*** Call for Workshop Papers ***

The 20th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2015)

6-9 July 2015, Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus

http://ieee-iscc.org/2015

*** Final Submission Deadline: March 30th, 2015 (firm) ***


ISCC 2015, in its 20th anniversary, will provide an insight into the unique
world stemming from the interaction between the fields of computers and
communications. ISCC 2015 will provide an international technical forum for
experts from industry and academia to exchange ideas and present results of
ongoing research in most state-of-the-art areas of computer and
communications. This year, special focus will be on the challenging issues
and opportunities related to the computing, sensing and communication in
the era of the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing and Big Data.

The ISSC 2015 workshops cover topics such as 5G, Internet of Things,
Software-Defined Networking, Big Data, Cloud Computing, M2M
communications or Smart Grid. The purpose of these workshops is to
provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly
more sharply focused way than at the conference itself. All papers included
in the ISCC 2015 workshops, will be submitted for inclusion in the
conference proceedings published by IEEE.

ISCC 2015 will feature the following workshops:

Management of Cloud and Smart city systems (MoCS 2015)

• Performance Evaluation of Communications in Distributed Systems
and Web based Service Architectures (PEDISWESA 2015)

• Smart City and Ubiquitous Computing Applications (SCUCA 2015)

• Distributed Mobile Systems & Services (DMSS 2015)

• A 5G Wireless Odyssey: 2020 (5G)

http://www.etaps.org/2016/

Call for Satellite Events

-- ABOUT ETAPS --

The European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software
(ETAPS) is the primary European forum for academic and industrial
researchers working on topics relating to Software Science. ETAPS is
an annual event which takes place in Europe each spring since 1998.

The nineteenth conference, ETAPS 2016, will take place April 2-8, 2016
in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

ETAPS main conferences will take place on April 4-7, 2016. They are:

+ ESOP: European Symposium on Programming,
+ FASE: Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering,
+ FOSSACS: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures,
+ POST: Principles of Security and Trust,
+ TACAS: Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of
Systems.

-- SATELLITE EVENTS --

The ETAPS 2016 organizing committee invites proposals for satellite
events (workshops etc.) that will complement the main
conferences. They should fall within the scope of ETAPS. This
encompasses all aspects of the system development process, including
specification, design, implementation, analysis and improvement, as
well as the languages, methodologies and tools which support these
activities, covering a spectrum from practically-motivated theory to
soundly-based practice. Satellite events provide an opportunity to
discuss and report on emerging research approaches and practical
experience relevant to theory and practice of software.

ETAPS 2016 satellite events will be held immediately before and after
the main conferences, on April 2-3 and April 8, 2016.

-- ARRANGEMENTS FOR SATELLITE EVENTS --

The organizers of an ETAPS 2016 satellite are expected to:

+ create and maintain a website for the event,
+ form a PC, produce a call for papers for the event (if appropriate),
+ advertise the event through specialist mailing lists etc. to
complement the publicity of ETAPS,
+ review the submissions received and make acceptance decisions,
+ prepare an informal (pre)proceedings for the event (if appropriate),
+ prepare the event's program complying with any scheduling constraints
defined by the ETAPS 2016 organizing committee,
+ prepare and organize the publication of a formal (post-)proceedings
(if desired).

The ETAPS 2016 organizing committee will:

+ promote the event on the website and in the publicity material of
ETAPS 2016,
+ integrate the event's program into the overall program of the
conference,
+ arrange registration for the event as a component of registration
for ETAPS, collect a participation fee from the registrants,
+ produce a compilation USB memory stick of the informal (pre-)
proceedings of the satellite events of ETAPS 2016 and distribute
this to the registrants,
+ provide the event with a meeting room of an appropriate size,
A/V equipment, coffee breaks and possibly lunch(es).

As a rule, ETAPS will not contribute toward the travel or
accommodation costs of invited speakers or organizers of satellite
events.

-- SUBMISSION OF SATELLITE EVENT PROPOSALS --

Researchers and practitioners wishing to organize satellite events are
invited to submit proposals to the workshop co-chairs Julien Schmaltz
and Erik de Vink using this web form.

A proposal should not exceed two pages and should include:

[Caml-list] TABLEAUX 2015 - Call for Papers

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

TABLEAUX 2015

23rd International Conference on Automated Reasoning with
Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods

Wroclaw, Poland, September 21-24, 2015

http://tableaux2015.ii.uni.wroc.pl/


GENERAL INFORMATION
TABLEAUX 2015 is the 23rd in the series of international meetings
on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods,
and will be held in Wroclaw, Poland, during September 21-24, 2015.

TABLEAUX 2015 will be co-located with the 10th International Symposium
on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2015).

