Call for Papers

Scaling up machine-learning (ML), data mining (DM) and reasoning algorithms
from Artificial Intelligence (AI) for massive datasets is a major technical
challenge in the times of "Big Data". The past ten years has seen the rise
of multi-core and GPU based computing. In distributed computing, several
frameworks such as Mahout, GraphLab and Spark continue to appear to
facilitate scaling up ML/DM/AI algorithms using higher levels of
abstraction. We invite novel works that advance the trio-fields of ML/DM/AI
through development of scalable algorithms or computing frameworks. Ideal
submissions would be characterized as scaling up X on Y, where potential
choices for X and Y are provided below.

Scaling up

recommender systems
gradient descent algorithms
deep learning
sampling/sketching techniques
clustering (agglomerative techniques, graph clustering, clustering
heterogeneous data)
classification (SVM and other classifiers)
SVD
probabilistic inference (bayesian networks)
logical reasoning
graph algorithms and graph mining

On

Parallel architectures/frameworks (OpenMP, OpenCL, Intel TBB)
Distributed systems/frameworks (GraphLab, Hadoop, MPI, Spark etc.)

SPIN 2016

23rd International SPIN Symposium on Model Checking of Software
7--8 April 2016, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
http://www.spin2016.info
(colocated with ETAPS 2016)
======================================================================

---- Important Dates ----

Submission of papers: 8 January 2016 (Anywhere on Earth)
Notification of acceptance/rejection: 12 February 2016
Final version due: 24 February 2016
Symposium: 7--8 April 2016

---- Aims and Scope ----

The 23rd edition of the SPIN symposium aims at bringing together
practitioners and researchers interested in symbolic and state
space-based techniques for the validation and analysis of software
systems. Techniques and empirical evaluations based
on explicit representations of state spaces, as implemented in
the SPIN model checker or other tools, or techniques based on the
combination of explicit representations with other representations,
are the focus of this symposium.

We particularly welcome papers describing the development and
application of state space exploration techniques in testing and
verifying embedded software, safety-critical software, enterprise
and web applications, and other interesting software platforms. The
symposium aims to encourage interactions and exchanges of ideas with
all related areas in software engineering.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Formal verification techniques for automated analysis of software
- Algorithms and storage methods for explicit-state model checking
- Theoretical and algorithmic foundations of model checking
- Model checking for programming languages and code analysis
- Directed model checking using heuristics
- Parallel or distributed model checking
- Verification of timed and probabilistic systems
- Model checking techniques for biological systems
- Formal verification techniques for concurrent software
- Formal verification techniques for embedded software
- Abstraction and symbolic execution techniques in relation to
software verification
- Static analysis for state space reduction
- Combinations of enumerative and symbolic techniques
- Analysis for modelling languages, such as UML/state charts
- Property specification languages, including temporal logics
- Automated testing using state space and/or path exploration
- Derivation of specifications, test cases, or other useful material
from state spaces
- Combination of model checking techniques with other analyses
- Modular and compositional verification techniques
- Case studies of interesting systems or with interesting results
- Engineering and implementation of software verification tools
- Benchmark and comparative studies for formal verification tools
- Insightful surveys or historical accounts on topics of relevance to
the symposium

SPIN 2016 will be colocated with the 19th European Joint Conferences on
Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2016). An overview of the previous
SPIN symposia can be found at http://spinroot.com/spin/Workshops.

---- Paper Submission and Publication ----

The proceedings of SPIN will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series. A selection of papers will be invited to a special
issue of the International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer
(STTT).

With the exception of survey and history papers, the papers should contain
original work which has not been submitted or accepted for publication
elsewhere. Submissions should adhere to the LNCS format:

http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

We solicit three kinds of papers:

- Technical Research Papers:
At most 18 pages in LNCS format. All accepted technical papers will be
included in the proceedings.

- Idea Papers:
At most 6 pages in LNCS format that describe novel
research directions in software model checking. New idea
submissions are intended to describe well-defined research ideas
that are at an early stage of investigation and may not be fully
validated.

- Tool Presentations:
This kind of submission should consist of two parts: the first part
is at most a 6-page description of the tool. If accepted, this part
will be published in the symposium proceedings. The second part
should describe an informal plan for an oral presentation of the
tool. This part will not be included in the proceedings and may
also be in the form of a five minute video. Tools must be
available online for reviewers to inspect.


All papers that conform to submission guidelines will be
peer-reviewed by members of the program committee. Submissions will
be evaluated on the basis of originality, importance of contribution,
soundness, evaluation, quality of presentation, and appropriate
comparison to related work.

At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the symposium
and present the paper.

Submission Deadline: Feb 27, 2016
http://www.ie.boun.edu.tr/~wg2016/

LOCATION
The WG 2016 conference is the 42nd edition of the WG series. It will
take place on the campus of Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey. The
conference will be from Wednesday June 22 to Friday June 24, 2016.
Participants expected to arrive in Istanbul on Tuesday June 21, where we
will have a welcome reception in the evening. Cheap student
accommodation will be available close to campus, and we will otherwise
suggest hotels in the popular Taksim area, with a metro connection to
the campus.

AIMS AND SCOPE
WG conferences aim to connect theory and applications by demonstrating
how graph-theoretic concepts can be applied in various areas of computer
science. The goal is to present recent results and to identify and
explore directions for future research. Submitted papers should describe
original results in any aspects of graph theory related to computer
science, including but not restricted to:

- design and analysis of sequential, parallel, randomized,
parameterized, and distributed graph and network algorithms,
- structural graph theory with algorithmic or complexity applications,
- computational complexity of graph and network problems,
- graph grammars, graph rewriting systems and graph modeling,
- graph drawing and layouts,
- computational geometry,
- random graphs and models of the web and scale-free networks, and
- support of these concepts by suitable implementations and applications.

SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS
Contributors are invited to submit an extended abstract of at most 12
pages Springer LNCS format(www.springer.com/lncs) including title,
abstract and references. Proofs omitted due to space restrictions must
be placed in an appendix, to be read by program committee members at
their discretion. Simultaneous submission of papers to any other
conference with proceedings published or made publicly available, or
submitting papers previously accepted for journal publication is not
allowed. Invited papers and accepted contributions will be published in
the conference post-proceedings in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(ARCoSS/LNCS) series of Springer-Verlag.

BEST PAPER AWARD
Thanks to a generous donation by Springer Verlag, WG 2016 is able to
offer an EUR 1000 best paper award, to be decided by the program committee.

BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD
WG 2016 offers also an award for the best student paper. The main work
in a paper that is a candidate for this award must be done by co-authors
that were students at the time of submission, and the award can be
