[DMANET] CfP: AMAI Special Issue on Symbolic Computation in Software Science

Call for submissions

Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence
Special Issue on on Symbolic Computation in Software Science --
In the Era of Computational and Artificial Intelligence

https://www.risc.jku.at/people/tkutsia/organization/amai-scss.html
------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE
--------
In 2020, Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (AMAI)
celebrated its 30th anniversary. Over the years, the journal has
promoted better understanding of the application of quantitative,
combinatorial, logical, algebraic and algorithmic methods to artificial
intelligence areas as diverse as decision support, automated deduction,
reasoning, knowledge-based systems, machine learning, computer vision,
robotics and planning. AMAI special issues are intended to be
collections of original research papers reflecting the intersection of
mathematics and a focussed discipline demonstrating how each has
contributed greatly to the other. A further goal of the journal is to
close the gaps between the fields even further. Papers should report on
current research in the appropriate areas, as well as more retrospective
papers in which progress has been ongoing over a period of time.

The purpose of this special issue of AMAI is to promote research on
theoretical and practical aspects of symbolic computation in software
science, combined with recent artificial intelligence techniques.
Symbolic Computation is the science of computing with symbolic objects
(terms, formulae, programs, representations of algebraic objects etc.).
Powerful algorithms have been developed during the past decades for the
major subareas of symbolic computation: computer algebra and
computational logic. These algorithms and methods are successfully
applied in various fields, including software science, which covers a
broad range of topics about software construction and analysis.
Meanwhile, artificial intelligence methods and machine learning
algorithms are widely used nowadays in various domains and, in
particular, combined with symbolic computation. Several approaches mix
artificial intelligence and symbolic methods and tools deployed over
large corpora to create what is known as cognitive systems. Cognitive
computing focuses on building systems which interact with humans
naturally by reasoning, aiming at learning at scale.

The special issue is related to the topics of the The 9th International
Symposium on Symbolic Computation in Software Science - SCSS 2021.
Participants of the symposium, as well as other authors are invited to
submit contributions.


TOPICS
-------------------
This special issue focuses on advanced results on the topics that
include, but are not limited to, the following:

- software science-relevant applications of
* automated reasoning, knowledge reasoning, common-sense
reasoning, reasoning in science
* combinations of linguistic/learning-based and semantic/reasoning
methods
* algebras, co-algebras, categories, proof theory, model theory
* artificial intelligence and machine learning methods
- algorithm (program) analysis, synthesis, verification
- extraction of specifications from algorithms (programs)
- algorithm (program) transformation
- formal methods for network and system security
- programming models
- formalization and computerization of knowledge; large-scale computer
understanding of mathematics and science
- alignment and joint processing of formal, semi-formal, and informal
libraries
- formal verification of artificial intelligence and machine learning
algorithms, explainable artificial intelligence, symbolic artificial
intelligence
- cognitive computing, cognitive vision, perception systems and
artificial reasoners for robotics

[DMANET] [Scheduling seminar] Yindong Shen (AIA Huazhong Uni) | February 2| Public transit planning and scheduling based on AVL data in China

Dear scheduling researcher,

We are delighted to announce the talk given by Yindong Shen (AIA
Huazhong Uni).
The title is "Public transit planning and scheduling based on AVL data
in China".
The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, February 2 at 14:00 UTC.

Join Zoom Meeting
https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/93999293735?pwd=S0R4Z0xPckVjdjd6ejRBbjVyZlZ6dz09
Meeting ID: 939 9929 3735
Passcode: 992845

You can follow the seminar online or offline on our Youtube channel as well:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUoCNnaAfw5NAntItILFn4A

The abstract follows.
The public transit operations planning process commonly includes the
following activities: network route design, service planning (frequency
setting and timetabling) and scheduling (vehicle scheduling, crew
scheduling and rostering). However, network route design is generally
the only one widely recognized, whilst service planning and scheduling
are often ignored in China. This leads to the lack of elaborate
timetables and schedules, hence, transit operation is often in disorder
with high operating costs. To raise the service level and the
utilization of resources, an applied study for three cities in China has
been conducted, focusing on the enhancement of the recognition and
execution of public transit planning and scheduling. A comprehensive
framework of public transit planning is first proposed, which is
composed of three traditional Chinese items (i.e. network route design,
land use for depots, and deployment of vehicles) and the following newly
added items: intelligent public transit system (iPTS) planning, service
planning, and scheduling. This is pioneering work in China, during which
an iPTS plan is conceived and a new vehicle scheduling approach based on
AVL data is developed. Experiments during actual projects show that
vehicle schedules with high on-time probability and low cost were
compiled, while the essential input parameters such as headways and trip
times were set automatically. It is anticipated that the research fruits
and practical experiences obtained would be of great benefit in
improving service and management levels and resource use in public
transport in China and some other developing countries.

