Call for Contributions LPNMR Doctoral Consortium 2022 Genova, Italy September 5-8, 2022 https://sites.google.com/view/lpnmr2022/doctoral-consortium Topic and Objective ******************* The LPNMR Doctoral Consortium (DC) is to be held as part of the 16th International Conference on Logic Programming and Non-monotonic Reasoning (LPNMR 2022) in Genova, Italy, September 5-8, 2022. The DC provides a forum for doctoral students working in all areas related to logic programming and non-monotonic reasoning. The DC gives students the opportunity to present and discuss their research and to obtain feedback from peers as well as world-renowned experts in a supportive environment. The 16th International Conference on Logic Programming and Non-monotonic Reasoning (LPNMR) is a forum for exchanging ideas on declarative logic programming, non-monotonic reasoning, and knowledge representation. The aim of the conference is to facilitate interactions between researchers and practitioners interested in the design, implementation and application of logic-based programming languages and database systems, and those who work in the area of knowledge representation and non-monotonic reasoning. During the DC, there will be significant time for students to present their work, and meet mentors from their own and closely related fields. Target Audience *************** The DC is designed for students currently enrolled in a PhD program, though we are also open to exceptions (e.g., students currently in a masters program and interested in doctoral studies). Students at any stage in their doctoral studies are encouraged to apply for participation in the DC, but preference will be given to students who have settled on a research topic or direction but still have some way to go in their studies. Applicants are expected to conduct research in areas related to logic and constraint programming; topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Theoretical Foundations of LPNMR systems, including semantics of new or existing languages, new language extensions, and computational complexity - Implementation of LPNMR systems, including new systems and algorithms - Applications of LPNMR The DC allows participants to interact with established researchers and fellow students, through presentations, a poster session, question-answer sessions and social interactions. The Doctoral Consortium will provide the possibility to reflect - through short activities, information sessions, and discussions - on the process and lessons of research and life in academia. Each participant will give a short, critiqued research presentation, present a poster at the main event and attend a lunch in small groups with their mentor/senior researcher. Application Process ******************* Students at both the PhD and late stage masters level are encouraged to apply. However, preference will be given to students in PhD programs. Submissions will be selected based on the assessment of the organizing committee. We will give preference to students who have settled on a research topic or direction but still have some way to go in their studies. Applications to the LPNMR DC should consist of: 1. Cover Sheet: This is a one-page information sheet which should include: - Your full name, gender, contact details, official affiliation, and home page (if any); - Your expected graduation date and the number of years in your current program; - Your thesis advisor's full name and contact details; - A list of up to 5 people within the LPNMR community you feel would be good mentors or are people you want to talk to; - A list of up to 5 keywords that you would use to describe your research. 2. Extended Abstract: This should be a thesis summary, no longer than 6 pages (including references) formatted according to Springer's guidelines and technical instructions available at: https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/conference-proceedings/conferen… Please give a brief background for your thesis research, explain the central questions of your research and the work you have accomplished so far. Be sure to clearly describe your work (e.g., what you have done and what you plan to work on), while emphasizing the contributions and their significance. This should not be a reduced version of a single paper, but be about your dissertation. Please use the first person where appropriate. 3. Vita: A CV not to exceeded 3 pages that includes your background and a brief statement of your research interests; relevant experience in research, education, or employment; and any publications (accepted or pending) for conferences or journals. 4. Advisor/Supervisor Statement: A signed supporting statement from your advisor or supervisor explaining why she/he thinks it is a good idea for you to participate in this event. Please submit all application materials as one PDF per e-mail to DC organization chair: Martin Gebser University of Klagenfurt martin.gebser(a)aau.at Applications will be reviewed based on several criteria including the quality of the work submitted, stage of research, evidence of research progress, the committee's assessment of the student's contribution to and benefit from participating in the DC, and input from the student's advisor. Details regarding publication of extended abstracts and financial support will be published on the DC website at a later date.

