IARCS Verification Seminar Series -- Talk by Kartik Nagar on June 4 at 1900 hrs IST

by VSS IARCS

Dear all, The next talk in the IARCS Verification Seminar Series will be given by Kartik Nagar, an Assistant Professor at Department of CSE, IIT Madras. The talk is scheduled on Tuesday, June 04, at 1900 hrs IST (add to Google calendar <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=MWlzcXUyN2…> ). 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: Specifying and Verifying Correctness of Mergeable Replicated Data Types Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89164094870?pwd=eUFNRWp0bHYxRVpwVVNoVUdHU0djQT09 (Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194) Abstract: Modern decentralized applications often use multiple replicas/copies of data, each of which can be independently operated, to minimize data access latency, provide fault tolerance and improve scalability. Mergeable Replicated Data Types (MRDTs) have emerged as a systematic approach to the problem of ensuring that replicas remain eventually consistent despite concurrent conflicting updates. MRDTs draw inspiration from the Git version control system, where each update creates a new version and any two versions can be merged explicitly through a user-defined merge function. The full flexibility offered by MRDTs in terms of creating and merging arbitrary versions severely complicates the design and development of correct MRDT implementations. In this talk, I will present two orthogonal approaches for specification and verification of MRDTs: a highly expressive, axiomatic event-based specification approach supported by a semi-automated verification procedure, and a more intuitive (but restrictive) linearizability based specification approach supported by fully automated verification. Bio: Kartik Nagar is an Assistant Professor at Department of CSE, IIT Madras. He completed his PhD from IISc Bangalore, after which he was a postdoc at Purdue University. His research interests are in Automated Formal Verification, Program Analysis and Programming Languages, with emphasis on developing practical verification techniques for concurrent and distributed systems.

UbiSec 2024-Call for Papers-Deadline 15 July 2024

by Qin Liu

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of UbiSec 2024 Preliminary CFPs with Deadline (July 15, 2024). ============================== UbiSec 2024 ============================== Call for Papers (CFPs) of The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024 Organizer: Central South University, China http://ubisecurity.org/2024/ ====================================================================== Keynote Speeches Section TBD. ====================================================================== Invited Talks Section TBD. ====================================================================== Panel Discussions Section TBD. ====================================================================== Special Issues Section TBD. ====================================================================== Welcome to participate in UbiSec 2024, Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024! Changsha is a famous historical and cultural city with a variety of interest. This city has been an important grain production base in China since ancient times. The green and verdant Mt. Yuelu stands in the city and Xiangjiang River is clear as a mirror passing through the city. Orange Isle lies in the heart of the river. In particular, Changsha is very close to Chairman Mao's former residence within one-hour driving. Nowadays, being an intellectual center, Changsha has over 100 research institutions and engineering laboratories. Hybrid rice breeding and the Tianhe supercomputer are the main scientific research achievements. The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) 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 2024 Conference ("The Conference" for short) is the fourth 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.