The next talk in our series will be given by:
Kangbok Lee (POSTECH)| February 16| Scheduling Heuristics for
Steelmaking Continuous Casting Processes

=== Aim & Scope ===

Cultural heritage, especially fine arts, plays an invaluable role in the
cultural, historical and economic growth of our societies. Fine arts are
primarily developed for aesthetic purposes and are mainly expressed
through painting, sculpture and architecture. In recent years, thanks to
technological improvements and drastic cost reductions, a large-scale
digitization effort has been made, which has led to an increasing
availability of large digitized fine art collections. This availability,
coupled with recent advances in pattern recognition and computer vision,
has disclosed new opportunities, especially for researchers in these
fields, to assist the art community with automatic tools to further
analyze and understand fine arts. Among other benefits, a deeper
understanding of fine arts has the potential to make them more
accessible to a wider population, both in terms of fruition and
creation, thus supporting the spread of culture.

Following the success of the first edition, organized in conjunction
with ICPR 2020, the aim of the workshop is to provide an international
forum for those wishing to present advancements in the state-of-the-art,
innovative research, ongoing projects, and academic and industrial
reports on the application of visual pattern extraction and recognition
for a better understanding and fruition of fine arts. The workshop
solicits contributions from diverse areas such as pattern recognition,
computer vision, artificial intelligence and image processing.


=== Topics ===

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Application of machine learning and deep learning to cultural heritage
and digital humanities
- Computer vision and multimedia data processing for fine arts
- Generative adversarial networks for artistic data

- 3D reconstruction of historical artifacts
- Point cloud segmentation and classification for cultural heritage
- Historical document analysis
- Content-based retrieval in the art domain
- Speech, audio and music analysis from historical archives
- Digitally enriched museum visits
- Smart interactive experiences in cultural sites
- Projects, products or prototypes for cultural heritage restoration,
preservation and fruition
- Visual question answering and artwork captioning

Registration (authors and early birds): May 06, 2022
Camera Ready Papers due: May 06, 2022
Conference: June 1-3, 2022

Instructions for authors:
-------------------------
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that
demonstrate current research related to the aforementioned topics of
interest.
All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted in
standard IEEE 2-column format. Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for
the review process. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX
format can be found at
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. All
submissions must be made electronically through EDAS at
https://edas.info/N29242.

We will consider two different categories of papers:
Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in
length to ten (10) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables,
and references. Papers exceeding ten (10) pages will not be accepted at
EDAS, nor reviewed at all.
Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in
progress without finished results. They are meant to present novel
perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and
new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including
figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter.
Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and they will be
given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference.
For more information, please see:
https://www.medcomnet.org/authors-instructions/

No-show policy
--------------
Submission to the conference implies willingness to present. No-shows will
be excluded from the proceedings. No-show papers are defined as papers
submitted by authors who subsequently did not present the paper in-person
at the technical meeting (given the current situation, remote presentations
will be allowed). Presentations by proxies are not allowed. No refund of
the paid fees can be claimed by the no-show author. Exceptions to this
policy can only be made by the Technical Program Chairs and only if there
is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events
beyond the control of the authors, and every option available to the
authors to present the paper was exhausted.

The Presburger Award recognises outstanding contributions by a young scientist in theoretical computer science, documented by a published paper or a series of published papers. It is named after Mojzesz Presburger who accomplished his ground-breaking work on decidability of the theory of addition (known today as Presburger arithmetic) as a student in 1929. The award is conferred annually by the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) at the International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP).

Nominated scientists can be at most 35 years old on January 1st of the year of the award. Thus, for the 2022 award, the nominee should be born in 1986 or later. Nominations for the Presburger Award can be submitted by any member or group of members of the theoretical computer science community, but not by the nominee themselves nor the advisors for their master's thesis or doctoral dissertation.

The Presburger Award committee for 2022 consists of Meena Mahajan (The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, chair), Mikołaj Bojanczyk (University of Warsaw) and Uriel Feige (The Weizmann Institute, Israel). Nominations, consisting of a two page justification and (links to) the relevant publications, as well as additional supporting letters, should be sent by e-mail to:

presburger-award@eatcs.org

The subject line of every nomination should start with Presburger Award 2022, and the message must be received before February 15th, 2022.