The computer science institute of Wroclaw has a large experience
in hosting international conferences. It has hosted
the IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS 2007),
the 23rd International Conference on Automated Deduction
(CADE 2011), and the 22nd European Symposium on Algorithms (ALGO 2014).

TOPICS
Tableaux methods offer a convenient and flexible set of tools
for automated reasoning in classical logic, extensions of classical
logic, and a large number of non-classical logics. For large
groups of logics, tableaux methods can be generated automatically.
Areas of application include verification of software and computer
systems, deductive databases, knowledge representation and its required
inference engines, teaching, and system diagnosis.
The conference series aims to bring together researchers interested in all
aspects of tableaux - theoretical foundations, applications,
and implementation techniques.

* tableaux methods for classical and non-classical logics
(e.g. modal, temporal, description, intuitionistic, substructural,
fuzzy, paraconsistent logics) and their proof theoretic
foundations.
* related methods (model elimination, model checking, connection
methods, resolution, BDDs).
* sequent calculi for classical and non-classical logics,
as tools for proof search and proof representation.
* flexible, easily extendable, light weight methods for theorem proving.
* novel types of calculi for theorem proving and verification
in classical and non-classical logics.
* systems, tools, implementations and applications (provers,
logical frameworks, model checkers, ... ).
* implementation techniques (data structures, efficient algorithms,
performance measurement, extendibility, ... ).
* extensions of tableaux procedures with conflict-driven learning,
generation of proofs; compact (or humanly readable) representation
of proofs.
* decision procedures, theoretically optimal procedures.
* applications of automated deduction to mathematics, software
development, protocol verification, or teaching.

TABLEAUX 2015 also welcomes papers describing applications of tableaux
procedures to real world examples. Such papers should be tailored to
the tableaux community and should focus on the role of reasoning,
and logical aspects of the solution.

SUBMISSIONS
Submissions are invited in two categories:

A Research papers, which describe original theoretical research,
original algorithms, or applications, with length
up to 15 pages.
B System descriptions, with length up to 10 pages.

Submissions will be reviewed by the PC, possibly will help of
external reviewers, taking into account readability, relevance
and originality.

For category A, theoretical results and algorithms must be original,
and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions will be reviewed
taking into account correctness, theoretical prettyness, and possible
implementability.

For category B submissions, a working implementation
must be available on the internet, which includes sources.
The aim of a system description is to make the system available
in such a way that users can use it, understand it, and build on it.

Accepted papers in both categories will be published in the conference
proceedings (within the LNAI series of Springer).

For accepted papers in both of the categories, at least one author
is required to attend the conference and present the paper.

Further information and instructions about submissions can be found
on the conference website http://tableaux2015.ii.uni.wroc.pl

IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract submission deadline: May 8th, 2015
Paper submission deadline: May 15th, 2015

Abbreviated instructions for authors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* By Friday, 27 February 2015, 23:59 UTC-11, submit a full paper of
at most 12 pages (6 pages for an Experience Report) in standard ACM
conference format, including bibliography, figures, and appendices.

The deadlines will be strictly enforced and papers exceeding the page
limits will be summarily rejected.

* Authors have the option to attach supplementary material to a
submission, on the understanding that reviewers may choose not to
look at it.

* Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy, as
explained on the web at

http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication

* Authors of resubmitted (but previously rejected) papers have the
option to attach an annotated copy of the reviews of their previous
submission(s), explaining how they have addressed these previous
reviews in the present submission. If a reviewer identifies
him/herself as a reviewer of this previous submission and wishes to
see how his/her comments have been addressed, the program chair will
communicate to this reviewer the annotated copy of his/her previous
review. Otherwise, no reviewer will read the annotated copies of
the previous reviews.

Overall, a submission will be evaluated according to its relevance,
correctness, significance, originality, and clarity. It should
explain its contributions in both general and technical terms, clearly
identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is
significant, and comparing it with previous work. The technical
content should be accessible to a broad audience. Functional Pearls
and Experience Reports are separate categories of papers that need not
report original research results and must be marked as such at the
time of submission. Detailed guidelines on both categories are on the
conference web site.

Proceedings will be published by ACM Press. Authors of accepted
submissions will have a choice of one of three ways to manage their
publication rights. These choices are described at

http://authors.acm.org/main.html

Presentations will be videotaped and released online if the presenter
consents. The proceedings will be freely available for download from
the ACM Digital Library from one week before the start of the
conference until two weeks after the conference.

