Call for Papers
10th Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics
- CICM 2017 -
July 17-21, 2016
University of Edinburgh, Scotland
http://www.cicm-conference.org/2017
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Digital and computational solutions are becoming the prevalent means
for the generation, communication, processing, storage and curation of
mathematical information. Separate communities have developed to
investigate and build computer based systems for computer algebra,
automated deduction, and mathematical publishing as well as novel user
interfaces. While all of these systems excel in their own right, their
integration can lead to synergies offering significant added
value. The Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics (CICM)
offers a venue for discussing and developing solutions to the great
challenges posed by the integration of these diverse areas.
CICM has been held annually as a joint meeting since 2008, co-locating
related conferences and workshops to advance work in these
subjects. Previous meetings have been held in Birmingham (UK 2008),
Grand Bend (Canada 2009), Paris (France 2010), Bertinoro (Italy 2011),
Bremen (Germany 2012), Bath (UK 2013), Coimbra (Portugal 2014),
Washington DC (USA 2015) and Bialystok (Poland 2016).
This is a call for papers for CICM 2017, which will be held in
Edinburgh, Scotland, July 17-21, 2016. CICM 2017 also invites work-in-
progress papers.
The principal tracks of the conference will be:
* Track: Calculemus (chair: Matthew England)
All topics in the intersection of computer algebra systems and
automated reasoning systems including:
- Automated theorem proving in computer algebra systems.
- Computer algebra and symbolic computation in theorem proving
systems.
- Theory, design and implementation of interdisciplinary systems for
computer mathematics.
- Case studies and applications that involve a mix of computation
and reasoning.
- Case studies in formalization of mathematical theories that include
non-trivial computations.
- Representation of mathematics in computer algebra systems.
- Input languages, programming languages, types and constraint
languages, and modeling languages for mathematical assistant systems.
* Track: Digital Mathematical Libraries (DML) (chair: Olaf Teschke)
All topics related to the formation of a Global Digital Mathematics
Library (GDML) network, ranging from experiences from existing DMLs,
policies and standards facilitating interoperability, to development
and integration of new techniques for content creation,
preservation, enhancement and retrieval of the corpus, including:
- DML creation and maintenance (content aggregation, validation,
curation, enhancement).
- DML architecture and representations (organization, workflows,
policies, standards).
- DML access and applications (retrieval, interfaces, interoperability).
- DML collections and systems (experiences from various existing DMLs).
* Track: Mathematical Knowledge Management (MKM) (chair: Florian Rabe)
- Knowledge representation using, e.g., formal logics, computational
systems, narrative document formats, or databases
- Solutions to create, store, disseminate, discover, or manipulate
mathematical knowledge
- Corpora of knowledge inlcuding documents, theories, theorems, proofs,
models, algorithms, exercises, or examples
- Methods, systems, frameworks, case studies, challenges, benchmarks,
or applications for mathematical knowledge
- Comparisons, evaluations, or integrations of MKM solutions
* Track: Systems & Projects (chair: Osman Hasan)
- Systems: Stand-alone; plugins, libraries, or extensions of
existing systems; or integrations of existing systems
- Data: Formalizations; harvests or new processing of existing data;
or case studies, test cases, or benchmark suites for systems

CONFERENCE SCOPE AND PUBLICATION
FMCAD 2017 is the seventeenth in a series of conferences on the theory and
applications of formal methods in hardware and system verification. FMCAD
provides a leading forum to researchers in academia and industry for
presenting and discussing groundbreaking methods, technologies, theoretical
results, and tools for reasoning formally about computing systems. FMCAD
covers formal aspects of computer-aided system design including verification,
specification, synthesis, and testing.
FMCAD employs a rigorous peer-review process. Accepted papers are distributed
through both ACM and IEEE digital libraries. In addition, published articles
are made available freely on the conference page; the authors retain the
copyright. There are no publication fees. At least one of the authors is
required to register for the conference and present the accepted paper. A
small number of outstanding FMCAD submissions will be considered for
inclusion in a Special Issue of the journal on Formal Methods in System
Design (FMSD).