SUBMISSION

Submission is through the EasyChair conference system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cpm2022

SUBMISSION FORMAT

The authors should submit an extended abstract not exceeding 15 pages,
including figures, title, authors, affiliations, e-mail addresses, and
a short abstract. The authors are required to use the LaTeX style file
supplied by Dagstuhl (LIPIcs) with the original settings (including
the font size and the margins). References will not be counted in the
page limit. At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to
present the paper at the conference as a registered participant.

Papers must be submitted as a single file in PDF format.

Additional material intended for the referee but not for publication
in the final version—for example details of proofs—may be placed in a
clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit.

Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously
unpublished work. At the time the extended abstract is submitted to
CPM, and for the entire review period, the paper (or essentially the
same paper) should not be under review by any other conference with
published proceedings or by a scientific journal.

Experimental results described in the paper, if any, should be
replicable: the code and the data should be public and have reasonable
documentation in order to compile and produce comparable results on
the provided data.

COVID-19

We are carefully watching the situation with the Covid-19 pandemic. We
hope to conduct a physical event, but we will certainly offer the
possibility of remote participation (with a significantly lower
registration fee) for those who are unable to come due to travel
restrictions or other circumstances. In the worst case, we will move
the event online but are not planning to postpone it.

Advances in the operationalization of Sustainable Development Goal 12 with Industry 4.0 enablers

Sustainable development goals are the common agenda for the nations to save our planet. The UN SDG outline includes 17 goals with several targets for the operationalization of sustainable development by 2030. One of the essential goals in the UN agenda is goal 12 which seeks sustainable production and consumption. This goal includes different stakeholders and covers the life cycle approach of several sectors including mobility, food, agriculture, housing, and appliances. The industry 4.0 paradigm plays an essential role in sustainable manufacturing. This paradigm affects the green supply chain including green design, green manufacturing and remanufacturing, reverse logistics, and waste management. Several recent studies focused on the application of collaborative robots, digital twins, and virtual reality/augmented reality in disassembly, remanufacturing, and recycling. The objective is to optimize the operations and integrate the new technologies for a sustainable life cycle management of the products. This session aims to gather the researchers to exchange future research and recent innovations in the field of industry 4.0 driven sustainable production and consumption.

Original research papers, methodological papers, case studies, and short communications on the theme of this special session are welcomed. Topics may include but are not limited to:

Circular economy and Industry 4.0 (opportunities and challenges)

Industry 4.0 implications in recycling/ remanufacturing and End of Life treatment

Industry 4.0 applications in the product life cycle management

IoT enabled optimizations in product recovery management

Industry 4.0 and Eco-design

Industry 4.0 applications in Waste management

[DMANET] Reminder: Tomorrow, DEON Seminar Series Winter edition (January 27th) – Fenrong Liu

The Society of Deontic Logic and Normative Systems (DEON) has launched an
online seasonal seminar series designed to promote interdisciplinary
cooperation amongst scholars interested in linking the formal-logical study
of normative concepts, normative language and normative systems with
computer science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy,
organization theory and law. We view the seminar series as an opportunity
to keep in touch with the DEON community and listen in or contribute to
presentations and informal discussions on ongoing work. Everyone who is
interested in this wonderful area and its questions is welcome.

We are happy to announce that our speaker for the DEON winter seminar will
be Fenrong Liu (Professor of Logic, Tsinghua University and University of
Amsterdam).

*Date and time*: January 27, 1pm – 2:30pm CET

*Zoom link*: https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/89287004976 (Meeting ID: 892 8700
4976)


*Virtual gathering*: join us for a virtual gathering on wonder.me after the
talk! No registration needed, just follow this link:
https://www.wonder.me/r?id=3536c0e5-c486-4ff2-876a-91e569f4190b.

*Title*: From a two-level perspective on preference to deontic logic

*Abstract*: By 'two-level perspective on preference' I mean the following
two aspects: a) given a set of propositions, possibly ordered, we can
*derive* preference relations over individuals. b) Given preference
relations between individuals, we can *lift* them to an ordering over sets
of individuals. After introducing the latest studies in these two lines, I
will focus on their relevance to deontic logic. In particular, I will
illustrate with the lifted Egli-Milner order and its connection to notions
of conditional ought and conditional permission.

