[DMANET] Learning and Automata (LearnAut) 2022 -- ICALP 2022 Workshop, second CFP

Learning and Automata (LearnAut) -- ICALP 2022 workshop

July 4th - Paris, France and virtually

Website: https://learnaut22.github.io

Learning models defining recursive computations, like automata and formal
grammars, are the core of the field called Grammatical Inference (GI). The
expressive power of these models and the complexity of the associated
computational problems are major research topics within mathematical logic
and computer science. Historically, there has been little interaction
between the GI and ICALP communities, though recently some important
results started to bridge the gap between both worlds, including
applications of learning to formal verification and model checking, and
(co-)algebraic formulations of automata and grammar learning algorithms.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts on logic who could
benefit from grammatical inference tools, and researchers in grammatical
inference who could find in logic and verification new fruitful
applications for their methods.

We invite submissions of recent work, including preliminary research,
related to the theme of the workshop. The Program Committee will select a
subset of the abstracts for oral presentation. At least one author of each
accepted abstract is expected to represent it at the workshop (in person,
or virtually).

Note that accepted papers will be made available on the workshop website
but will not be part of formal proceedings (i.e., LearnAut is a
non-archival workshop).

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Computational complexity of learning problems involving automata and
formal languages.

- Algorithms and frameworks for learning models representing language
classes inside and outside the Chomsky hierarchy, including tree and graph
grammars.

- Learning problems involving models with additional structure, including
numeric weights, inputs/outputs such as transducers, register automata,
timed automata, Markov reward and decision processes, and semi-hidden
Markov models.

- Logical and relational aspects of learning and grammatical inference.

- Theoretical studies of learnable classes of languages/representations.

- Relations between automata or any other models from language theory and
deep learning models for sequential data.

- Active learning of finite state machines and formal languages.

- Methods for estimating probability distributions over strings, trees,
graphs, or any data used as input for symbolic models.

- Applications of learning to formal verification and (statistical) model
checking.

- Metrics and other error measures between automata or formal languages.

[DMANET] Call for Presentations: Highlights of Logic, Games and Automata 2022 (Deadline March 18th)

*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 website:* 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 about the
Highlights Extended Stay Support Scheme program (HESSS)).

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: March 18th
Notification: April 1st
HESSS applications: April 15th
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 (US)
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.

*Submission page:* https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=highlights2022

[DMANET] [CFP] Wi-DroIT 2022 - 4th International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in Internet of Things

Wi-DroIT 2022 - 4th International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in Internet of Things

May 30 – June 1, 2022
co-located with DCOSS 2022

Website: https://widroit2022.github.io/
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=widroit2022
Aims and Scope
Recently, the rapid development of Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, has highlighted a plethora of emergent applications such as infrastructure inspection and surveillance, smart agriculture, seek and rescue, parcel delivery, communications, and post-disaster recovery. In all these applications, UAVs may coexist with ground Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For example, UAVs autonomously perform remote sensing relaying the collected data by the sensors. Moreover, single or multiple UAVs can cooperatively collaborate providing services that require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints should be accounted for.
For this workshop, we seek papers that combine the design of algorithms and testbed implementations to develop the theoretical foundations for UAVs as well as the synergies with IoT devices. The numerous emergent applications raised by IoT may require an interdisciplinary approach, involving techniques from algorithm foundations and different areas, such as computer networks, artificial intelligence, concurrent, parallel and distributed computing, security, digital signal, image and sound processing.

Topics of Interest
- Autonomous sensing via UAVs
- Topology monitoring with UAVs
- Remote sensing networks via UAVs
- Communication protocols of UAVs over IoT
- Modeling and analysis of UAVs over IoT
- Precision agriculture and UAVs
- Crops monitoring in agriculture
- Bugs monitoring in agriculture
- UAVs for environmental monitoring
- Autopilot and UAS autonomy
- UAVs path planning and scheduling
- Parcel delivery using UAVs
- Cellular networks and UAVs
- Constrained and multi-objectives problems
- Sensors localization with UAVs
- UAVs tracking techniques
- Cooperative control of multiple UAVs
- Cyber-security communications and UAVs
- Optimal UAV deployment strategies
- Test-beds and experimental results for UAVs
- Single UAV applications
- Multi-UAV applications
- Energy-efficient UAV communications
- Machine learning for UAV communications

Important dates
- Abstract Submission: March 8, 2022
- Paper Submission: March 15, 2022
- Acceptance Notification: April 15, 2022
- Camera Ready: April 22, 2022

[DMANET] [Extended CFP] 4th International workshop in Artificial Intelligence and Industrial Internet-of-Things Security (AIoTS)

4th International workshop in Artificial Intelligence and Industrial
Internet-of-Things Security (AIoTS)

Co-located with ACNS2022 (June 20-23), Rome, Italy.

*** Best Paper Award: Two awards have been announced: 1) Best paper
award for the AIoTS 2022 workshop papers, and 2) Best paper award from
all the workshops, in which AIOTS workshop best paper shall compete with
other workshop's best paper. Moreover, the selected papers will be
invited to submit an extended version to the Frontiers in Communications
and Networks journal.

