co-located with CONCUR, FMICS and QEST as part of CONFEST 2023
SCOPE & TOPICS
FORMATS (International Conference on Formal Modeling and Analysis of
Timed Systems) is an annual conference which aims to promote the study
of fundamental and practical aspects of timed systems, and to bring
together researchers from different disciplines that share interests in
the modelling, design and analysis of timed computational systems. The
conference aims to attract researchers interested in real-time issues in
hardware design, performance analysis, real-time software, scheduling,
semantics and verification of real-timed, hybrid and probabilistic systems.
Typical topics include (but are not limited to):
- Foundations and Semantics: Theoretical foundations of timed systems,
languages and models (e.g., timed automata, timed Petri nets, hybrid
automata, timed process algebra, max-plus algebra, probabilistic models).
- Methods and Tools: Techniques, algorithms, data structures, and
software tools for analyzing timed systems and resolving temporal
constraints (e.g., scheduling, worst-case execution time analysis,
optimization, model checking, testing, constraint solving).
- Applications: Adaptation and specialization of timing technology in
application domains in which timing plays an important role (e.g.,
real-time software, hardware circuits, scheduling in manufacturing and
telecommunication, robotics).
This year, FORMATS will incorporate a special track on:
- Monitoring of cyber-physical systems. We encourage the submission of
papers on all approaches related to the monitoring of cyber-physical
systems, including monitoring methods, monitoring applications (such as
robustness-guided falsification), and related techniques (such as
validation of a formal specification for monitoring).

=======================================================================================
27th International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems
(ICECCS 2023)
=======================================================================================
Dates: Wednesday, 14th June - Friday, 16th June 2023,
Venue: Toulouse, France
https://www.irit.fr/iceccs2023/
The 27th International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer
Systems (ICECCS 2023) is a well-established event that has been held
around the world for over 25 years. Over the past years, we have seen a
rapidly rising emphasis on the design, implementation and management of
complex computer systems which are present in every aspect of human
activities, such as manufacturing, communications, defence,
transportation, aerospace, hazardous environments, energy, and
healthcare. These complex systems are frequently distributed over
heterogeneous networks and process a large amount of data. Complexity
arises from many factors, including the dynamic environment and the
scenarios these systems operate in, demanding and sometimes conflicting
requirements in functionality, efficiency, scalability, security,
dependability and adaptability, as well as the wide range of development
methodologies, programming languages and implementation details.
Performance, real-time behaviour, fault tolerance, security,
adaptability, development time and cost, and long life concerns are some
of the key issues arising in the development of such systems.
The goal of this conference is to bring together industrial, academic,
and government experts from a variety of application domains and
software disciplines, to discuss how the disciplines' problems and
solution techniques interact within the whole system. Researchers,
practitioners, tool developers and users, and technology transfer
experts are all welcome. The scope of the conference includes long-term
research issues, near-term requirements and challenges, established
complex systems, emerging promising tools, and retrospective and
prospective reflections of research and development into complex systems.

Title: SAT-Based Invariant Inference and Its Relation to Concept Learning
Meeting Link:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89164094870?pwd=eUFNRWp0bHYxRVpwVVNoVUdHU0djQT09
(Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194)
Abstract: In recent years SAT-based invariant inference algorithms such as
interpolation-based model checking and PDR/IC3 have proven to be extremely
successful in practice. However, the essence of their practical success and
their performance guarantees are far less understood. This talk surveys
results that establish formal connections and distinctions between
SAT-based invariant inference and exact concept learning with queries,
showing that learning techniques and algorithms can clarify foundational
questions, illuminate existing algorithms, and suggest new directions for
efficient invariant inference.
Bio: Sharon Shoham Buchbinder is an Associate Professor in the School of
Computer Science at Tel Aviv University. Her main areas of research are
formal verification and program analysis.

7th Women in Logic Workshop (WiL 2023)
Second Call for Contributions
Workshop Date: July 1, 2023 (Rome and online)
Women in Logic: www.womeninlogic.org
WiL 2023: https://sites.google.com/view/wil2023/home
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Women in Logic 2023 is a satellite event of the 8th International
Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2023)
to be held in Rome, Italy, from July 1 to July 6, 2023.
The Women in Logic workshop (WiL) provides an opportunity to increase
awareness of the valuable contributions made by women in the area of logic
in computer science. Its main purpose is to promote the excellent research
done by women, with the ultimate goal of increasing their visibility and
representation in the community.
Our aim is to:
-provide a platform for female researchers to share their work and
achievements;
-increase the feelings of community and belonging, especially among junior
faculty, post-docs and students through positive interactions with peers
and more established faculty;
-establish new connections and collaborations;
-foster a welcoming culture of mutual support and growth within the logic
research community.
We believe these aspects will benefit women working in logic and computer
science, particularly early-career researchers.
Previous versions of Women in Logic (Reykjavík 2017, Oxford 2018, Vancouver
2019, Paris 2020, Rome 2021, and Haifa 2022) were very successful in
showcasing women's work and as catalysts for a recognition of the need for
change in the community.
WiL 2023 will be a hybrid event, however on-site participation is highly
encouraged.
TOPICS OF INTEREST (include but are not limited to)
automata theory, automated deduction, categorical models and logics,
concurrency and distributed computation, constraint programming,
constructive mathematics, database theory, decision procedures, description
logics, domain theory, finite model theory, formal aspects of program
analysis, formal methods, foundations of computability, games and logic,
higher-order logic, lambda and combinatory calculi, linear logic, logic in
