[DMANET] 4th WORKSHOP ON PARAMETERIZED COMPLEXITY OF COMPUTATIONAL REASONING

******************************************************************************************* 4th WORKSHOP ON PARAMETERIZED COMPLEXITY OF COMPUTATIONAL REASONING (PCCR 2026) -- co-located with FLoC 2026 -- July 24-25, 2026, Lisbon, Portugal Website: PCCR26 <https://algorithms.leeds.ac.uk/pccr2026/> Submission link: HotCrp <https://submissions.floc26.org/pccr> Submission deadline: May 15, 2026 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, Artificial Intelligence, Computational Social Choice, and Machine Learning. - 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 HotCrp <https://submissions.floc26.org/pcrr> 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 The abstract and talk can be based on published or unpublished results, and we welcome overview and survey talks, besides regular technical talks.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 ------------------------------------------ - Early registration ends: 15 May 2026 - Workshop paper submission deadline: 10 May 2026 (HotCrp <https://submissions.floc26.org/pccr>) - Workshop accepted paper notifications: 12 May 2026 ----------------------------------- WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION ---------------------------------- - Sebastian Ordyniak, University of Leeds, United Kingdom ( sordyniak@gmail.com) - Fahad Panolan, University of Leeds, United Kingdom (F.Panolan@leeds.ac.uk) ********************************************************** * * Contributions to be spread via DMANET are submitted to * * DMANET@zpr.uni-koeln.de * * Replies to a message carried on DMANET should NOT be * addressed to DMANET but to the original sender.
