Funding is available for the following five PhD studentships within
the TCS group at the University of Kent. Applicants should contact the
project supervisor directly for further details.
Project Supervisor: Dr Eerke Boiten (E.A.Boiten(a)kent.ac.uk)
Project Title: Reasoning about Scratch Cards
Scratch cards are used widely in lotteries and games, and recently
also in e-voting protocols. However, public confidence in e-voting is
very low. This research project can make a difference by developing
mathematical and logical abstractions of scratch cards that allow
formal reasoning, and consequently watertight proofs of the security of
protocols using them. This would be a great project if you are interested
in practical symbolic reasoning; knowledge of security, cryptography,
formal methods, probability, or logics would be a bonus.
Project Supervisor: Dr Olaf Chitil (O.Chitil(a)kent.ac.uk)
Project Title: Tracing Functional Programs with Hat
Hat (www.haskell.org/hat) is a sophisticated tool for locating faults in
Haskell programs. Hat consists of a trace generation system plus various
tools for viewing a trace. The aim of the research project is to improve
Hat by both extending it and easing its application in practise: (1)
Apply several theoretical results of a recent EPSRC project on tracing
in Hat (e.g. algorithmic debugging with functions as finite maps). (2)
Integrate the trace generator of Hat into the byte code interpreter
of the Glasgow Haskell system (GHC). (3) Enable traced code to call
and be called from unmodified non-tracing code, such that Hat can use
pre-compiled libraries of GHC.
Project Title: The Essence of Transfinite Reductions
Project Supervisor: Dr Stefan Kahrs (S.M.Kahrs(a)kent.ac.uk)
Infinitary Rewriting is an area of Term Rewriting in which research has
studied infinitary terms and infinitary reductions. While the notion of
infinitary terms is fairly settled, the existing notions of infinitary
reduction leave a lot to be desired - the definitions are suspiciously
complicated, the established results less than impressive. Thus, there
appears to be a lot of room for improvement. There are different angles
that are worth exploring. Firstly, there are several alternative ways
to define transfinite reductions. Secondly, one would hope that some of
these alternative ways lead to good properties of transfinite reduction.
Thirdly, it is not even a priori clear what would constitute such a
good property.
Project Title: Finding Security Bugs in x86 code
Project Supervisor: Dr Andy King (A.M.King(a)kent.ac.uk)
The project will investigate how security vulnerabilities can be
automatically located in x86 code. Rather than trap a fault when it occurs
as the program is running, the project will devise compile-time techniques
for locating faults before the program is executed. The project will
apply techniques from compiling, constraint solving and semantics,
though the applicant need not have expertise in all these fields.
Project Title: Refactoring Proofs
Project Supervisor: Prof Simon Thompson (S.J.Thompson(a)kent.ac.uk)
Refactoring allows the programmer to modify the design or structure of
a program without changing its behaviour. Recent work in the Functional
Programming group at Kent has developed refactoring systems for Haskell 98
(HaRe) and Erlang (Wrangler). Programming and proof have much in common,
and indeed under the "propositions as types" analogy, they are different
views of the same objects. The aim of this project is to explore how
refactoring can be incorporated into proof development systems, and will
combine theoretical work, implementation and usability analysis to ensure
that the results will be of value to users of proof assistants. The aim
of this project is to investigate refactoring for proofs.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
AITA08
Architectures for Intelligent Theory-Based Agents
March 26-28 2008,
Stanford University, California, USA.
We invite you to attend AITA08, the International Symposium on
Architectures for Intelligent Theory-Based Agents, to be held as part of
the AAAI Spring Symposium Series, March 26-28 2008, at Stanford University,
California, USA.
The focus of this symposium is the definition of architectures for
intelligent theory-based agents. These architectures typically comprise
languages, knowledge representation methodologies, reasoning algorithms,
and control loops.
The motivation of the symposium is the consideration that a number of
reasonably rigorous architectures have been designed, but not implemented,
that allow one to prove important properties about the agents and their
behavior, while other reasonably rigorous architectures have been
implemented without attendant proofs about their agents.
Unfortunately, there has not yet been much interaction among the groups
working on these two classes of architectures. The lack of communication
contributes to slowing the development of an otherwise interesting and
potentially very important area.
We intend to provide a forum to bring together researchers from these two
groups, promote interaction, and stimulate the investigation of the
relationships among the different approaches.