TOPICS OF INTEREST
FMCAD welcomes submission of papers reporting original research on advances
in all aspects of formal methods and their applications to computer-
aided design. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
-- Model checking, theorem proving, equivalence checking, abstraction and
reduction, compositional methods, decision procedures at the bit- and
word-level, probabilistic methods, combinations of deductive methods and
decision procedures.
-- Synthesis and compilation for computer system descriptions, modeling,
specification, and implementation languages, formal semantics of
languages and their subsets, model-based design, design derivation and
transformation, correct-by-construction methods.
-- Application of formal and semi-formal methods to functional and
non-functional specification and validation of hardware and software,
including timing and power modeling, verification of computing systems
on all levels of abstraction, system-level design and verification for
embedded systems, cyber-physical systems, automotive systems and
other safety-critical systems, hardware-software co-design and
verification, and transaction-level verification.
-- Experience with the application of formal and semi-formal methods to
industrial-scale designs; tools that represent formal verification
enablement, new features, or a substantial improvement in the automation
of formal methods.
-- Application of formal methods to verifying safety, correctness,
connectivity, and security properties of networks and distributed
systems.
SUBMISSIONS
Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fmcad17
Two categories of papers are invited: Regular papers, and Tool & Case Study
papers. Regular papers are expected to offer novel foundational ideas,
theoretical results, or algorithmic improvements to existing methods,
along with experimental impact validation where applicable. Tool & Case
Study papers are expected to report on the design, implementation or use of
verification (or related) technology in a practically relevant context
(which need not be industrial), and its impact on design processes.
Both Regular and Tool & Case study papers must use the IEEE Transactions
format on letter-size paper with a 10-point font size. Regular papers can be
up to 8 pages in length and tool papers up to 4 pages, although there
is no requirement to fill all pages in either category. Authors will be
required to select the appropriate paper category at abstract submission
time. Submissions may contain an optional appendix, which will not appear
in the final version of the paper. The reviewers should be able to assess
the quality and the relevance of the results in the paper without reading
the appendix.
Submissions in both categories must contain original research that has not
been previously published, nor is concurrently submitted for publication.
Any partial overlap with published or concurrently submitted papers must be
clearly indicated. If experimental results are reported, authors are
strongly encouraged to provide the reviewers access to their data at
submission time, so that results can be independently verified.

Paper Submission
NEW this year:
There is no separate registration deadline. Full papers should be uploaded by the submission deadline.
Tool papers require a concurrent artifact submission together with the paper submission. Artifact evaluation occurs concurrently with the review process and the PC gets access to the artifact evaluation during the PC discussions.
Submissions on a wide range of topics are sought, particularly ones that identify new research directions. CAV 2017 is not limited to topics discussed in previous instances of the conference. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic may communicate with the conference chairs prior to submission.
As explained below, CAV 2017 will follow a lightweight double-blind review process. Submissions that are not "blinded" will be rejected without review. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with proceedings or submission of material that has already been published elsewhere is not allowed. The review process will include a feedback/rebuttal period where authors will have the option to respond to reviewer comments. The PC chairs may solicit further reviews after the rebuttal period.
Papers must be submitted in PDF format here
Submissions will be in two categories: Regular Papers and Tool Papers.
Regular Papers
Regular Papers should not exceed 16 pages in LNCS format, not counting references and appendices. Authors can include a clearly marked appendix at the end of their submissions, that is exempt from the page limit restrictions. However, the reviewers are not obliged to read the contents of these appendices. These papers should contain original research and sufficient detail to assess the merits and relevance of the contribution. Papers will be evaluated on basis of a combination of correctness, technical depth, significance, novelty, clarity, and elegance. We welcome papers on theory, case studies, and comparisons with existing experimental research, as well as combinations of new theory with experimental evaluation. A strong theoretical paper is not required to have an experimental component. On the other hand, strong papers reproducing and comparing existing results experimentally do not require new theoretical insights.
