*********** *********** ***********
The increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence techniques in safety-critical systems, employed in real world scenarios, requires the design of reliable, robust, and verifiable methodologies. Artificial Intelligence systems employed in such applications need to provide formal guarantees about their safety, increasing the need for a close interaction between the Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods scientific communities.
To witness this increasing need, tools and methodologies integrating Formal Methods and Artificial Intelligence solutions are getting more and more attention.
The workshop is the main official initiative supported by the OVERLAY group (https://overlay.uniud.it). The event aims at establishing a stable, long-term scientific forum on relevant topics connected to the relationships between Artificial Intelligence and Formal
Methods, by providing a stimulating environment where researchers can discuss
about opportunities and challenges at the border of the two areas.
Important goals of the workshop are (i) to encourage the ongoing interaction between the formal methods and artificial intelligence communities, (ii) to identify innovative tools and methodologies, and (iii) to elicit a discussion on open issues and new challenges.
This year edition will be held between 28th November and 4th December 2022 (the precise day(s) will be announced later), as a hybrid workshop co-located with AIxIA 2022 (https://aixia2022.uniud.it), which is scheduled to be held in Udine, Italy (unless it will be an online event, depending on the pandemic emergency situation).
*** Invited speaker ***
Luca Bortolussi (University of Trieste, Italy)
*** Call for contributions ***
We accept extended abstracts (4 pages + references) focusing on the interaction between Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods. Invited talks will complement the presentations of contributed papers.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
automata theory
automated reasoning
automated planning and scheduling
controller synthesis
formal specification languages
formal verification
game theory
hybrid and discrete systems
logics in computer science
reactive synthesis
runtime verification and monitoring
specification and verification of machine learning systems
tools and applications
Contributed papers can present recent results at the border of the two fields, new research directions, challenges and perspectives. Presentation of results recently published in other scientific journals or conferences is also welcome.
We plan on including all papers in the Proceedings of the event, published at CEUR Workshop Proceedings. CEUR WS proceedings are archival proceedings indexed by DBLP and Scopus.
Submitted papers should not exceed four (4) pages plus references. Authors are asked to use CEUR's LaTeX style, available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip.
Submissions must be in PDF format and will be handled via the EasyChair Conference system at the following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=overlay22.
*** Important dates ***
- Paper submission: September 30th, 2022
- Acceptance notification: October 21th, 2022
- Camera-ready submission: November 4th, 2022
- Workshop: between 28th November and 4th December, 2022 (the precise day(s) will be announced later)
*** COVID-19 Information ***
Taking into account the emergency situation, the organizers of OVERLAY 2022 will closely monitor the evolution of the pandemic and will take all the necessary actions to guarantee a successful event. OVERLAY 2022 will be planned as a fully in-person conference, with the possibility, on a limited basis, of participating virtually, if necessary. Should the situation worsen and an in-person event become impossible, OVERLAY 2022 will be transformed into a fully virtual conference. Updates on the organization mode will be published and advertised in due time.

STACS 2023 - Call for Papers
-----------------------
The 40th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer
Science is planned to take place from 7 March to 10 March 2023 in
Hamburg, Germany.
For the first time, STACS 2023 will consist of two tracks, A and B, to
facilitate the work of the program committee(s).
Track A is dedicated to algorithms and data structures, complexity and
games.
Track B will cover automata, logic, semantics and theory of programming.
LISTS OF TOPICS
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished
research on theoretical aspects of computer science. Typical areas include:
Track A:
algorithms and data structures, including: design of parallel,
distributed, approximation, parameterized and randomized algorithms;
analysis of algorithms and combinatorics of data structures;
computational geometry, cryptography, algorithms for machine learning,
algorithmic game theory, quantum algorithms
complexity, including: computational and structural complexity theory,
parameterized complexity, randomness in computation
Track B:
automata and formal languages,
including: automata theory, games, algebraic and categorical methods,
coding theory, models of computation, computability
logic in computer science,
including: finite model theory, database theory, semantics, type
systems, program analysis, specification & verification, rewriting and
deduction, learning theory, logical aspects of complexity
These lists are not exhaustive. In particular, both tracks also welcome
submissions about current challenges.
PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIRS
Track A:
- Petra Berenbrink (Universität Hamburg, Germany)
- Mamadou Moustapha Kanté (Université Clermont Auvergne, France)
Track B:
- Patricia Bouyer-Decitre (CNRS, France)
- Anuj Dawar (University of Cambridge, UK)
SUBMISSIONS
Submissions will be through EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=stacs23).
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper with at
most 12 pages (excluding the title page and the references section) to
the appropriate track. The title page consists of the title of the paper
and the abstract, but *no* author information. The first section of the
paper should start on the next page.
