by Mattias Ulbrich

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Please, pass it on to interested colleagues. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PhD Symposium iFM 2024 - Final Call for Papers (Extended Deadline) 19th International Conference on integrated Formal Methods 12 November 2024, Manchester, United Kingdom https://ifm2024.cs.manchester.ac.uk/phd-symposium.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission (EXTENDED): 30 Aug 2024 (AoE) Author notification: 22 Sep 2024 (AoE) Camera-ready: 7 Oct 2024 (AoE) Early registration: until 19 Oct 2024 Symposium date: 12 Nov 2024 OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE The iFM PhD symposium provides PhD students an opportunity to present and discuss their research in the fields of theory, implementation, integration or application of formal methods. WHO CAN SUBMIT? PhD students and young researchers at an early career stage (up to 2 years after PhD completion). WHY TO SUBMIT AND PARTICIPATE? Participants will have the possibility to present their research projects. Moreover: The doctoral symposium offers an excellent opportunity to introduce your work to fellow researchers in an international setting, and to get feedback from senior researchers in the field. The doctoral symposium lets you exchange knowledge and experiences with fellow PhD-students in a related topic -- both regarding research and regarding working towards an PhD. WHAT TO SUBMIT? There are several options for your submission: 1 _Thesis Proposal Abstracts_ summarize your research questions and outline your planned approach without needing to report experimental results. They are ideal for early-stage PhD students to get feedback on their research project during the initial planing and orientation phase. Abstracts have 2-3 pages, co-authors are allowed, and results may have been published previously if appropriately referenced. Indicate if also submitted to iFM2024. 2 _Result Reports_ are short papers summarizing preliminary results of early-stage research. Result Reports are short papers summarizing preliminary results of early-stage research. They should objectively report the addressed question, applied methods, and obtained results. Papers on unexpected results or ineffective methods are particularly welcome. Result Reports have 3-6 pages, co-authors are allowed, the work must be previously unpublished. 3 _Master summaries_ are short papers summarizing the research question, method, and results of your impactful Master's thesis together with a discussion about possible next research steps. They are ideal for new and future PhD students to communicate their thesis results. Master reports have 2-3 pages, an experienced supervisor should be a co-author, and results may have been published previously if appropriately referenced. Indicate if also submitted to iFM2024. All submissions will be reviewed and accepted papers will be made publicly available in open-access online symposium proceedings. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Multiple submissions by one author are not permitted. Submissions must be written in English and follow the CEUR-WS single-column formatting guidelines, available at: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip or on overleaf https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-w… Please submit your contribution electronically in PDF via the EasyChair page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifm2024phd All submissions will be peer reviewed, and will be evaluated based on their clarity and their potential to generate interesting discussions. Authors will get valuable feedback from more experienced reviewers. All types of contributions will benefit from feedback received during a dicussion at the workshop. Reviewing will be single blind, i.e, submissions need not be anonymized.

[Vardi-list] ICLA 2025

by Moshe Vardi

As you may know, the Indian Conference on Logic and its Applications (ICLA) is a biennial international conference conducted by the Association for Logic in India (ALI; https://logicindia.org). The conference spans a wide range of themes in logic as pursued in Mathematics, Philosophy and Computer Science. Here are the links to the previous two editions of ICLA: https://icla2023.iiti.ac.in/ (ICLA '23) and https://www.isichennai.res.in/~sujata/icla2021/ (ICLA '21). The forthcoming ICLA 2025 is the 11th edition of the conference which will take place at the Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata during Feb 3 -- 5, 2025. We have included various special features in the conference this time, and have also broadened the set of submission topics to include many new themes in all three disciplines of math, philosophy, and CS. Please find below the links to the ICLA webpage and its EasyChair CFP page.

Fully funded PhD position in computer science (inc. combinatorics,

by Jonni T Virtema

** Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this open position ** A fully funded research and teaching position with the opportunity of undertaking a PhD at the Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield is available. Candidates within the scope of the Foundation of Computation (FOX) Group are in particular encouraged to apply: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/dcs/research/groups/foundations-computation The FOX research group at Sheffield is growing rapidly. This post provides excellent opportunities for a graduate student (UK and overseas) to obtain a PhD in any active research area of the group (see below the research interests of potential supervisors). The post is a fully funded salaried position for six years, 60% of your time will be dedicated to research, with the remaining 40% allocated to teaching. For more detailed information (including roles and responsibilities), please see https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DIZ683/research-and-teaching-assistant For details on possible supervisors, research projects, and any informal enquiries, please contact the respective faculty members by email: Dr. Charles Grellois (c.grellois(a)sheffield.ac.uk) Dr. Maksim Zhukovskii (m.zhukovskii(a)sheffield.ac.uk) Dr. Jonni Virtema (j.t.virtema(a)sheffield.ac.uk) Dr. Harsh Beohar (h.beohar(a)sheffield.ac.uk) Dr. Charles Grellois is mainly interested in the verification of functional programs, would they be deterministic or probabilistic. He has worked on higher-order model-checking in the deterministic case, and on higher-order termination analysis in the probabilistic case. These approaches use techniques from linear logic and its models, category theory, (intersection) type theory, tree automata theory, probabilistic semantics, realizability… Several interesting questions are still open so that several different PhD projects could be discussed on these topics; but he is also open to other research topics in this area, to be discussed with the prospective student. Dr. Maksim Zhukovskii is interested in combinatorics, probability, logic, computational and descriptive complexity. Currently Maksim is working on variety of topics including extremal combinatorics (Turan-type questions, saturation, colourings, etc), random graphs (thresholds, limiting distributions, logical limit laws, almost sure theories), average-case complexity (canonical labelling of random graphs, search problems in random graphs, reconstruction problems), enumerative combinatorics (random regular graphs, degree sequences), algebraic combinatorics (Cayley graphs, isomorphism problem for abelian groups, matroids), random walks, first order logic and expressive power of its fragments, second order logic and modal logic. See https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=sd_xBDQAAAAJ for the list of publications. Dr. Jonni Virtema is keen to supervise students in any area of his current research, which relate to the interplay of logic and complexity theory. Current topics include logics and complexity theory related to numerical data, and temporal logics designed to express so-called hyperproperties, which are important in information flow and security. A further emerging topic is to study foundations of neural networks using the machinery of logics and complexity theory related to numerical data. See http://www.virtema.fi/ for further details. Dr. Harsh Beohar is broadly interested in comparative concurrency semantics and in the interplay of category theory, logic, and semantics. Current topics include expressive modal logics, behavioural equivalence games, synthesising distinguishing/characteristic formulae all at the level of coalgebras. See https://dblp.org/pid/13/7482.html for an uptodate list of publications.
