[APOLOGIES FOR MULTIPLE POSTINGS] * ______________________________________________________________________ * The RCRA group (Knowledge Representation & Automated Reasoning) of the AI*IA (Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence) organizes the 29th RCRA workshop on Experimental evaluation of algorithms for solving problems with combinatorial explosion (RCRA 2022) affiliated to the 16th International Conference on Logic Programming and Non-monotonic Reasoning (LPNMR 2022) https://sites.google.com/view/lpnmr2022 September, 5th, 2022; Genova, Italy RCRA group web site:http://rcra.aixia.it/ Workshop web site: TBA e-mail:marco@dibris.unige.it,M.Vallati@hud.ac.uk * ______________________________________________________________________ * This event follows the series of the RCRA (Knowledge Representation and Automated Reasoning) annual meetings, held since 1994. The success of the previous events shows that RCRA is becoming a major forum for exchanging ideas and proposing experimentation methodologies for algorithms in Artificial Intelligence. * ______________________________________________________________________ * IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: July 10th, 2022 Notification of acceptance: August 1st, 2022 Final version of accepted original papers: August 22nd, 2022 RCRA workshop: September 5th, 2022 AIMS AND SCOPE Many problems in Artificial Intelligence show an exponential explosion of the search space. Although stemming from different research areas in AI, such problems are often addressed with algorithms that have a common goal: the effective exploration of huge state spaces. Many algorithms developed in one research area are applicable to other problems, or can be hybridized with techniques in other areas. Artificial Intelligence tools often exploit or hybridize techniques developed by other research communities, such as Operations Research. In recent years, research in Artificial Intelligence has more and more focused on experimental evaluation of algorithms, the development of suitable methodologies for experimentation and analysis, the study of languages and the implementation of systems for the definition and solution of problems. Scope of the workshop is fostering the cross-fertilization of ideas stemming from different areas, proposing benchmarks for new challenging problems, comparing models and algorithms from an experimental viewpoint, and, in general, comparing different approaches with respect to efficiency, problem modeling, and ease of development. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Experimental evaluation of algorithms for o knowledge representation o automated reasoning o planning o scheduling o machine learning o model checking o boolean satisfiability (SAT) o constraint programming o argumentation o temporal reasoning o combinatorial optimization o quantified boolean formulae and quantified constraints o modal logics o logic programming o answer set programming o ontological reasoning * Definition and construction of benchmarks * Experimentation methodologies * Metaheuristics * Algorithm hybridization * Static analysis of combinatorial problems * Languages and systems for definition and solution of problems * Comparisons between systems and algorithms * Application experiences (visualization, graphics, security, transports,...) WORKSHOP CHAIRS Marco Maratea University of Genova, Italy Mauro Vallati University of Huddersfield, UK HOST ORGANIZATION AND VENUE University of Genova, Italy The workshop will take place in Genova Nervi, Italy, in the Collegio Emiliani (http://www.collegioemiliani.it/) which is a college directly situated on the see. Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely on-line. SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit either original and non-original papers. Publications showing negative results are welcome, provided that the approach was original and very promising in principle, the experimentation was well-conducted, the results obtained were unforeseeable and gave important hints in the comprehension of the target problem, helping other researchers to avoid unsuccessful paths.

Datalog 2.0 2022 - Third Call for Papers
by cfp 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. Please distribute to interested parties.] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS 4th International Workshop on the Resurgence of Datalog in Academia and Industry Datalog 2.0 2022 https://tinyurl.com/datalog20-22 September 5, 2022, Genova - Nervi, Italy Workshop of LPNMR 2022 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE Datalog 2.0 is a workshop for Datalog researchers, implementors, and users. Its aim is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in different aspects of Datalog to share research experiences, promote collaboration and identify directions for joint future research. The 4th International Workshop on the Resurgence of Datalog in Academia and Industry (Datalog 2.0 2022) will be held in Genova, Italy, on September 5, 2022. Datalog 2.0 2022 is a workshop of the 16th International Conference on Logic Programming and Non-monotonic Reasoning (LPNMR 2022). The first edition of Datalog 2.0 was held in Oxford, UK, in 2010, and it was by invitation only. Since Datalog has resurrected as a lively topic with applications in many different areas of computer science, as well as industry, the second and the third edition of the workshop, which were held in Vienna in 2012 and in Philadelphia in 2019, respectively, were open for submissions. INVITED SPEAKER Reinhard Pichler, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Title: Novel Techniques in Datalog Optimization Abstract: Datalog has been specifically designed for processing recursive queries. As such it seems the perfect fit for today's data analytics applications, which typically require some kind of iteration or recursion. However, basic analytical tasks such as computing shortest paths, betweenness centrality, or connected components in a graph as well as solving optimization problems by gradient descent or other methods crucially depend on aggregation. For Datalog, this poses new challenges due to the loss of the usual monotonicity properties in case of aggregation. In this talk, I will present recent work in which *) we have studied a generalization of Datalog that allows for recursive computations over general semirings (with classical Datalog corresponding to the special case of the Boolean semiring), *) we have analyzed the convergence of this generalization of Datalog, and *) we have introduced a powerful new optimization technique that covers known optimizations such as magic-set rewriting as well as new ones. This talk is mainly based on the following papers: [1] Mahmoud Abo Khamis, Hung Q. Ngo, Reinhard Pichler, Dan Suciu, Yisu Remy Wang: Convergence of Datalog over (Pre-) Semirings. PODS 2022. [2] Yisu Remy Wang, Mahmoud Abo Khamis, Hung Q. Ngo, Reinhard Pichler, Dan Suciu: Optimizing Recursive Queries with Progam Synthesis. SIGMOD Conference 2022. TOPICS Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research on the foundational aspects of Datalog, as well as on its applications in other areas of computer science and in industry. Potential areas of application of Datalog may include (among others): data management, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning, cloud computing, distributed computing, logic programming, privacy and security, probabilistic reasoning, program analysis, programming languages, semantic web, social networks, streaming, verification, web services. SUBMISSION Datalog 2.0 2022 welcomes two types of submissions * Long papers of up to 12 pages, presenting original research * Short papers of up to 5 pages that may contain either original ongoing research or recently published results in the following categories * Technical papers * System descriptions * Application descriptions The indicated number of pages includes title page and references. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be submitted for publication in the CEUR Workshop proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org) Authors can opt-out if desired. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop to present the work. Submissions must be written in English, and formatted according to Springer's guidelines and technical instructions available at: https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/conference-proceedings/conferen… Paper submission is enabled via the Datalog 2.0 2022 EasyChair site:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=datalog20-22 Up to five best regular papers will be invited for rapid publication in the journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP).

Genova is the capital of Liguria, stretching along the bay of the same name from Nervi to the east as far as Voltri to the west. Genova’s old town district (reachable by local train, by bus, as well as by boat) is one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of Genoa, 7 km east of central Genova. Two of the most important tourist attractions of Genoa are in Nervi: the sea promenade, a 2 km walkway along the cliffs, and the "Parchi di Nervi". The sea promenade is famous for the stunning views that make it one of Italy's most beautiful promenades. While the "Parchi di Nervi" is a park of about 22 acres (9 hectares) created from the gardens of the Villa Grimaldi, Villa Groppallo, and Villa Serra. It has typical Mediterranean plant species and many exotic species and the entrance is just at the end of the promenade. In addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points, sea promenades, aristocratic villas, and of course the Riviera to the east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west.
