Dear All,
We are excited to announce 1st Workshop on GenAI based Software engineering.
About: The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) governs the creation of software systems, encompassing different engineering phases such as requirement specification, design, coding, testing, and maintenance. Software development is an effort-intensive and time-consuming activity. Most complex, large-scale software systems of today derive their requirements from existing (legacy) software and partial (incomplete) descriptions. Thus, expertise from subject matter experts (SMEs) is essential at each phase, which brings in the important component of knowledge. The emergence of Generative AI techniques holds the potential to empower SMEs to construct purposeful engineering artifacts using natural language interactions.
Objective: The proposed workshop (https://genai4se.github.io/ISEC-Workshop/) aims to provide a collaborative platform for researchers from the academia industry, and practitioners. Through this platform, we expect to delve into the convergence of Generative AI, Knowledge Engineering, MDE, Software Understanding, and Software Transformation. This workshop is a part of 17th ISEC 2024 conference (https://conf.researchr.org/home/isec-2024) that will be held at Bangalore, India, from 22nd Feb to 24th Feb 2024 .
Call for Abstracts: We solicit submissions in the form of one-page (max 500 words) abstracts describing case studies, interesting experiments, best practices, and lessons learned while applying Generative AI to various SE areas, but not limited to the following topics:
* Requirements Engineering
* Software Design, Architecture
* Software Development
* AI Code Assistants
* Software Verification, Testing and Debugging
* Software Evolution and Maintenance
* Legacy Modernization
* Reverse Engineering from code, documents
* Responsible AI
* Human interaction with LLMs
Submission link: https://forms.gle/4UqNFpSJb6hSbnxq6
Acceptance criteria: Abstracts will be selected based on reviews by members of the workshop organizing committee. The criteria will be the clarity of articulation of the problem being solved, bringing out the specific need for Generative AI to solve the problem and the novelty of the approach.
Authors of accepted abstracts will receive further instructions for submitting camera-ready presentations. At least one of the authors MUST register for the ISEC conference to present their paper.
Important Dates
* Last date for submitting abstracts: 15 Dec 2023
* Notification of Selected Abstracts: 5 Jan 2024
* Camera Ready submission: 10 Jan 2024

We would like to hire an intern (for up to 6 months) with FM background
being essential (First Order Logic, Hoare Logic, Pre/Post conditions, Loop
invariants) and a good command over any one of the imperative programming
languages. Knowledge/experience with model checkers and/or SMT solvers
would certainly be a plus.
With the internship, we plan to explore the expressivity of the Move
specification language, to enable Move Prover to prove properties about
smart contracts written in the Move programming language. Possibly also
explore internals of Move Prover and how Move is being modelled and whether
any modifications/improvement would aid in formal verification of the smart
contracts.

Dear all,
The next talk in the IARCS Verification Seminar Series will be given
by Madhusudan Parthasarathy, a Professor of Computer Science at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The talk is scheduled on
Tuesday, Nov. 28, at 1900 hrs IST (add to Google calendar
<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=MzViZ3N0an…>
).
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: Learning Logical Expressions
Meeting Link:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89164094870?pwd=eUFNRWp0bHYxRVpwVVNoVUdHU0djQT09
(Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194)
Abstract:
We consider the problem of learning logical formulas/expressions that work
as classifiers of structures. Logic learning has many applications ranging
from program synthesis from input-output examples, learning specifications
from code (contracts and inductive invariants), interpretable concept
learning in AI, synthesizing lemmas to help prove theorems, finding
axiomatizations, and, more generally, replacing certain creative tasks that
currently require human help in many applications.
We will first motivate logic learning using the applications above. We then
will turn a theory lens to this problem by considering when the logic
learning problem is *decidable*. We show a general technique using tree
automata that realize learning algorithms for a variety of logics/languages
ranging from fragments of FOL, regular expressions, temporal logics,
grammars, to string transformation for Excel (as in Flashfill). We in fact
will show a *meta-theorem* that can be used to show a logic is decidable
simply by programming a particular kind of evaluator for its semantics.
This theory suggests that many logics can be learned by using Version Space
Algebras (VSAs) based on tree automata.
If time permits, we will also consider the problem of learning logics
themselves to aid few-shot learning.
Bio: Madhusudan Parthasarathy is a Professor of Computer Science at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has worked on several
projects that turn the theory lens to problems in software verification
including visibly pushdown languages, ICE-learning for learning inductive
invariants, and natural proofs for proving programs that manipulate data
structures. His current interests are in software verification, program
synthesis, and trustworthy AI.
Hi all,
I am excited to announce that I will be joining Boston University as a
tenure-track assistant professor,
and I am looking for motivated PhD students starting in Fall 2024.
My research interests are broadly in the area of programming languages,
with applications in cryptography, distributed systems, and recently in
probabilistic and machine learning models.
More specifically, my research centers around building type systems for
verification and quantitative analysis of concurrent programs with
applications in aforementioned areas.
You can find more details about my research on my webpage:
https://ankushdas.github.io/
If you are interested in working with me, please reach out to me directly
and/or apply to the PhD program at BU (details below).
Beyond my research, the Principles of Programming and Verification group at
Boston University (https://www.bu.edu/cs/research/popv/) has funded PhD
positions for several exciting projects.
Two examples below:
Marco Gaboardi (https://cs-people.bu.edu/gaboardi/) works at the
intersection of programming languages, formal verification, and
differential privacy.
Alley Stoughton (https://alleystoughton.us/) works mainly on using the
EasyCrypt proof assistant to mechanize proofs of the security of
cryptographic protocols. She leads the EasyUC project on mechanizing
security proofs in the universally composable security framework (
https://github.com/easyuc/EasyUC).
