Message about FMIndia subscription being disabled
by Madhavan Mukund 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

A large number of members subscribed to the FMIndia mailing list were automatically unsubsribed today due to "excessive bounces". It is not clear why this happened. I have restored the status of all those who were unsubscribed. If you receive this message, you are in good shape. If you don't, I expect I will get an email from you at some point --- some of you have already written in after this notification went out --- and I will try to address the problem individually. Apologies for this glitch. --Madhavan P.S. I have also changed some settings on the group to try to prevent this from happening again.

World Logic Day talk by Prof. Moshe Vardi | Today, 14 January

14 Jan '25

================== Talk announcement ================== On the occasion of World Logic Day, January 14, 2025, the DLMPST Commission on Logic Education invites you to a webinar by Professor Moshe Vardi. Date: January 14, 2025 Time: 0700 CST, 1300 GMT, 1400 CET, 1830 IST, 2100 (Beijing) Zoom Link: URL: https://cmi-ac-in.zoom.us/j/89055168551?pwd=7SeShMDEKSLw1wy6ZaZj4JEa0hiuqE.1 Meeting ID: 890 5516 8551 Passcode: gangesha Talk details: Machine Learning and Logic: Fast and Slow Thinking Moshe Y. Vardi Rice University Computer science seems to be undergoing a paradigm shift. Much of earlier research was conducted in the framework of well-understood formal models. In contrast, some of the hottest trends today shun formal models and rely on massive data sets and machine learning. A cannonical example of this change is the shift in AI from logic programming to deep learning. I will argue that the correct metaphore for this development is not paradigm shift, but paradigm expansion. Just as General Relativity augments Newtonian Mechanics, rather than replace it -- we went to the moon, after all, using Newtonian Mechanics -- data-driven computing augments model-driven computing. In the context of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and logic correspond to the two modes of human thinking: fast thinking and slow thinking. The challenge today is to integrate the model-driven and data-driven paradigms. I will describe one approach to such an integration -- making logic more quantitative. I will conclude by discussing implications for computer-science education. Speaker Bio: Moshe Y. Vardi is a University Professor, and the George Distinguished Service Professor in Computational Engineering at Rice University. He is the author and co-author of close to 800 papers, as well as two books. He is the recipient of several scientific awards, is a fellow of several societies, and a member of several honorary academies. He holds ten honorary titles. He is a Senior Editor of Communications of the ACM, the premier publication in computing, focusing on societal impact of information technology.

The language of the conference is English, and its proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in LNCS. All accepted papers will be considered for an Outstanding Paper award. Authors of selected papers presented at the conference will be invited to submit an extended version that will be further reviewed for inclusion into a special issue of a renowned journal. ## Tool Exhibition An exhibition of Petri net tools will take place on Wednesday June 25. It consists of informal demonstrations for small groups/individuals and there are no scheduled talks. Requests for participation in the tool exhibition must be sent to the Tool Exhibition chairs by the deadline stated at the top of this Call for Papers. They should include a link to the Web pages for the tool (or a short description of the tool). The demonstrators should bring their own laptops, while the organisers may be requested to give access to the Internet. ## Courses, Workshops and Tutorials The main conference takes place from Wednesday 25 to Friday 27. The two days before the main conference also offer a wide range of activities. The Petri Net Course takes place from Monday 23 to Tuesday 24. It offers a thorough introduction to Petri nets in half-days and full-day modules. For successful participation in the entire course, including preparation and examination, two credit points (ECTS) will be awarded. Each module of the course can also be taken separately, without any credit. Detailed descriptions of Workshops and Tutorials will be made available via the conference Web page. It is also possible to arrange Meetings and Courses related to Petri Nets. Submissions for such activities must contain a 2-5 page description. They must be received by the Workshops and Tutorials chairs via email no later than January 15, 2025. ## Organization The 46th annual international Petri Nets conference will be organised by the LoVe (Logics and Verification) team at the Université Sorbonne Paris Nord (France) jointly with members of the MeFoSyLoMa group. The conference will take place at the Campus Condorcet. ### Organization Committee * Étienne André (Université Sorbonne Paris Nord) * Carlos Olarte (Université Sorbonne Paris Nord) ### Program committee co-chairs * Elvio Amparore, Italy * Łukasz Mikulski, Poland ### Workshops co-chairs * Giuliana Franceschinis, Italy * Karsten Wolf, Germany ### Petri Net Course and Tutorials co-chairs * Jörg Desel, Germany * Lars Kristensen, Norway ### Publicity chair * Benoît Barbot, France ## Program committee * Elvio Amparore, Italy (co-chair) * Abel Armas Cervantes, Australia * João Paulo Barros, Portugal * Benoît Delahaye, France * João Miguel Fernandes, Portugal * Guiliana Franceschinis, Italy * Luis Gomes, Portugal * Xudong He, USA * Loïc Helouet, France * Wojciech Jamroga, Luxemburg * Gabriel Juhás, Slovakia * Anna Kalenkova, Australia * Michael Köhler-Bußmeier, Germany * Lars Kristensen, Norway * Lisa Mannel, Germany * Łukasz Mikulski, Poland (co-chair) * Andrew Miner, USA * Guillermo Alberto Perez, Belgium * Marta Pietkiewicz-Koutny, UK * Artem Polyvyanyy, Australia * Lucia Pomello, Italy * Andrey Rivkin, Denmark * Natalia Sidorova, The Netherlands * Jiří Srba, Denmark * Jeremy Sproston, Italy * Nathalie Sznajder, France * Remigiusz Wisniewski, Poland * Karsten Wolf, Germany
