IARCS Verification Seminar Series -- Talk by Shibashis Guha on Nov. 1 at 1900 hrs IST

by VSS IARCS

Dear all, The next talk in the IARCS Verification Seminar Series will be given by Shibashis Guha, a faculty member at the School of Technology and Computer Science at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. The talk is scheduled on Tuesday, November 1, at 1900 hrs IST (add to Google calendar <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=MGsxMHR2dT…> ). The details of the talk can be found on our webpage ( https://fmindia.cmi.ac.in/vss/), and also appended to the body of this email. The Verification Seminar Series, an initiative by the Indian Association for Research in Computing Science (IARCS), is a monthly, online talk-series, broadly in the area of Formal Methods and Programming Languages, with applications in Verification and Synthesis. The aim of this talk-series is to provide a platform for Formal Methods researchers to interact regularly. In addition, we hope that it will make it easier for researchers to explore newer problems/areas and collaborate on them, and for younger researchers to start working in these areas. All are welcome to join. Best regards, Akash, Deepak, Madhukar, Srivathsan ============================================================= Title: A Game of Pawns Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89164094870?pwd=eUFNRWp0bHYxRVpwVVNoVUdHU0djQT09 (Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194) Abstract: We introduce and study pawn games; a class of two-player turn-based zero-sum games in which the control of vertices changes dynamically throughout the game. Pawn games naturally model ongoing decision-making setting in which resources are transferable. Each vertex of a pawn game is owned by a pawn. In each round of the game, the pawns are partitioned between the two players. The player who moves the token from a vertex is the player who controls the pawn that owns the vertex. A pawn game is equipped with a mechanism, which the players apply after each round in order to update the set of pawns that they control. We define several grabbing-based mechanisms in which control of at most one pawn transfers at the end of each round. We study the complexity of solving reachability pawn games, where we parameterize the problem by the mechanism that is being used and by restrictions on pawn ownership of vertices. For the positive news, even though pawn games are exponentially-succinct turn-based games, we identify some natural classes that can be solved in PTIME. For the negative news, we identify some classes for which the problem is EXPTIME-complete. Our EXPTIME-hardness results are based on a class of games which we introduce and call Lock-and-Key games, and which may be of independent interest. This is a joint work with Guy Avni and Pranav Ghorpade. Bio: Shibashis Guha is a faculty member at the School of Technology and Computer Science at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. Before this, he was a postdoc at the Verification Group in Université libre de Bruxelles and at The Hebrew University in the group of Prof. Orna Kupferman. He did his PhD from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Delhi, under the supervision of Prof. S. Arun-Kumar. His research interests include reactive synthesis, probabilistic systems, timed automata, behavioural equivalences, formal methods and its intersection with algorithmic game theory.