POPL 2023 Call for Papers -- deadline Thursday, July 7th, AoE
by Kristopher K Micinski 19 Jun '22

19 Jun '22

POPL 2023 Call for Papers (https://popl23.sigplan.org/) PACMPL Issue POPL 2023 seeks contributions on all aspects of programming languages and programming systems, both theoretical and practical. Authors of papers published in PACMPL Issue POPL 2023 will be invited to present their work in the POPL conference in January 2023, which is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGACT and ACM SIGLOG. # Important Dates Thu 07 Jul 2022: Submission Deadline Tue 06 Sep 2022: Start of Author Response period Fri 09 Sep 2022: End of Author Response period Tue 27 Sep 2022: Notification of Conditional Acceptance Wed 26 Oct 2022: Deadline for submission of revisions Mon 07 Nov 2022: Notification of Final Acceptance Thu 10 Nov 2022: Camera-Ready Deadline Wed 18 - Fri 20 Jan 2023: Conference For the fiftieth POPL and the 50th anniversary of POPL, we will be back where POPL #1 happened: Boston, Massachusetts. Location: Boston Park Plaza, Boston, USA General chair: Andrew Myers Program chair: Amal Ahmed Program Committee members: https://popl23.sigplan.org/committee/POPL-2023-popl-research-papers-program… Full CFP: https://popl23.sigplan.org/track/POPL-2023-popl-research-papers#POPL-2023-C… NEW THIS YEAR: POPL 2023 will use a double-blind reviewing process (instead of the lightweight double-blind process used in recent years). This means that identities of authors will not be visible to reviewers until after acceptance decisions have been made. For authors, the main change is that there is no option to upload non-anonymized supplementary material; only anonymized supplementary material may be submitted. # Scope Principles of Programming Languages (POPL) is a forum for the discussion of all aspects of programming languages and programming systems. Both theoretical and experimental papers are welcome, on topics ranging from formal frameworks to experience reports. We seek submissions that make principled, enduring contributions to the theory, design, understanding, implementation, or application of programming languages. # Evaluation Criteria The Review Committee will evaluate the technical contribution of each submission as well as its accessibility to both experts and the general POPL audience. All papers will be judged on significance, originality, relevance, correctness, and clarity. Each paper must explain its scientific contribution in both general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and comparing it with previous work. Advice on writing technical papers can be found on the SIGPLAN author information page. Deadlines and formatting requirements will be strictly enforced. # Evaluation Process NEW THIS YEAR: POPL 2023 will use a double-blind reviewing process (instead of the lightweight double-blind process used in recent years). This means that identities of authors will not be visible to reviewers until after conditional-acceptance decisions have been made. For authors, the main change is that there is no option to upload non-anonymized supplementary material; only _anonymized_ supplementary material may be submitted. Also new this year: POPL 2023 will have three Associate Chairs who will help the PC Chair monitor reviews, solicit external expert reviews for submissions when there is not enough expertise on the committee, and facilitate reviewer discussions. As in previous years, authors will have a multi-day period to respond to reviews, as indicated in the Important Dates table. Responses are optional. A response must be concise, addressing specific points raised in the reviews; in particular, it must not introduce new technical results. Reviewers will write a short reaction to these author responses. The Review Committee (RC) will discuss papers electronically and, new this year, also during two days of synchronous, face-to-face, virtual Review Committee meetings. There will be no physical RC meeting; this will avoid the time, cost, and environmental impact of transporting an increasingly large committee to one point on the globe. There is no formal External Review Committee, though experts outside the committee will be consulted. Reviews will be accompanied by a short summary of the reasons behind the committee's decision with the goal of clarifying the reasons behind the decision. To conform with ACM requirements for journal publication, all POPL papers will be conditionally accepted; authors will be required to submit a short description of the changes made to the final version of the paper, including how the changes address any requirements imposed by the Review Committee. That the changes are sufficient will be confirmed by the original reviewers prior to acceptance to POPL. Authors of conditionally accepted papers must submit a satisfactory revision to the Review Committee by the requested deadline or risk rejection. # Double-Blind Reviewing POPL 2023 will use double-blind reviewing. This means that author names and affiliations must be omitted from the submission. Additionally, if the submission refers to prior work done by the authors, that reference should be made in third person. These are firm submission requirements. Any supplementary material must also be anonymized. The FAQ on Double-Blind Reviewing(https://popl23.sigplan.org/track/POPL-2023-popl-research-papers#F… clarifies the policy for the most common scenarios. But there are many gray areas and trade-offs. If you have any doubts about how to interpret the double-blind rules, please contact the Program Chair. Make sure to contact the Program Chair for complex cases that are not fully covered by the FAQ. # Submission Guidelines The following two points are easy to overlook: - Conflicts: Each author of a submission has to log into the submission system and properly declare all potential conflicts of interest in the author profile form. A conflict caught late in the reviewing process leads to a voided review which may be infeasible to replace. - Anonymity: POPL 2023 will employ a double-blind reviewing process. Make sure that your submitted paper is fully anonymized. Prior to the paper submission deadline, the authors will upload their full anonymized paper. Each paper should have no more than 25 pages of text, excluding bibliography, using the new ACM Proceedings format. # Artifact Evaluation for Accepted Papers Authors of conditionally accepted papers will be invited to formally submit supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation process. Artifact Evaluation is run by a separate committee whose task is to assess how the artifacts support the work described in the papers. Artifact submission is strongly encouraged but voluntary and will not influence the final decision regarding the papers. Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive a seal of approval printed on the papers themselves. Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to make these materials publicly available upon publication of the proceedings, by including them as "source materials" in the ACM Digital Library. # Copyright, Publication, and Presentation As a Gold Open Access journal, PACMPL is committed to making peer-reviewed scientific research free of restrictions on both access and (re-)use. Authors are strongly encouraged to support libre open access by licensing their work with the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY) license, which grants readers liberal (re-)use rights. Authors of accepted papers will be required to choose one of the following publication rights: - Author licenses the work with a Creative Commons license, retains copyright, and (implicitly) grants ACM non-exclusive permission to publish (suggested choice). - Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM a non-exclusive permission to publish license. - Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM an exclusive permission to publish license. - Author transfers copyright of the work to ACM. These choices follow from ACM Copyright Policy and ACM Author Rights, corresponding to ACM's "author pays" option. While PACMPL may ask authors who have funding for open-access fees to voluntarily cover the article processing charge (currently, US$400), payment is not required for publication. PACMPL and SIGPLAN continue to explore the best models for funding open access, focusing on approaches that are sustainable in the long-term while reducing short-term risk. All papers will be archived by the ACM Digital Library. Authors will have the option of including supplementary material with their paper. The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. Authors of accepted papers are required to give a short talk (roughly 25 minutes long) at the conference, according to the conference schedule. # Distinguished Paper Awards At most 10% of the accepted papers of POPL 2023 will be designated as Distinguished Papers. This award highlights papers that the POPL Review Committee thinks should be read by a broad audience due to their relevance, originality, significance and clarity. The selection of the distinguished papers will be made based on the final version of the paper and through a second review process.