We encourage authors to provide any supplementary material that is required to support the claims made in the paper, such as detailed proofs or experimental data. These materials should be uploaded at submission time, as a single pdf or a tarball, not via a URL. It will be made available to reviewers only after they have submitted their first-draft reviews and hence need not be anonymized. Reviewers are under no obligation to look at the supplementary material but may refer to it if they have questions about the material in the body of the paper.
Tool Papers
Tool Papers should not exceed 6 pages, not counting references. These papers should describe system and implementation aspects of a tool with a large (potential) user base (experiments not required, rehash of theory strongly discouraged). Papers describing tools that have already been presented (in any conference) will be accepted only if significant and clear enhancements to the tool are reported and implemented. Note that tool papers require the submission of an artifact for evaluation by the submission deadline. Artifacts will be evaluated concurrently with the review process and the program committee will have access to the artifact evaluation while making their decision. In special cases, where an artifact cannot be submitted, the authors should contact the program chairs to find alternate modes of artifact evaluation.
Lightweight Double-Blind Reviewing Process
CAV 2017 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. This means that committee members will not have access to authors' names or affiliations as they review a paper; however, authors' names will be revealed once reviews have been submitted.
To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules:
Author names and institutions must be omitted, and references to authors' own related work should be in the third person (e.g., not "We build on our previous work…" but rather "We build on the work of …").
The purpose of this process is to help the PC and external reviewers come to an initial judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission, makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult, or interferes with the process of disseminating new ideas. For example, important background references should *not* be omitted or anonymized, even if they are written by the same authors and share common ideas, techniques, or infrastructure. Authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas.
Artifact Submission and Evaluation
Authors of accepted regular papers will be invited to submit (but are not required to submit) the relevant artifact for evaluation by the artifact evaluation committee.
Authors of all tool papers are required to submit their artifact to the artifact evaluation committee at the paper submission time. Unlike regular papers, the results of the artifact evaluation for tool papers will be available to the program committee during the online discussions.
To submit an artifact, please prepare a virtual machine (VM) image of your artifact and keep it accessible through an HTTP link throughout the evaluation process. As the basis of the VM image, please choose commonly used OS versions that have been tested with the virtual machine software and that evaluators are likely to be accustomed to. We encourage you to use https://www.virtualbox.org and save the VM image as an Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) file. Please include the prepared link in the appropriate field of the paper submission form.
In addition, please supply at submission time a link to a short plain-text file describing the OS and parameters of the image, as well as the host platform on which you prepared and tested your virtual machine image (OS, RAM, number of cores, CPU frequency). Please describe how to proceed after booting the image, including the instructions for locating the full documentation for evaluating the artifact.
If you are not in a position to prepare the artifact as above, please contact PC chairs for an alternative arrangement.
It is to the advantage of authors to prepare an artifact that is easy to evaluate by the artifact evaluation committee and that yields expected results. We next provide some guidelines. Document in detail how to reproduce most of the experimental results of the paper using the artifact; keep this process simple through easy-to-use scripts and provide detailed documentation assuming minimum expertise of users. Ensure the artifact is in the state ready to run. It should work without a network connection. It should not require the user to install additional software before running. It should use reasonably modest resources (RAM, number of cores), so that the results can be reproduced on various hardware platforms including laptops. The evaluation should take reasonable amount of time to complete. When possible include source code within your virtual machine image and point to the most relevant and interesting parts of the source code tree.
Members of the artifact evaluation committee and the program committee are asked to use submitted artifact for the sole purpose of evaluating the contribution associated with the artifact.

[Caml-list] iFM 2017: Call for Papers (13th Intl. Conference on integrated Formal Methods), submission open
CALL FOR PAPERS
************************************************************************
13th International Conference on
integrated Formal Methods (iFM 2017)
Turin, Italy, 20-22 September 2017
************************************************************************
Important dates
Abstract submission: Tuesday March 28
Paper submission: Tuesday April 4
Notification: Friday May 26
Camera-ready copy: Tuesday June 11
Conference: September 20-22
Deadlines expire at 23:59 anywhere on earth on the dates displayed above.