Zhangjiajie is an emerging tourist destination famous for its unique natural scenery and abundant tourism resources. It is located in the northwest of Hunan province, about 400 kilometers away from Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, covering a total area of 9,516 square kilometers, of which 76% are mountainous area. Out of its total population of 1.52 million, almost 77% belong to ethnic minority groups, including Tujia, Bai and Miao nationalities. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park was established by the State Council in 1982 as the first National Forest Park of China. Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie was listed into the World Natural Heritage Catalogue by the UNESCO in 1992 and appraised as a national AAAAA scenic area. Zhangjiajie was awarded the title of "World Geological Park" in 2004. The amazing landscape here had been a source of creation of the CGI artist in the Avatar movie, and since the movie was released and achieved a great success, many tourists keeping coming to Zhangjiajie admiring this natural beauty. The Second International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2022) stems from three conference/symposium/workshop series: (1) The well-established SpaCCS conference series with Springer LNCS: UbiSec is inspired by the SpaCCS style of three tracks (Security, Privacy, and Anonymity, "Spa" for short), which covers "Big Security" leveraging computation, communication and storage ("CCS" for short) systems and networks. UbiSec extends this style with three new tracks: Cyberspace Security, Cyberspace Privacy, and Cyberspace Anonymity. (2) The UbiSafe symposium series: UbiSec follows the UbiSafe vision on "Ubiquitous Safety", also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SAFE" (pronounced "UbiSafe"). UbiSec extends this vision to "Ubiquitous Security", using "Big Security" to embrace NOT ONLY security, privacy and anonymity, BUT ALSO safety, reliability, dependability, trustworthiness and more, also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SEC(ure)" (pronounced "UbiSec"). (3) The IWCSS workshop series: UbiSec follows the IWCSS theme on "Cyberspace Security", with "Cyberspace" as the 5th national sovereign space besides the traditional four domains of land, sea, air, and aerospace. UbiSec extends this theme to "Ubiquitous Security", meaning that cyberspace will be secure, physical world will be secure, social networking systems will be secure, and thus "YOU (will) BE SECure"! The UbiSec 2022 Conference ("The Conference" for short) is the second event in the series of conferences/symposia/workshops which are devoted to security, privacy and anonymity in cyberspace, physical world, and social networks. The Conference covers many dimensions including security algorithms and architectures, privacy-aware policies, regulations and techniques, anonymous computation and communication, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial application systems for cyberspace, physical world, and social networking systems. As applications of computer and information technology have permeated in every aspect of our daily life, the issues of security, privacy, and anonymity have become increasingly critical. The Conference will provide a forum for world-class researchers to gather and share their research achievements, emerging ideas and trends in the highly challenging research fields. UbiSec 2022 follows the UbiSec 2021 conference in Guangzhou and also the traditions of previous successful SpaCCS/UbiSafe/IWCSS conference/symposium/workshop series, held in Nanjing, China (SpaCCS 2020/UbiSafe 2020), Guangzhou, China (IWCSS 2020); Altanta, USA (SpaCCS 2019/UbiSafe 2019), Guangzhou, China (IWCSS 2019); Melbourne, Australia (SpaCCS 2018/UbiSafe 2018), Guangzhou China (IWCSS 2018); Guangzhou, China (SpaCCS 2017/UbiSafe 2017/IWCSS 2017); Zhangjiajie, China (SpaCCS 2016/UbiSafe 2016); Helsinki, Finland (UbiSafe 2015); Beijing, China (UbiSafe 2014); Melbourne, Australia (UbiSafe 2013); Liverpool, UK (UbiSafe 2012); Changsha, China (UbiSafe 2011); Chengdu China (UbiSafe 2009); and Niagara Falls, Canada (UbiSafe 2007). The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working in the research fields of security, privacy, and anonymity aspects of computer systems and networks. The conference will focus on broad areas of architectures, algorithms, techniques, and applications for cyberspace security, cyberspace privacy, and cyberspace anonymity.

TrustData 2022 CFP with 5+Keynotes&10+Invited Talks&20+SIs: Deadline Extended to Oct. 30

by Qin Liu

************************************************************************************************** TrustData 2022 CFP with 5+Keynotes&10+Invited Talks&20+SIs: Deadline Extended to Oct. 30 We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this TrustData 2022 CFP. We appreciate your great help if you forward this TrustData 2022 CFP to your colleages and friends. ************************************************************************************************** Call for Papers for the 13th International Workshop on Trust, Security and Privacy for Big Data (TrustData 2022) Venue & Dates: Zhangjiajie, China, December 28 - 31, 2022 Conference Website: http://ubisecurity.org/TrustData/2022/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction The proliferation of new technologies such as Internet of Things and cloud computing calls for innovative ideas to retrieve, filter, and integrate data from a large number of diverse data sources. Big Data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose volume/velocity/variability is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to manage and process the data within a tolerable period of time. More importantly, Big Data has to be of high value, and should be protected in an efficient way. Since Big Data involves a huge amount of data that is of high-dimensionality and inter-linkage, existing trust, security, and privacy measures for traditional databases and infrastructures cannot satisfy its requirements.