by Steve Zdancewic 14 Jun '22

14 Jun '22

Certified Programs and Proofs (CPP) is an international conference on practical and theoretical topics in all areas that consider formal verification and certification as an essential paradigm for their work. CPP spans areas of computer science, mathematics, logic, and education. CPP 2023 (https://popl23.sigplan.org/home/CPP-2023) will be held on 16-17 January 2023 and will be co-located with POPL 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. CPP 2023 is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGLOG. CPP 2023 will welcome contributions from all members of the community. The CPP 2023 organizers will strive to enable both in-person and remote participation, in cooperation with the POPL 2023 organizers. IMPORTANT DATES * Abstract Submission Deadline: 14 September 2022 at 23:59 AoE (UTC-12h) * Paper Submission Deadline: 21 September 2022 at 23:59 AoE (UTC-12h) * Notification (tentative): 21 November 2022 * Camera Ready Deadline (tentative): 12 December 2022 * Conference: 16-17 January 2023 Deadlines expire at the end of the day, anywhere on earth. Abstract and submission deadlines are strict and there will be no extensions. DISTINGUISHED PAPER AWARDS Around 10% of the accepted papers at CPP 2023 will be designated as Distinguished Papers. This award highlights papers that the CPP program committee thinks should be read by a broad audience due to their relevance, originality, significance and clarity. TOPICS OF INTEREST We welcome submissions in research areas related to formal certification of programs and proofs. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics of interest to CPP: * certified or certifying programming, compilation, linking, OS kernels, runtime systems, security monitors, and hardware; * certified mathematical libraries and mathematical theorems; * proof assistants (e.g, ACL2, Agda, Coq, Dafny, F*, HOL4, HOL Light, Idris, Isabelle, Lean, Mizar, Nuprl, PVS, etc); * new languages and tools for certified programming; * program analysis, program verification, and program synthesis; * program logics, type systems, and semantics for certified code; * logics for certifying concurrent and distributed systems; * mechanized metatheory, formalized programming language semantics, and logical frameworks; * higher-order logics, dependent type theory, proof theory, logical systems, separation logics, and logics for security; * verification of correctness and security properties; * formally verified blockchains and smart contracts; * certificates for decision procedures, including linear algebra, polynomial systems, SAT, SMT, and unification in algebras of interest; * certificates for semi-decision procedures, including equality, first-order logic, and higher-order unification; * certificates for program termination; * formal models of computation; * mechanized (un)decidability and computational complexity proofs; * formally certified methods for induction and coinduction; * integration of interactive and automated provers; * logical foundations of proof assistants; * applications of AI and machine learning to formal certification; * user interfaces for proof assistants and theorem provers; * teaching mathematics and computer science with proof assistants. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Prior to the paper submission deadline, the authors should upload their anonymized paper in PDF format through the HotCRP system at https://cpp2023.hotcrp.com The submissions must be written in English and provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee to assess the merits of the contribution. They must be formatted following the ACM SIGPLAN Proceedings format using the acmart style with the sigplan option, which provides a two-column style, using 10 point font for the main text, and a header for double blind review submission, i.e., \documentclass[sigplan,10pt,anonymous,review]{acmart}\settopmatter{printfolios=true,printccs=false,printacmref=false} The submitted papers should not exceed 12 pages, including tables and figures, but excluding bibliography and clearly marked appendices. The papers should be self-contained without the appendices. Shorter papers are welcome and will be given equal consideration. Submissions not conforming to the requirements concerning format and maximum length may be rejected without further consideration. CPP 2023 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process following the process from previous years. To facilitate this, the submissions must adhere to two rules: (1) author names and institutions must be omitted, and (2) references to authors’ own related work should be in the third person (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on the work of ..."). The purpose of this process is to help the PC and external reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing it more difficult. In particular, important background references should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors are free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their papers as usual. For example, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas. Note that POPL 2023 itself will employ full double-blind reviewing, which differs from the light-weight CPP process. This FAQ from previous SIGPLAN conference addresses many common concerns: https://popl20.sigplan.org/track/POPL-2020-Research-Papers#Submission-and-R… We strongly encourage the authors to provide any supplementary material that supports the claims made in the paper, such as proof scripts or experimental data. This material must be uploaded at submission time, as an archive, not via a URL. Two forms of supplementary material may be submitted: (1) Anonymous supplementary material is made available to the reviewers before they submit their first-draft reviews. (2) Non-anonymous supplementary material is made available to the reviewers after they have submitted their first-draft reviews and have learned the identity of the authors. Please use anonymous supplementary material whenever possible, so that it can be taken into account from the beginning of the reviewing process. The submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy (https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/) and the ACM Policy on Plagiarism (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism) Concurrent submissions to other conferences, journals, workshops with proceedings, or similar forums of publication are not allowed. The PC chairs should be informed of closely related work submitted to a conference or journal in advance of submission. One author of each accepted paper is expected to present it at the (possibly virtual) conference. PUBLICATION, COPYRIGHT AND OPEN ACCESS The CPP 2023 proceedings will be published by the ACM, and authors of accepted papers will be required to choose one of the following publication options: (1) Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM a non-exclusive permission-to-publish license and, optionally, licenses the work under a Creative Commons license. (2) Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM an exclusive permission-to-publish license. (3) Author transfers copyright of the work to ACM. For authors who can afford it, we recommend option (1), which will make the paper Gold Open Access, and also encourage such authors to license their work under the CC-BY license. ACM will charge you an article processing fee for this option (currently, US$700), which you have to pay directly with the ACM. For everyone else, we recommend option (2), which is free and allows you to achieve Green Open Access, by uploading a preprint of your paper to a repository that guarantees permanent archival such as arXiv or HAL. This is anyway a good idea for timely dissemination even if you chose option 1. The official CPP 2023 proceedings will also be available via SIGPLAN OpenTOC (http://www.sigplan.org/OpenTOC/#cpp) For ACM’s take on this, see their Copyright Policy (http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright-policy) and Author Rights (http://authors.acm.org/main.html) PROGRAM COMMITTEE Steve Zdancewic, University of Pennsylvania, USA (co-chair) Brigitte Peintka, McGill University, Canada (co-chair) Reynald Affeldt, AIST, Japan Tej Chajed, MIT, USA Koen Claessen, Chalmers, Sweden Ranald Clouston, ANU, Australia Leonardo de Moura, Microsoft Research, USA Xinyu Feng, Nanjing University, China Denis Firsov, Tallinn University/GuardTime, Estonia Yannick Forster, Inria Nantes, France Milos Gligoric, UT Austin, USA Stephane Graham-Lengrand, SRI, USA Elsa Gunter, Univerisity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA Chris Hawblitzel, Microsoft Research, US Chantal Keller , Université Paris Saclay, France Marie Kerjean, CNRS, France Yoonseung Kim, Seoul National University, Korea Kenji Maillard, INRIA, France César Muñoz, Amazon Web Services, USA Tobias Nipkow, Technical University of Munich, Germany Lawrence Paulson, Cambridge, UK Pierre-Marie Pédrot, INRIA, France Anja Petković Komel, TU Wien, Vienna Clément Pit-Claudel, EPFL, France Christine Rizkallah, University of Melbourne, Australia Cody Roux, AWS, USA Kazuhiko Sakaguchi, University of Tsukuba, Japan Anna Slobodova, Intel, USA Aaron Stump, University of Iowa, USA René Thiemann, University of Innsbruck, Austria Amin Timany, Aarhus University, Denmark Josef Urban, CIIRC (Prague), Czech Republic Viktor Vafeiadis, MPI-SWS, Germany Yuting Wang, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China Tjark Weber, Uppsala University, Sweden ORGANIZERS Dmitriy Traytel, University of Copenhagen, Denmark (conference co-chair) Robbert Krebbers, Radboud University, Netherlands (conference co-chair) Brigitte Peintka, McGill University, Canada (PC co-chair) Steve Zdancewic, University of Pennsylvania, United States (PC co-chair) CONTACT For any questions please contact the two PC chairs: Steve Zdancewic <stevez(a)seas.upenn.edu> Brigitte Pientka <bpientka(a)cs.mcgill.ca>