Key topics covered during the symposium are descriptions of specific
architectures, comparisons of architectures, surveys of the
state-of-the-art. The discussion will include overviews of languages,
knowledge representation methodologies, reasoning algorithms, and control
loops used in the architectures considered.
Further Information
The 2008 AAAI Spring Symposium Series will be held Wednesday - Friday,
March 26-28 at Stanford University. Registration and hotel information, as
well as an online registration form, are available at:
http://www.aaai.org/Symposia/Spring/sss08.php
Important dates:
* February 11, 2008: Sheraton Hotel reservation cut-off date

Fifth Workshop on
MODEL CHECKING and ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (MoChArt-2008)
At ECAI-2008 - Patras, Greece, July 2008
http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~mjw/mochart/
INTRODUCTION
Model checking is the process of determining whether or not a formula
of some logic is satisfied by a model for the logic. For many logics
of interest -- particularly temporal and modal logics -- model
checking procedures can be efficiently automated. This has led to
widespread interest in the use of model checking as a technique for
verifying properties of systems, and the development of a number of
widely used model checking tools (e.g., Carnegie-Mellon's SMV,
Cadence-SMV, and AT&T's SPIN).
The success of model checking in the computer aided verification
community has led to a growth of interest in the use of model checking
in AI. The MOCHART workshop brings together both researchers in AI
with an interest in model checking, and researchers in model checking
who are interested in AI techniques.
Previous editions of the workshop were held in Riva del Garda, Italy
in 2006 (as satellite workshops of ECAI), San Francisco in 2005 (as
satellite workshop of Concur), Acapulco in 2003 (as satellite workshop
of IJCAI03), and Lyon in 2002 (as satellite workshop of ECAI02). We
are exploring the possibility of publishing a formal proceedings after
the event with Springer-Verlag.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Application of model checking techniques to AI problems.
- planning as model checking
- model checking for multi-agent systems
- diagnosis and model checking
- model checking versus theorem proving
- Model Checking and AI logics.
- model checking for combined modal/temporal logics
- model checking for logics of common sense reasoning
- Relations between different techniques used in the two fields for
similar purposes (e.g., reducing state explosion).
- New model checking techniques specifically for AI problems.
- Exploitation of AI techniques in model checking.
- AI approaches to the state explosion problem
- heuristics for model checking
- AI approaches to automatic abstraction
- Software tools for model checking in AI.
- languages and software platforms for AI model checking
- model checking symbolic reasoning systems & languages
- Model checking for verification of AI systems.
- automated verification of AI systems
- case studies & experience with model checking in AI
Preliminary papers and papers on applications are strongly encouraged.
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for submissions: April 10th, 2008
Notification: May 10th, 2008
Workshop: July 21st-22nd, 2008
SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
Submissions must be formatted according to Springer-Verlag's "Lecture
Notes in Computer Science" styles, and must be no more than 15 pages
in length. Papers must be submitted through the EasyChair web-based
conference management system: follow the link from the workshop web
page. All papers will be peer reviewed, and evaluated on the basis of
relevance, technical quality, significance, evaluation, and
presentation.

Research Grant
To pursue PhD studies in the
CLIP group (http://clip.dia.fi.upm.es)
Technical University of Madrid (Spain)
in the context of the S-Cube EU Network of Excellence
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The CLIP group at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) invites
applications for a fully-funded 4-year PhD scholarship for qualified
graduate students.
Candidates should have graduated (with a Bachelor level or equivalent)
in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields prior to
the start of their research work at UPM. Candidates close to
fulfilling this requirement can also apply, and every case will be
considered separately. Please include as much relevant information as
possible.
The PhD work will focus on the research areas of the Clip group and
the EU-funded S-Cube network, and will be directed by Manuel Carro and
Manuel Hermenegildo. The general research objective of "S-Cube:
Software and Services Systems Network" is to advance in the
consolidation of a unified framework for Software and Services by
studying how to reliably integrate the different requirements for a
service-based application (SBA), including establishing ground work to
define how tools to ensure SBAs can be implemented. Among other
topics, this includes ensuring quality of service, and performing
validation and verification of SBA or parts thereof --tasks in which
UPM is directly involved.
