Certified Programs and Proofs (CPP) 2023 Call for Papers

von Steve Zdancewic

Certified Programs and Proofs (CPP) is an international conference on practical and theoretical topics in all areas that consider formal verification and certification as an essential paradigm for their work. CPP spans areas of computer science, mathematics, logic, and education. CPP 2023 (https://popl23.sigplan.org/home/CPP-2023) will be held on 16-17 January 2023 and will be co-located with POPL 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. CPP 2023 is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGLOG. CPP 2023 will welcome contributions from all members of the community. The CPP 2023 organizers will strive to enable both in-person and remote participation, in cooperation with the POPL 2023 organizers. IMPORTANT DATES * Abstract Submission Deadline: 14 September 2022 at 23:59 AoE (UTC-12h) * Paper Submission Deadline: 21 September 2022 at 23:59 AoE (UTC-12h) * Notification (tentative): 21 November 2022 * Camera Ready Deadline (tentative): 12 December 2022 * Conference: 16-17 January 2023 Deadlines expire at the end of the day, anywhere on earth. Abstract and submission deadlines are strict and there will be no extensions. 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).

ABOUT FLOC During the past forty years there has been extensive, continuous, and growing interaction between logic and computer science. In many respects, logic provides computer science with both a unifying foundational framework and a tool for modeling. In fact, logic has been called “the calculus of computer science”, playing a crucial role in diverse areas such as artificial intelligence, computational complexity, distributed computing, database systems, hardware design, programming languages, and software engineering. The Federated Logic Conference brings together several international conferences related to mathematical logic and computer science and was first organized in 1996, as part of the DIMACS Special Year on Logic and Algorithms. Since then FLoC was held in Trento in 1999, Copenhagen in 2002, Seattle in 2006, Edinburgh in 2010, Vienna in 2014, and Oxford in 2018. The eighth Federated Logic Conference (FLoC'22) will be held in Haifa, Israel, in July 2022.

Logic in Question / Couturat by Anne-Françoise Schmid / LUW June 15 at 4pm CET

von jean-yves beziau

Next Wednesday, June 15 at 16h CET we will have the next session of the Logica Universalis Webinar. It is about the book "Logic in Question - Talks from the Annual Sorbonne Logic Workshop (2011- 2019)" published in the book series Studies in Universal Logic (SUL) https://www.springer.com/series/7391 This book is related to the Workshop "Logic in Question" organized every Spring at the Sorbonne in Paris since 2011 http://www.logic-in-question.org/ In this workshop all aspects of logic are discussed and we already had talks by a great variety of speakers from all over the world http://www.logic-in-question.org/speakers-2011-2019.html The present book collects not all the talks, but a good number of them. It is a 750-page book including 38 papers such as: - "What Is “Ancient Chinese Logic?" by Guo Zhenzhen - "Frege’s Silence About Bolzano" by Jan Sebestik - "The Relevance Logic Programme: Failed or Just Stalled?" by David Makinson - "Contributions of Logical Analysis for Mathematics Education" by Viviane Durand-Guerrier - "Back and Forth in Positive Logic", by Bruno Poizat and Aibat Yeshkeyev to quote just a few. This session of the webinar will be chaired by Razvan Diaconescu, member of the editorial board of SUL. There will be a general presentation of the workshop and the book and then a talk corresponding to one chapter of the book: - "The Place and Value of Logic in Louis Couturat’s Philosophical Thinking" by Anne-Françoise Schmid Louis Couturat was born January 17, 1868 and died August 3 1914. His world Logic Day Number is therefore B+3 "A confirmed pacifist, he was killed when his car was hit by a car carrying orders for the mobilization of the French Army, in the first stage of World War I." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Couturat He proposed the word "Logistique" (Logistics) to name modern logic. He was close to Bertarnd Russell. The correspondence between Couturat and Russell, the most important scientific correspondence of Russell, dealing with all kinds of topics, was lost under the snow in La-Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland. Many years later It was edited and published by the author of the talk, Anne-Françoise Schmid Correspondance sur la philosophie, la logique et la politique : Bertrand Russell et Louis Couturat, 1897-1913 https://www.amazon.fr/Correspondance-sur-philosophie-logique-politique/dp/2… See here the review by Alasdair Urquhart: https://www.academia.edu/2140956/The_Couturat-Russell_Correspondence_edited… Couturat was the creator and promoter of the universal language Ido Here is the wikipedia page about Couturat in Ido https://io.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Couturat With Léopold Léau he wrote "Histoire de la Langue Universelle" https://archive.org/details/histoiredelalang00coutuoft Couturat published the work of Leibniz on logic which was almost unknown and wrote: La logique de Leibniz https://archive.org/details/lalogiquedeleib00coutgoog/page/n4/mode/2up By Anne-Françoise Schmid (together with Oliver Schlaudt) there is the book (also published by Birkhäuser): Louis Couturat: The History of Modern Symbolic Logic and Other French Manuscripts https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-84828-6 Within the project A PRIZE OF LOGIC IN EVERY COUNTRY ! the logic prize for France was named "Louis Couturat Logic Prize" http://www.uni-log.org/logic-prize-world Everybody is welcome to attend the next Logica Universalis Webinar Register here: https://www.springer.com/journal/11787/updates/20065848 Jean-Yves Beziau Organizer of the Logica Universalis Webinar Series Editor Studies in Universal Logic http://www.logica-universalis.org/sul

