Call for Contributions
WiL 2024: 8th Women in Logic Workshop
July 9, 2024
Co-located with LICS/ICALP/FSCD 2024
https://sites.google.com/view/wil24
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Women in Logic 2024 is a satellite event of the 9th International
Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD
2024) to be held in Tallinn, Estonia, from July 10 to July 13, 2024.

The Women in Logic workshop (WiL) provides an opportunity to increase
awareness of the valuable contributions made by women in the area of
logic in computer science. Its main purpose is to promote the
excellent research done by women, with the ultimate goal of increasing
their visibility and representation in the community. Our aim is to:

* provide a platform for women researchers to share their work and achievements;
* increase the feelings of community and belonging, especially among
junior faculty, post-docs and students through positive interactions
with peers and more established faculty;
* establish new connections and collaborations;
* foster a welcoming culture of mutual support and growth within the
logic research community.

We believe these aspects will benefit women working in logic and
computer science, particularly early-career researchers.

Previous versions of Women in Logic (Reykjavík 2017, Oxford 2018,
Vancouver 2019, Paris 2020, Rome 2021, Haifa 2022, Rome 2023) were
very successful in showcasing women's work and as catalysts for a
recognition of the need for change in the community.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to: automata theory,
automated deduction, categorical models and logics, concurrency and
distributed computation, constraint programming, constructive
mathematics, database theory, decision procedures, description logics,
domain theory, finite model theory, formal aspects of program
analysis, formal methods, foundations of computability, games and
logic, higher-order logic, lambda and combinatory calculi, linear
logic, logic in artificial intelligence, logic programming, logical
aspects of bioinformatics, logical aspects of computational
complexity, logical aspects of quantum computation, logical
frameworks, logics of programs, modal and temporal logics, model
checking, probabilistic systems, process calculi, programming language
semantics, proof theory, real-time systems, reasoning about security
and privacy, rewriting, type systems and type theory, and
verification.

[DMANET] NEW: Parameterized (Multivartiate) Complexity + Applied Topology and Category Theory

       Abstract Methods in Multivariate Algorithmics (AMMA)

Welcome to AMMA, a new international workshop bringing together two mathematical communities: (1) researchers in parameterized (multivariate) complexity theory and (2) researchers in applied topology and category theory.

WEBSITE: https://gataslab.org/amma
DATE: 12-16 August 2024
LOCATION: University of Florida (Gainsville, Florida, USA)
Abstract submission is now open. There will be post-proceedings.

The two communities share many core goals such as understanding compositional systems and compositional algorithms and the systematic confinement of emergent complexity (such as combinatorial explosion). The workshop will consist of a blend of invited and contributed talks as well as tutorials on parameterized complexity and applied category theory aiming to bridge the mathematical and linguistic gap between the two communities.
The topics may include but are not limited to:
•    Sheaves and dynamic programming
•    Well-quasi-ordering and encountered-instance algorithmic frameworks beyond worst-case analysis
•    Universal obstructions in graph structural width metrics and a general theory of such metrics
•    Abstract approaches to second-order Myhill-Nerode congruences and beyond
•    Diagram-completion paradigms in parameterized complexity such as solution diversity,
•    Transfer learning and dynamic input
•    General theories of purposeful kernelization
•    Parameterizing on quantization
•    Inductive gradients in parameterized algorithms
•    Problem-specific well quasi-ordering and functorial approaches to parameterized complexity classification
•    Abstract views of input normal forms such as graphs as lineal topologies
•    Abstract models of computation appropriate to truly linear FPT (O(n) + f(k)) algorithmics
•    Abstract models of graphs arising from data points plus metric knobs, and their natural decompositions.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact any member of the organising committee:
— Benjamin Merlin Bumpus  (benjamin.merlin.bumpus@gmail.com)
— Michael R. Fellows (Michael.fellows@uib.no)
— Frances A. Rosamond (frances.rosamond4@gmail.com)

[DMANET] Call for Papers: 8th International Conference on Algorithmic Decision Theory - ADT 2024

*ADT** 2024 - CALL FOR PAPERS*

The 8th International Conference on Algorithmic Decision Theory - ADT 2024
<https://preflib.github.io/adt2024/index> will be held October 14-16, 2024,
at the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science
(DIMACS) at Rutgers University.