This is also an outstanding opportunity to get involved in tasks which
require international collaboration, as the 15 S-Cube partners come
from 11 different countries. Besides purely research issues, a
significant part of S-Cube deals with integrating existing European
research in the field by, e.g., organizing workshops, striving to
establish a researcher exchange network, and others. The CLIP group
itself has currently around 20 full-time members from 6 different
countries. The working language of the group (and of the project) is
English, and good to excellent command of English is expected from
applicants.
Experience in / knowledge of (or, at least, interest in) the following
topics, despite not being mandatory, increases the chances of success:
* Software verification.
* Software validation.
* (Constraint) Logic Programming.
* Technology for and deployment of Web Services.
* Quality of service in software services.
* Service-oriented architectures.
Applications and information:
-----------------------------
The project starts on March 1, 2008, and will initially run for four
years. The grant will be given in the form of a full-time contract
which includes academic fees, medical care, and a tax-free monthly
payment which can range from 1,100 to 1,600 euros, depending on
experience. Applicants will be ranked according to their value and
only those in the shortlist will be contacted to ask for more details
or to have a personal interview.
The deadline for applications is February 15th, 2008. Applications
received after this deadline may be considered if the scholarships
have not been filled at reception time. Applications and inquiries
should be sent to scube-phd-grants[_a(a)t_]clip.dia.fi.upm.es (replace
[_a(a)t_] by the appropriate sign) and include a curriculum vitae (very
preferably in PDF), a listing of grades from previous studies, a brief
description of research interests in relation to those of the CLIP
group and S-Cube, and, if at all possible, letters of recommendation
from faculty or management that the student has worked with
previously.
More information on the research group and the S-Cube project can be
found at http://www.cliplab.org .

2ND CALL FOR PAPERS
TRENDS IN FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING 2008
RADBOUD UNIVERSITY NIJMEGEN, THE NETHERLANDS
MAY 26-28, 2008
INVITED SPEAKER: PROF. HENK BARENDREGT
http://www.st.cs.ru.nl/AFP_TFP_2008/
The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an
international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of
functional programming languages, focusing on providing a broad view
of current and future trends in Functional Programming. It aspires to
be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results
through acceptance by extended abstracts and full papers. A formal
post-symposium refereeing process selects the best articles presented
at the symposium for publication in a high-profile volume.
TFP 2008 is hosted by the Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands,
and will be held in the rural setting of Center Parcs =93Het Heijderbos=94=
,
Heijen (in the vicinity of Nijmegen), The Netherlands.
TFP 2008 is co-located with the 6th Int=92l. Summer School on Advanced
Functional Programming (AFP=9208), which is held immediately before TFP=92=
08.
SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM
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: leading-edge, previously unpublished research.
Position: on what new trends should or should not be.
Project: descriptions of recently started new projects.
Evaluation: what lessons can be drawn from a finished project.
Overview: summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject.
Articles must be original and not submitted for simultaneous publication
to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional
programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or more
experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques
to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium.
Contributions on the following subject areas are particularly welcomed:
* Dependently Typed Functional Programming
* Validation and Verification of Functional Programs
* Debugging for Functional Languages
* Functional Programming and Security
* Functional Programming and Mobility
* Functional Programming to Animate/Prototype/Implement Systems from
Formal or Semi-Formal Specifications
* Functional Languages for Telecommunications Applications
* Functional Languages for Embedded Systems
* Functional Programming Applied to Global Computing
* Functional GRIDs
* Functional Programming Ideas in Imperative or Object-Oriented
Settings (and the converse)
* Interoperability with Imperative Programming Languages
* Novel Memory Management Techniques
* Parallel/Concurrent Functional Languages
* Program Transformation Techniques
* Empirical Performance Studies
* Abstract/Virtual Machines and Compilers for Functional 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 2008 program chairs, Peter Achten and Pieter
Koopman, at afp_tfp_2008(a)cs.ru.nl.
SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS
Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on the
review of full papers (15 pages) and extended abstracts (at least 3 pages=
)
by the program committee. TFP encourages PhD students to submit papers. P=
hD
students may request the program committee to provide extensive feedback
on their full papers at the time of submission. Full papers describing
work accepted for presentation must be completed before the symposium for
publication in the draft proceedings and on-line. Further details can be
found at the TFP 2008 website http://www.st.cs.ru.nl/AFP_TFP_2008/.
POST-SYMPOSIUM REFEREEING AND PUBLICATION