CALL FOR PAPERS - IFL22 - The 34th Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages
by Pieter Koopman 13 Jun '22

13 Jun '22

*CALL FOR PAPERS - The 34th Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages* *Important dates* Draft paper submission: 7th of August 2022 Draft paper notification: 9th of August 2022 Registration deadline: 12th of August 2022 Symposium: 31th of August to 2nd of September *Scope* The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages. IFL 2022 will be a venue for researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation and application of functional languages and function-based programming. Topics of interest to IFL include, but are not limited to: * language concepts * type systems, type checking, type inferencing * compilation techniques * staged compilation * run-time function specialization * run-time code generation * partial evaluation * abstract interpretation * metaprogramming * generic programming * automatic program generation * array processing * concurrent/parallel programming * concurrent/parallel program execution * embedded systems * web applications * embedded domain specific languages * security * novel memory management techniques * run-time profiling performance measurements * debugging and tracing * virtual/abstract machine architectures * validation, verification of functional programs * tools and programming techniques * industrial applications *Submissions and peer-review* Following IFL tradition, IFL 2022 will use a post-symposium review process to produce the formal proceedings. Before the symposium authors submit draft papers. These draft papers will be screened by the program chair to make sure that they are within the scope of IFL. The draft papers will be made available to all participants at the symposium. Each draft paper is presented by one of the authors at the symposium. After the symposium, a formal review process will take place, conducted by the program committee. Reviewing is single blind. There will be at least 3 reviews per paper. The reviewers have 6 weeks to write their reviews.

