Workshop on Advances in Separation Logics (ASL 2022 @ FLOC 2022)

von RADU IOSIF

Workshop on Advances in Separation Logics (ASL 2022), Haifa, Israel, July 31st 2022 https://asl-workshop.github.io/asl22/ The past two decades have witnessed important progress in static analysis and verification of code with low-level pointer and heap manipulations, mainly due to the development of Separation Logic (SL). SL is a resource logic, a dialect of the logic of Bunched Implications (BI) designed to describe models of the heap memory and the mutations that occur in the heap as the result of low-level pointer updates. The success of SL in program analysis is due to the support for local reasoning, namely the ability of describing only the resource(s) being modified, instead of the entire state of the system. This enables the design of compositional analyses that synthesize specifications of the behavior of small parts of the program before combining such local specifications into global verification conditions. Another interesting line of work consists in finding alternatives to the underlying semantic domain of SL, namely heaps with aggregative composition, in order to address other fields in computing, such as self-adapting distributed networks, blockchain and population protocols, social networks or biological systems. We consider submissions on topics including: * decision procedures for SL and other resource logics, * computational complexity of decision problems such as satisfiability, entailment and abduction for SL and other resource logics, * axiomatisations and proof systems for automated or interactive theorem proving for SL and other resource logics, * verification conditions for real-life interprocedural and concurrent programs, using SL and other resource logics, * alternative semantics and computation models based on the notion of resource, * application of separation and resource logics to different fields, such as sociology and biology. ASL 2022 is a workshop affiliated to IJCAR 2022 at FLOC 2022. Keynote Speakers * Philippa Gardner, Imperial College London * Ralf Jung, MIT CSAIL Important Dates * Papers due: May 10, 2022 (AoE) * Authors notification: June 15, 2022 (AoE) * Workshop: July 31, 2022 Program Committee Nadia Polikarpova (UCSD, San Diego, USA) James Brotherston (UCL, London, UK) Qinxiang Cao (Shanghai Jiaotong University) Dan Frumin (University of Groningen, The Netherlands) Lennart Beringer (Princeton University, USA) Arthur Charguéraud (INRIA Strasbourg, France) Radu Iosif (Verimag, CNRS, Univ.

Learning and Automata (LearnAut) 2022 -- ICALP 2022 Workshop, second CFP

von Tobias Kappé

Learning and Automata (LearnAut) -- ICALP 2022 workshop July 4th - Paris, France and virtually Website: https://learnaut22.github.io 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. We invite submissions of recent work, including preliminary research, related to the theme of the workshop. The Program Committee will select a subset of the abstracts for oral presentation. At least one author of each accepted abstract is expected to represent it at the workshop (in person, or virtually). Note that accepted papers will be made available on the workshop website but will not be part of formal proceedings (i.e., LearnAut is a non-archival workshop). Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Computational complexity of learning problems involving automata and formal languages. - Algorithms and frameworks for learning models representing language classes inside and outside the Chomsky hierarchy, including tree and graph grammars. - Learning problems involving models with additional structure, including numeric weights, inputs/outputs such as transducers, register automata, timed automata, Markov reward and decision processes, and semi-hidden Markov models. - Logical and relational aspects of learning and grammatical inference. - Theoretical studies of learnable classes of languages/representations. - Relations between automata or any other models from language theory and deep learning models for sequential data. - Active learning of finite state machines and formal languages. - Methods for estimating probability distributions over strings, trees, graphs, or any data used as input for symbolic models. - Applications of learning to formal verification and (statistical) model checking. - Metrics and other error measures between automata or formal languages. ** Invited speakers ** Jeffrey Heinz (Stony Brook University) Sheila McIlraith (University of Toronto) Ariadna Quattoni (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) ** Submission instructions ** Submissions in the form of extended abstracts must be at most 8 single-column pages long at most (plus at most four for bibliography and possible appendixes) and must be submitted in the JMLR/PMLR format. The LaTeX style file is available here: https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/jmlr We do accept submissions of work recently published or currently under review. - Submission url: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=learnaut2022 - Submission deadline: March 31st - Notification of acceptance: April 30th - Early registration: TBD ** Program Committee ** - Dana Angluin (Yale University) - Leonor Becerra-Bonache (Jean Monnet University, Saint-Étienne) - Jorge Castro (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) - Dana Fisman (Ben-Gurion University) - Matthias Gallé (Naver Labs Europe) - Gerco van Heerdt (University College London) - Colin de la Higuera (University of Nantes) - Falk Howar (TU Dortmund) - Nils Jansen (Radboud University) - Joshua Moerman (Open University of the Netherlands) - Ariadna Quattoni (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) - Bernhard Steffen (TU Dortmund) - Henning Urbat (Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg) - Frits Vaandrager (Radboud University) - Ryo Yoshinaka (Tohoku University) ** Organizers ** Rémi Eyraud (Jean Monnet University, Saint-Étienne) Tobias Kappé (ILLC, University of Amsterdam) Guillaume Rabusseau (Mila & DIRO, Université de Montréal) Matteo Sammartino (Royal Holloway, University of London & University College London)

