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.

[DMANET] EATCS Bulletin for the Golden Jubilee

Dear TCS community,

the new issue of the Bulletin of the EATCS is a special one: we celebrate
the Golden Jubilee!

In this special issue, Giorgio Ausiello looks back on the 50-year history
of the EATCS, and the issue also includes a historical article, written by
Ute and Wilfried Brauer, for the Silver Jubilee of the EATCS.

We also invited several members of the community for an interview, and I
would like to thank Robert Cori, Leslie Goldberg, Mariangiola
Dezani-Ciancaglini, Anne Driemel, Christos H. Papadimitriou, Jean-Eric Pin,
Eva Rotenberg, Grzegorz Rozenberg, and Paul Spirakis very much for sharing
their perspectives, thoughts and memories with us.

As usual, the Bulletin includes technical columns and other typical
contents such as book reviews, conference reports, and award announcements.
In particular, check out Luca Trevisan's conversation with Scott Aaronson,
the distributed computing column on Redbelly Blockchain, the education
column about Tobias Kohn's minimal instruction set for education, or the
logics column by Kenichi Morita on making reversible computing machines in
reversible cellular space.

You find the new issue online at
https://eatcs.org/images/bulletin/beatcs137.pdf .

I wish everyone an interesting read and for those who participate, enjoy
the EATCS celebrations in Paris!

Title: Regulatory RNAs in pathogenic Epsilonproteobacteria

Abstract:

Non-coding RNAs and RNA-protein (RNP) complexes play central roles in diverse physiological processes in all kingdoms of life. Research in our lab focuses on RNA-based processes in the two pathogenic Epsilonproteobacteria Helicobacter pylori, the cuasative agent of gastric cancer, and the related food-borne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni. We are especially interested in the roles of small, regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) and RNPs in virulence control as well as novel mechanisms of gene regulation. For example, we have discovered new connections between so-called phase-variation at length variable DNA repeats and post-transcriptional regulation. I will present our work on sRNAs from H. pylori and C. jejuni that target variable G-repeats and regulate genes involved in host colonization as well as antibiotic sensitivity. Moreover, we recently identified a sRNA that is itself regulated by a phase-variable repeat and acts as a central regulator of the major virulence factors of H. pylori.

Title: A 3´UTR-derived, processed small RNA modulates flagellar biogenesis by repression of the anti-sigma factor FlgM in Campylobacter jejuni

Abstract:
In Campylobacter jejuni, as for many pathogens, flagella are a crucial virulence factor, enabling traversal through the viscous mucus layer of the human intestine. Flagellar biogenesis is known to involve hierarchical transcriptional control of each component, with class I genes transcribed from sigma-70-dependent promoters, and class II and class III genes transcribed with the help of alternative sigma factors, RpoN and FliA, respectively. In contrast to transcriptional control, less is known about post-transcriptional regulation of flagellar biosynthesis cascades by small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs). Here, we have characterized a conserved Campylobacter sRNA, CJnc230, encoded downstream of the RpoN-dependent flagellar hook structural protein FlgE, and found that three ribonucleases are involved in sRNA maturation. RNase III cleaves off the sRNA from the flgE mRNA, while RNase Y and PNPase process CJnc230 at its 3´ end. We identified a regulator of flagella-flagella interactions as well as the anti-sigma-28 factor FlgM as targets of CJnc230 repression. CJnc230 overexpression led to de-repression of FliA and subsequent upregulation of class III flagellar genes such as the major flagellin flaA, culminating in an increase in motility and flagellar length. Overexpression of the FliA-dependent sRNA CJnc170 instead led to reduced motility suggesting sRNA-mediated regulation of C. jejuni flagellar biosynthesis through balancing of the hierarchically expressed components.

The club propose seminars every two months. Abstracts and links for the seminars are available here: https://smallrna-bioinformatics.eu/Pages/Seminars/Seminars.aspx

------------------
The explosion of data volumes generated at the edge of the internet by an increasing number of devices combined with the growing attention and sensitivity to privacy preservation of such data, is moving the whole AI process from remote cloud facilities towards the edge of the network, i.e., data owners/holders are more and more unwilling to share their raw data freely to build AI applications and services. However, the data and computational landscape at the edge is so much different from the one in the cloud, that it has stimulated the development of new learning frameworks designed to cope with the several connected challenges at the edge. This is the case for Federated Learning, to mention one, that is a distributed learning framework specifically designed for being robust to context where devices holding some local data collaborate to train a globally shared AI model. The challenges to be addressed in learning at the edge are many since the learning algorithm has to consider several aspects like local data heterogeneity, device heterogeneity, technological shortcomings like intermittent connectivity, devices with limited computational resources, to mention a few.

Developing intelligent distributed and pervasive systems over federated datasets overcoming the limitations imposed by the edge scenario faces new exciting challenges in the design of new AI algorithms, federated and distributed optimization methods, privacy and security mechanisms, and system implementation. This special issue serves as a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their latest research findings and engineering experiences in the theoretical foundations, empirical studies, and novel applications of federated learning, distributed and embedded learning for next-generation pervasive systems. We welcome contributions proposing advancements in theory, algorithms, systems, and applications of federated learning, embedded learning in pervasive systems for various AI tasks to establish the latest efforts of the research in this area.

[DMANET] Three PhD positions in mathematics, University of Primorska, Slovenia

The Department of Mathematics at the Andrej Marusic Institute of the
University of Primorska has three open PhD positions in Mathematics.