======== TFP 2015 ===========

16th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
June 3-5, 2015
Inria Sophia Antipolis, France
http://tfp2015.inria.fr/


The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an
international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of
functional programming, taking a broad view of current and future
trends in the area. It aspires to be a lively environment for
presenting the latest research results, and other contributions (see
below). Authors of draft papers will be invited to submit revised
papers based on the feedback receive at the symposium. A
post-symposium refereeing process will then select a subset of these
articles for formal publication.

The selected revised papers will be published as a Springer Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (www.springer.com/lncs) volume.

TFP 2015 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming
events. TFP 2015 will be accompanied by the International Workshop on
Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will take
place on June 2nd.

The TFP symposium is the heir of the successful series of Scottish
Functional Programming Workshops. Previous TFP symposia were held in
* Edinburgh (Scotland) in 2003;
* Munich (Germany) in 2004;
* Tallinn (Estonia) in 2005;
* Nottingham (UK) in 2006;
* New York (USA) in 2007;
* Nijmegen (The Netherlands) in 2008;
* Komarno (Slovakia) in 2009;
* Oklahoma (USA) in 2010;
* Madrid (Spain) in 2011;
* St. Andrews (UK) in 2012;
* Provo (Utah, USA) in 2013;
* and in Soesterberg (The Netherlands) in 2014.
For further general information about TFP please see the TFP homepage.
(http://www.tifp.org/).


== INVITED SPEAKER ==

TFP is pleased to announce a talk by the following invited speaker:

* Laurence Rideau is a researcher at INRIA and is interested in the
semantics of programming languages , the formal methods, and the
verification tools for programs and mathematical proofs. She
participated in the beginnings of the Compcert project (certified
compiler), and is part of the Component Mathematical team in the
MSR-INRIA joint laboratory, who performed the formalization of the
Feit-Thompson theorem successfully.

Thirty years ago, computers barged in mathematics with the famous
proof of the Four Color Theorem. Initially limited to simple
calculation, their role is now expanding to the reasoning whose
complexity is beyond the capabilities of most humans, as the proof of
the classification of finite simple groups. We present our large
collaborative adventure around the formalization of the Feit-Thompson
theorem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feit%E2%80%93Thompson_theorem)
that is a first step to the classification of finite groups
and that uses a palette of methods and techniques that range from
formal logic to software (and mathematics) engineering.


== SCOPE ==

The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various
routes. As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore
identify the following five article categories. High-quality articles
are solicited in any of these categories:

Research Articles: leading-edge, previously unpublished research work
Position Articles: on what new trends should or should not be
Project Articles: descriptions of recently started new projects
Evaluation Articles: what lessons can be drawn from a finished project
Overview Articles: summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject

Articles must be original and not simultaneously submitted for
publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of
functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or
experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming
techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the
symposium.

Topics suitable for the symposium include:

Functional programming and multicore/manycore computing
Functional programming in the cloud
High performance functional computing
Extra-functional (behavioural) properties of functional programs
Dependently typed functional programming
Validation and verification of functional programs
Debugging and profiling for functional languages
Functional programming in different application areas:
security, mobility, telecommunications applications, embedded
systems,
global computing, grids, etc.
Interoperability with imperative programming languages
Novel memory management techniques
Program analysis and transformation techniques
Empirical performance studies
Abstract/virtual machines and compilers for functional languages
(Embedded) domain specific languages
New implementation strategies
Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area

If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of
TFP, please contact the TFP 2015 program chair, Manuel Serrano.


== BEST PAPER AWARDS ==

To reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best paper
accepted for the formal proceedings.

TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students,
acknowledging that students are almost by definition part of new
subject trends. A student paper is one for which the authors state
that the paper is mainly the work of students, the students are listed
as first authors, and a student would present the paper. A prize for
the best student paper is awarded each year.

In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the
best paper happens to be a student paper, that paper will then receive
both prizes.

== SPONSORS ==

TFP is financially supported by <to be announced>


== PAPER SUBMISSIONS ==

Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on a
lightweight peer review process of extended abstracts (4 to 10 pages
in length) or full papers (20 pages). The submission must clearly
indicate which category it belongs to: research, position, project,
evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate which authors
are research students, and whether the main author(s) are students. A
draft paper for which ALL authors are students will receive additional
feedback by one of the PC members shortly after the symposium has
taken place.

We use EasyChair for the refereeing process. Papers must be submitted at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp2015

Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS
style. For more information about formatting please consult the
Springer LNCS web site:

[Caml-list] FARM 2015 Workshop - 1st call for papers and demos

FARM 2015

3rd ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on
Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design

Vancouver, Canada, 5 September, 2015

The ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art,
Music, Modelling and Design (FARM) gathers together people
who are harnessing functional techniques in the pursuit of
creativity and expression.

