-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP - Workshop on Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP 2021) Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2021 11:10:22 +0100 From: Miguel Areias <miguel-areias(a)dcc.fc.up.pt> Reply-To: Miguel Areias <miguel-areias(a)dcc.fc.up.pt> ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS PLP 2021: The Eighth Workshop on Probabilistic Logic Programming � http://stoics.org.uk/plp/plp2021 ========================================================================= A workshop of 37th International Conference on Logic Programming September 20-27, 2021 (the event will be virtual) ========================================================================= ** Deadline for submissions: August 1st 2021 Overview ******** Probabilistic logic programming (PLP) approaches have received much attention in this century. They address the need to reason about relational domains under uncertainty arising in a variety of application domains, such as bioinformatics, the semantic web, robotics, and many more. Developments in PLP include new languages that combine logic programming with probability theory, as well as algorithms that operate over programs in these formalisms. The workshop encompasses all aspects of combining logic, algorithms, programming and probability. PLP is part of a wider current interest in probabilistic programming. By promoting probabilities as explicit programming constructs, inference, parameter estimation and learning algorithms can be ran over programs which represent highly structured probability spaces. Due to logic programming's strong theoretical underpinnings, PLP is one of the more disciplined areas of probabilistic programming. It builds upon and benefits from the large body of existing work in logic programming, both in semantics and implementation, but also presents new challenges to the field. PLP reasoning often requires the evaluation of large number of possible states before any answers can be produced thus breaking the sequential search model of traditional logic programs. While PLP has already contributed a number of formalisms, systems and well understood and established results in: parameter estimation, tabling, marginal probabilities and Bayesian learning, many questions remain open in this exciting, expanding field in the intersection of AI, machine learning and statistics. This workshop provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, presentation of results and preliminary work, in the following areas * probabilistic logic programming formalisms * parameter estimation * statistical inference * implementations * structure learning * reasoning with uncertainty * constraint store approaches * stochastic and randomised algorithms * probabilistic knowledge representation and reasoning * constraints in statistical inference * applications, such as * * bioinformatics * * semantic web * * robotics * probabilistic graphical models * Bayesian learning * tabling for learning and stochastic inference * MCMC * stochastic search * labelled logic programs * integration of statistical software This list is by no means exhaustive. Purpose ******** After seven successful editions of this workshop, the eighth edition of PLP will be held at the ICLP virtual conference organised by the University of Porto. We hope that this encourages further collaboration between researchers in PLP and researchers working in other areas of ICLP. Submissions *********** Submissions will be managed via EasyChair (to be announced). Contributions should be prepared in the LNCS style. A mixture of papers are sought including: new results; work in progress; and technical summaries of recent substantial contributions. Papers presenting new results should be 6-15 pages in length. Work in progress and technical summaries can be shorter (2-5 pages). The workshop proceedings will clearly indicate the type of each paper. At least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop to present the contribution. Publication *********** Informal proceedings will be made available electronically to attendees and submitted to CEUR Workshop Proceedings repository (http://ceur-ws.org/). The proceedings will consist of clearly marked sections corresponding to the different types of submissions accepted. Deadlines ********* Papers due: August 1st, 2021 Notification to authors: September 1st, 2021 Camera ready version due: September 10th, 2021 Workshop date: September 20-27, 2021 (all dates are AoE) Invited Speaker(s) ****************** TBA Programme Committee Chairs ************************** Rafael Penaloza (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy) Felix Weitkämper (LMU München, Germany) Programme Committee ******************* TBA ========================================================================= -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Hence, researchers stress the importance of finding effective ways to assist users make informed and adequate security and privacy decisions and act accordingly. While most transparency-enhancing technologies and user intervention mechanisms are one-size-fits-all approaches, they are often not as effective as desired from the user perspective. Thus, context-aware and user-centred solutions constitute a current trend to increase transparency and intervention effectiveness. Thereby, considering differences in security and privacy behaviour is crucial, both regarding different contexts and different groups of end-users. There are different types of transparency views and intervention mechanisms, ranging from default configurations to providing end-users with risk information. When forcing people’s decisions towards a desired outcome without being neither clear nor convenient, people tend to find workarounds. For example, if users are forced to adopt higher online security, it may reduce their willingness to follow the advice when the benefits are not clear and the desired behaviour appears to be a disproportionately big effort. In that case, users often choose convenience over security. To avoid this, it is necessary to provide both the required and desired information to users in a way that aligns with their internal representations—so-called mental models. Once users understand the mechanisms they are confronted with, they could make better decisions. � *SCOPE: *This special issue welcomes submissions from the research field usable security and privacy. We specifically focus on papers on user-centred transparency and interventions, visualization mechanisms, and approaches to increase information security and privacy literacy. Papers may be conceptual, theoretical and/or empirical in nature with a focus on empirical-based conceptual work with theoretical impact. � *SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:* The highest scientific quality with practical impact is critical for each paper.

