author). We plan that, as in previous years, accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library, though authors will be able to opt out of this publication, if desired. At least one author of an accepted paper must register to the conference by the early registration date and attend the workshop to present the work and participate in the discussions. === Steering Committee === Werner Dietl, University of Waterloo, Canada Radu Grigore, Facebook, United Kingdom Gary T. Leavens, University of Central Florida, United States Rosemary Monahan, National University of Ireland, Ireland (SC chair) Alexander J. Summers, University of British Columbia, Canada === Program Committee === Vincenzo Arceri, University of Parma, Italy Avik Chaudhuri, Facebook, United States Claire Dross, AdaCore, France Madalina Erascu, Institute e-Austria Timisoara, Romania Marie-Christine Jakobs, LMU Munich, Germany Kenny Lu Zhuo Ming, Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore Lina Marsso, University of Toronto, Canada Henrique Rebelo, Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil Silvia Lizeth Tapia Tarifa, University of Oslo, Norway Oksana Tkachuk, Amazon Web Services, United States Luca Di Stefano TU Wien Informatics https://www.lucadistefano.eu

CFP for KoDis/CAKR 2024, the Joint Workshop on Knowledge Diversity

by Lucia Gomez Alvarez

CALL FOR PAPERS Joint Workshop on Knowledge Diversity and Cognitive Aspects of KR (KoDis/CAKR) ============================================================================== Co-located with the 21st International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2024), November 2 – 8, 2024 in Hanoi, Vietnam This workshop is the joint continuation of the previous Workshop on Cognitive Aspects of KR (CAKR) and of the Workshop on Knowledge Diversity (KoDis). In view of the partial overlap of topics and target audience, we organise the KoDis and CAKR workshops jointly this year. Website: https://kodis-cakr24.krportal.org/ Important Dates: ---------------- All dates are given Anywhere on Earth (AoE). - Papers due: July 17, 2024 - Notification to authors: August 21, 2024 - Camera-ready version due: September 18, 2024 - Workshop date: November 2, 3, or 4, 2024 Overview: --------- The KoDis workshop intends to create a space of confluence and a forum for discussion for researchers interested in knowledge diversity in a wide sense, including diversity in terms of diverging perspectives, different beliefs, semantic heterogeneity and others. The importance of understanding and handling the different forms of diversity that manifest between knowledge formalisations (ontologies, knowledge bases, or knowledge graphs) is widely recognised and has led to the proposal of a variety of systems of representation, tackling overlapping aspects of this phenomenon. Besides understanding the phenomenon and considering formal models for the representation of knowledge diversity, we are interested in the variety of reasoning problems that emerge in this context, including joint reasoning with possibly conflicting sources, interpreting knowledge from alternative viewpoints, consolidating the diversity as uncertainty, reasoning by means of argumentation between the sources and pursuing knowledge aggregations among others. A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest for the KoDis workshop is given below. - Philosophical and cognitive analysis of knowledge diversity. - Formal models for the representation of knowledge diversity. - Ontological approaches capturing multiple perspectives and viewpoints. - Context and concept formation in such systems. - Consistency (or not) in multi-perspective systems; assessment and mitigation of inconsistencies. - Communication between knowledge-diverse systems. - Argumentation-based approaches for dealing with inconsistency. - Aggregation of diverse or inconsistent knowledge; judgement aggregation. - Uncertainty in the context of knowledge diversity. - Applications of formal models of knowledge diversity. The CAKR workshop deals with cognitively adequate approaches to knowledge representation and reasoning. Knowledge representation is a lively and well-established field of AI, where knowledge and belief are represented declaratively and suitable for machine processing. It is often claimed that this declarative nature makes knowledge representation cognitively more adequate than e.g. sub-symbolic approaches, such as machine learning. This cognitive adequacy has important ramifications for the explainability of approaches in knowledge representation, which in turn is essential for the trustworthiness of these approaches. However, exactly how cognitive adequacy is ensured has often been left implicit, and connections with cognitive science and psychology are only recently being taken up. The goal of the CAKR workshop is to bring together experts from fields including artificial intelligence, psychology, cognitive science and philosophy to discuss important questions related to cognitive aspects of knowledge representation, such as: - How can we study the cognitive adequacy of approaches in AI? - Are declarative approaches cognitively more adequate than other approaches in AI? - What is the connection between cognitive adequacy and explanatory potential? - How to develop benchmarks for studying cognitive aspects of AI? - Which results from psychology are relevant for AI? - What is the role of the normative-descriptive distinction in current developments in AI? Call for Papers: --------------- We invite both long and short papers, as well as reports on recently published papers in reputed venues. Submissions will be peer-reviewed to ensure quality and relevance to the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop to present the contribution. Submissions should be of one of the following types: - long papers reporting unpublished research (10–12 pages excluding references), - short papers reporting unpublished research (5–6 pages excluding references), or - extended abstracts (up to 3 pages including references) presenting work relevant to the workshop already published in other conferences or journals. Such an abstract should summarize the contributions of the article and its relevance for the workshop, as well as include bibliographic details of the article and a link to the article. Publication: ----------- We plan to publish informal proceedings in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings. Organizing Committee: --------------------- Lucía Gómez Alvarez, Univ. Grenoble Alpes, Inria, CNRS, Grenoble INP, LIG, F-38000 Grenoble, France Jonas Haldimann, FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany Jesse Heyninck, OpenUniversiteit, the Netherlands; University of Cape Town and CAIR, South Africa Srdjan Vesic, CRIL CNRS Univ.