Zhangjiajie is an emerging tourist destination famous for its unique natural scenery and abundant tourism resources. It is located in the northwest of Hunan province, about 400 kilometers away from Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, covering a total area of 9,516 square kilometers, of which 76% are mountainous area. Out of its total population of 1.52 million, almost 77% belong to ethnic minority groups, including Tujia, Bai and Miao nationalities. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park was established by the State Council in 1982 as the first National Forest Park of China. Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie was listed into the World Natural Heritage Catalogue by the UNESCO in 1992 and appraised as a national AAAAA scenic area. Zhangjiajie was awarded the title of "World Geological Park" in 2004. The amazing landscape here had been a source of creation of the CGI artist in the Avatar movie, and since the movie was released and achieved a great success, many tourists keeping coming to Zhangjiajie admiring this natural beauty. The Second International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2022) stems from three conference/symposium/workshop series: (1) The well-established SpaCCS conference series with Springer LNCS: UbiSec is inspired by the SpaCCS style of three tracks (Security, Privacy, and Anonymity, "Spa" for short), which covers "Big Security" leveraging computation, communication and storage ("CCS" for short) systems and networks. UbiSec extends this style with three new tracks: Cyberspace Security, Cyberspace Privacy, and Cyberspace Anonymity. (2) The UbiSafe symposium series: UbiSec follows the UbiSafe vision on "Ubiquitous Safety", also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SAFE" (pronounced "UbiSafe"). UbiSec extends this vision to "Ubiquitous Security", using "Big Security" to embrace NOT ONLY security, privacy and anonymity, BUT ALSO safety, reliability, dependability, trustworthiness and more, also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SEC(ure)" (pronounced "UbiSec"). (3) The IWCSS workshop series: UbiSec follows the IWCSS theme on "Cyberspace Security", with "Cyberspace" as the 5th national sovereign space besides the traditional four domains of land, sea, air, and aerospace. UbiSec extends this theme to "Ubiquitous Security", meaning that cyberspace will be secure, physical world will be secure, social networking systems will be secure, and thus "YOU (will) BE SECure"! The UbiSec 2022 Conference ("The Conference" for short) is the second event in the series of conferences/symposia/workshops which are devoted to security, privacy and anonymity in cyberspace, physical world, and social networks. The Conference covers many dimensions including security algorithms and architectures, privacy-aware policies, regulations and techniques, anonymous computation and communication, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial application systems for cyberspace, physical world, and social networking systems. As applications of computer and information technology have permeated in every aspect of our daily life, the issues of security, privacy, and anonymity have become increasingly critical. The Conference will provide a forum for world-class researchers to gather and share their research achievements, emerging ideas and trends in the highly challenging research fields. UbiSec 2022 follows the UbiSec 2021 conference in Guangzhou and also the traditions of previous successful SpaCCS/UbiSafe/IWCSS conference/symposium/workshop series, held in Nanjing, China (SpaCCS 2020/UbiSafe 2020), Guangzhou, China (IWCSS 2020); Altanta, USA (SpaCCS 2019/UbiSafe 2019), Guangzhou, China (IWCSS 2019); Melbourne, Australia (SpaCCS 2018/UbiSafe 2018), Guangzhou China (IWCSS 2018); Guangzhou, China (SpaCCS 2017/UbiSafe 2017/IWCSS 2017); Zhangjiajie, China (SpaCCS 2016/UbiSafe 2016); Helsinki, Finland (UbiSafe 2015); Beijing, China (UbiSafe 2014); Melbourne, Australia (UbiSafe 2013); Liverpool, UK (UbiSafe 2012); Changsha, China (UbiSafe 2011); Chengdu China (UbiSafe 2009); and Niagara Falls, Canada (UbiSafe 2007). The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working in the research fields of security, privacy, and anonymity aspects of computer systems and networks. The conference will focus on broad areas of architectures, algorithms, techniques, and applications for cyberspace security, cyberspace privacy, and cyberspace anonymity.

IARCS Verification Seminar Series -- Talk by Shibashis Guha on Nov. 1 at 1900 hrs IST

