Presentation reports will receive a lightweight review to establish their relevance for DataMod. All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted concurrently for publication elsewhere. Authors are invited to submit their presentation report via Easychair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=datamod2025 Papers must be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer LNCS papers, without modifications of margins and other space-saving measures. Authors should therefore consult Springer's authors' instructions and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are also available in Overleaf. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. Each paper will be reviewed by three Program Committee members. Notification and reviews will be communicated via email through the Easychair platform. Accepted papers (both regular and short) will be included in a dedicated LNCS post-proceedings volume published by Springer after the Symposium.

The conference is organized by IARCS, the Indian Association for Research in Computing Science (https://www.iarcs.org.in/), in association with ACM India (https://india.acm.org/). It is a very visible forum for presenting original results in foundational aspects of Computer Science and Software Technology. As in the previous years, this year too, co-located with the main FSTTCS conference, IARCS is organizing the Workshop on Research Highlights in Programming Languages (RHPL@FSTTCS). The focus of the workshop will be on all areas of Programming Languages (PL), including but not limited to: - Applied formal methods - Automated and interactive theorem provers - Compilers - Concurrency and memory models - Domain and type theories - Program analysis and verification - Program sketching, synthesis and repair - Programming language design and semantics Further, in view of the increasing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in PL theory and practice, the workshop also includes in its scope themes pertaining to the influences of AI/ML concepts and tools on the mentioned PL topics, and vice-versa; for instance, probabilistic programming languages. The website for the workshop is: https://fmindia.cmi.ac.in/rhpl2025/. The objective of RHPL is to foster interactions between the attendees of the workshop, and more broadly between researchers working on Programming Languages and the traditional FSTTCS community of researchers working on Theoretical Computer Science and Formal Methods. We solicit: (1) Talk proposals: On recent work that has been published in good venues, or is mature in terms of approach and evaluation. (2) Poster proposals: On early ideas that are promising but have not been developed fully. Selections of these proposals will be made based on the promise of research possibilities and their novelty. Proposals to the workshop can be based on one or more works, published or unpublished. They may be submitted using the Google form below. https://forms.gle/RufuAs54zxsadp1n7 The important dates for the workshop are as below. All dates are in Indian Standard Time (IST). - Submission portal opens: July 28, 2025 - Submission deadline: September 18, 2025 - Notification: September 25, 2025 - Early registration deadline: TBA - RHPL@FSTTCS: TBA We look forward to receiving your talk/poster proposals to the workshop.

Reminder: Logic Education Webinar on August 11 at 6:30 pm

by Madhavan Mukund

----- Forwarded message from R Ramanujam <jam(a)imsc.res.in> ----- webpage: https://resources.illc.uva.nl/Commission-on-Logic-Education/news-events/ zoom link: URL: https://cmi-ac-in.zoom.us/j/83042980483?pwd=8qXaJ6WqzLVEROZD1HrZ3b6aFhwyao.1 Meeting ID: 830 4298 0483 Passcode: 546866 WHAT ASPECTS OF STUDENT LANGUAGE USE DO NOT COMPORT WITH MATHEMATICAL LOGIC? Speaker: PAUL CHRISTIAN DAWKINS, Professor Of Mathematics, Texas State University Date: August 11, 2025 Time: 0800 HOURS (DALLAS) 1000 (Brasilia) 1500 (Paris) 1830 (Bangalore) 2100 (Beijing) Abstract: Based on over a decade of experiments working to support students in reflecting on their use of mathematical language to help them reinvent some basic logical structures, I have gained some insights about university students’ untrained interpretations of mathematical language. Combining these empirical findings with insights from psychology, pragmatics, and linguistics, I have come to appreciate the coherence and rationality of students’ language use even when it proves incompatible with logical structure. In this talk, I will share some stories of student thinking that have given me some helpful insight into how their language use differed in important ways from mathematical language use. Hopefully, these contrasts will help instructors and researchers understand the challenges that logic instruction must overcome to support students in formalizing and systematizing their reasoning about mathematical language. ----- End forwarded message -----
