07 Mar '08

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this email.=20 See below on how to unsubscribe.=20 ............................................................. Call for Submissions to Workshops =09 Affiliated with The 20th International Conference on Computer Aided Verification CAV 2008 http://www.princeton.edu/cav2008 ............................................................. Note: Not all workshops have open submissions. FAC '08: 2nd Workshop on Formal Verification of Analog Circuits --------------------------------------------------------------- *** Submission deadline: April 1st, 2008 *** http://www.em.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/FAC08.html Organizers: Lars Hedrich and Oded Maler=20 While formal verification has become part of the design process of digital circuits, its application to analog and mixed-signal design is still in its infancy. This is mainly due to the fact that the mathematical models for such circuits are very different from the discrete, finite-state transition systems that underlie verification of digital systems. Such models are based on continuous dynamical systems governed by differential equations and their verification calls for different techniques, like those developed in the analysis of hybrid systems. This workshop intends to bring together practitioners in circuit design and in EDA tools together with researchers in verification of discrete and hybrid systems in order to understand the problems faced by designers of analog circuits and to see what support can be provided by existing and new verification techniques. AFM08: Automated Formal Methods ------------------------------- http://fm.csl.sri.com/AFM08/ Organizers: Bruno Dutertre, Sam Owre, John Rushby, N. Shankar, Ashish Tiwari AFM functions both as a user's meeting for the SRI tools PVS, SAL, and Yices, and as a general workshop for those interested in state-of-the-art automation for formal methods. The workshop will include short tutorials on effective use of PVS, SAL, and Yices, as well as contributed papers that report on applications, case studies, and experiments, as well as fresh ideas for enhancing the scale and range of automated formal methods. BPR 2008: 1st International Workshop on Bit-Precise Reasoning ------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~babic/index_bpr.htm Organizers: Domagoj Babic, Amit Goel Bit-Precise Reasoning (BPR) is increasingly being used for the analysis of hardware and software systems. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on BPR with users of BPR. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: applications of BPR and case studies, new decision procedures for bit-vector arithmetic, combinations with other theories, theoretical results, novel implementation techniques, as well as benchmarks and evaluation methodology.

Reading a term from a list of codes
by Andrew Moss 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Hello, Is there an easy way to convert a list of codes into an arbitrary term? atom_codes/2 and number_codes/2 both assume that the list of codes represents a specific type of data. Is there something that functions more like read_term but over an internal list of codes rather than an input stream? In SWI it can be achieved using: term_codes(Term,Codes) :- atom_codes(A,Codes), atom_to_term(A,Term). I couldn't find anything related in the Ciao Manual and was wondering how to go about writing: term_codes(Term,Codes) :- ... ? Amoss ============================================================================== Message: Address: Action: help majordomo(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Info. on useful commands subscribe ciao-users-request(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Subscribe to this list unsubscribe ciao-users-request(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Unsubscribe from this list <whatever> ciao-users(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Send message to list ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages: http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Mail/ciao-users/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

PhD Studentships at Kent
by A.M.King 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

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. ============================================================================== Message: Address: Action: help majordomo(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Info. on useful commands subscribe ciao-users-request(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Subscribe to this list unsubscribe ciao-users-request(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Unsubscribe from this list <whatever> ciao-users(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Send message to list ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages: http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Mail/ciao-users/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 * February 26, 2008: Deadline for scholarship applications * February 28, 2008: Notification of scholarship awards * February 29, 2008: Final (open) registration deadline * March 26-28, 2008: Symposium Financial Aid A limited number of scholarships is available for students attending the symposium. Interested students can apply by sending a one-page description of their research interests and a recommendation letter from their advisor to Marcello Balduccini at aita08.aaai(a)gmail.com. Organizing Committee Marcello Balduccini, Texas Tech University/Kodak Research Labs; Chitta Baral, Arizona State University; Thomas Eiter, Vienna University of Technology; Alfredo Gabaldon, National ICT Australia; Stuart C.

CFP: 5th Workshop on Model Checking and AI
by Doron Peled 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

- Call for Papers - 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. PARTICIPATION The workshop forms part of the ECAI-2008 workshop programme, and as such delegates must register for the ECAI conference.

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 . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================== Message: Address: Action: help majordomo(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Info. on useful commands subscribe ciao-users-request(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Subscribe to this list unsubscribe ciao-users-request(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Unsubscribe from this list <whatever> ciao-users(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Send message to list ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages: http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Mail/ciao-users/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
