Title: A Game of Pawns
Meeting Link:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89164094870?pwd=eUFNRWp0bHYxRVpwVVNoVUdHU0djQT09
(Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194)
Abstract: We introduce and study pawn games; a class of two-player
turn-based zero-sum games in which the control of vertices changes
dynamically throughout the game. Pawn games naturally model ongoing
decision-making setting in which resources are transferable. Each vertex of
a pawn game is owned by a pawn. In each round of the game, the pawns are
partitioned between the two players. The player who moves the token from a
vertex is the player who controls the pawn that owns the vertex. A pawn
game is equipped with a mechanism, which the players apply after each round
in order to update the set of pawns that they control. We define several
grabbing-based mechanisms in which control of at most one pawn transfers at
the end of each round. We study the complexity of solving reachability pawn
games, where we parameterize the problem by the mechanism that is being
used and by restrictions on pawn ownership of vertices. For the positive
news, even though pawn games are exponentially-succinct turn-based games,
we identify some natural classes that can be solved in PTIME. For the
negative news, we identify some classes for which the problem is
EXPTIME-complete. Our EXPTIME-hardness results are based on a class of
games which we introduce and call Lock-and-Key games, and which may be of
independent interest.
This is a joint work with Guy Avni and Pranav Ghorpade.
Bio: Shibashis Guha is a faculty member at the School of Technology and
Computer Science at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. Before
this, he was a postdoc at the Verification Group in Université libre de
Bruxelles and at The Hebrew University in the group of Prof. Orna
Kupferman. He did his PhD from the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering at IIT Delhi, under the supervision of Prof. S. Arun-Kumar. His
research interests include reactive synthesis, probabilistic systems, timed
automata, behavioural equivalences, formal methods and its intersection
with algorithmic game theory.

----------
About ABZ
----------
The ABZ conference is dedicated to the cross-fertilization of
state-based and machine-based formal methods, like Abstract State
Machines (ASM), Alloy, B, TLA, VDM and Z, that share a common conceptual
foundation and are widely used in both academia and industry for the
design and analysis of hardware and software systems. The conference
aims for a vital exchange of knowledge and experience among the research
communities around different formal methods.
The name ABZ goes back to the first conference in London in 2008,
where the ASM, B and Z conference series were merged into a joint
event. In the following years other formal methods were added,
e.g. Alloy in 2010 (Orford, Canada), VDM in 2012 (Pisa, Italy), and
TLA + in 2014 (Toulouse, France). After the also successful 2016
conferences in Linz, Austria and 2018 in Southampton, UK, it was
decided to name the conference "ABZ: International Conference on
Rigorous State Based Methods", to stress the openness for further
state-based formal methods. We hope to continue many fruitful
discussions between representatives of the individual methods in the
past, which will bring us closer to the common goal of this research
community: the creation of reliable and safe software. ABZ2020 and
ABZ2021 were the two first new entitled conferences planned in Ulm but
virtually organised.
ABZ 2023 will have a main conference track, a case study track,
tutorials and workshops.
---------------
Main ABZ Track
---------------
Contributions are solicited on all aspects of the theory and
applications of ASMs, Alloy, B, TLA, VDM, Z and other state-based rigour
approaches in software/hardware engineering, including the development
of tools and industrial applications. The program spans from theoretical
and methodological foundations to practical applications, emphasizing
system engineering methods and tools that are distinguished by
mathematical rigor and have proved to be industrially viable. The main
goal of the conference is to contribute to the integration of accurate
state- and machine-based system development methods, clarifying their
commonalities and differences to better understand how to combine
different approaches for accomplishing the various tasks in modeling,
experimental validation, mathematical verification of reliable
high-quality hardware/software systems. Although organized to host
several formal methods in a single event, editorial control of the joint
conference is vested in one integrated program committee.
-----------------
Case Study Track
-----------------
As successfully practiced since ABZ 2014, the 10th edition of ABZ will
again include special sessions dedicated to an industrial case study. We
explicitly invite you to also submit contributions to case studies from
previous conferences, which substantially extend the solutions presented
there in one aspect or another. Possible enhancements could be new proof
techniques, more elegant modeling, generation, verification, or
validation of executable code, etc.
See https://abz2023.loria.fr/case-study for a detailed description of
the new case study and links to the previous ones.
--------------------------------
Workshop and Tutorial Proposals
--------------------------------
Workshops and tutorials will be associated with the main event ABZ.
Proposals are solicited in areas related to the conference topics.
A workshop proposal should contain the title of the workshop, a short
description of the scientific content, the names and brief CVs of the
workshop organizers, the intended PC for the workshop, the duration of
the workshop, and the expected number of participants.
A tutorial proposal should contain the title of the tutorial, a short
description of the scientific content, the names and brief CVs of the
tutorial presenters and the duration.
Please submit your proposals to dominique dot mery at loria.fr.