LearnAut 2024 First Call for Participation (In-Person ICALP/LiCS/FSCD workshop) – Early registration deadline May 17

by Sammartino, Matteo

*Apologies for eventual multiple receptions* The 5th workshop on Learning & Automata - satellite of ICALP/LiCS/FSCD 2024 https://learnaut24.github.io/ July 7th 2024, Tallinn Location: Astra building on the campus of Tallinn University, Tallinn,Estonia . This event will be conducted in person in Tallinn. Registration is mandatory (please find the corresponding links here: https://compose.ioc.ee/icalp2024/#registration). Please note that early-bird registration closes on May 17. It is our pleasure to inform you about LearnAut 2024, the fifth edition of the workshop, co-located with ICALP, LiCS and FSCD. Learning models defining recursive computations, like automata and formal grammars, are the core of the field called Grammatical Inference (GI). The expressive power of these models and the complexity of the associated computational problems are major research topics within mathematical logic and computer science. Historically, there has been little interaction between the GI and ICALP communities, though recently some important results started to bridge the gap between both worlds, including applications of learning to formal verification and model checking, and (co-)algebraic formulations of automata and grammar learning algorithms. The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts on logic who could benefit from grammatical inference tools, and researchers in grammatical inference who could find in logic and verification new fruitful applications for their methods. The LearnAut workshop will consist of 3 invited talks and 9 contributed talks from researchers whose submitted works were selected after peer reviewing. An important amount of time will be kept for interactions between participants. ** Invited Speakers ** * Bernhard Aichernig, TU Graz, Austria * Martin Berger, University of Sussex, UK * Ryan Cotterell, ETH Zürich, Switzerland ** Selected papers ** * Learning EFSM Models with Registers in Guards, by German Vega, Michael Foster, Roland Groz, Neil Walkinshaw, Catherine Oriat, and Adenilso Simao * Small Test Suites for Active Automata Learning, by Loes Kruger, Sebastian Junges, and Jurriaan Rot * Learning Closed Signal Flow Graphs, by Ekaterina Piotrovskaya, Leo Lobski, and Fabio Zanasi * PDFA Distillation via String Probability Queries, by Robert Baumgartner and Sicco Verwer * Database-assisted automata learning, by Hielke Walinga, Robert Baumgartner, and Sicco Verwer * Output-decomposed Learning of Mealy Machines, by Rick Koenders and Joshua Moerman * Analyzing constrained LLM through PDFA-learning, by Matías Carrasco, Franz Mayr, Sergio Yovine, Johny Kidd, Martín Iturbide, Juan da Silva, and Alejo Garat * A Theoretical Analysis of the Incremental Counting Ability of LSTM in Finite Precision, by Volodimir Mitarchuk and Rémi Eyraud * DFAMiner: Mining minimal separating DFAs from labelled samples, by Daniele Dell'Erba, Yong Li, and Sven Schewe ** Organizers ** Sophie Fortz (King's College London, UK) Franz Mayr (Universidad ORT Uruguay, UY) Joshua Moerman (Open Universiteit, Heerlen, NL) Matteo Sammartino (Royal Holloway, University of London, UK) This email, its contents and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