Functional Programming has emerged as a mainstream software
development paradigm, and its artistic and creative use is
booming. A growing number of software toolkits, frameworks
and environments for art, music and design now employ
functional programming languages and techniques. FARM is a
forum for exploration and critical evaluation of these
developments, for example to consider potential benefits of
greater consistency, tersity, and closer mapping to a
problem domain.

FARM encourages submissions from across art, craft and
design, including textiles, visual art, music, 3D sculpture,
animation, GUIs, video games, 3D printing and architectural
models, choreography, poetry, and even VLSI layouts, GPU
configurations, or mechanical engineering designs. The
language used need not be purely functional ("mostly
functional" is fine), and may be manifested as a domain
specific language or tool. Theoretical foundations, language
design, implementation issues, and applications in industry
or the arts are all within the scope of the workshop.

Submissions are invited in two categories:

* Full papers

5 to 12 pages using the ACM SIGPLAN template. FARM 2015
is an interdisciplinary conference, so a wide range of
approaches are encouraged and we recognize that the
appropriate length of a paper may vary considerably
depending on the approach. However, all submissions must
propose an original contribution to the FARM theme, cite
relevant previous work, and apply appropriate research
methods.


* Demo abstracts

Demo abstracts should describe the demonstration and its
context, connecting it with the themes of FARM. A demo
could be in the form of a short (10-20 minute) tutorial,
presentation of work-in-progress, an exhibition of some
work, or even a performance. Abstracts should be no
longer than 2 pages, using the ACM SIGPLAN template and
will be subject to a light-touch peer review.

If you have any questions about what type of contributions
that might be suitable, or anything else regarding
submission or the workshop itself, please contact the
organisers at:

farm-2015@easychair.org


KEY DATES:

Full Paper and Demo Abstract submission Deadline: 17 May
Author Notification: 26 June
Camera Ready: 19 July
Workshop: 5 September



SUBMISSION

All papers and demo abstracts must be in portable document
format (PDF), using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. The
text should be in a 9-point font in two columns. The
submission itself will be via EasyChair:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=farm2015

PUBLICATION

Accepted papers will be included in the formal proceedings
published by ACM Press and will also be made available
through the the ACM Digital Library; see
http://authors.acm.org/main.cfm for information on the
options available to authors. Authors are encouraged to
submit auxiliary material for publication along with their
paper (source code, data, videos, images, etc.); authors
retain all rights to the auxiliary material.

1-7 August 2015, Berlin
http://cade-25.info

================================================================

Workshops
- Bridging the Gap between Human and Automated Reasoning (Bridging)
- Automated Theorem Proving meets Interactive Theorem Proving (AMI)
- International Workshop on Confluence (IWC)
- Deduktionstreffen 2015 (DT)
- The Fourth International Workshop on Proof eXchange for Theorem

******************************************************************************
Bridging the Gap between Human and Automated Reasoning (Bridging)
=================================================================
http://ratiolog.uni-koblenz.de/bridging.html

Human reasoning or the psychology of deduction is well researched in
cognitive psychology and in cognitive science. There are a lot of
findings which are based on experimental data about reasoning tasks,
among others models for the Wason selection task or the suppression
task discussed by Byrne and others. This research is supported also by
brain researchers, who aim at localizing reasoning processes within
the brain. Automated deduction, on the other hand, is mainly focusing
on the automated proof search in logical calculi. And indeed there
is tremendous success during the last decades. Recently a coupling of
the areas of cognitive science and automated reasoning is addressed
in several approaches. For example there is increasing interest in
modeling human reasoning within automated reasoning systems including
modeling with answer set programming, deontic logic or abductive logic
programming. There are also various approaches within AI research.

This workshop is intended to get an overview of existing approaches and
make a step towards a cooperation between computational logic and
cognitive science. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
the following:
- limits and differences between automated and human reasoning
- psychology of deduction
- common sense reasoning
- logics modeling human cognition
- modeling human reasoning using automated reasoning systems
- non-monotonic, defeasible, and classical reasoning and possible explanations
for human reasoning
- application fields of automated reasoning in the interaction with human
reasoners

******************************************************************************
Automated Theorem Proving meets Interactive Theorem Proving (AMI)
=================================================================
http://ami2015.it.uu.se/

AIMS AND SCOPE
==============
The AMI workshop provides an informal platform for researchers
interested in automated theorem proving (ATP) and interactive
theorem proving (ITP), for instance, developers and users of ATP,
SMT and similar systems, and developers and users of ITP systems
such as Coq, HOL, Isabelle or Mizar. Its aim is the exchange of
experiences and ideas for pushing these technologies further into the
mainstream: to explore methods or tools from ATP that could be
benefit ITP and vice versa; to advance the integration and
convergence of these technologies, e.g. by considering tools and
techniques from mathematics, programming languages or AI; to bring
ATP and ITP work flows closer to mathematical and engineering
practice.