Workshop description:

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has got a lot of
attention, especially, for the success of deep learning to address
problems that were considered hard before. Big players such as Google,
Amazon and Baidu are exploring the application of AI in different
markets like healthcare, FinTech and autonomous vehicles. Along with AI,
other technologies such Internet-of-Things (IoT) have boosted other
areas like the case of Industry 4.0, where through the adoption of
Industrial-IoT (IIoT) into the production chain companies want to have a
smarter manufacture that can be adapted to their customers' needs. The
accelerating adoption of new technologies brings new challenges
especially associated with the cybersecurity of the applications, where
confidentiality, integrity and availability of data are important.
Security incident in IIoT impacts the safety properties since
applications interact physically with people or other assets. The
intersection of AI and cybersecurity can be seen as a two-fold
relationship. On the one hand, AI techniques can be adopted to improve
the state-of-the-art of security solutions, while on the other hand,
cybersecurity can contribute to improving the study of the security of
AI algorithms through the exploration of adversarial machine learning.
This workshop aims to open a space where new research ideas from
different areas converge into the intersection of AI, IIoT,
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and cybersecurity. We encourage researchers
and experts in the fields of AI, embedded systems, CPS and cybersecurity
to take the opportunity to use this workshop for sharing their work and
open the discussion of new ideas in this always-evolving topic.

Topics:

AIoTS aims to cover various fields of application in the area of
security and privacy within the fields of artificial intelligence and
industrial IoT. Thus, suggested topics include, but are not limited to,
the following points:

[DMANET] [CFP] Wi-DroIT 2022 - 4th International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in Internet of Things

Wi-DroIT 2022 - 4th International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in Internet of Things

May 30 – June 1, 2022
co-located with DCOSS 2022

Website: https://widroit2022.github.io/
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=widroit2022

Aims and Scope
Recently, the rapid development of Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, has highlighted a plethora of emergent applications such as infrastructure inspection and surveillance, smart agriculture, seek and rescue, parcel delivery, communications, and post-disaster recovery. In all these applications, UAVs may coexist with ground Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For example, UAVs autonomously perform remote sensing relaying the collected data by the sensors. Moreover, single or multiple UAVs can cooperatively collaborate providing services that require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints should be accounted for.
For this workshop, we seek papers that combine the design of algorithms and testbed implementations to develop the theoretical foundations for UAVs as well as the synergies with IoT devices. The numerous emergent applications raised by IoT may require an interdisciplinary approach, involving techniques from algorithm foundations and different areas, such as computer networks, artificial intelligence, concurrent, parallel and distributed computing, security, digital signal, image and sound processing.

Topics of Interest
- Autonomous sensing via UAVs
- Topology monitoring with UAVs
- Remote sensing networks via UAVs
- Communication protocols of UAVs over IoT
- Modeling and analysis of UAVs over IoT
- Precision agriculture and UAVs
- Crops monitoring in agriculture
- Bugs monitoring in agriculture
- UAVs for environmental monitoring
- Autopilot and UAS autonomy
- UAVs path planning and scheduling
- Parcel delivery using UAVs
- Cellular networks and UAVs
- Constrained and multi-objectives problems
- Sensors localization with UAVs
- UAVs tracking techniques
- Cooperative control of multiple UAVs
- Cyber-security communications and UAVs
- Optimal UAV deployment strategies
- Test-beds and experimental results for UAVs
- Single UAV applications
- Multi-UAV applications
- Energy-efficient UAV communications
- Machine learning for UAV communications

[DMANET] CALL FOR PAPERS - Seventh Workshop on Smart Service Systems (SmartSys) 2022

[We are sorry if you receive multiple copies of this CFP]

CALL FOR PAPERS - SmartSys 2022

Seventh Workshop on Smart Service Systems (SmartSys)

Co-located with the IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP 2022)

Aalto University, Espoo, Finland, June 20th/24th, 2022 http://smartsys2022.dii.unipi.it

Technology succeeds when it provides benefits to society either directly or indirectly. Understanding the social and economic impact and human-centered aspects of a smart system or technology in advance and designing the system apriori with potential value-added services help spur the discoveries of new tools, methodologies, and innovative services. Smart service systems span across various socio-technical facets comprising devices, people, organizations, environments, and technologies to sense, actuate, control, and assess the physical, cyber, and societal artifacts of the human service systems. These self-adaptive and fault-tolerant systems require the design to continuously increase the quality and productivity, compliance, and sustainability of the smart services it offers. A human-centered perspective and cognitive learning help create multi-facet value-added services and catalyze the sustained economic growth of these smart service systems. Furthermore, understanding the multi-modal sensing, control, heterogeneity, and interdependency between different physical, virtual, and logical components of such a complex system will enable the realization of new transformative smarter service systems. If successful, this can help improve the quality-of-service of the customers, quality of life of the citizens, and quality-of returns of the stakeholders and investors.

