****************************************
Workshop dates: 27-28 June 2021 (online)
https://www.cst.cam.ac.uk/conference/structure-meets-power-2021
Scope
-----
There is a remarkable divide in the field of logic in Computer
Science, between two distinct strands: one focusing on semantics
and compositionality (“Structure”), the other on expressiveness
and complexity (“Power”). These two fundamental aspects of our
field are studied using almost disjoint technical languages and
methods, by almost disjoint research communities.
We believe that bridging this divide is a major issue in Computer
Science, and may hold the key to fundamental advances in the
field. The aim this workshop is to attract investigators at the
boundary of the two strands, and those on either side of the
divide interested on establishing new connections.
This workshop is a part of LICS 2021 workshops series.
The even will be held entirely online.

TABLEAUX 2021
The 30th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods
Birmingham, UK, September 6-9, 2021
Website: <https://tableaux2021.org/> https://tableaux2021.org/
***EXTENDED DEADLINES***: 26 April (abstract), 30 April 2021 (paper)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 30th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2021) will be hosted by the University of Birmingham, UK, 6-9 September 2021.
TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research on all aspects -- theoretical foundations, implementation techniques, systems development and applications -- of tableaux-based reasoning and related methods is presented. The first TABLEAUX conference was held in Lautenbach near Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1992. Since then it has been organised on an annual basis (sometimes as a part of IJCAR).
TABLEAUX 2021 will be co-located with the 13th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2021). The conferences will provide a rich programme of workshops, tutorials, invited talks, paper presentations and system descriptions.
SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
Tableaux and other proof based methods offer convenient and flexible tools for automated reasoning for both classical and non-classical logics. Areas of application include verification of software and computer systems, deductive databases, knowledge representation and its required inference engines, teaching, and system diagnosis.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* tableau methods for classical and non-classical logics (including first-order, higher-order, modal, temporal, description, hybrid, intuitionistic, linear, substructural, fuzzy, relevance and non-monotonic logics) and their proof-theoretic foundations;
* sequent, natural deduction, labelled, nested and deep calculi for classical and non-classical logics, as tools for proof search and proof representation;
* related methods (SMT, model elimination, model checking, connection methods, resolution, BDDs, translation approaches);
* flexible, easily extendable, light-weight methods for theorem proving; novel types of calculi for theorem proving and verification in classical and non-classical logics;
* systems, tools, implementations, empirical evaluations and applications (provers, proof assistants, logical frameworks, model checkers, etc.);
* implementation techniques (data structures, efficient algorithms, performance measurement, extensibility, etc.);
* extensions of tableau procedures with conflict-driven learning;
* techniques for proof generation and compact (or humanly readable) proof representation;
* theoretical and practical aspects of decision procedures;
* applications of automated deduction to mathematics, software development, verification, deductive and temporal databases, knowledge representation, ontologies, fault diagnosis or teaching.
We also welcome papers describing applications of tableau procedures to real-world examples. Such papers should be tailored to the TABLEAUX community and should focus on the role of reasoning and on logical aspects of the solution.
INVITED SPEAKERS
TABLEAUX 2021 is pleased to confirm the following the invited speakers:
Orna Kupferman (Hebrew University, Israel)
Revantha Ramanayake (University of Groningen, The Netherlands)
Greg Restall (University of Melbourne, Australia / University of St Andrews, UK)
Renate Schmidt (joint with FroCoS) (University of Manchester, UK)
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submissions are invited in the following two categories:
(A) research papers reporting original theoretical research or applications, with length up to 15 pages excluding references;
(B) system descriptions, with length up to 9 pages excluding references.
There will also be a later call inviting position papers and brief reports on work-in-progress. Details will be kept up to date on the website.
Submissions will be reviewed by the PC, possibly with the help of external reviewers, taking into account readability, relevance and originality. Any additional material (going beyond the page limit) can be included in a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the committee and must be removed for the camera-ready version.
For category (A) submissions, the reported results must be original and not submitted for publication elsewhere. For category (B) submissions, a working implementation must be accessible via the internet. Authors are encouraged to publish the implementation under an open source license. The aim of a system description is to make the system available in such a way that people can use it, understand it, and build on it. Accepted papers in categories (A) and (B) will be published in the conference proceedings.
Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the llncs style and must be submitted electronically as PDF files via the EasyChair system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tableaux21
For all accepted papers at least one author is required to register to the conference and present the paper. A title and a short abstract of about 100 words must be submitted before the paper submission deadline. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files can be obtained at:
http://www.springer.com/br/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui…
IMPORTANT DATES
**Extended abstract submission:** 26 April 2021 (AoE)
**Extended paper submission:** 30 April 2021 (AoE)
Notification: 14 June 2021
Conference: 6-9 September 2021
CONFERENCE FORMAT AND COVID-19
TABLEAUX 2021 and FroCoS 2021 are intended to be *hybrid* conferences welcoming both physical and virtual participation. The organisers are closely monitoring the pandemic situation and may choose to make the conference virtual-only if it seems unreasonable to host any sort of physical event. A final decision will be taken before the notification date 14 June (12 weeks before the conference) to leave ample time for potential travel plans to be made.
PUBLICATION
The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS).
BEST PAPER AWARDS
The program committee will select
* the TABLEAUX 2021 Best Paper; and,
* the TABLEAUX 2021 Best Paper by a Junior Researcher.
Researchers will be considered "junior" if either they are students or their PhD degree date is less than two years from the first day of the meeting. The two awards will be presented at the conference.
TRAVEL GRANTS FOR STUDENTS
Some funding may be available to support students participating at TABLEAUX 2021. More details will be given on the conference website in due time.

