IARCS Verification Seminar Series -- Talk by Subodh Sharma on Sept. 6 at 1900 hrs IST
by VSS IARCS 05 Sep '22

05 Sep '22

Dear all, The next talk in the IARCS Verification Seminar Series will be given by Subodh Sharma, a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Delhi. The talk is scheduled on Tuesday, September 6, at 1900 hrs IST (add to Google calendar <https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=NWNpZWM5bTR2YzV1c20…> ). The details of the talk can be found on the 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, Deepak, Madhukar, Rahul, Srivathsan ============================================================= Title: Exploiting partial orders and symmetries in efficient analysis of message-passing concurrency Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89164094870?pwd=eUFNRWp0bHYxRVpwVVNoVUdHU0djQT09 (Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194) Abstract: The message passing paradigm is the lingua franca for developing large distributed-memory programs, such as high-performance scientific computing and event-driven web applications. Message-passing applications are often found to be using communication nondeterminism (used primarily to obtain efficiency by masking network latencies) and symmetric communication among processes (which keeps programming simple). Under communication nondeterminism, a process can post (possibly asynchronous) receive calls that can potentially match any of the messages sent to the process. Under symmetric communication, a process's communication structure may be partly or completely symmetric with the communication structure of other processes. Interestingly, communication nondeterminism is one of the important sources of analysis complexity and detecting symmetries is, in general, hard. This talk will present practical techniques to efficiently analyse message passing programs by (i) exploiting partial order among the communication dependencies and (ii) detecting symmetries in process-communication. The work in this talk has been published in TOPLAS 2017, FM 2018, ICST 2021, and ASE 2022. Bio: Subodh Sharma is a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Delhi. His research interests lie in the area of software engineering and formal methods, particularly in ensuring the reliability of parallel software via static and dynamic program analyses, model checking, and PL solutions, and employing HPC towards the creation of scalable verification technology. Lately, his research investigations have also spanned the areas of systems security, data privacy, and Blockchain.

Post-doc hiring in Singapore-French collaborative program Descartes on Formal Reasoning and AI
by Abhik Roychoudhury 25 Aug '22

25 Aug '22

*Post-doc hiring in Singapore-French collaborative program Descartes on Formal Reasoning and AI* Several Post-doctoral positions are invited in the 5-year research program Descartes: Intelligent Modeling for Decision-making in Critical Urban Systems. This program is jointly between National University of Singapore (NUS), CNRS France, and several organizations in Singapore and France. One facet of the program deals with formal reasoning and AI, for which we are seeking to hire a postdoctoral research fellow. The research work is on trustworthy AI, intersecting between formal methods and AI. See https://descartes.cnrsatcreate.cnrs.fr/wp-1-trustworthy-hybrid-ai/ It will focus on one or more of the following research themes: 1.We want to provide /formal /guarantees about the intelligent systems, considering all possible behaviors. In doing so, combining formal reasoning with learning processes, we will contribute to the development of /neuro-symbolic reasoning/. Moving forward from verification, it would also be critical for autonomous systems to employ self-healing, subject to adaptations in the environment which includes humans. In this context, there exist significant opportunities in /automated code generation and rectification/ using language models, and using formal reasoning to enhance trust in the generated code. 2.At the same time, the verification of hyper-properties of intelligent systems has gained importance, with newer techniques for privacy, robustness and fairness. Formal methods to establish hyper-properties in intelligent decision-making may thus decompose a high-dimensional input space into hyper-cubes and calculate the “desired” probabilities of the hyper-cubes to preserve an overall hyper-property for the entire system. Alternatively, the probabilistic nature of hyper-properties may be exploited to establish their validity by adaptively sampling inputs from a high dimensional space. 3.We will develop deductive reasoning-based explanations of hyper-property violations (apart from explaining the AI model predictions), which can then be used by neuro-symbolic reasoning technique to rectify the AI models so that it can satisfy fairness/robustness etc. We also plan to study interactive mechanisms for producing explanations while considering the cognitive load of understanding the explanations by human users. The post-doc will work from CREATE Tower on the National University of Singapore campus which is a leading university in Asia and provides significant opportunities for career growth, supervised jointly by French and Singaporean colleagues.

Dear Prospective Authors, *10th INDIAN CONFERENCE ON LOGIC AND ITS APPLICATIONS* March 3-5, 2023 IIT Indore, India https://icla2023.iiti.ac.in/index.html *SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS* ALI, the Association for Logic in India, announces the tenth edition of its biennial International Conference on Logic and its Applications (ICLA), to be held at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore, from March 3rd to 5th, 2023. ICLA is a forum for bringing together researchers from a wide variety of fields in which formal logic plays a significant role, including mathematicians, philosophers, computer scientists, linguists, logicians studying foundations of formal logic. A special feature of this conference is the inclusion of studies in systems of logic in the Indian tradition, and historical research on logic. As in the earlier events in this series, we shall have eminent logicians as invited speakers. Details of the last ICLA (2021) may be found at https://www.isichennai.res.in/~sujata/icla2021/index.html *Submission guidelines:* Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research in any area of logic and applications. Articles on mathematical and philosophical logic, foundations and philosophy of mathematics and the sciences, set theory, history of logic, Indian systems of logic, use of formal logic in areas of theoretical computer science, formal verification and artificial intelligence, or on the relationship between logic and other branches of knowledge, are welcome. Submissions must be in English and should provide sufficient detail to allow the programme committee to assess the merits of the paper. The submission may not exceed 12 pages in Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes LaTeX2e style. All submissions will be in electronic form and submitted through Easychair via https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=icla2023. If necessary, detailed proofs of technical results can be included in a clearly marked appendix which may be read at the discretion of the programme committee. The submission must be a PDF file. Concurrent submission to journals or to other conferences with proceedings is not allowed. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be made available at the time of the conference. It is expected that the conference proceedings will appear as a volume in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. For an accepted paper to be included in the proceedings, one of the authors must commit to presenting the paper at the conference. *Important dates:* Deadline for Submission: *2 October 2022* Notification to Authors: *29 November 2022* Deadline for camera-ready papers: *16 December 2022* Conference dates: *3rd - 5th March 2023* *Programme committee:* • *C.
