*********** *********** ***********
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.