Objectives and Scope
Applying formal methods may involve the usage of different formalisms and different analysis techniques to validate a system, either because individual components are most amenable to one formalism or technique, because one is interested in different properties of the system, or simply to cope with the sheer complexity of the system. The iFM conference series seeks to further research into hybrid approaches to formal modeling and analysis; i.e., the combination of (formal and semi-formal) methods for system development, regarding both modeling and analysis. The conference covers all aspects from language design through verification and analysis techniques to tools and their integration into software engineering practice.
Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
- Formal and semi-formal modelling notations
- Combining formal methods
- Integration of formal methods into software engineering practice
- Program verification, model checking, and static analysis
- Runtime analysis, monitoring, and testing
- Program synthesis
- Analysis and synthesis of hybrid, embedded, probabilistic, distributed, or concurrent systems
- Model learning
- Theorem proving, decision procedures, SAT and SMT solving
Submission Guidelines
iFM 2017 solicits high quality papers reporting research results and/or experience reports related to the overall theme of method integration.
We solicit papers in the following categories:
- Research papers describe original scientific research results, validated by experimental results where applicable. Submissions will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. Limit: 15 pages.
- Case study papers report on applications of formal methods, preferably in a real world setting. A case study paper need not introduce novel techniques or tools, but it must include a rigorous empirical evaluation and potentially be of interest to practitioners. Limit: 15 pages.
- Regular tool papers present a new tool or novel extensions to an existing tool. They should provide a short description of the theoretical foundations, while focusing on the tool's design and implementation concerns, as well as empirical evaluation of its practical capabilities. Papers that present extensions to existing tools should clearly focus on the improvements or extensions with respect to previously published versions of the tool. Authors are strongly encouraged to make their tools publicly available, preferably on the web. Limit: 15 pages.
- Tool demonstration papers focus on the usage aspects of tools. Foundations and empirical evaluation are not required, but the paper should explain why the tool is relevant for the community, and, in particular, for practitioners. As with regular tool papers, authors are strongly encouraged to make their tools publicly available, preferably on the web. Limit: 8 pages.
Page limits include bibliography and any appendices. All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Each paper will undergo a thorough review process.
Submissions should be made using the iFM 2017 Easychair site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifm2017 Submissions must be in PDF format, using the Springer LNCS style files; we suggest to use the LaTeX2e package (the llncs.cls class file, available in llncs2e.zip and the typeinst.dem available in typeinst.zip as a template for your contribution). The conference proceedings will be published in the Formal Methods subline of Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
All accepted papers must be presented at the conference. Their authors must be prepared to sign a copyright transfer statement. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to the conference by the early registration date, to be indicated by the organizers, and present the paper.
Invited Speakers
-Jane Hillston (University of Edinburgh, UK)
-André Platzer (CMU, USA)
-Matrin Vechev (ETH Zurich, Switzerland)

of automated deduction is presented. High-quality submissions on the
general topic of automated deduction, including foundations,
applications, implementations, theoretical results, practical
experiences and user studies are solicited.
Key dates:
Abstract deadline: 11 February 2017
Submission deadline: 18 February 2017
* Logics of interest include propositional, first-order, equational,
higher-order, classical, description, modal, temporal, many-valued,
constructive, other non-classical, meta-logics, logical frameworks, type
theory, set theory, as well as any combination thereof.
* Paradigms of interest include theorem proving, model building, constraint
solving, computer algebra, model checking, proof checking, and their
integration.
* Methods of interest include resolution, superposition, completion,
saturation, term rewriting, decision procedures, model elimination,
connection methods, tableaux, sequent calculi, natural deduction, as
well as their supporting algorithms and data structures, including
matching, unification, orderings, induction, indexing techniques, proof
presentation and explanation, proof planning.
