Call For Abstracts for 1st Workshop on GenAI based Software Engineering (https://genai4se.github.io/ISEC-Workshop/)

by Raveendra Medicherla

TCS Confidential 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 Contact: GenAIForSe.ISECWorkshop(a)tcs.com<mailto:GenAIForSe.ISECWorkshop@tcs.com> GenAIForSe(a)gmail.com<mailto:GenAIForSe@gmail.com> Organizers: Raveendra Kumar M , TCS Research Ravindra Naik, TCS Research, Asha Rajbhoj, TCS Research Manasi Patwardhan, TCS Research Regards M.

----- Forwarded message from Saurabh Joshi <s.joshi(a)supraoracles.com> ----- From: Saurabh Joshi <s.joshi(a)supraoracles.com> To: madhavan(a)cmi.ac.in Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2023 12:44:05 +0530 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. Suitable interested candidates may apply here: https://supraoracles.com/careers/4967045004/ *--------------------------------------------------------------------------* *Saurabh Joshi* *Principal Researcher | SupraOracles* Current Timezone: New Delhi, India (GMT+5:30) Learn more and connect with SupraOracles here <https://linktr.ee/supraoracles>. ----- End forwarded message -----

IARCS Verification Seminar Series -- Talk by Madhusudan Parthasarathy on Nov. 28 at 1900 hrs IST

by VSS IARCS

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.