* Short presentations of work in progress, and tool demonstrations.An
extended abstract of not more than 6 pages is expected and will be reviewed.
* Application in industry papers: reporting on work or experiences on
the application of state based formal methods in industry. An extended
abstract of not more than 8 pages is expected and will be reviewed. It
is also an interesting option for industrial practitioners who sometimes
face too many constraints to prepare a full paper.
* Answers to case study papers: full papers of not more than 16
pages in LNCS format reporting on the experiments conducted with
any of the state based techniques in the scope of ABZ 2023. We
also expect a link to a webpage, where the produced models can be
downloaded.
* Contribution to doctoral symposium:This is an excellent opportunity
for PhD students to present their ongoing work and receive valuable
feedback from the ABZ community. Please submit a short paper of no more
than 4 pages
Accepted papers will appear in the Springer LNCS proceedings. The
deadlines for the different kinds of contributions see above.

Call for Papers for the 13th International Workshop on Trust, Security and Privacy for Big Data (TrustData 2022)
Venue & Dates:
Zhangjiajie, China, December 28 - 31, 2022
Conference Website:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
The proliferation of new technologies such as Internet of Things and cloud computing calls for innovative ideas to retrieve, filter,
and integrate data from a large number of diverse data sources. Big Data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose
volume/velocity/variability is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to manage and process the data within a tolerable
period of time. More importantly, Big Data has to be of high value, and should be protected in an efficient way. Since Big Data
involves a huge amount of data that is of high-dimensionality and inter-linkage, existing trust, security, and privacy measures for
traditional databases and infrastructures cannot satisfy its requirements. Novel technologies for protecting Big Data are attracting
researchers and practitioners with more and more attention.

Title: On Linear Time Decidability of Differential Privacy for Programs
with Unbounded Inputs
Meeting Link:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89164094870?pwd=eUFNRWp0bHYxRVpwVVNoVUdHU0djQT09
(Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194)
Abstract: We introduce an automata model for describing interesting
classes of differential privacy mechanisms/algorithms that include known
mechanisms from the literature. These automata can model algorithms whose
inputs can be an unbounded sequence of real-valued query answers. We
consider the problem of checking whether there exists a constant $d$ such
that the algorithm described by these automata are
$d\epsilon$-differentially private for all positive values of the privacy
budget parameter $\epsilon$. We show that this problem can be decided in
time linear in the automaton's size by identifying a necessary and
sufficient condition on the underlying graph of the automaton. This paper's
results are the first decidability results known for algorithms with an
unbounded number of query answers taking values from the set of reals.
This is joint work with Rohit Chadha and Prasad Sistla.
Bio: Mahesh Viswanathan is a faculty member at the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign. His research interests are in the core areas of logic,
automata theory, and algorithm design, with applications to the algorithmic
verification of systems. Most recently, his research has been focussed on
the dynamic analysis of multi-threaded programs, model checking of
cyberphysical systems and stochastic systems, and formal analysis of
stochastic security protocols and differential privacy.