by VSS IARCS

Dear all, The next talk in the IARCS Verification Seminar Series will be given by Shibashis Guha, a faculty member at the School of Technology and Computer Science at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. The talk is scheduled on Tuesday, November 1, at 1900 hrs IST (add to Google calendar <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=MGsxMHR2dT…> ). The details of the talk can be found on our webpage ( https://fmindia.cmi.ac.in/vss/), and also appended to the body of this email. The Verification Seminar Series, an initiative by the Indian Association for Research in Computing Science (IARCS), is a monthly, online talk-series, broadly in the area of Formal Methods and Programming Languages, with applications in Verification and Synthesis. The aim of this talk-series is to provide a platform for Formal Methods researchers to interact regularly. In addition, we hope that it will make it easier for researchers to explore newer problems/areas and collaborate on them, and for younger researchers to start working in these areas. All are welcome to join. Best regards, Akash, Deepak, Madhukar, Srivathsan ============================================================= Title: A Game of Pawns Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89164094870?pwd=eUFNRWp0bHYxRVpwVVNoVUdHU0djQT09 (Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194) Abstract: We introduce and study pawn games; a class of two-player turn-based zero-sum games in which the control of vertices changes dynamically throughout the game. Pawn games naturally model ongoing decision-making setting in which resources are transferable. Each vertex of a pawn game is owned by a pawn. In each round of the game, the pawns are partitioned between the two players. The player who moves the token from a vertex is the player who controls the pawn that owns the vertex. A pawn game is equipped with a mechanism, which the players apply after each round in order to update the set of pawns that they control. We define several grabbing-based mechanisms in which control of at most one pawn transfers at the end of each round. We study the complexity of solving reachability pawn games, where we parameterize the problem by the mechanism that is being used and by restrictions on pawn ownership of vertices. For the positive news, even though pawn games are exponentially-succinct turn-based games, we identify some natural classes that can be solved in PTIME. For the negative news, we identify some classes for which the problem is EXPTIME-complete. Our EXPTIME-hardness results are based on a class of games which we introduce and call Lock-and-Key games, and which may be of independent interest. This is a joint work with Guy Avni and Pranav Ghorpade. Bio: Shibashis Guha is a faculty member at the School of Technology and Computer Science at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. Before this, he was a postdoc at the Verification Group in Université libre de Bruxelles and at The Hebrew University in the group of Prof. Orna Kupferman. He did his PhD from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Delhi, under the supervision of Prof. S. Arun-Kumar. His research interests include reactive synthesis, probabilistic systems, timed automata, behavioural equivalences, formal methods and its intersection with algorithmic game theory.

First Call for Papers ABZ2023 International Conference on Rigorous State Based Methods