[DMANET] 3RD WORKSHOP ON PARAMETERIZED COMPLEXITY OF COMPUTATIONAL REASONING (PCCR 2022)

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

PCCR-2022: 3RD WORKSHOP ON PARAMETERIZED COMPLEXITY OF COMPUTATIONAL
REASONING
-- co-located with FLoC/IJCAR 2022 --

July 31 - August 1, 2022, Haifa, Israel

Web-site: https://algorithms.leeds.ac.uk/pccr2022/
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pccr2022
Submission deadline: May 10, 2022
Theme: Parameterized complexity of problems in Logic, AI, and ML.

**********************************************************************************
--------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE
---------------------------------

This workshop aims to support a fruitful exchange of ideas between the
research on parameterized complexity (PC) on one side and the research
on problems in computational reasoning (Logic and probabilistic
reasoning), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) on
the other.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Parameterized complexity of problems in Logic, AI, Computational Social
Choice, and ML.
- Recent developments in PC and the above areas plus introduction of new
problems that might benefit from the PC approach.
- Various (structural) parameteriziations such as decompositions, backdoor
sets, and hybrid parameterizations.
- Theory and practice of parameterized algorithms.

The workshop will feature invited and contributed talks with surveys
and new technical results, an open problem session, and a panel
discussion on future research directions. Apart from talks on
parameterized complexity we are also interested in presentations that
highlight structural parameters that have not been studied within the
framework of parameterized complexity so far.

--------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------------

If you would like to give a talk at the workshop, please submit a
short abstract of your talk via Easychair by the submission deadline
in PDF format. The abstract and talk can be based on published or
unpublished results, and we welcome overview and survey talks, besides
regular technical talks. Contributed talks are expected to be around
30 minutes each.

--------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES
---------------------------------

- Green light physical conference: 1 May 2022

[DMANET] Call for Presentations: Highlights of Logic, Games and Automata 2022 Inbox

*CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS*
HIGHLIGHTS 2022 will happen from June 28th to July 1st, 2022, in Paris,
France. The conference will be hosted by Université de Paris, and happen on
the site of Grands Moulins (https://osm.org/go/0BOfBjhw5--?m=).

HIGHLIGHTS 2022 is the tenth conference on Highlights of Logic, Games and
Automata. It aims at integrating the community working in these fields.
Papers from these areas are dispersed across many conferences, which makes
them difficult to follow. A visit to the Highlights conference should offer
a wide picture of the latest research in the field and a chance to meet
everybody in the community, not just those who happen to publish in one
particular proceedings volume.

We encourage you to attend and present your best work, be it already
published or not, at the Highlights conference.

Conference page: https://highlights-conference.org/2022/

*MODALITIES OF ATTENDANCE*
Highlights is an informal event which will take place on-site (barring
unforeseen circumstances), and the preferred form of participation is to
give your talk in-person. Highlights is mostly intended for a local
community of participants who can attend with a limited carbon footprint
(e.g., no plane travel). Before coming from further away, please review how
your trip and international flights are contributing to climate change. If
you do come, we encourage you to make the most of your stay in Paris, e.g.,
by also attending the ICALP'22 conference and/or using this opportunity for
a research visit (see the Highlights website for details).

If you cannot attend, you can watch the talks remotely via a video stream,
interact via text-based questions and answers, and you can also submit a
proposal for a pre-recorded talk. If it is accepted, you will provide a
video of your talk, which will be hosted online with other conference
videos and be advertised on-site. The selection process will not
discriminate between pre-recorded talks and in-person talks.

*IMPORTANT DATES*
Submission: Mars 18
Notification: April 1st
Registration: TBA
Conference: June 28-July 1st, 2022.

*SCOPE*
Representative areas include, but are not restricted to:
• algorithmic model theory
• automata theory
• databases
• game for logic and verification
• logic
• verification

*INVITED TALKS*
Dexter Kozen (USA)
Marta Kwiatkowska (UK)
Markus Lohrey (Germany)
Tatiana Starikovskaya (France)

* TUTORIALS*
S. Akshay (India)
Dana Fisman (Israel)

*IMPORTANT GUIDELINES*
Submissions should take the form of a short abstract describing the content
of the presentation and its interest. It should serve as a proposal for a
presentation. Hence, submissions should have a single author — the speaker.
They can concern any recently published, to be published, or ongoing work
of the speaker. We expect you to present your favourite result of the year,
so there should be at most one submission per speaker. The abstract should
list co-authors, if any. Optionally, an extended abstract of up to two
pages may be attached as a PDF file.

Submissions will not lead to publications. There are no formal proceedings
and we encourage submission of work presented elsewhere.