We've got a great lineup of invited speakers including Xiao (Tracy)
Liu, Herve Moulin, and Jenn Wortman Vaughan!

Website: https://preflib.github.io/adt2024/

ADT 2024 focuses on algorithmic decision theory broadly defined, seeking to
bring together researchers and practitioners coming from diverse areas of
Computer Science, Economics, and Operations Research in order to improve
the theory and practice of modern decision support. The conference topics
include research in: Algorithms, Argumentation Theory, Artificial
Intelligence, Computational Social Choice, Database Systems, Decision
Analysis, Discrete Mathematics, Game Theory, Machine Learning and
Adversarial Machine Learning, Matching, Multi-agent Systems, Multiple
Criteria Decision Aiding, Networks, Optimization, Preference Modeling, Risk
Analysis and Adversarial Risk Analysis, and Utility Theory.


*Important Dates*

*Title and Abstract Submission*: May 10, 2024

*Full Paper Submission*: May 17, 2024

*Notification*: July 19, 2024

*Final Version of Accepted Papers*: August 9, 2024

*Conference Dates*: October 14-16, 2024

*Submissions*

Submissions are invited on significant, original and previously unpublished
research on all aspects of Algorithmic Decision Theory. Papers must be at
most 15 pages long in the LNCS format (including references). The formal
proceedings of ADT 2024 will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture
Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) <http://www.springer.com/lncs>.

ADT 2024 will not accept any paper that, at the time of submission, has
already been published in a journal or another venue with formally
published proceedings. However, in order to accommodate the publication
norms of the many fields that work on decision theory, papers can be
submitted but not already published elsewhere provided the authors note
they are submitting for the non-proceedings track at the top of their
submission.

All papers will be peer-reviewed by a double-blind procedure. Therefore,
papers must be submitted anonymously as pdf documents via the Microsoft CMT
<https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ADT2024> system.

It is important and required that authors do not reveal their identities in
submitted papers. Since the review process is double blind, authors must
take measures to ensure that their identity is not easily revealed from the
submission itself. Authors should include the submission number (as
assigned by the conference system) in the author field of the submission,
and refer to their prior work in a neutral manner (i.e., instead of saying
"We showed" say "XYZ et al. showed"). It is acceptable to submit work that
has been presented in public or has appeared on arXiv, provided the
submission itself is anonymized.

*Submission Format:* Authors should consult Springer's authors' guidelines
and use their proceedings templates
<https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines>,
either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Note
that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the
conference to present the work. Authors will be required to agree to this
requirement at the time of submission. In addition, the corresponding
author of each accepted paper that will appear in the proceedings, acting
on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, will need to complete and
sign a Consent-to-Publish form, through which the copyright for their paper is
transferred to Springer.

To accommodate the publishing traditions of different fields, ADT 2024 will
accept two types of submissions:

*Submissions with full text in the proceedings:* Papers of this type will
be accepted for either oral or poster presentation, or both. Each accepted
paper of this type will be allocated at most 15 pages in the proceedings
and there will be no distinction between papers accepted for oral or poster
presentation in the conference proceedings.

*Submissions with one-page abstract in the proceeding:* Papers of this type
will be accepted for either oral or poster presentation, or both. Each
accepted paper of this type will appear as a one-page abstract in the
proceedings, along with a URL pointing to the full paper. This option is
available to accommodate subsequent publication in journals that would not
consider results that have been published in preliminary form in conference
proceedings. Such papers must be formatted just like papers submitted for
full-text publication, at the submission time, but authors are required to
write "submission without proceedings" into the author field of their
paper (instead
of author names), if they choose this category. Otherwise, it will be
assumed, by default, that their paper is submitted in the first category
(submissions with full-text in the proceedings).

depends on the number of applicants and last minute donations.

We encourage applications from students from a wide variety of
institutions, diverse backgrounds, and first time attendees. Due to
restrictions on the travel sponsorship, the majority of travel grants
will be given to students enrolled in U.S. institutions, but we also
have funds to cover the participation of a limited number of students
from international institutions. Undergraduate and graduate students
will be considered.


APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND DEADLINES

[DMANET] CFP 2024 Intl Workshop on Quantum Data Science and Management @ VLDB

*************************************************************************
CALL FOR PAPERS
International Workshop on Quantum Data Science and Management (QDSM 2024)

In conjunction with VLDB 2024

August 29, 2024, Guangzhou, China (and hybrid)
Submission: May 5, 2024

Web: https://www.ifis.uni-luebeck.de/~groppe/qdsm
*************************************************************************

** Aims of the Workshop **

The field of quantum computing has experienced remarkable progress
after decades of research and development. Prototypes of quantum
computers already exist and have been made available to users through
cloud services (e.g., IBM Q experience, Google quantum AI, or Xanadu
quantum cloud). While fault-tolerant and large-scale quantum computers
are not available yet, the potential of this new technology is
undeniable. Quantum algorithms have the proven ability to either
outperform classical approaches for various tasks or are impossible to
be efficiently simulated by classical means under reasonable
complexity-theoretic assumptions. Even imperfect current-day
technology is speculated to exhibit computational advantages over
classical systems.

For most database researchers, quantum computing and quantum machine
learning are still new research fields. The goal of this workshop is
to bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners from
multiple disciplines (e.g., database, AI, software, physics, etc.) to
discuss the challenges, solutions, and applications of quantum
computing and quantum machine learning that have the potential to
advance the state of the art of data science and data management
technologies. Our purpose is to foster the interaction between
database researchers and more traditional quantum disciplines, as well
as industrial users. The workshop serves as a forum for the growing
quantum computing community to connect with database researchers to
discuss the wider questions and applications of how quantum resources
can benefit data science and data management tasks, and how quantum
software can support this endeavor.

We believe that many unsolved and interesting issues can be found at
boundaries and intersections between different fields and that there
are insufficient venues to publish such cross-disciplinary results. We
also believe that an important aspect of future quantum computing will
concern issues of handling data in one way or another. This workshop
will serve as a venue not only to discuss early, experimental results
in research, but also to feature a demonstration part with the
intention of providing attendees with first-hand experience in using
novel quantum computing techniques that go beyond the simple examples
offered by various web services. This will give researchers a
realistic intuition about quantum computing for data science and data
management tasks.

** Categories of Papers **

The workshop solicits papers of the following categories:
- Research Papers propose new approaches, theories or techniques
related to quantum data science and management including new data
structures, protocols and algorithms. They should make substantial
theoretical and empirical contributions to the research field.
- System Papers describe new systems and whole frameworks for
enabling quantum data science and management.
- Experiments and Analysis Papers focus on the experimental
evaluation of existing approaches including data structures and
algorithms for quantum data science and management and bring new
insights through the analysis of these experiments. Results of
Experiments and Analysis Papers can be, for example, showing the
benefits of well-known approaches in new settings and environments,
opening new research problems by demonstrating unexpected behavior or
phenomena, or comparing a set of traditional approaches in an
experimental survey.
- Application Papers report practical experiences on applications of
quantum data science and management. Application Papers might describe
how to apply quantum technologies to specific application domains.
- Vision Papers identify emerging new or future research issues and
directions and describe new research visions for quantum data science
and management. The new visions will potentially have significant
impacts on society.
- Demo Papers deal with innovative approaches and applications for
quantum data science and management. These papers describe a showcase
of the proposed approach/application. We are especially interested in
demonstrations having a WOW-effect.
The length of papers must be within 5 pages to 10 pages. Accepted
papers will be published in the CEUR Workshop proceedings
(CEUR-WS.org) and presented as oral presentations.


** Topics of Interest **

We are interested in all issues concerning quantum data science and
management such as the following:
- Quantum Computing for problems related to Data Science and Management
- Quantum Data Science
- Quantum Computing for Data Science
- Data Science for Quantum Computing

[DMANET] FLLM2024 CFP (Co-Sponsored by IEEE): The 2nd International Conference on Foundation and Large Language Models , 26-29 November, 2024 | Dubai, UAE

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation]

