First Call for Papers

----------------------------------------
Special issue of the

JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC COMPUTATION

on

SYMBOLIC COMPUTATION IN SOFTWARE SCIENCE
----------------------------------------
http://www.risc.jku.at/people/tkutsia/jsc-scss-2013.html


IMPORTANT DATES
---------
Paper submission: January 10, 2014
Notification of acceptance: April 4, 2014
Publication: Second half of 2014


SCOPE
--------
Symbolic Computation is the science of computing with symbolic objects
(terms, formulae, programs, representations of algebraic objects etc.).
Powerful symbolic algorithms and methods have been developed during the
past decades like computer algebra, theorem proving, automated
reasoning, software verification, model checking, rewriting,
formalization of mathematics, Groebner bases, characteristic sets,
telescoping for recurrence relations, cylindric algebraic decomposition
and other quantifier elimination techniques, etc.

The purpose of this special issue is to promote research on theoretical
and practical aspects of symbolic computation in software science. The
special issue is related to the topics of the International Symposiums
on Symbolic Computation in Software Science - SCSS 2013 and SCSS 2012.
It will be published by Elsevier within the Journal of Symbolic Computation.

Participants of the SCSS 2013 and SCSS 2012 symposiums, as well as other
authors are invited to submit contributions.


EXAMPLES of TOPICS
-------------------
This special issue focuses on advanced symbolic computation techniques
for algorithm and software testing, property analysis, termination,
verification, induction assertion generation, synthesis, systematic
generation from components, equivalent transformation, library build-up.
Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

- automated synthesis of algorithms by symbolic computation
- automated generation of verification conditions of programs by
algebraic methods
- automated generation of inductive program properties
- analysis of algorithm complexity and program termination by algebraic
methods
- algebraic reasoning for computational origami
- efficient decision procedures for hybrid systems
- synthesis of numerical algorithms by algebraic methods
- symbolic model checking
- business process representations and analysis by symbolic methods
- symbolic preprocessing of numerical algorithms
- symbolic techniques for debugging and testing
- formalization and computerization of knowledge (maths, medicine,
economy, etc.)
- rewriting algorithms
- component-based programming by algebraic methods
- query languages (in particular for XML documents)
- symbolic methods for the semantic web, cloud computing and big data



SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
-------------------

This special issue welcomes original high-quality contributions that
have been neither published in nor simultaneously submitted to any
journals or refereed conferences. Submissions will be peer-reviewed
using the standard refereeing procedure of the Journal of Symbolic
Computation.

Authors of papers presented at the SCSS 2013 and SCSS 2012 symposiums
are welcome and encouraged to submit extended and revised versions of
their papers. Furthermore, submissions of papers that are in the scope
of SCSS, but did not appear in SCSS 2013 and SCSS 2012 are welcome as well.

Submitted papers must be in English and include a well written
introduction addressing the following questions in succinct and informal
manner:

- What is the problem?
- Why is the problem important?
- What has been done so far on the problem?
- What is the main contribution of the paper on the problem?
- What aspect of symbolic computation helps solving the problem?
- Is the contribution original? Explain why.
- Is the contribution non-trivial? Explain why.

All the main definitions, theorems and algorithms should be illustrated
by simple but meaningful examples.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED

Thirteenth International Symposium on
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and MATHEMATICS
ISAIM 2014
http://www.cs.uic.edu/Isaim2014/
January 6-8, 2014
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

NEW PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 22, 2013

The International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics (ISAIM) is a biennial meeting that fosters interactions between mathematics, theoretical computer science, and artificial intelligence. This is the thirteenth Symposium in the series, which is sponsored by the journal Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence and by Florida Atlantic University. We seek submissions of recent results, with a particular emphasis on the foundations of AI and mathematical methods used in AI. Papers describing applications are also encouraged, but the focus should be on principled lessons learned from the development of the application. Traditionally, the Symposium attracts participants from a variety of disciplines, thereby providing a unique forum for scientific exchange. The three-day Symposium includes invited speakers, presentations of technical papers, and special topic sessions. The Symposium takes place at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Fort Lauderdale. Plea!
se visit http://www.cs.uic.edu/Isaim2014/Venue for more information about the venue.


SPECIAL TOPIC INVITED SESSIONS:

o Boolean and pseudo-Boolean Functions
-Organized by Endre Boros, Rutgers University, and Yves Crama, University of Liege

o Computational Social Choice
-Organized by Francesca Rossi, University of Padova, and Kristen Brent Venable, University of Padova

o Mathematical Theories of Natural Language Processing
-Organized by Andras Kornai, Hungarian Academy of Sciences

o Theory of Machine Learning
-Organized by Lev Reyzin, University of Illinois at Chicago


INVITED SPEAKERS:

o Peter Stone, University of Texas at Austin

o Csaba Szepesvari, University of Alberta


PAPER SUBMISSION:

Paper submission will be electronic via the submission link on the Paper Submission page of the Symposium website (http://www.cs.uic.edu/Isaim2014/). Papers must be formatted in accordance with the guidelines given there.

The submission deadline is October 22, 2013 (11:59 PM PDT). Papers will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by November 22, 2013. Final versions of accepted papers, for inclusion in the conference electronic proceedings, are due by December 15, 2013.

Work that has already been published as of the ISAIM submission deadline should not be submitted to ISAIM unless it introduces a significant addition to the previously published work. However, the ISAIM web site proceedings are not archival, so papers submitted to ISAIM can be under review at the time of submission and can be submitted elsewhere after ISAIM.

Authors of a selected set of papers from the Symposium will be invited to submit full versions of their papers for inclusion in a special volume of the Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, published by Springer. Those invited submissions will be subject to refereeing at the usual standards of the journal, and authors will receive more details with the acceptance notice. Papers must of course be new and unpublished to be considered for the special volume.

Any questions regarding paper submission should be sent to the program committee chairs at the email address <isaim2014 at cs DOT uic DOT edu>.


IMPORTANT DATES:

Paper submission: October 22, 2013
Notification: November 22, 2013