Virtual. June 21-23, 2021. <https://www.sscc.fr/SIAS2021/> https://www.sscc.fr/SIAS2021/
SIAS 2021 CFP
The needs of our daily life push forward modern systems to be well connected more user independent, autonomous, and smart. Intelligent and Autonomous Systems (IAS), that support IoT and CPS, facilitate difficult daily tasks in large eras of applications, especially in industry where a large amount of collected data should be efficiently analyzed in order to be optimally exploited. IAS offer a great importance and promising outcomes with a direct impact on a society safety, productivity, and development. The difficulty arises on both sides of either developing new IAS or enhancing the deployed ones with the needed features and capabilities. IAS run on different environments and should follow different standards that make it difficult to ensure IAS requirements. Many solutions were developed in academia and applied by industrial to build a smart and autonomous system. Some of them rely on formal methods and system engineering whereas others look forward on big data and data analysis using mainly artificial intelligence techniques, in addition to other research areas such as networking, security, resiliency, etc. SIAS2021 provides a platform for professionals from academia, government, and industry to discuss how to address the increasing challenges facing IAS.

SPECIAL SESSION: SCREENING OF MOVIES ABOUT MATHEMATICIANS
It is planned to have a special session with the exhibition of a one-hour
documentary film about a remarkable mathematician whose contributions were
recognized with a Fields Medal just a few years before her untimely death.
It is a joint production (still on its course) of The Mathematical Sciences
Research Institute (MSRI) and George Csicsery (Zala Films): ‘Secrets of the
Surface - The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani’. “The biographical
film is about Maryam Mirzakhani, a brilliant woman, and Muslim immigrant to
the United States who became a superstar in her field. The story of her
life will be complemented with sections about Mirzakhani’s mathematical

CiE 2021: Connecting with computability
5 - 9 July 2021
website: www.CiE2021.ugent.be [1]
**Due to the current pandemic CiE 2021 will be held as a virtual
conference.**
CiE 2021 is the seventeenth conference organized by the Association
Computability in Europe. The /Computability in Europe/ conference (CiE)
series has built up a strong tradition for developing a scientific
program which is interdisciplinary at its core bringing together all
aspects of computability and foundations of computer science, as well as
the interplay of these theoretical areas with practical issues in CS and
other disciplines such as biology, mathematics, history, philosophy, and
physics. For more information about the CiE conferences and the
Association CiE, please have a look at: https://www.acie.eu/ [2].
CiE 2021 will be the second CiE conference that is organized as a
virtual event and aims at a high-quality meeting that allows and invites
active participation from all participants. It will be hosted virtually
by Ghent University.
Previous meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006),
Siena (2007), Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta Delgada (2010),
Sofia (2011), Cambridge (2012), Milan (2013), Budapest (2014), Bucharest
(2015), Paris (2016), Turku (2017), Kiel (2018), Durham (2019) and
virtually in Salerno (2020)
INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS:
=========================
Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, in addition to the
formal presentations based on the LNCS proceedings volume, CiE 2021 will
host a track of informal presentations, that are prepared very shortly
before the conference and inform the participants about current research
and work in progress. The Programme Committee cordially invites all
researchers (European and non-European) to submit their abstract for
informal presentations. The abstract will be posted on the CiE 2021
website.
The deadline for the submission of abstracts for informal presentations
is May 15, 2021. Informal presentations should be at most one page long
and sent in .pdf format. Authors should submit their abstracts
electronically using EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cie2021 [3]
Notification can be expected a few days after the submission deadline