by Étienne André

*********************************************************************** First Call for Papers ABZ 2023: International Conference on Rigorous State Based Methods LORIA, Université de Lorraine, Nancy, France. May 30-June 2, 2023 https://abz2023.loria.fr *********************************************************************** ---------------- Important dates ---------------- Workshops/Tutorials Workshop proposal submission: November 01, 2022 Workshop notification: November 15, 2022 Tutorial proposal submission: February 16, 2023 Case Study Track Abstract submission: December 05, 2022 Paper submission: December 18, 2022 Notification: January 28, 2023 Final version: March 06, 2023 Main Track Abstract submission: January 16, 2023 Paper submission: January 23, 2023 (including research/short/industry papers) Notification: March 6, 2023 Final version: March 27, 2023 Doctoral Symposium Paper submission: January 23, 2023 Notification: March 6, 2023 Final version: March 27, 2023 Conference Workshops and Tutorials : May 30, 2023 ABZ 2023 conference: May 31-June 02, 2023 ---------- About ABZ ---------- The ABZ conference is dedicated to the cross-fertilization of state-based and machine-based formal methods, like Abstract State Machines (ASM), Alloy, B, TLA, VDM and Z, that share a common conceptual foundation and are widely used in both academia and industry for the design and analysis of hardware and software systems. The conference aims for a vital exchange of knowledge and experience among the research communities around different formal methods. The name ABZ goes back to the first conference in London in 2008, where the ASM, B and Z conference series were merged into a joint event. In the following years other formal methods were added, e.g. Alloy in 2010 (Orford, Canada), VDM in 2012 (Pisa, Italy), and TLA + in 2014 (Toulouse, France). After the also successful 2016 conferences in Linz, Austria and 2018 in Southampton, UK, it was decided to name the conference "ABZ: International Conference on Rigorous State Based Methods", to stress the openness for further state-based formal methods. We hope to continue many fruitful discussions between representatives of the individual methods in the past, which will bring us closer to the common goal of this research community: the creation of reliable and safe software. ABZ2020 and ABZ2021 were the two first new entitled conferences planned in Ulm but virtually organised. ABZ 2023 will have a main conference track, a case study track, tutorials and workshops. --------------- Main ABZ Track --------------- Contributions are solicited on all aspects of the theory and applications of ASMs, Alloy, B, TLA, VDM, Z and other state-based rigour approaches in software/hardware engineering, including the development of tools and industrial applications. The program spans from theoretical and methodological foundations to practical applications, emphasizing system engineering methods and tools that are distinguished by mathematical rigor and have proved to be industrially viable. The main goal of the conference is to contribute to the integration of accurate state- and machine-based system development methods, clarifying their commonalities and differences to better understand how to combine different approaches for accomplishing the various tasks in modeling, experimental validation, mathematical verification of reliable high-quality hardware/software systems. Although organized to host several formal methods in a single event, editorial control of the joint conference is vested in one integrated program committee. ----------------- Case Study Track ----------------- As successfully practiced since ABZ 2014, the 10th edition of ABZ will again include special sessions dedicated to an industrial case study. We explicitly invite you to also submit contributions to case studies from previous conferences, which substantially extend the solutions presented there in one aspect or another. Possible enhancements could be new proof techniques, more elegant modeling, generation, verification, or validation of executable code, etc. See https://abz2023.loria.fr/case-study for a detailed description of the new case study and links to the previous ones. -------------------------------- Workshop and Tutorial Proposals -------------------------------- Workshops and tutorials will be associated with the main event ABZ. Proposals are solicited in areas related to the conference topics. A workshop proposal should contain the title of the workshop, a short description of the scientific content, the names and brief CVs of the workshop organizers, the intended PC for the workshop, the duration of the workshop, and the expected number of participants. A tutorial proposal should contain the title of the tutorial, a short description of the scientific content, the names and brief CVs of the tutorial presenters and the duration. Please submit your proposals to dominique dot mery at loria.fr. ------------ Submissions ------------ Four kinds of contributions are invited: * Full Research papers: full papers of not more than 16 pages in LNCS format, which have to be original, unpublished and not submitted elsewhere. * Short presentations of work in progress, and tool demonstrations.An extended abstract of not more than 6 pages is expected and will be reviewed. * Application in industry papers: reporting on work or experiences on the application of state based formal methods in industry. An extended abstract of not more than 8 pages is expected and will be reviewed. It is also an interesting option for industrial practitioners who sometimes face too many constraints to prepare a full paper. * Answers to case study papers: full papers of not more than 16 pages in LNCS format reporting on the experiments conducted with any of the state based techniques in the scope of ABZ 2023. We also expect a link to a webpage, where the produced models can be downloaded. * Contribution to doctoral symposium:This is an excellent opportunity for PhD students to present their ongoing work and receive valuable feedback from the ABZ community. Please submit a short paper of no more than 4 pages Accepted papers will appear in the Springer LNCS proceedings. The deadlines for the different kinds of contributions see above. ------------------- Organization ------------------- Conference Chairs: Uwe Glässer (CoChair), Simon Fraser University, Canada Dominique Méry (CoChair), Université de Lorraine & LORIA, France Case Study Chair: José Creissac Campos, Departamento de Informática - Universidade do Minho, Portugal.

These automata can model algorithms whose inputs can be an unbounded sequence of real-valued query answers. We consider the problem of checking whether there exists a constant $d$ such that the algorithm described by these automata are $d\epsilon$-differentially private for all positive values of the privacy budget parameter $\epsilon$. We show that this problem can be decided in time linear in the automaton's size by identifying a necessary and sufficient condition on the underlying graph of the automaton. This paper's results are the first decidability results known for algorithms with an unbounded number of query answers taking values from the set of reals. This is joint work with Rohit Chadha and Prasad Sistla. Bio: Mahesh Viswanathan is a faculty member at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research interests are in the core areas of logic, automata theory, and algorithm design, with applications to the algorithmic verification of systems. Most recently, his research has been focussed on the dynamic analysis of multi-threaded programs, model checking of cyberphysical systems and stochastic systems, and formal analysis of stochastic security protocols and differential privacy.