WORKSHOP TOPICS include
=======================
- proof automation for ITP: from tactics and decision procedures via
FOL to fragments of CoC and HOL; ATP with types and data types;
- ATP with large data sets (as generated by ITP systems): machine
learning and other AI approaches, proof management;
- theory hierarchies in ITP/ATP systems: their design and management;
- ideas and techniques from mathematics and programming;
- use and user experience: ATP/ITP uses and integrations in fields
like formalised mathematics or hardware/software verification.

SUBMISSIONS
===========
To foster discussions, we ask for submissions of extended abstracts of
2 to 4 pages as well as for full papers of at most 15 pages. If
submissions are based on previously published material that should be
stated clearly. Presentations will be selected based on the quality of
their contribution and their relevance to the workshop. All accepted
submissions will be published online at the workshop web site. Quality
of submissions permitting, we are planning their considation for a
journal special issue after the workshop. Papers must be submitted
via EasyChair.

International Workshop on Confluence (IWC)
==========================================
http://www.csl.sri.com/users/tiwari/iwc2015/

Confluence provides a general notion of determinism and has been
conceived as one of the central properties of rewriting systems.
Confluence relates to many topics of rewriting (completion, modularity,
termination, commutation, etc.) and had been investigated in many
formalisms of rewriting such as first-order rewriting, lambda-calculi,
higher-order rewriting, constraint rewriting, conditional rewriting, etc.
Recently there is a renewed interest in confluence research, resulting
in new techniques, tool support, confluence competition, and
certification as well as in new applications. The scope of the workshop
is all these aspects of confluence and related topics.

The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers
interested in the topic of confluence to exchange and share new
developments in the field. The workshop will enable discussion on
theoretical results, new problems, applications, implementations and
benchmarks, and share the current state-of-the-art on the
development of confluence tools.

Specific topics of interest include:
- confluence and related properties (unique normal forms,
commutation, ground confluence)
- completion
- critical pair criteria
- decidability issues
- complexity issues
- system descriptions
- certification
- applications of confluence

The Fourth International Workshop on Proof eXchange for Theorem Proving (PxTP)
==============================================================================
http://pxtp15.lri.fr

Background
==========
The PxTP workshop brings together researchers working on various aspects
of communication, integration, and cooperation between reasoning systems
and formalisms.

The progress in computer-aided reasoning, both automated and interactive,
during the past decades, made it possible to build deduction tools that
are increasingly more applicable to a wider range of problems and are
able to tackle larger problems progressively faster. In recent years,
cooperation of such tools in larger verification environments has
demonstrated the potential to reduce the amount of manual intervention.
Examples include the Sledgehammer tool providing an interface between
Isabelle and (untrusted) automated provers, and also collaboration of
the HOL Light and Isabelle systems in the formal proof of the Kepler
conjecture.

Cooperation between reasoning systems relies on availability of
theoretical formalisms and practical tools to exchange problems,
proofs, and models. The PxTP workshop strives to encourage such
cooperation by inviting contributions on suitable integration,
translation and communication methods, standards, protocols,
and programming interfaces. The workshop welcomes the interested
developers of automated and interactive theorem proving tools,
developers of combined systems, developers and users of translation
tools and interfaces, and producers of standards and protocols.
We are interested both in success stories and in descriptions
of the current bottlenecks and proposals for improvement.

Topics
======
Topics of interest for this workshop include all aspects of
cooperation between reasoning tools, whether automatic or
interactive. More specifically, some suggested topics are:
- applications that integrate reasoning tools (ideally
with certification of the result);
- translations between logics, proof systems, models;
- distribution of proof obligations among heterogeneous
reasoning tools;
- algorithms and tools for checking and importing (replaying,
reconstructing) proofs;
- proposed formats for expressing problems and solutions for
different classes of logic solvers (SAT, SMT, QBF, first-order
logic, higher-order logic, typed logic, rewriting, etc.);
- meta-languages, logical frameworks, communication methods,
standards, protocols, and APIs connected to problems, proofs,
and models;
- comparison, refactoring, and optimization of proofs;
- practical experiences, case studies, feasibility studies;
- applications relying on importing proofs from automatic theorem
provers, such as certified static analysis, proof-carrying code,
or certified compilation;
- data structures and algorithms for improved proof production in
solvers (e.g., efficient proof representations).