The PCs reserve the right to reassign a paper to a different track.
The usage of pdflatex and the LIPIcs style file are mandatory no changes
to font size, page geometry, etc. are permitted (see
http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics
<http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics>) . Submissions not in
the correct format or submitted after the deadline will not be considered.
The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their
motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of
their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted
due to space constraints must be put into an appendix, to be read by the
program committee members at their discretion.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings
or to journals is not allowed. PC members are excluded from submitting.
As in the previous two years, STACS 2023 will employ a lightweight
double-blind reviewing process: submissions should not reveal the
identity of the authors in any way. The purpose of the double-blind
reviewing is to help PC members and external reviewers come to an
initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible
for them to discover the authors 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.
There will be a rebuttal period for authors, see below for the dates.
Authors will receive the reviews of their submissions (via EasyChair)
and have three days to submit rebuttals (via EasyChair). These rebuttals
become part of the PC discussions, but entail no specific responses.
At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register at
the conference. For authors who cannot present their paper in person a
possibility for remote presentation will be offered.
Note that at least one of the authors will have to register for STACS'23
at the cost of around 400€.
PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the symposium.
As usual, these proceedings will appear in the Leibniz International
Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series, based at Schloss Dagstuhl.
This guarantees perennial, free and easy electronic access, while the
authors retain the rights over their work. With their submission,
authors consent to sign a license authorizing the program committee
chairs to organize the electronic publication of their paper, provided
the paper is accepted.
IMPORTANT DATES
* Deadline for submissions: September 25, 2022 (AoE)
* Rebuttal: November 14-16, 2022
* Author notification: December 4, 2022
* Final version: January 8, 2023

We are very pleased to spread the first information about the 4th edition of the School on Foundations of Programming and Software Systems, to be held in Bertinoro on February 13-17, 2023. This will be the first edition of the school after the beginning of the COVID pandemic. The previous editions of the school took place in Porto [1], Oxford [2], and Warsaw [3].
The school is oriented to Master and PhD students, and to young scholars. It will be held at CEUB [4], which can be reached from Bologna in about 90 minutes. (We are considering, depending on the number of participants, to organize bus transfers to and from Bologna Airport on February 12 and 18, 2023).
The main theme of this edition of FoPSS are the quantitative aspects of program semantics, verification, and transformation. The following researchers have accepted to give short courses or seminars as part of the school:
Deepak Garg (MPI-SWS), on "Resource Analysis Using Types"
Marco Gaboardi (Boston University), on "Relational Reasoning for Security and Privacy"
Benjamin Kaminski (Saarland University), on "Quantitative Verification, Transformer-style"
Delia Kesner (Université de Paris), on "Quantitative Types for Higher-Order Programming Languages"
Aleks Kissinger (Oxford), on "Picturing Quantum Software"
Damiano Mazza (CNRS), on "Introduction to Differentiable Programming"
Prakash Panangaden (McGill), on "Bisimulation Metrics and Variations with Applications to Representation Learning"
Christin Tasson (Sorbonne Université), on "Probabilistic Program Semantics"
Valeria Vignudelli (CNRS), on "Equational Theories for Probabilistic Effects"
Registration will cover participation to the school and accommodation at CEUB with half board. Thanks to the help of sponsors (including ETAPS, SIGLOG, SIGPLAN, the University of Bologna, and the DIAPASoN Project), we plan to keep the registration fee as low as possible.
The reception capacity of the CEUB is big, but subject to limits. We therefore encourage those interested in participating to the school to pre-register by following the link below [5] and fill the form
*by September 22, 2022*.
This we will us to keep track of the numbers. A web page with more detailed information will soon be ready and accessible via [5].
We would be happy to answer any questions about the organization of the school. Just send us an email!
Looking forward to seeing you in Bertinoro.
Best Regards,
Ugo Dal Lago, Francesco Gavazzo, Paolo Pistone.

