Sister Conferences and Journal Presentation Track: This track provides a forum to discuss important results related to logic programming that appeared recently (from January 2017 onwards) in selective journals and conferences but have not been previously presented at ICLP. Special Session: Women in Logic Programming: This special session will include invited talks and presentations by women in logic programming. Research Challenges in Logic Programming Track: This track invites submissions of papers describing research challenges that an individual researcher or a research group is currently attacking. The goal of the track is to promote discussions, exchange of ideas, and possibly stimulate new collaborations. Papers submitted to this track do not go through the usual review and will not be published in the proceedings – they will be distributed at the conference as a technical report. Every of the above four tracks will have its own dedicated chairs, PC, evaluation criteria, and CFP with related submission details (see the specific call for papers). In addition to the presentations of accepted papers, the technical program will include invited talks, advanced tutorials, the doctoral consortium, and several workshops. *Submission Details* ================= All submissions must be made via the EasyChair conference system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iclp20200 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iclp20200>. Regular papers must be in the condensed TPLP format (template here) and not exceed 14 pages including bibliography. Regular papers may be supplemented with appendices for proofs and details of datasets which do not count towards the page limit and which will not be made available as appendices to the published paper. Three kinds of regular papers will be accepted: • Technical papers for technically sound, innovative ideas that can advance the state of logic programming; • Application papers that impact interesting application domains; • System and tool papers which emphasize novelty, practicality, usability, and availability of the systems and tools described. Application, system, and tool papers need to be clearly marked in their title. All submissions must be written in English and describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to previously accepted workshop papers with a limited audience and/or without archival proceedings. Papers of the highest quality will be selected to be published in the journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP), Cambridge University Press (CUP). In order to ensure the quality of the final version, papers may be subject to more than one round of refereeing (within the decision period). The program committee may recommend some regular papers to be published as Technical communications in EPTCS format (http://info.eptcs.org <http://info.eptcs.org/>). Technical communications must not exceed 14 pages, including the bibliography. The authors of the technical communications can also elect to convert their submissions into extended abstracts, of 2 or 3 pages, for inclusion in the EPTCS proceedings. This should allow authors to submit a long version elsewhere. All regular papers and technical communications will be presented during the conference. So, at least one author per accepted paper is expected to register and attend the conference. Authors of accepted papers will, by default, be automatically included in the list of ALP members, who will receive quarterly updates from the Logic Programming Newsletter at no cost. -- -- *Dona il 5x1000* all'Università degli Studi di Sassaricodice fiscale: 00196350904

Call for papers - SR 2020, Santiago de Compostela

von Bastien

Apologies for multiple reception of this message. ******************************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS 8TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON STRATEGIC REASONING (SR 2020) Satellite workshop of ECAI 2020, Santiago de Compostela, Spain, June 8, 2020 ******************************************************************************* Strategic reasoning is a key topic in multi-agent systems research. The extensive literature in the field includes a variety of logics used for modeling strategic ability. Results from the field are now being used in many exciting domains such as information system security, adaptive strategies for robot teams, and automatic players capable to outperform human experts. A common feature in all these application domains is the requirement for sound theoretical foundations and tools accounting for the strategies that artificial agents may adopt in the situation of conflict and cooperation. The SR international workshop series aims at bringing together researchers working on different aspects of strategic reasoning in computer science, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. SR 2020 will be held with ECAI 2020 in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. TOPICS OF INTEREST: The topics covered by SR include, but are not limited to, the following: - Logics for reasoning about strategic abilities; - Logics for multi-agent mechanism design, verification, and synthesis; - Logical foundations of decision theory for multi-agent systems; - Strategic reasoning in formal verification; - Automata theory for strategy synthesis; - Strategic reasoning under perfect and imperfect information; - Applications and tools for cooperative and adversarial reasoning; - Robust planning and optimisation in multi-agent systems; - Risk and uncertainty in multi-agent systems; - Quantitative aspects in strategic reasoning. SUBMISSIONS: We invite three types of submissions: (A) original contributions, (B) published work, and (C) challenging open problems. Each submission should be clearly identified as belonging to one of these three categories. In all three categories, submissions will be evaluated by the usual high standards of research publications. In particular, they should contain enough detail to allow the program committee to identify the main contribution of the work, to explain its significance, its novelty, its relevance to the strategic-reasoning audience, and its practical or theoretical implications, and include comparisons with and references to relevant literature. Strong preference will be given to contributions on topics of interest to a broad, interdisciplinary audience and all papers should be written so that they are accessible to such an audience. Submissions should be in PDF, preferably using the EPTCS style (http://style.eptcs.org), and not exceed 12 pages (not including bibliography). Authors are invited to submit their manuscript via EasyChair. Submission webpage: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sr20200 IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission: March 13, 2020 (AoE) Authors notification: April 15, 2020 Camera-ready deadline: May 15, 2020 Workshop: June 8, 2020 ORGANIZERS: Bastien Maubert, University of Naples "Federico II" (bastien.maubert(a)gmail.com) Nir Piterman, University of Gothenburg (nir.piterman(a)gmail.com) WEBSITE: http://bastien-maubert.fr/sr2020/