Submissions
===========
Researchers interested in participating are invited to submit either
an extended abstract (up to 8 pages) or a regular paper (up to 15
pages). Submissions will be refereed by the program committee, which
will select a balanced program of high-quality contributions. Short
submissions that could stimulate fruitful discussion at the workshop
are particularly welcome. We expect that one author of every accepted
paper will present their work at the workshop.

Submitted papers should describe previously unpublished work, and must
be prepared using the LaTeX EPTCS class (http://style.eptcs.org/).
Papers will be submitted via EasyChair, at the PxTP'2015 workshop page
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pxtp2015). Accepted full
papers will appear in an EPTCS volume.

International Workshop on Quantification (QUANTIFY 2015)
========================================================
http://fmv.jku.at/quantify15/

Quantifiers play an important role in language extensions of many logics.
The use of quantifiers often allows for a more succinct encoding as it
would be possible without quantifiers. However, the introduction of
quantifiers affects the complexity of the extended formalism in general.
Consequently, theoretical results established for the quantifier-free
formalism may not directly be transferred to the quantified case. Further,
techniques successfully implemented in reasoning tools for quantifier-free
formulas cannot directly be lifted to a quantified version.

The goal of the 2nd International Workshop on Quantification (QUANTIFY 2015)
is to bring together researchers who investigate the impact of quantification
from a theoretical as well as from a practical point of view. Quantification
is a topic in different research areas such as in SAT in terms of QBF, in CSP
in terms of QCSP, in SMT, etc. This workshop has the aim to provide an
interdisciplinary forum where researchers of various fields may exchange
their experiences.

IMPORTANT DATES
===============
Please follow http://fmv.jku.at/quantify15/ for any updates.

May 8 2015: paper submission
May 29 2015: notification of acceptance
June 23 2015: camera-ready version of papers
August 1 2015: workshop

TOPICS OF INTEREST
==================
The workshop is concerned with all theoretical and practical
aspects of quantification in logics such as QBF, QCSP, SMT,
and theorem proving. The topics of interest include
(but are not limited to):

- Complexity results
- Encodings with and without quantification and comparisons thereof
- Applications of quantification
- Implementations of reasoning tools
- Case studies and experimental results
- Intersections between the different research communities
working on quantification
- Surveys of state-of-the-art approaches to handling quantification

SUBMISSION OF EXTENDED ABSTRACTS
================================
Submissions of extended abstracts are solicited and will be managed via
Easychair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=quantify15

Submitted papers should be formatted in either LNCS format or a
standard LaTeX article format (paper size A4, font size 11pt).

We solicit two types of submissions:
1. Talk abstracts (maximum two pages, excluding references)
describing already published results.
2. Full papers (maximum 14 pages, excluding references) on novel,
unpublished work.

The talk abstracts of category 1 should include a relevant
bibliography of related work and an outline of the planned talk.
For this category, we explicitly advocate talks which survey results
already published, maybe in multiple articles or presentations
capturing the commonalities and differences
of various quantification approaches (perhaps even interdisciplinary).

Each submission will be assessed by the program committee and the
workshop organizers with respect to novelty, originality, and scope.

Submissions related to completed work as well as work in progress are
welcome. Authors are encouraged to provide additional material such as
source code of tools, experimental data, benchmarks and related
publications in an appendix or a related webpage. The additional
material will be considered at the discretion of the reviewers.

Previously published work or extensions thereof may be submitted to the
workshop but that case has to be explicitly stated in the submitted
paper. This regulation also applies to work which is currently under
review elsewhere.

Since the workshop does not have official proceedings, work related to
accepted submissions can be resubmitted to other venues without
restrictions.

Authors of accepted abstracts and papers are expected to give a talk at
the workshop.

International Workshop on Logical Frameworks and Meta-Languages:
Theory and Practice (LFMTP)
================================================================
http://lfmtp.org/workshops/2015/

Logical frameworks and meta-languages form a common substrate for
representing, implementing, and reasoning about a wide variety of
deductive systems of interest in logic and computer science. Their
design and implementation and their use in reasoning tasks ranging
from the correctness of software to the properties of formal
computational systems have been the focus of considerable research
over the last two decades. This workshop will bring together
designers, implementors, and practitioners to discuss various aspects
impinging on the structure and utility of logical frameworks, including
the treatment of variable binding, inductive and co-inductive reasoning
techniques and the expressivity and lucidity of the reasoning process.

