Multiple postdoc openings in Algorithmic Verification at MPI-SWS

von Joël Ouaknine

The Foundations of Algorithmic Verification group at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems in Saarbruecken, Germany, headed by Joel Ouaknine, has several open postdoc positions in the area of algorithmic verification and analysis of dynamical systems. The overall goal of the project is to develop techniques to solve fundamental computational problems arising in the verification of discrete and continuous linear dynamical systems, including Markov chains, linear recurrence sequences, linear while loops, linear differential equations, hybrid systems, and infinite-state systems. You will develop algorithms to solve reachability, termination, and synthesis problems for these models by combining a range of computational techniques, including results from number theory (particularly lower bounds in Diophantine approximation). In cases where algorithms cannot be obtained, you will seek reductions from known "hard" problems. The project aims to build on, and significantly develop, recent progress at MPI-SWS and Oxford in solving long-standing open problems in this area. You should have a PhD (or be close to completion) in a relevant area of computer science, mathematics, or a related discipline, together with a documented track record of the ability to conduct and complete research projects in automated verification, automata theory, dynamical systems, or algorithmic algebra and number theory. To apply, please send CV and short statement of purpose to Joel Ouaknine <joel(a)mpi-sws.org>, with Annika Meiser <ameiser(a)mpi-sws.org> in cc, before the closing date of ***22 April 2019***. Informal inquiries of course very welcome. -- *Joël Ouaknine* Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, Saarland Informatics Campus, Germany Department of Computer Science, Oxford University, UK http://mpi-sws.org/~joel/ <http://people.mpi-sws.org/~joel/>

Learning and Automata (LearnAut) 2019 Second Call for Papers -- LICS 2019 Workshop

von Matteo Sammartino

Learning and Automata (LearnAut) -- LICS 2019 workshop June 23rd - Vancouver, Canada Website: https://learnaut19.github.io SUBMISSION DEADLINE March 30th 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, spanning the communities that the Logic in Computer Science (LICS) conference brings together. Historically, there has been little interaction between the GI and LICS 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. Similarly to how main machine learning conferences and workshops are organized, all accepted abstracts will be part of a poster session held during the workshop. Additionally, 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. Note that participation to the poster session is on a voluntary basis for papers selected for oral presentation. High-quality submissions will be strongly encouraged to submit an extended version to an upcoming special issue of the Machine Learning Journal. 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 and recurrent neural networks. - 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 ** Lise Getoor (UC Santa Cruz) Prakash Panangaden (McGill University) Nils Jansen (Radboud University) Dana Fisman (Ben-Gurion University) ** 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=learnaut2019 - Submission deadline: March 30th - Notification of acceptance: April 25th - Registration: TBD ** Program Committee ** Dana Angluin (Yale University) Borja Balle (Amazon Research Cambridge) Leonor Becerra-Bonache (Université de Saint-Etienne) Alexander Clark (King’s College London) François Denis (Aix-Marseille Université) Kousha Etessami (University of Edinburgh) Dana Fisman (Ben-Gurion University) Matthias Gallé (Naver Labs Europe) Colin de la Higuera (Nantes University) Falk Howar (TU Clausthal) Makoto Kanazawa (Hosei University) Ariadna Quattoni (Naver Labs Europe) Alexandra Silva (University College London) Frits Vaandrager (Radboud University) ** Organizers ** Remi Eyraud (Aix-Marseille Université) Tobias Kappé (University College London) Guillaume Rabusseau (Université de Montréal / Mila) Matteo Sammartino (University College London)

Second Dali Workshop: First Call for Papers

von Renato Neves

Dynamic Logic: New Trends and Applications workshop.dali.di.uminho.pt First Call for Papers Porto, 9 October, 2019 (part of the 3rd World Congress on Formal Methods 2019) OVERVIEW Building on the pioneer intuitions of Floyd-Hoare logic, dynamic logic was introduced in the 70's as a suitable logic to reason about, and verify, classic imperative programs. Since then, the original intuitions grew to an entire family of logics, which became increasingly popular for assertional reasoning about a wide range of computational systems. Simultaneously, their object (i.e. the very notion of a program) evolved in unexpected ways. This lead to dynamic logics tailored to specific programming paradigms and extended to new computing domains, including probabilistic, continuous and quantum computation. Both its theoretical relevance and practical potential make dynamic logic a topic of interest in a number of scientific venues, from wide-scope software engineering conferences to modal logic specific events. However, no specific event is exclusively dedicated to it. This workshop aims at filling fill such a gap, joining an heterogeneous community of colleagues, from Academia to Industry, from Mathematics to Computer Science. Support: PT-FLAD Chair & DaLi - POCI-01-0145-FEDER-016692 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 PUBLICATION Original papers (unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere), up to 15 pages in LNCS style.