10 Jun '22

# CALL FOR PAPERS - The 34th Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages ## Important dates Draft paper submission: 7th of August 2022 Draft paper notification: 9th of August 2022 Registration deadline: 12th of August 2022 Symposium: 31th of August to 2nd of September ## Scope The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages. IFL 2022 will be a venue for researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation and application of functional languages and function-based programming. Topics of interest to IFL include, but are not limited to: * language concepts * type systems, type checking, type inferencing * compilation techniques * staged compilation * run-time function specialization * run-time code generation * partial evaluation * abstract interpretation * metaprogramming * generic programming * automatic program generation * array processing * concurrent/parallel programming * concurrent/parallel program execution * embedded systems * web applications * embedded domain specific languages * security * novel memory management techniques * run-time profiling performance measurements * debugging and tracing * virtual/abstract machine architectures * validation, verification of functional programs * tools and programming techniques * industrial applications ## Submissions and peer-review Following IFL tradition, IFL 2022 will use a post-symposium review process to produce the formal proceedings. Before the symposium authors submit draft papers. These draft papers will be screened by the program chair to make sure that they are within the scope of IFL. The draft papers will be made available to all participants at the symposium. Each draft paper is presented by one of the authors at the symposium. After the symposium, a formal review process will take place, conducted by the program committee. Reviewing is single blind. There will be at least 3 reviews per paper. The reviewers have 6 weeks to write their reviews. For the camera-ready version the authors can make minor revisions which are accepted without further reviewing. ## Where IFL 2022 will be held physically in Copenhagen, Denmark, arranged by DIKU at the University of Copenhagen.

by ICFP Publicity 07 Jun '22

07 Jun '22

CALL FOR TUTORIAL, PANEL, AND DISCUSSION PROPOSALS ICFP 2022 27th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming Sun 11 - Fri 16 September 2022 Ljubljana, Slovenia https://icfp22.sigplan.org/ The 27th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming will be held on September 11-16, 2022 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. ICFP provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear about the latest work on the design, implementations, principles, and uses of functional programming. Proposals are invited for tutorials, lasting approximately 3 hours each, to be presented during ICFP and its co-located workshops and other events. The tutorials may target an audience who is interested in commercial uses of functional programming, but we also welcome tutorials whose primary audience is researchers rather than practitioners. Tutorials may focus either on a concrete technology or on a theoretical or mathematical tool. Ideally, tutorials will have a concrete result, such as "Learn to do X with Y" rather than "Learn language Y". Just like last year, following the success of the #ShutDownPL event, we are also inviting proposals for panels and discussions on topics of broader interest to the PL community. Tutorials, panels, and discussions may occur before or after ICFP, co-located with the associated workshops, on September 11 or September 15-16. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission details Deadline for submission: June 24st, 2022 Notification of acceptance: July 15th, 2022 Prospective organizers of tutorials are invited to submit a completed tutorial proposal form in plain text format to the ICFP 2022 workshop co-chairs (Arthur Azevedo de Amorim and Zoe Paraskevopoulou), via email to icfp-workshops-2022(a)googlegroups.com by June 24st, 2022. Please note that this is a firm deadline. Organizers will be notified if their event proposal is accepted by July 8th, 2022. The proposal form is available at: http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2022-files/icfp22-panel-form.txt http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2022-files/icfp22-tutorials-form.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Selection committee The proposals will be evaluated by a committee comprising the following members of the ICFP 2022 organizing committee. Tutorials Co-Chair: Arthur Azevedo de Amorim (Boston University) Tutorials Co-Chair: Zoe Paraskevopoulou (Northeastern University) General Chair: Andrej Bauer (University of Ljubljana) Program Chair: Zena M. Ariola (University of Oregon) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Further information Any queries should be addressed to the tutorial co-chairs (Arthur Azevedo de Amorim and Zoe Paraskevopoulou), via email to icfp-workshops-2022(a)googlegroups.com.

RCRA 2022 - 1st call for papers
by cfp 25 May '22

25 May '22

[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. Workshop submissions must be in PDF format, do not exceed 15 (for full papers) or 8 (for short papers) pages, and should be written in LaTeX, using the LNCS style. RCRA 2022 uses EasyChair for the submission of contributions. Contributions must be submitted through this page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rcra2022 All submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee (TBD). CONTACT In case of need, the workshop co-chairs can be contacted by sending an email to: marco@dibris.unige.it,M.Vallati@hud.ac.uk PROCEEDINGS CEUR-WS Proceedings: Accepted original papers will be published in the AIxIA series of CEUR-WS AI*IA Series on CEUR-WS.org (upon authors confirmation) Moreover, as in some previous editions (http://rcra.aixia.it/publications) we are considering the possibility of having a special issue of an international journal, provided that a sufficient amount of high quality papers is collected. All technical papers, original and non-original, will be eligible.