Software visualization is inherently interdisciplinary, drawing on theories and techniques from areas such as information visualization, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, and data science, and applying these in the software engineering domain. The VISSOFT conference is principally a venue for publishing and discussing research related to software visualization. Consequently, VISSOFT brings together a community of researchers from software engineering, information visualization, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, and data science to discuss theoretical foundations, algorithms, techniques, tools, and applications related to software visualization. This year’s VISSOFT, co-held with ICSME, encourages a variety of submissions that address outstanding challenges in software systems using visualization. This includes technical papers, evaluations, applications/design studies, systems and formalisms, and papers that present novel ideas and tools. === Topics of interest include: - Innovative visualization and visual analytics techniques for analysis of software engineering data. This includes source code, dependencies, repositories, developer social networks like StackOverflow and GitHub, mobile app reviews, documentation, runtime logs, and DevOps data � - Visualization to support software development activities, including design, requirements engineering, software maintenance, program comprehension, software performance, software testing, and debugging � - Interaction techniques and algorithms for software visualization � - Visualization-based techniques in software engineering education � - Integration of software visualization tools with development environments � - Empirical evaluation of software visualizations, including eye-tracking � - Industrial experience with using software visualization � - Applications of new technologies to enhance software visualization, including virtual reality, augmented reality, gamification, and machine learning � - Analytical approaches to understand software-related aspects based on data science concepts � We solicit papers that present original, unpublished research results. Papers will be rigorously reviewed by an international program committee. In addition to technical papers, VISSOFT features a New Ideas and Emerging Results and Tool Demo (NIER/TD) track. All accepted submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. Submission Types =============== ==== Technical papers: A technical paper contribution must describe an in-depth and mature research result relevant to software visualization. The content of a technical paper can be at a maximum 10 pages long (including all figures, tables, and appendices). However, the 10 page limit does not include the bibliography, which is limited by two additional pages. The submission of a video (up to 5 minutes in length) to accompany the paper is highly encouraged to show interaction possibilities. Authors who wish to submit a video can submit the video together with their paper if the size of the video is smaller than 50 MB, alternatively a URL to the video could be provided. Authors of technical papers that do not receive an acceptance recommendation from reviewers can, eventually, be invited to adapt the paper and make it acceptable for the NIER/TD track. Awards: VISSOFT 2021 will award best technical papers. Special issue: A selection � of best papers will be invited � to submit extended versions for � tentative publication in a Special � Section of the journal of � Information and Software Technology � published by Elsevier� http://www.elsevier.com/locate/infsof Artifact evaluation: Paper authors are encouraged to submit research artifacts (e.g., tools, data repositories, frameworks, videos) to the artifact evaluation track of ICSME.

Studies on the technical systems and collective intelligence are informative, but our understanding of the crowdsourcing phenomenon cannot be complete without a comprehensive understanding of the crowd itself, the work made available on the digital platform, work conditions, and its institutional, regulatory and societal impacts. This minitrack calls for research on the following three critical aspects of crowdsourcing and gig work, including (1) work conditions for crowd workers, (2) the impact of crowdsourcing and gig work, and (3) information technology and gig work. Potential issues and topics on crowdsourcing and digital workforce include, but are not limited to: * Employment relations in the gig economy * Ethical issues in the gig labor market and managing the gig workforce * Gig work and workers in the times of COVID-19 * Gig work risk, worker behavior and performance * Gig workers’ participation, motivation and work-life balance * Gig work conditions * Global workforce in crowdsourcing and gig economy * Information technology and gig work * Labor agency in the gig labor market * Online communities of gig workers * Organizational and regulatory challenges in the gig economy * Psychological aspects of digital platforms on workers (e.g., Technostress, Well-being) * Regulatory oversight of gig work platforms and labor market * Skill development and career pathways of gig workforce * Technology advancement, AI and future of work Important Dates for Paper Submission June 15, 2021 | 11:59 pm HST: Paper Submission Deadline August 17, 2021: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection September 22, 2021: Deadline for Authors to Submit Final Manuscript for Publication October 1, 2021: Deadline for at least one author of each paper to register for HICSS-55 Minitrack Co-Chairs Nancy Deng (Primary Contact) | ndeng(a)csudh.edu<mailto:ndeng@csudh.edu> Sara Moussawi | smoussaw(a)andrew.cmu.edu<mailto:smoussaw@andrew.cmu.edu> Joseph D.