Call for Participation - LearnAut 2022 - Hybrid ICALP workshop

von Sammartino, Matteo

*Apologies for eventual multiple receptions* The 4th workshop on Learning & Automata - satellite of ICALP’22 https://learnaut22.github.io/ July 4th, 2022, Paris & on-line Location: building Halle aux Farines<https://u-paris.fr/batiment-de-la-halle-aux-farines/> located in the heart of the site “Grands Moulins” of the Université de Paris<https://u-paris.fr/batiment-des-grands-moulins/>. This event will be conducted in hybrid mode: in person in Paris (organizers' preferred choice) and virtually. Registration is mandatory for both modes, the registration links can be found here: https://learnaut22.github.io/registration.html It is our pleasure to inform you about LearnAut 2022, the fourth edition of the workshop, this time co-located with ICALP. 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 14 contributed talks from researchers whose submitted works were selected after a double-blind peer-reviewed phase. A significant amount of time will be kept for interactions between participants. ** Invited Speakers ** * Jeffrey Heinz, Stony Brook University, USA * Sheila McIlraith, University of Toronto, Canada * Ariadna Quattoni, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain ** Selected papers ** * Learning state machines via efficient hashing of future traces, by Robert Baumgartner and Sicco Verwer * Towards Efficient Active Learning of PDFA, by Franz Mayr, Sergio Yovine, Federico Pan, Nicolas Basset and Thao Dang * An Algebraic Approach to Learning and Grounding, by Johanna Björklund, Adam Dahlgren Lindström and Frank Drewes * Spectral Regularization: an Inductive Bias for Sequence Modeling, by Kaiwen Hou and Guillaume Rabusseau * Marginal Inference queries in Hidden Markov Models under context-free grammar constraints, by Mohamed Reda Marzouk and Colin de la Higuera * Robust Attack Graph Generation, by Dennis Mouwen, Sicco Verwer and Azqa Nadeem * Analyzing Büchi Automata with Graph Neural Networks, by Christophe Stammet, Prisca Dotti, Ulrich Ultes-Nitsche and Andreas Fischer * Spectral Initialization of Recurrent Neural Networks: Proof of Concept, by Maude Lizaire, Simon Verret and Guillaume Rabusseau * Sequential Density Estimation via Nonlinear Continuous Weighted Finite Automata, by Tianyu Li, Bogdan Mazoure and Guillaume Rabusseau * Extending Shinohara's Algorithm for Computing Descriptive (Angluin-Style) Patterns to Subsequence Patterns, by Markus L.

von Pierre Ganty

[apologies for multiple copies] The Thirteenth International Symposium on Games, Automata, Logics, and Formal Verification will be held in Madrid (Spain) on September 21-23, 2022. The aim of GandALF 2022 <https://gandalf2022.software.imdea.org/> is to bring together researchers from academia and industry which are actively working in the fields of Games, Automata, Logics, and Formal Verification. The idea is to cover an ample spectrum of themes, ranging from theory to applications, and stimulate cross-fertilization. Papers focused on formal methods are especially welcome. Authors are invited to submit original research or tool papers on all relevant topics in these areas. Papers discussing new ideas that are at an early stage of development are also welcome. The topics covered by the conference include, but are not limited to, the following: - Automata Theory - Automated Deduction - Computational aspects of Game Theory - Concurrency and Distributed computation - Decision Procedures - Deductive, Compositional, and Abstraction Techniques for Verification - Finite Model Theory - First-order and Higher-order Logics - Formal Languages - Formal Methods for Systems Biology, Hybrid, Embedded, and Mobile Systems - Games and Automata for Verification - Game Semantics - Logical aspects of Computational Complexity - Logics of Programs - Modal and Temporal Logics - Model Checking - Models of Reactive and Real-Time Systems - Probabilistic Models (Markov Decision processes) - Program Analysis and Software Verification - Reinforcement Learning - Run-time Verification and Testing - Specification and Verification of Finite and Infinite-state Systems - Synthesis Important Dates Abstract Submission: June 3, 2022 Paper Submission: June 10, 2022 Notification: July 24, 2022 Camera-ready: August 12, 2022 Conference: September 21-23, 2022 ⚠ : submission, Notification and Camera-ready dates are AoE <https://time.is/Anywhere_on_Earth> Publication The proceedings will be published by Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science <http://www.eptcs.org/>. Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit a revised version of their work to a special issue of Logical Methods in Computer Science <https://lmcs.episciences.org/>. The previous editions of GandALF already led to special issues of the International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science (GandALF 2010), Theoretical Computer Science (GandALF 2011 and 2012), Information and Computation (GandALF 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2020), Acta Informatica (GandALF 2015) and Logical Methods in Computer Science (2021). Submission Submitted papers should not exceed 14 pages (excluding references and clearly marked appendices) using EPTCS format (please use the LaTeX style provided here <http://style.eptcs.org>, be unpublished and contain original research.
