*** We apologize for possible cross posting *** *********** CALL FOR PAPER (EXTENSION) *********** OVERLAY 2023 6th - 9th November, 2023 (the precise day(s) will be announced later) Rome, Italy https://overlay.uniud.it/workshop/2023 Co-located with AIxIA 2023 http://www.aixia2023.cnr.it/ *********** *********** *********** The increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence techniques in safety-critical systems, employed in real world scenarios, requires the design of reliable, robust, and verifiable methodologies. Artificial Intelligence systems employed in such applications need to provide formal guarantees about their safety, increasing the need for a close interaction between the Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods scientific communities, and possibly leading to the proposal of novel neurosymbolic approaches. To witness this increasing need, tools and methodologies integrating Formal Methods and Artificial Intelligence, and more broadly symbolic and sub-symbolic solutions, are getting more and more attention, especially considering the wide-range and pervasive applications of machine and deep learning models. The workshop is the main official initiative supported by the OVERLAY group (https://overlay.uniud.it). The event aims at establishing a stable, long-term scientific forum on relevant topics connected to the relationships between Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods, by providing a stimulating environment where researchers can discuss opportunities and challenges at the border of the two areas. Important goals of the workshop are (i) to encourage the ongoing interaction between the formal methods and artificial intelligence communities, (ii) to identify innovative tools and methodologies, and (iii) to elicit a discussion on open issues and new challenges. This year edition will be held between 6th and 9th November 2023 (the precise day(s) will be announced later), as a hybrid workshop co-located with AIxIA 2023 (http://www.aixia2023.cnr.it/), which is scheduled to be held in Rome, Italy. Participants must be registered to AIxIA 2023 (http://www.aixia2023.cnr.it/). Overlay does not have an additional specific fee. *** Invited speaker *** Luciano Serafini - Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Italy *** Call for contributions *** We accept extended abstracts (4 pages + references) focusing on the interaction between Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods and on the issue of symbolic/sub-symbolic integration. Invited talks will complement the presentations of contributed papers. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): automata theory automated reasoning automated planning and scheduling controller synthesis formal specification languages formal verification game theory hybrid and discrete systems logics in computer science neurosymbolic approaches logic for neural networks neural networks for logic reactive synthesis runtime verification and monitoring satisfiability modulo theories and theorem proving specification and verification of machine/deep learning systems tools and applications Contributed papers can present recent results at the border of the two fields, new research directions, challenges and perspectives. Presentation of results recently published in other scientific journals or conferences is also welcome. We plan to include all papers in the Proceedings of the event, published at CEUR Workshop Proceedings. CEUR WS proceedings are archival proceedings indexed by DBLP and Scopus. Submitted papers should not exceed four (4) pages plus references. Authors are asked to use CEUR's LaTeX style, available at https://overlay.uniud.it/workshop/2023/CEURART.zip. Submissions must be in PDF format and will be handled via the EasyChair Conference system at the following address: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=overlay2023. *** Important dates *** - Paper submission: September 8th, 2023 September 22nd, 2023 - Acceptance notification: September 22nd, 2023 October 4th, 2023 - Camera-ready submission: October 15th, 2023 - Workshop: between 6th and 9th November, 2023 (the precise day(s) will be announced later) *** Program Committee *** Chairs Andrea Brunello - University of Udine, Italy Alessandro Gianola - Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy Fabio Mogavero - University of Napoli Federico II, Italy PC Members Dylan Bellier - University of Rennes, France Massimo Benerecetti - University of Napoli Federico II, Italy Laura Bozzelli - University of Napoli Federico II, Italy Daniele Dell'Erba - University of Liverpool, UK Dario Della Monica - University of Udine, Italy Marco Faella - University of Napoli Federico II, Italy Luca Geatti - University of Udine, Italy Silvio Ghilardi - Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Nicola Gigante - Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy Inês Lynce - INESC-ID / Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal Andrea Mazzullo - University of Trento, Italy Andrea Micheli - Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy Andrea Orlandini - ISTC-CNR, Rome, Italy Matteo Papini - Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain Gian Luca Pozzato - University of Turin, Italy Guido Sciavicco - University of Ferrara, Italy Ionel Eduard Stan - Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy Cesare Tinelli - The University of Iowa, USA Tiziano Villa - University of Verona, Italy Matteo Zavatteri - University of Padova, Italy *** Contacts *** For more information email overlay2023@easychair.org<mailto:overlay2023@easychair.org>