Graphical Models for Security (GraMSec 2020) - Deadline extended until May 4

von Barbara Fila (Kordy)

*The GraMSec submission deadline is extended to Monday, May 4.* Please find below the full CFP. ====================================================================== GraMSec 2020: The Seventh International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security http://gramsec.uni.lu June 22, 2020 *Online event* Co-located with CSF 2020 *LNCS post-proceedings confirmed* SCOPE The use of graphical security models to represent and analyse the security of systems has gained an increasing research attention over the last two decades. Formal methods and computer security researchers, as well as security professionals from the industry and government, have proposed various graphical security models, metrics, and measurements. Graphical models are used to capture different security facets and address a range of challenges including security assessment, automated defence, secure services composition, security policy validation, and verification. The International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security is an established scientific event dedicated to study and exchange of experiences on graphical security and safety modelling. TOPICS This year, we encourage excellent submissions related, but not restricted, to the following broad headings: 1. Graph representations: mathematical, conceptual, and implemented tools for describing and reasoning about security and safety 2. Logical approaches: formal logical tools for representing and reasoning about graphs and their use as modelling tools in security 3. Machine learning: modelling and reasoning about the role of big data and machine learning in security operations 4. Networks in national security: terrorist networks, counter-terrorism networks; safety in national infrastructure (e.g., utilities and transportation) 5. Risk analysis and management: models and graphical methodologies for security and privacy risk management in business and organisational architectures 6. Social networks: using and reasoning about social graphs, network analysis, network protocols, social mapping, sociometry. 7. Semantics: developing or studying semantic approaches to graph-based models used in security like set theoretic models, categorical models, logical models, etc. 8. Threat modelling: modelling and analysing software systems security, models for DevSecOps, etc. 9. Security requirements: models and tools for describing and analysing requirements on system security and privacy. 10. Visual security: modelling and analytics for security visualisations. 11. Secure systems: safe and secure system design, quantification of security/safety, models for system security/safety evaluation. We welcome a broad range of contributions: from theory to tools and experience reports. Preference will be given to papers likely to stimulate high-quality debate at the Workshop. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We solicit two types of submissions: - Regular papers (up to 18 pages, excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices) describing original and unpublished work within the scope of the workshop. - Short papers (up to 10 pages, excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices) describing original and unpublished work in progress. The reviewers are not required to read the appendices, so the papers should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be prepared using the LNCS style. Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. Submissions should be made using the GraMSec 2020 EasyChair website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gramsec2020. PUBLICATION As in previous editions, we the post-proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, published by Springer. Proceedings will be published after the workshop, thus permitting the authors to incorporate feedback. VENUE Due to the current coronavirus outbreak, the IEEE CSF Symposium and its associated workshops, including GraMSec, will be held online this year. Details about registration and participation will be soon made available. IMPORTANT DATES Given the situation and the fact that the workshop will be held online, we will keep only one submission deadline. - Paper submissions due: Monday, May 4, 2020 - Notifications: Friday, May 29, 2020 - Workshop: Monday, June 22, 2020 - Camera ready versions due: Friday, August 7, 2020 PROGRAM CHAIRS Harley Eades III, Augusta University, United States of America Olga Gadyatskaya, Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science, Leiden University, The Netherlands STEERING COMMITTEE Sushil Jajodia, George Mason University, United States of America Barbara Fila, INSA Rennes, IRISA, France Sjouke Mauw, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Christian W.
