Christophe Duhamel (LITIS) : christophe.duhamel@univ-lehavre.fr

Eric Sanlaville (LITIS) : eric.sanlaville@univ-lehavre.fr

the management team has extensive experience in operations research
applied to logistics, particularly port logistics.

*Key words: *Operations Research, Optimization, Robustness, Logistics,
Vehicle Routing, Scheduling

*Prerequisites: *Master's degree or engineering school in computer
science or applied math. Skills in operations research (modeling,
optimization) and programming.

Your application (CV, motivation, all available Master 1 and 2 marks)
should be e-mailed to the three supervisors as soon as possible and

*subject abstract**:*

Port terminalsare key players in global trade, acting as critical links
in modern supply chains. HAROPA Porthandled over 2.6 million TEUsin
2023, ranking as the 5th largest port in Northern Europe and France's
leading logistics hub. However, these large flows cause severe
congestionat terminal gates due to delays, flow disruptions, and
bottlenecks. This results in higher transport costs, environmental
impact from unnecessary emissions, and reduced port attractiveness.

To manage these flows, *Truck Appointment Systems (TAS)*were introduced,
requiring transporters to pre-book time slotsfor each container entry or
exit. The *TAS problem*involves two key decisions: assigning time slots
and optimizing truck routing. This complexity requires advanced
mathematical and computational approaches.

As part of the MOSART project, we modeled the problem as a PDPTW
variantand developed a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP)
formulation. We also designed a hybrid Biased Random-Key Genetic
Algorithm (BRKGA)to provide high-quality solutions efficiently.

The *ROAST project*aims to enhance this model with three key improvements:

1.

*Robustness*: integrating uncertainties related to container
availability and delays.

2.

*Scalability*: handling large-scale instances using column
generation techniques.

3.

*Environmental optimization*: accounting for electric and
hydrogen-powered truck fleets.

These innovations seek to optimize costs and reduce congestion. By
focusing on *Le Havre Port*, this project will provide tailored
solutions for *the Normandy region*, while offering methodologies
applicable to other ports worldwide.

CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
ALGOCLOUD invites submissions covering theoretical, design, and
implementation aspects of modern cloud-based systems. It specifically
encourages novel algorithms related to cloud and edge computing, cloud
architectures, and the cloud-edge continuum. Experimental work
evaluating contemporary cloud-edge approaches and relevant applications
is of particular interest. Additionally, ALGOCLOUD welcomes
demonstration manuscripts showcasing successful system developments, as
well as articles discussing experiences, use cases, and high-quality
survey papers. Contributions may encompass a broad spectrum of
algorithms, practices, and techniques for modelling, building, and
evaluating operations and services across various systems, including
virtualized infrastructures, cloud computing platforms, edge computing
platforms, fog computing platforms, data centers, cloud storage options,
cloud data management, non-traditional key-value stores on the cloud,
HPC architectures, decentralized systems, and dynamic networks.

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another
journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

Regular papers: Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts
reporting original unpublished research in the topics related to the
symposium. A regular paper submission should clearly motivate the
importance of the problem being addressed, discuss prior work and its
relationship to the paper, explicitly and precisely state the paper's
key contributions, and outline the key technical ideas and methods used
to achieve the main results. A regular paper submission should not
exceed 12 pages, including title page and abstract but excluding
references and an optional appendix. Authors should include all
necessary details in their submission so that the Technical Program
Committee (TPC) can judge correctness, importance and originality of
their work. Any material (e.g., proofs or experimental results) omitted
(from the main part of 12 pages)due to space limitations can be put into
the optional appendix, which will be read at the TPC's discretion.
Regular papers will be allotted up to 20 pages in the proceedings.

Short papers: A short paper submission may present work-in-progress on a
specific topic, or work appeared elsewhere but is worth publicizing it
in the symposium, or a demonstration of a system or library, or an
experience/use-case paper, or a vision paper. Authors should clearly
motivate the importance of their contribution, discuss prior work and
its relationship to the paper, and in general provide sufficient details
in their submission so that the TPC can judge the quality and importance
of their work. A short paper submission should be at least 2 and at most
8 pages. Short papers will be allotted up to 8 pages in the proceedings.

Survey papers: A survey paper submission concerns the write-up of a
high-quality survey paper on an emerging hot topic. Authors are asked to
submit a proposal between 5 and 10 pages, that clearly motivates the
importance of the topic, and contains the structure of the survey paper
along with the most important references that will be critically
reviewed and presented. If the proposal is accepted, then authors will
be given sufficient time to prepare the full version of their survey
paper that needs to pass a quality control check by the TPC, in order to
be finally accepted and appear in the proceedings. Survey papers will be
allotted up to 40 pages in the proceedings.

[DMANET] [CfP] OVERLAY 2025 @ ECAI: 7th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and fOrmal VERification, Logic, Automata, and sYnthesis

7th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and fOrmal VERification, Logic, Automata, and sYnthesis (OVERLAY 2025), co-located with the 28th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2025)

*** We apologize for possible cross posting ***


*********** FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS ***********

OVERLAY 2025 @ ECAI
25th or 26th October, 2025
Bologna, Italy
https://overlay.uniud.it/workshop/2025

DEADLINE: July 12th, 2025

*********** *********** ***********

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. 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 about 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's edition will be held on October 25th or 26th, 2025, as a workshop co-located with ECAI 2025, which is scheduled to be held in Bologna, Italy.

*** Call for contributions ***

We accept extended abstracts (5 pages + references) focusing on the interaction between Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods and on the issue of symbolic/sub-symbolic integration. Presentation of results recently published in other scientific journals or conferences and 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
neuro-symbolic approaches
logics 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. Additionally, presentations of results recently published in other scientific journals or conferences are also welcome; however, these will not be included in the proceedings.    

We plan to include all contributed papers in the Proceedings of the event, published at CEUR Workshop Proceedings. CEUR WS proceedings are archival proceedings indexed by DBLP and Scopus.

Submitted contributed papers should not exceed five (5) pages plus references. Authors are asked to use the Overlay-specific CEURART LaTeX style, available on the website. Authors of accepted papers will have the possibility to extend their submissions for the final camera-ready version to eight (8) pages plus references. No constraints are present for presentation only papers (submitting either a one page abstract or the already published full paper, highlighting the original venue, is ok).

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=overlay2025.