DaLí 2022 - Call for Papers

von Carlos Areces

DaLí 2022 - Call for Papers http://dali2022.campus.ciencias.ulisboa.pt ***Important Dates*** - Abstract submission deadline: 03 May 2022 - Full paper submission deadline: 10 May 2022 - Author notifications: 15 June 2022 ************ ****Overview***** Dynamic logic (DL), a generalisation of the logic of Floyd-Hoare introduced in the 70s by Pratt, is a well-known and particularly powerful way of combining propositions, for capturing static properties of program states, and structured actions, responsible for transitions from a state to another (and typically combined through a Kleene algebra to express sequential, non-deterministic, iterative behaviour of systems), into a formal framework to reason about, and verify, classic imperative programs. Over time Dynamic logic grew to encompass a family of logics increasingly popular in the verification of computational systems, and able to evolve and adapt to new, and complex validation challenges. In particular, the dynamic logic community is interested in the study of operators that can modify the structure in which they are being evaluated. Examples include dynamic logics tailored to specific programming problems or paradigms (e.g., separation logics to model the evolution of a program heap); languages to reason and represent evolving information (e.g., dynamic epistemic logics); and formalism that aim to model new computing domains, including probabilistic, continuous and quantum computation. Dynamic logic is not only theoretically relevant, but it also shows enormous practical potential and it is indeed a topic of interest in several scientific venues, from wide-scope software engineering conferences to modal logic specific events. That being said, DaLí is the only event exclusively dedicated to this topic. It is our aim to once again bring together in a single place the heterogeneous community of colleagues which share an interest in Dynamic logic - from Academia to Industry, from Mathematics to Computer Science, - to promote their works, to foster great discussions and new collaborations. Previous editions of DaLí took place in Brasília (2017) and Porto (2019), and an online edition (2020). ****List of Topics**** Submissions are invited on the general field of dynamic logic, its variants and applications, including, but not restricted to: - Dynamic logic, foundations and applications - Logics with regular modalities - Modal/temporal/epistemic logics - Kleene and action algebras and their variants - Quantum dynamic logic - Coalgebraic modal/dynamic logics - Graded and fuzzy dynamic logics - Dynamic logics for cyber-physical systems - Dynamic epistemic logic - Complexity and decidability of variants of dynamic logics and temporal logics - Model checking, model generation and theorem proving for dynamic logics ****Submission and Proceedings**** Submissions of original papers (unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere), up to 15 pages in LNCS style, are invited through https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=dal2022 A post-proceedings volume and a special issue of a journal are planned. ****Invited Speakers**** TBA ****Program Committee Chairs**** Carlos Areces (FaMAF, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, AR) Diana Costa (LASIGE, FCUL, University of Lisbon, PT) ****Program Commitee**** Thomas Ågotnes (U.

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 ARTIFACT EVALUATION This year, FORMATS is encouraging authors to submit artifacts where appropriate, for example to demonstrate how to reproduce experimental data in a research paper or to examine the usability and applicability of a software tool. Artifacts will be submitted and evaluated only for papers accepted for publication. These will be evaluated by the Artifact Evaluation Committee and those that are accepted will receive a repeatability badge to be displayed on the first page of the published version. For more details, see: https://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/formats2022/artifactevaluation/ PUBLICATION AND BEST PAPER AWARD The proceedings of FORMATS 2022 will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The best paper of the conference will be awarded the Oded Maler Award in Timed Systems. IMPORTANT DATES • Abstract submission: 19 April 2022 • Paper submission: 22 April 2022 • Acceptance notification: 17 June 2022 • Artifact submission deadline: 24 June 2022 • Camera-ready copy deadline: 15 July 2022 • Conference: 12-17 September 2022 CONFEST 2022, which includes FORMATS 2022, is currently planned as a physical, in-person event with support for remote presence for speakers and participants. Depending on the pandemic situation, a decision whether to cancel the physical component of CONFEST or not will be made by the end of June 2022.