Nurturing the development of smart service systems seeks inter-and trans-disciplinary crosscutting research threads from the system and operational engineering, computer science and information systems, social and behavioral science, computational modeling and industrial engineering, etc. This workshop aims to bring together practitioners and researchers from academia and industry to disseminate and share knowledge via the discussion forum and technical presentations on smart service systems' fundamental knowledge and principles. We envision these smart systems enabling the value co-creation in sensing, actuating, data analytics, learning, cognition, and control of human-centric cyber-physical-social systems and future work.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Innovative technologies, tools, methodologies and solutions for smart service systems; example includes personalized healthcare, smart energy, smart cities, smart manufacturing, intelligent transportation, education, precision medicine and agriculture, national security etc.
* Information extraction and interpretation from sensors, actuators, smart phones, smart watch, and human.

* Context and situational-awareness of smart service systems.

* Design of people-centric services and technologies for providing better services such as food, transportation and places to live.

* Novel architectures and interoperable solutions for internet of things

* Models and methodologies for designing complex smart systems.

* Big data analytics approaches for providing better customer services, and innovating sustainable services.

* Modeling, analysis, co-production, and co-evolution of human activity, behavior and interaction for the effective adaptation and percolation of longitudinal smart service systems.

* Role of machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, pervasive computing, control theory, information and communications technologies.

* Role of formal methods in computer networks, cyber-physical systems, Internet-of-Things and machine learning.

* Design and developments of intelligent systems, intelligent enterprises and cyber-physical-social-systems.

* Design of inter-dependent complex global systems such as healthcare, smart grid, computer networks, logistics and supply-chains, financial markets etc.

* Smart infrastructure and testbed to support the integration and test of autonomous systems and innovative applications.

* AI/ML application in pervasive computing and integrated embedded devices and systems.

* AI/ML on Edge and Cloud computing services, methods, and applications.

* Design and development of research prototype of new concept and empirical validation of homogeneous and/or heterogeneous data-driven smart systems.

[DMANET] PhD position available, Lancaster University, with international funding

Topic: Reinforcement learning with structured action spaces
Supervisors: David Leslie (Lancaster) and Raphael Clifford (Bristol)
Closing date: When we have found a suitable candidate
Start date: October 2022

Reinforcement learning (RL) is machine learning technique in which
computers experiment with an environment and learn effective
behaviour. The problems in which RL are particularly effective are
sequential decision-making problems where the task to be solved
consists of observing the state of the environment, selecting an
action, incurring some cost, and moving to a new state, where the cost
and the successor state depend both on the initial state and the
action selected; the canonical mathematical formulation of these
challenges is a Markov decision process. The most famous recent
example of RL success is the game of Go, addressed by Deepmind, which
builds on a rich history in both games and individual decision-making
examples (see Sutton and Barto (2018) for a survey).

In common reinforcement learning approaches, the set of actions which
is available to the decision maker at each time instant is very
regular. In many examples it is either fixed, finite and small (e.g.
move North, South, East or West), or a simple continuous space (an
angle and speed to move at). However, in lots of problems, the action
space is more complex. In robotic soccer-playing environments, the
player can choose whether to run, turn or kick, and each of these
choices is then parameterised by the strength and/or direction; this
type of action space, with a finite number of action families each of
which is indexed by a parameter, is called a parameterised action
space.

In contrast to image processing, for which standard deep learning
methods and libraries now exist, when action sets with complex
structure are encountered, custom solutions have generally been
required. This custom approach severely hinders the ability of
non-specialists to deploy RL methods on their own problems. Thus the
focus of the PhD topic is to formulate and code modular reinforcement
learning components for general structured action spaces.
The project could take several directions, including:
• devising policy optimisation analogues of existing value learning
approaches for structured action spaces
• extending parameterised action space approaches to more general
structured action spaces
• deriving exploration strategies for parameterised action spaces to
ensure efficient experimentation
A successful candidate will have skills in both mathematics and
computer science - you will formulate methods for awkward action
spaces, implement methods in modular code, and run computer
experiments to compare methods on various problems.

To start the application process, please send your undergraduate
transcript to d.leslie@lancaster.ac.uk with a brief note about why
this project interests you.

[DMANET] CFP on Quantum OR at EURO Conference 2022

Dear colleagues,

Quantum Optimization approaches define new promising resolution
approaches for combinatorial optimization problems that could be more
time efficient that classical algorithms, since programmable noisy
intermediate-scale quantum optimizers with more than hundred of quantum
bits are now available.

After the early publications of Grover in the 90s, there is now new
trend of quantum publications defining new algorithms. These methods
could be considered as a new paradigm similar but quite different
approach than the well-known simulated annealing. This class of quantum
meta-heuristic based approaches defined a new way in including both
search space exploration, diversification and local search.

Because Quantum OR draw attention of numerous OR researchers, we have
decided to propose a new session dedicated on Quantum OR at the 32nd
EURO Conference that takes place in Aalto Universityin July 2022.

https://euro2022espoo.com/ <https://euro2022espoo.com/>

We would invite you to submit any kind of contributions related to this
"quantum" session using the following code *1b7d916f*.

Note that the due date is March 25^th .

Best regards

Eric Bourreau (LIRMM – Montpellier – France)