LFMTP 2015 will provide researchers a forum to present state-of-the art
techniques and discuss progress in areas such as the following:
- Encoding and reasoning about the meta-theory of programming
languages and related formally specified systems.
- Theoretical and practical issues concerning the treatment of
variable binding, especially the representation of, and reasoning
about, datatypes defined from binding signatures.
- Logical treatments of inductive and co-inductive definitions and
associated reasoning techniques.
- New theory contributions: canonical and substructural
frameworks, contextual frameworks, proof-theoretic foundations
supporting binders, functional programming over logical
frameworks, homotopy type theory.
- Applications of logical frameworks, e.g., in proof-carrying
architectures such as proof-carrying authorization.
- Techniques for programming with binders in functional
programming languages such as Haskell, OCaml, or Agda and
logic programming languages such as lambda Prolog or Alpha-
Prolog.

CADE-25 Poster Session and Task-Force towards an Encyclopedia of Proof
Systems (EPS)
======================================================================
http://proofsystem.github.io/Encyclopedia

Aims and Scope
==============
In this jubilee edition of CADE, we shall commemorate the multitude of
proof systems that form the theoretical foundations for automated
deduction. To achieve this goal, this alternative workshop proposes to
bring the whole community together in a task-force to produce a concise
encyclopedia of proof systems. Every entry in this encyclopedia will
follow a given template and will preferably be exactly one page long,
displaying the inference rules of the proof system and possibly a few
clarifying remarks. The one-page encyclopedia entries will be
displayed as posters during CADE (the Conference on Automated
Deduction).

Submission Instructions
=======================
Please visit the task-force's website for instructions:
http://proofsystem.github.io/Encyclopedia

Participation in CADE is not required for submission,
but is strongly encouraged.

Important Dates
===============
- Submission Deadline: 19th of April 2015
- Notification: 15th of May 2015
(Submit early!!)

Publication Plans
=================
When the encyclopedia reaches a broad coverage of various proof systems,
its publication as a book will be sought. However, this is not yet
guaranteed and details are still undefined.

[Caml-list] First Call for Papers, PxTP 2015

The Fourth International Workshop on
Proof eXchange for Theorem Proving (PxTP)

http://pxtp15.lri.fr/

August 2-3, 2015, Berlin, Germany

associated with CADE 2015

Important dates

* Abstract submission: Thu, May 7, 2015
* Paper submission: Thu, May 14, 2015
* Notification: Tue, June 16, 2015
* Camera ready versions due: Thu, June 25, 2015
* Workshop: August 2-3, 2015

Background

The PxTP workshop brings together researchers working on various aspects
of communication, integration, and cooperation between reasoning systems
and formalisms.

The progress in computer-aided reasoning, both automated and interactive,
during the past decades, made it possible to build deduction tools that
are increasingly more applicable to a wider range of problems and are
able to tackle larger problems progressively faster. In recent years,
cooperation of such tools in larger verification environments has
demonstrated the potential to reduce the amount of manual intervention.
Examples include the Sledgehammer tool providing an interface between
Isabelle and (untrusted) automated provers, and also collaboration of
the HOL Light and Isabelle systems in the formal proof of the Kepler
conjecture.

Cooperation between reasoning systems relies on availability of
theoretical formalisms and practical tools to exchange problems,
proofs, and models. The PxTP workshop strives to encourage such
cooperation by inviting contributions on suitable integration,
translation and communication methods, standards, protocols,
and programming interfaces. The workshop welcomes the interested
developers of automated and interactive theorem proving tools,
developers of combined systems, developers and users of translation
tools and interfaces, and producers of standards and protocols.
We are interested both in success stories and in descriptions
of the current bottlenecks and proposals for improvement.

Topics

Topics of interest for this workshop include all aspects of
cooperation between reasoning tools, whether automatic or
interactive. More specifically, some suggested topics are:

* applications that integrate reasoning tools (ideally
with certification of the result);

* translations between logics, proof systems, models;

* distribution of proof obligations among heterogeneous
reasoning tools;

* algorithms and tools for checking and importing (replaying,
reconstructing) proofs;

* proposed formats for expressing problems and solutions for
different classes of logic solvers (SAT, SMT, QBF, first-order
logic, higher-order logic, typed logic, rewriting, etc.);

* meta-languages, logical frameworks, communication methods,
standards, protocols, and APIs connected to problems, proofs,
and models;

* comparison, refactoring, and optimization of proofs;

* practical experiences, case studies, feasibility studies;

* applications relying on importing proofs from automatic theorem
provers, such as certified static analysis, proof-carrying code,
or certified compilation;

* data structures and algorithms for improved proof production in
solvers (e.g., efficient proof representations).

Submissions

Researchers interested in participating are invited to submit either
an extended abstract (up to 8 pages) or a regular paper (up to 15
pages). Submissions will be refereed by the program committee, which
will select a balanced program of high-quality contributions. Short
submissions that could stimulate fruitful discussion at the workshop
are particularly welcome. We expect that one author of every accepted
paper will present their work at the workshop.