around the world for over 25 years. Over the past years, we have seen a
rapidly rising emphasis on the design, implementation and management of
complex computer systems which are present in every aspect of human
activities, such as manufacturing, communications, defence,
transportation, aerospace, hazardous environments, energy, and
healthcare. These complex systems are frequently distributed over
heterogeneous networks and process a large amount of data. Complexity
arises from many factors, including the dynamic environment and the
scenarios these systems operate in, demanding and sometimes conflicting
requirements in functionality, efficiency, scalability, security,
dependability and adaptability, as well as the wide range of development
methodologies, programming languages and implementation details.
Performance, real-time behaviour, fault tolerance, security,
adaptability, development time and cost, and long life concerns are some
of the key issues arising in the development of such systems.
The goal of this conference is to bring together industrial, academic,
and government experts from a variety of application domains and
software disciplines, to discuss how the disciplines' problems and
solution techniques interact within the whole system. Researchers,
practitioners, tool developers and users, and technology transfer
experts are all welcome. The scope of the conference includes long-term
research issues, near-term requirements and challenges, established
complex systems, emerging promising tools, and retrospective and
prospective reflections of research and development into complex systems.
List of Topics
--------------
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, unpublished
research results, case studies and tools. Papers are solicited in all
areas related to complex computer-based systems, including the causes of
complexity and means of avoiding, controlling, or coping with
complexity. Topic areas include, but are not limited to:
+ Requirements analysis and specification
+ Verification and validation
+ Security and privacy of complex systems
+ Model-driven development
+ Reverse engineering and refactoring
+ Software Architecture
+ Human Machine Inetraction
+ Big data management
+ Ubiquitous computing, context awareness, sensor networks
+ SAT/SMT solvers for software analysis and testing
+ Agile methods
+ Safety-critical and fault-tolerant architectures
+ Adaptive, self-managing and multi-agent systems
+ Cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things (IoT)
+ Industrial case studies
Different kinds of contributions are sought, including novel research,
lessons learned, experience reports, and discussions of practical
problems faced by industry and user domains. The ultimate goal is to
build a rich and comprehensive conference program that can fit the
interests and needs of different classes of attendees: professionals,
researchers, managers, and students. A program goal is to organize
several sessions that include both academic and industrial papers on a
given topic and culminate panels to discuss relationships between
industrial and academic research.
Submission and Publication
--------------------------
Full papers are divided into two categories: Technical Papers and
Experience Reports. The papers submitted to both categories will be
reviewed by the program committee members, and papers accepted in either
category will be published in the conference proceedings. Technical
papers should describe original research, and experience reports should
present practical projects carried out in the industry, and reflect on
the lessons learnt from them.
Short paper submissions describe early-stage, ongoing or PhD research.
All short papers will be reviewed by the program committee members, and
accepted short papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
Submissions to the conference must not have been published or be
concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will
be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field,
technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the conference. The
proceedings have been published by the Conference Publishing Services
(CPS) of the IEEE Computer Society.
Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of
the double-column IEEE CPS format. Full papers should not exceed 9 pages
+ 1 page for bibliography, and short papers should not exceed 5 pages +
1 page for bibliography, including figures, references, and appendices.
All submissions should be in PDF format. Submissions not adhering to the
specified format and length may be rejected immediately without review.
Please prepare your manuscripts in accordance with the IEEE CPS guidelines.

Introduction
The proliferation of new technologies such as Internet of Things and cloud computing calls for innovative ideas to retrieve, filter, and integrate data from a large number of diverse data sources. Big Data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose volume/velocity/variability is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to manage and process the data within a tolerable period of time. More importantly, Big Data has to be of high value, and should be protected in an efficient way. Since Big Data involves a huge amount of data that is of high-dimensionality and inter-linkage, existing trust, security, and privacy measures for traditional databases and infrastructures cannot satisfy its requirements. Novel technologies for protecting Big Data are attracting researchers and practitioners with more and more attention.