DISTINGUISHED PAPER AWARDS
Around 10% of the accepted papers at CPP 2023 will be designated as
Distinguished Papers. This award highlights papers that the CPP program
committee thinks should be read by a broad audience due to their relevance,
originality, significance and clarity.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
We welcome submissions in research areas related to formal certification of
programs and proofs. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics of
interest to CPP:
* certified or certifying programming, compilation, linking, OS kernels,
runtime
systems, security monitors, and hardware;
* certified mathematical libraries and mathematical theorems;
* proof assistants (e.g, ACL2, Agda, Coq, Dafny, F*, HOL4, HOL Light, Idris,
Isabelle, Lean, Mizar, Nuprl, PVS, etc);
* new languages and tools for certified programming;
* program analysis, program verification, and program synthesis;
* program logics, type systems, and semantics for certified code;
* logics for certifying concurrent and distributed systems;
* mechanized metatheory, formalized programming language semantics, and
logical
frameworks;
* higher-order logics, dependent type theory, proof theory, logical systems,
separation logics, and logics for security;
* verification of correctness and security properties;
* formally verified blockchains and smart contracts;
* certificates for decision procedures, including linear algebra, polynomial
systems, SAT, SMT, and unification in algebras of interest;
* certificates for semi-decision procedures, including equality, first-order
logic, and higher-order unification;
* certificates for program termination;
* formal models of computation;
* mechanized (un)decidability and computational complexity proofs;
* formally certified methods for induction and coinduction;
* integration of interactive and automated provers;
* logical foundations of proof assistants;
* applications of AI and machine learning to formal certification;
* user interfaces for proof assistants and theorem provers;
* teaching mathematics and computer science with proof assistants.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Prior to the paper submission deadline, the authors should upload their
anonymized paper in PDF format through the HotCRP system at
https://cpp2023.hotcrp.com
The submissions must be written in English and provide sufficient detail to
allow the program committee to assess the merits of the contribution.
They must
be formatted following the ACM SIGPLAN Proceedings format using the
acmart style
with the sigplan option, which provides a two-column style, using 10
point font
for the main text, and a header for double blind review submission, i.e.,
\documentclass[sigplan,10pt,anonymous,review]{acmart}\settopmatter{printfolios=true,printccs=false,printacmref=false}
The submitted papers should not exceed 12 pages, including tables and
figures,
but excluding bibliography and clearly marked appendices. The papers
should be
self-contained without the appendices. Shorter papers are welcome and
will be
given equal consideration. Submissions not conforming to the requirements
concerning format and maximum length may be rejected without further
consideration.
CPP 2023 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process
following the
process from previous years. To facilitate this, the submissions must
adhere to
two rules:
(1) author names and institutions must be omitted, and
(2) references to authors’ own related work should be 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 process is to help the PC and external reviewers
come to an
initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for
them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done
in the
name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of
reviewing it
more difficult. In particular, important background references should not be
omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors are free to disseminate
their ideas
or draft versions of their papers as usual. For example, authors may
post drafts
of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas. Note
that POPL
2023 itself will employ full double-blind reviewing, which differs from the
light-weight CPP process. This FAQ from previous SIGPLAN conference
addresses
many common concerns:
https://popl20.sigplan.org/track/POPL-2020-Research-Papers#Submission-and-R…
We strongly encourage the authors to provide any supplementary material that
supports the claims made in the paper, such as proof scripts or experimental
data. This material must be uploaded at submission time, as an archive,
not via
a URL. Two forms of supplementary material may be submitted:
(1) Anonymous supplementary material is made available to the reviewers
before
they submit their first-draft reviews.
(2) Non-anonymous supplementary material is made available to the reviewers
after they have submitted their first-draft reviews and have learned the
identity of the authors.
Please use anonymous supplementary material whenever possible, so that
it can be
taken into account from the beginning of the reviewing process.
The submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy
(https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/) and the ACM
Policy
on Plagiarism (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism).
Concurrent
submissions to other conferences, journals, workshops with proceedings, or
similar forums of publication are not allowed. The PC chairs should be
informed
of closely related work submitted to a conference or journal in advance of
submission. One author of each accepted paper is expected to present it
at the
(possibly virtual) conference.
PUBLICATION, COPYRIGHT AND OPEN ACCESS
The CPP 2023 proceedings will be published by the ACM, and authors of
accepted
papers will be required to choose one of the following publication options:
(1) Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM a non-exclusive
permission-to-publish license and, optionally, licenses the work
under a
Creative Commons license.
(2) Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM an exclusive
permission-to-publish license.
(3) Author transfers copyright of the work to ACM.
For authors who can afford it, we recommend option (1), which will make the
paper Gold Open Access, and also encourage such authors to license their
work
under the CC-BY license. ACM will charge you an article processing fee
for this
option (currently, US$700), which you have to pay directly with the ACM.
For everyone else, we recommend option (2), which is free and allows you to
achieve Green Open Access, by uploading a preprint of your paper to a
repository
that guarantees permanent archival such as arXiv or HAL. This is anyway
a good
idea for timely dissemination even if you chose option 1.
The official CPP 2023 proceedings will also be available via SIGPLAN OpenTOC
(http://www.sigplan.org/OpenTOC/#cpp).
For ACM’s take on this, see their Copyright Policy
(http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright-policy) and Author
Rights
(http://authors.acm.org/main.html).