Submitted papers should describe previously unpublished work, and must
be prepared using the LaTeX EPTCS class (http://style.eptcs.org/).
Papers will be submitted via EasyChair, at the PxTP'2015 workshop page
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pxtp2015). Accepted full
papers will appear in an EPTCS volume.

[Caml-list] CONTEXT 2015: Second Call for Papers and Workshop Proposals

*** Second Call for Papers and Workshop Proposals ***

The 9th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling
and Using Context (CONTEXT 2015)

2–6 November 2015, Lordos Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus

http://cyprusconferences.org/context2015


The CONTEXT conferences are the world’s prime forum for presentation and
exchange of insights and cutting-edge results from the wide range of
disciplines concerned with context.

The main theme of CONTEXT 2015 is “Back to the roots”, focusing on the
importance of interdisciplinary cooperations and studies of the phenomenon.
Context, context modeling and context comprehension are central topics in
linguistics, philosophy, sociology, artificial intelligence, computer science,
art, law, organizational sciences, cognitive science, psychology, etc. and are
also essential for the effectiveness of modern, complex and distributed
software systems.

CONTEXT 2015 invites high-quality contributions from researchers and
practitioners in foundational studies, applications and evaluations of
modeling and use of context in all relevant fields. Areas of interest include,
but are not limited to, the role of context seen from different perspectives in:

• Agent-based architectures
• Ambient intelligence
• Cognition and perception by humans and artifacts
• Context-aware and situated systems
• Context modeling tools
• Communication and dialogue
• Data analysis and visualization
• Decision making
• Discourse comprehension and representation
• Engineering, e.g., in transport networks, industrial plants etc.
• Experimental philosophy and experimental pragmatics
• (Formal) models of context
• Human-computer interaction
• Knowledge representation
• Language acquisition and processing
• Learning, knowledge management and sharing
• Logic and reasoning
• Machine learning
• Ontology/ies
• Semantics and Pragmatics
• Smart and interactive spaces
• Understanding art, images, music and theatre

Proceedings

Accepted papers and poster abstracts will be published in a volume of the
Springer LNAI series.

Submission format

Submissions may be either full papers of up to 14 pages (in Springer LNCS
format) or poster abstracts of 4–6 pages. Full papers may be accepted as such
with oral presentation, or their authors may be invited to prepare a poster
abstract. Detailed formatting and submissions instructions will be provided.

Conference events

CONTEXT 2015 will include paper presentation sessions, a poster and
demonstration session, two days of workshops, and a doctoral consortium as
well as keynote talks and a panel discussion. Workshops and the doctoral
consortium will circulate separate calls for papers and participation, which
will also be available at the conference web site. All accepted authors will have
the option of presenting a system demonstration at the poster session.

Important dates

Full papers and posters:
• Submission deadline: June 1, 2015 
• Notification: July 13, 2015
• Final version: August 17, 2015

Workshops

CONTEXT 2015 workshops will provide a platform for presenting novel and
emerging ideas in the use and the modelling of context in a less formal and
possibly more focused way than the conference itself. The format of each
workshop is to be determined by the organisers, but it is expected that
workshops will contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by
all participants - not just those presenting papers. Workshops that foster
collaboration, discussion, group problem-solving and community-building
initiatives are particularly encouraged. Researchers and practitioners from
all relevant fields are invited to submit proposals for review.

Proposals for workshops should contain:

1. A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and
content.
2. The desired workshop length (one day, two days or a half day) and an
estimate of the number of attendees.
3. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of
the organisers, with one-paragraph statements of their research interests
and areas of expertise.
4. A list of potential members of the program committee, with an
indication of which members have already signed up.
5. A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop.
6. A description of special requirements for technical needs.
7. An indication of whether posters are likely to be included in the
workshop program.

Please submit proposals in plain text in the body of an email to the
workshop organiser Samia Oussena (
samia.oussena@uwl.ac.uk)
no later than March 20, 2015.

Notification of acceptance of workshop proposals will occur no later
than April 1, 2015.

Organisers of accepted workshops will be responsible for publicising and
running the workshop, including reviewing submissions and producing the
camera-ready workshop proceedings and a possibly printed version; the
conference website may link to online workshop proceedings. It is crucial
that organisers commit to all deadlines.

Workshop organisers cannot accept for publication papers that will be (or
have been) published elsewhere, although they are free to set their own
policies on simultaneous submission and review. At least one organiser of an
accepted workshop is expected attend and lead the workshop; any participant
and speaker must register for the conference. The CONTEXT 2015 organisers
will set the workshop fees, provide rooms, equipment, technical support,
coffee and lunch breaks.