* Applications of interest include program analysis, verification and
synthesis of software and hardware, formal methods, computational logic,
computer mathematics, natural language processing, computational
linguistics, knowledge representation, ontology reasoning, deductive
databases, declarative programming, robotics, planning, and other areas
of artificial intelligence.
Submissions can be made in two categories: regular papers and system
descriptions. The page limit in Springer LNCS style is 15 pages
excluding references for regular papers and 10 pages excluding
references for system descriptions. Submissions must be unpublished
and not submitted for publication elsewhere. They will be judged on
relevance, originality, significance, correctness, and
readability. System descriptions must contain a link to a working
system and will also be judged on usefulness and design. Proofs of
theoretical results that do not fit in the page limit, executables of
systems, and input data of experiments should be made available, via a
reference to a website or in an appendix of the paper. For papers
containing experimental evaluations, all data needed to rerun the
experiments must be available. Reviewers will be encouraged to
consider this additional material, but submissions must be
self-contained within the respective page limit; considering the
additional material should not be necessary to assess the merits of a
submission. The review process will include a feedback/rebuttal period
where authors will have the option to respond to reviewer
comments. The PC chairs may solicit further reviews after the rebuttal
period.
The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer
LNCS/LNAI series. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files can
be obtained at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
At every CADE conference the Program Committee selects one of the
accepted papers to receive the CADE Best Paper Award. The award
recognizes a paper that the Program Committee collegially evaluates as
the best in terms of originality and significance, having substantial
confidence in its correctness. Overall technical quality,
completeness, scholarly accuracy, and readability are also
considered. Characteristics associated with a best paper include, for
instance, introduction of a strong new technique or approach, solution
of a long-standing open problem, introduction and solution of an
interesting and important new problem, highly innovative application
of known ideas or existing techniques, and presentation of a new
system of outstanding power. Under exceptional circumstances, the
Program Committee may give two awards (ex aequo) or give no award.

saturation, term rewriting, decision procedures, model elimination,
connection methods, tableaux, sequent calculi, natural deduction, as
well as their supporting algorithms and data structures, including
matching, unification, orderings, induction, indexing techniques, proof
presentation and explanation, proof planning.
* Applications of interest include program analysis, verification and
synthesis of software and hardware, formal methods, computational logic,
computer mathematics, natural language processing, computational
linguistics, knowledge representation, ontology reasoning, deductive
databases, declarative programming, robotics, planning, and other areas
of artificial intelligence.
Submissions can be made in two categories: regular papers and system
descriptions. The page limit in Springer LNCS style is 15 pages
excluding references for regular papers and 10 pages excluding
references for system descriptions. Submissions must be unpublished
and not submitted for publication elsewhere. They will be judged on
relevance, originality, significance, correctness, and
readability. System descriptions must contain a link to a working
system and will also be judged on usefulness and design. Proofs of
theoretical results that do not fit in the page limit, executables of
systems, and input data of experiments should be made available, via a
reference to a website or in an appendix of the paper. For papers
containing experimental evaluations, all data needed to rerun the
experiments must be available. Reviewers will be encouraged to
consider this additional material, but submissions must be
self-contained within the respective page limit; considering the
additional material should not be necessary to assess the merits of a
submission. The review process will include a feedback/rebuttal period
where authors will have the option to respond to reviewer
comments. The PC chairs may solicit further reviews after the rebuttal
period.
The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer
LNCS/LNAI series. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files can
be obtained at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
At every CADE conference the Program Committee selects one of the
accepted papers to receive the CADE Best Paper Award. The award
recognizes a paper that the Program Committee collegially evaluates as
the best in terms of originality and significance, having substantial
confidence in its correctness. Overall technical quality,
completeness, scholarly accuracy, and readability are also
considered. Characteristics associated with a best paper include, for
instance, introduction of a strong new technique or approach, solution
of a long-standing open problem, introduction and solution of an
interesting and important new problem, highly innovative application
of known ideas or existing techniques, and presentation of a new
system of outstanding power. Under exceptional circumstances, the
Program Committee may give two awards (ex aequo) or give no award.