The 2nd International Conference on Foundation and Large Language Models
(FLLM2024)

https://fllm2024.fllm-conference.org/index.php

26-29 November, 2024 | Dubai, UAE

Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE UAE Section

*FLLM 2024 CFP:*

With the emergence of foundation models (FMs) and Large Language Models
(LLMs) that are trained on large amounts of data at scale and adaptable to
a wide range of downstream applications, Artificial intelligence is
experiencing a paradigm revolution. BERT, T5, ChatGPT, GPT-4, Falcon 180B,
Codex, DALL-E, Whisper, and CLIP are now the foundation for new
applications ranging from computer vision to protein sequence study and
from speech recognition to coding. Earlier models had a reputation of
starting from scratch with each new challenge. The capacity to experiment
with, examine, and comprehend the capabilities and potentials of
next-generation FMs is critical to undertaking this research and guiding
its path. Nevertheless, these models are currently inaccessible as the
resources required to train these models are highly concentrated in
industry, and even the assets (data, code) required to replicate their
training are frequently not released due to their demand in the real-time
industry. At the moment, mostly large tech companies such as OpenAI,
Google, Facebook, and Baidu can afford to construct FMs and LLMS. Despite
the expected widely publicized use of FMs and LLMS, we still lack a
comprehensive knowledge of how they operate, why they underperform, and
what they are even capable of because of their emerging global qualities.
To deal with these problems, we believe that much critical research on FMs
and LLMS would necessitate extensive multidisciplinary collaboration, given
their essentially social and technical structure.

The International Conference on Foundation and Large Language Models (FLLM)
addresses the architectures, applications, challenges, approaches, and
future directions. We invite the submission of original papers on all
topics related to FLLMs, with special interest in but not limited to:

- *Architectures and Systems*
- Transformers and Attention
- Bidirectional Encoding
- Autoregressive Models
- Massive GPU Systems
- Prompt Engineering
- Multimodal LLMs
- Fine-tuning
- *Challenges*
- Hallucination
- Cost of Creation and Training
- Energy and Sustainability Issues
- Integration
- Safety and Trustworthiness
- Interpretability
- Fairness
- Social Impact
- * Future Directions*
- Generative AI
- Explainability and EXplainable AI
- Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
- Federated Learning for FLLM
- Large Language Models Fine-Tuning on Graphs
- Data Augmentation
- * Natural Language Processing Applications*
- Generation
- Summarization
- Rewrite
- Search
- Question Answering
- Language Comprehension and Complex Reasoning
- Clustering and Classification
- * Applications*
- Natural Language Processing
- Communication Systems
- Security and Privacy
- Image Processing and Computer Vision
- Life Sciences
- Financial Systems

*Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings*

Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11"
two-column format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted
electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper can be up to 8 pages
(including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must
present original unpublished research that is not currently under review
for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines
may be rejected without review. Also submissions received after the due
date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not
be considered. Authors may contact the Program Chair for further
information or clarification. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least
three reviewers. Accepted papers will appear in the FLLM Proceeding, and be
published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and
be submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion. Submitted papers must include
original work, and must not be under consideration for another conference
or journal. Submission of regular papers up to 8 pages and must follow the
IEEE paper format. Please include up to 7 keywords, complete postal and
email address, and fax and phone numbers of the corresponding author.

[DMANET] IEEE BigDataSE 2024, 17-21 December, Hainan, China - Call for Papers

I hope this email finds you well. This email is to inform you about the
upcoming IEEE BigDataSE-2024 conference. As a valued member of the academic
and research community, we invite you to participate and contribute to this
prestigious event.

*http://ieee-aiplus.org/2024/bigdatase/index.php*

*INTRODUCTION*

Big data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose size is beyond
the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process
the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Such datasets are often from
various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors,
scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet
texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business
transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data
in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value
(Value) and establish trust in it for business decision making (Veracity).
Various technologies are being discussed to support the handling of big
data such as massively parallel processing databases, scalable storage
systems, cloud/stream computing platforms, and high performance/parallel
computing platforms.

The 18th IEEE International Conference on Big Data Science and Engineering
(BigDataSE-2024) is going to provide a prime international forum for
researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the
latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Big
Data and broadly related areas. The goal of this conference is to promote
community-wide discussion for identifying advanced applications,
technologies and theories for big data. We seek submissions of papers that
invent novel techniques, investigate new applications, introduce advanced
methodologies, propose promising research directions and discuss approaches
for unsolved issues.

BigDataSE-2024 will be hosted in Sanya, China. Sanya, a picturesque coastal
city, offers an ideal setting for the conference and provides opportunities
for exploration, including visits to renowned sites such as Tianya Haijiao,
Wuzhizhou Coral Island, and the beaches of Yalong Bay.

Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to
BigDataSE-2024. Accepted papers will be submitted for possible inclusion