Share your insight in Cutter Business Technology Journal https://www.cutter.com/call-papers#TechFail . Abstract Deadline: June 16, 2021 Technology projects of all shapes and sizes fail at a dizzying rate – up to 75% for ERP projects and 95% for product innovation projects. Why can't we learn from these mistakes? Are the causes that mysterious? Or can we learn from our failures and develop some best practices to at least reduce the probability of failure? Before managers and executives launch new technology projects they should anticipate why their projects might fail and craft solutions before they spend millions or even tens of millions of dollars to improve their technology infra-structures, transform their business processes or implement new enterprise software applications. An upcoming issue of Cutter Business Technology Journal, with Guest Editor and Cutter Fellow Steve Andriole https://www.cutter.com/experts/steve-andriole , will address the recurring problem of project failure and what factors play a major role in an organization's ability to deliver projects, programs, and business strategies successfully. Article ideas may include, but are not limited, to the following: What role do talent assessments, team dynamics, executive support, and corporate culture play in successful project delivery? How does inexperience with major technology projects and weak corporate technology leadership play a role in project failure? What type of leadership is needed? What type of executive support including that from stakeholders and sponsors is necessary? How does an inadequate internal or extended talent pool for technology projects add to project failure? How can it be addressed? How can we attract and retain digital talent? How can a team of both digital and non-digital employees improve problem-solving? How can a weak or non-existent technology culture feed into project failure? How can barriers to cultural change be overcome? How can companies best attract, retain and develop talent - benefits/compensation/advancement/work location? What type of decision-making culture is necessary to succeed? How can we ensure the right teams are recruited? What skills are necessary? How does training play into project success? What investments in learning & development are most crucial for executives to endorse? Please send article ideas (short paragraph outlining discussion points) by June 16 to Steve Andriole and Christine Generali . Access the full Call for Papers here https://www.cutter.com/call-papers#TechFail . Accepted articles due July 20 . Final article length is typically 2,000-3,500 words plus graphics.

Fwd: [WI] CFP - 14th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms (ASPOCP 2021)

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP - 14th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms (ASPOCP 2021) Date: Mon, 31 May 2021 18:38:35 +0100 From: Miguel Areias <miguel-areias(a)dcc.fc.up.pt> Reply-To: Miguel Areias <miguel-areias(a)dcc.fc.up.pt> ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS ASPOCP 2021: 14th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms � https://sites.google.com/site/aspocp2021 ========================================================================= A workshop of 37th International Conference on Logic Programming September 20-27, 2021 (the event will be virtual) ========================================================================= AIMS AND SCOPE ************** Since its introduction in the late 1980s, Answer Set Programming (ASP) has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and combinatorial search problems. ASP was found to be closely related to SAT, which led to a new method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. This has been a much studied relationship, and is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT). The relationship of ASP to other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified Boolean formulas (QBF), Constraint Logic Programming (CLP), first-order logic (FOL), and FO(ID) is also the subject of active research. Consequently, new methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on relationships to these formalisms. Furthermore, the practical applications of ASP also foster work on multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the integration of ASP with description logics (in the realm of the Semantic Web) and constraint satisfaction (which recently led to the Constraint Answer Set Programming (CASP) research direction). A large body of general results regarding ASP is available and several efficient ASP solvers have been implemented. However, there are still significant challenges in applying ASP to real life applications, and more interest in relating ASP to other computing paradigms is emerging. This workshop will provide opportunities for researchers to identify these challenges and to exchange ideas for overcoming them. TOPICS Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): ***************************************************** * ASP and classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL). * ASP and constraint programming. * ASP and other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID). * ASP and other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages. * ASP and external means of computation. * ASP and probabilistic reasoning. * ASP and knowledge compilation. * ASP and machine learning. * New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of other paradigms. * Language extensions to ASP. * ASP and multi-agent systems. * ASP and multi-context systems. * Modularity and ASP. * ASP and argumentation. * Multi-paradigm problem solving involving ASP. * Evaluation and comparison of ASP to other paradigms. * ASP and related paradigms in applications. * Hybridizing ASP with procedural approaches. * Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding. SUBMISSIONS *********** The workshop invites two types of submissions: * papers describing original research, * non-original papers already published on formal proceedings or journals. Original papers must not exceed 13 pages (excluding references) and must be formatted using the Springer LNCS style available here. Authors are requested to clearly specify whether their submission is original or not with a footnote on the first page. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts in PDF via the EasyChair system at the link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aspocp2021 IMPORTANT DATES *************** * All dates are 'Anywhere on Earth', namely 23:59 UTC-12. * Abstract registration: July 1, 2021 * Paper submission: July 8, 2021 * Notification: July 31, 2021 * Camera-ready articles due: August 10, 2021 PROCEEDINGS *********** Authors of all accepted original contributions can opt to publish their work on formal proceedings. Accepted non-original contributions will be given visibility on the conference web site including a link to the original publication, if already published. A selection of extended and revised versions of accepted papers could appear in a special issue. Extended versions of accepted non-original contributions, if not published in a journal yet, might be included in the issue.