The PhD positions are fully funded for four years.
The Starting date is October 1st, 2022.
The Deadline for the applications is August 1st 2022.

The candidates for PhD positions should have a Master's degree in
Mathematics (obtained by September 11th 2022 at the latest), a very good
knowledge of the English language, and should be of age up to 28 years
(extension of this limit is possible in the case of using parental leave in
the past).

Short description of the three open PhD positions:

PhD position under the supervision of Prof. Dragan Marušič:
The work of the selected PhD candidate will be primarily focused on
studying symmetries of graphs.
There are many open problems that relate symmetry and combinatorial
properties of graphs.
One of such problems is the question if every connected vertex-transitive
graph admits a Hamilton path.
Although this is known to be true in some special cases, the general
question remains open.
The PhD candidate will work on several different open problems in this
area, the exact problems would be agreed with the candidate.
The candidate is expected to have a solid background in group theory.
Questions related to this PhD position should be sent to
dragan.marusic@upr.si

PhD position under the supervision of Prof. Bojan Kuzma:
The work will be primarily focused on research in the fields of functional
analysis, linear algebra, and graph theory.
The PhD student will be particularly involved in solving preserver problems
that come from functional analysis and linear algebra with the help of the
tools from graph theory. Typically, the preserver problems will be posed on
subsets of operators acting on Banach spaces and on subsets of matrices
over general fields. They will require characterizing all, possibly
nonlinear, maps which preserve a given property. Since linearity of the
preservers will not be assumed, an important approach which PhD student
will investigate will be to build (an infinite) graph with an edge between
two vertices if a given property holds for the two vertices. PhD candidate
will try to infer algebraic relations between operators through the basic
graph invariants (clique number, number of connected components,…) of the
corresponding vertices and, based on the obtained results, reduce the
problem to already known preservers.
Questions related to this PhD position should be sent to bojan.kuzma@upr.si

PhD position under the supervision of Prof. Enes Pasalic:
The work will be primarily focused on cryptography and different topics of
discrete mathematics.
APN (almost perfect nonlinear) functions are interesting discrete
combinatorial objects that are defined over Galois fields (with the binary
prime field) and have several different characterizations. These objects
can be specified using certain combinatorial properties, coding theoretic
concepts among others, but their most known characterization is given
through their differential properties. Since F: GF(2)^n to GF(2)^n can be
represented as a collection of n Bollean functions their structure may be
also analyzed in terms of its coordinates. These Boolean functions are
usually of some special form (bent or plateaued) which ensures that the APN
property is satisfied. The proposed research topic aims to further
investigate the structure of APN functions through its coordinate functions
and to suggest a generic framework for their construction. Minimum
requirements imposed on applicants include a good knowledge about finite
fields, number theory and some elementary coding theory. It is of benefit
if the applicant possesses a solid knowledge of group theory and algebraic
geometry.
Questions related to this PhD position should be sent to enes.pasalic@upr.si

[DMANET] post-doc position in Cambridge, Faculty of Economics

Post-doc position in computational complexity in Economics
----------------------------------------------------------

The Faculty of Economics at the University of Cambridge is looking to
hire a Research Associate/Postdoctoral Fellow starting October 2022,
although the starting date is negotiable.

We are looking for a candidate with an interest in interdisciplinary
research and teaching straddling the fields of economics and computer
science. The post is attached to Prof. Peter Bossaerts' Leverhulme Trust
International Professorship. The research aims at exploring and
understanding human adaptability in the face of uncertainty induced by
complexity. For this position, the successful candidate should be an
expert in the theory of computational complexity. Knowledge of economics
is not a must, but familiarity with it is a plus, especially if this
concerns contract theory or game theory and mechanism design. The
successful candidate will be expected to work on exploring contract
theory and mechanism design when agents want to delegate computationally
complex tasks. Therefore, genuine interest in applying insights from
theoretical computer science to exploring human behavior is a must. The
successful candidate is expected to publish in high-impact academic
journals, and to contribute to the collegial and intellectual life of
the Economics Faculty while helping promote interdisciplinarity across
campus.

CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------
In today's world, billions of connected systems created an ever ending flow
of data, which is prone to cyberattacks, which needs a fast and accurate
detection of cyber-attacks. Intelligent systems and Data analytics are
important components when matters pertaining to effective security
solutions become the subject of discussion. This is because there is an
impending need for high volume and high velocity data from different
sources to detect anomalies as soon as they arise. This will help reduce
significantly the vulnerability of the systems as well as improve their
resilience. The capability to process large volumes of information real
time through utilization of tools for data analytics has many advantages
vital for analysis of cybersecurity systems. Moreover, the data collected
from advanced intelligent systems, cloud systems, networks, sensors,
computers, intrusion detection systems could be used to identify vital
information. This information could be used to detect how vulnerable the
systems are to risk factors, and so an effective Cyber security solution
can be developed. In addition to that, the utilization of data analytics
tools in the cybersecurity field gives new insights through considering
factors such as zero-day attack detection, real time analysis; resource
constrained data processing among others.

The AISC 2022 symposium addresses the use of advanced intelligent systems
in providing cybersecurity solutions in many fields, and the challenges,
approaches, and future directions. We invite the submission of original
papers on all topics related to Intelligent Systems for Cybersecurity, with
special interest in but not limited to:

- Intelligent systems for effective detection of cyber-attacks
- Advanced Intelligent systems and data analytics for Cloud/Edge systems
security
