Decomposition-Based Approach for Model-Based Test Generation
Model-based test generation by model checking is a well-known testing
technique that, however, suffers from the state explosion problem of
model checking and it is, therefore, not always applicable. In this
talk, I present an approach that addresses this issue by decomposing a
system model into suitable subsystem models separately analyzable. The
technique consists in decomposing that portion of a system model that
is of interest for a given testing requirement, into a tree of
subsystems by exploiting information on model variable dependency. The
technique generates tests for the whole system model by merging tests
built from those subsystems. Effectiveness and efficiency of the
proposed decomposition-based test generation approach are measured
both in terms of coverage and time.

Title: The concept of proof
Abstract:
The concept of proof is one of the most fundamental building blocks of
mathematics.
The Hilbertian revolution at the beginning of the 20th century is based
on an atomic
notion of proof which is the foundation of the axiomatic method:
"A proof is a finite sequence of formulas A1,..,An such that each Ai is
instance of
an axiom or follows by direct application of a rule from Ai1,..,Aik with
all ij<i."
No scientific revolution is however total, but there is a trend to
disregard all alternatives
to the successful method.
In this lecture we discuss more global notions of proof, where subproofs
are not necessarily
proofs themselves.
Examples are among others
1.protoproofs in the sense of Euler's famous solution to the Basel
problem, which
uses analogical reasoning and where additional external justifications
are necessary.
2.circular notions of proof, where the concept of proof itself
incooperates induction
3.sound proofs based on locally unsound rules
4.proofs based on abstract proof descriptions prominent e.g.
in Bourbaki, where only the choice of a suitable result makes a
verification possible.
We discuss the benefits of these alternative concepts and the
possibility that
innovative concepts of proof adapted to the problems in question might
lead to
strong mathematical results and constitute a novel area of Proof Theory.

Approximating Reachability Probabilities by (Super-)Martingales
Reachability is a fundamental problem in the analysis of probabilistic
systems. It is well-known that reachability probabilities are efficiently
computed for finite-state systems by linear programming. However, this LP
method does not apply to systems that have infinitely many configurations,
such as probabilistic programs and parametric systems. In such a case, we
have to rely on a parametric witness (i.e. a function) for over- or
under-approximating reachability probabilities. A well-studied class of
such witnesses is that of supermartingales. In this talk I will talk about
our recent results that refine existing supermartingale-based methods. The
technical keys to those results are: choice of a suitable martingale
concentration lemma for over-approximation; and a categorical
axiomatization of supermartingales by coalgebras and corecursive algebras.
The talk is based on my joint work with Natsuki Urabe, Masaki Hara, Bart
Jacobs, Toru Takisaka and Yuichiro Oyabu.

http://cl-informatik.uibk.ac.at/events/iwc-2018/
=====================================================================
Confluence provides a general notion of determinism and is widely
viewed as one of the central properties of rewriting. Confluence
relates to many topics of rewriting (completion, modularity,
termination, commutation, etc.) and has been investigated in many
formalisms of rewriting such as first-order rewriting, lambda-calculi,
higher-order rewriting, constrained rewriting, conditional rewriting,
etc. Recently there is a renewed interest in confluence research,
resulting in new techniques, tool support, certification as well as
new applications.
The International Workshop on Confluence (IWC) aims at promoting
further research in confluence and related properties. IWC 2018 is
collocated with FSCD 2018. Previous editions of the workshop were held
in Nagoya (2012), Eindhoven (2013), Vienna (2014), Berlin (2015),

Abstract:
---------
This talk is based on a paper with Leon Horsten in a recent J.of
Phil. and a talk in the Harvard EFI series.
We reflect on the ineffability of the Cantorian Absolute. If this is done
in the style of Levy and Montague in a first order manner, or Bernays using
second or higher order methods this has only resulted in principles that
can justify large cardinals that are `intra-constructible', that is they do
not contradict the assumption that V, the universe of sets of mathematical
discourse, is Gödel's universe of constructible sets, namely L. Peter
Koellner has advanced reasons that this style of reflection will only have
this rather limited strength. However set theorists would dearly like to
have much stronger axioms of infinity. We propose a widened `Global
Reflection Principle' that is based on a view of sets and Cantorian
absolute infinities that delivers a proper class of Woodin cardinals (and
more). A mereological view of classes is used to differentiate between sets
and classes. Once allied to a wider view of structural reflection, stronger
conclusions are thus possible.

Logical Frameworks and Meta-Languages: Theory and Practice
LFMTP 2018
Oxford, UK, 7 July 2018
Affiliated with FSCD 2018 (part of FLoC)
http://lfmtp.org/workshops/2018/
=======================================================================
Abstract submission deadline: 8 April 2018
Paper submission deadline: 15 April 2018
Logical frameworks and meta-languages form a common substrate for
representing, implementing and reasoning about a wide variety of
deductive systems of interest in logic and computer science. Their
design, implementation and their use in reasoning tasks, ranging from
the correctness of software to the properties of formal
systems, have been the focus of considerable research over the last two
decades. This workshop will bring together designers, implementors and
practitioners to discuss various aspects impinging on the structure and
utility of logical frameworks, including the treatment of variable
binding, inductive and co-inductive reasoning techniques and the
expressiveness and lucidity of the reasoning process.
LFMTP 2018 will provide researchers a forum to present state-of-the-art
techniques and discuss progress in areas such as the following:
* Encoding and reasoning about the meta-theory of programming languages,
logical systems and related formally specified systems.
* Theoretical and practical issues concerning the treatment of variable
binding, especially the representation of, and reasoning about,
datatypes defined from binding signatures.
* Logical treatments of inductive and co-inductive definitions and
associated reasoning techniques, including inductive types of higher
dimension in homotopy type theory
* Graphical languages for building proofs, applications in geometry,
equational reasoning and category theory.
* New theory contributions: canonical and substructural frameworks,
contextual frameworks, proof-theoretic foundations supporting
binders, functional programming over logical frameworks,
homotopy and cubical type theory.
* Applications of logical frameworks: proof-carrying architectures, proof
exchange and transformation, program refactoring, etc.
* Techniques for programming with binders in functional programming
languages such as Haskell, OCaml or Agda, and logic programming
languages such as lambda Prolog or Alpha-Prolog.
Invited Speakers

==========================================================================
The Workshop on Termination (WST) traditionally brings together, in an
informal setting, researchers interested in all aspects of termination,
whether this interest be practical or theoretical, primary or derived.
The workshop also provides a ground for cross-fertilization of ideas from
the different communities interested in termination (e.g., working on
computational mechanisms, programming languages, software engineering,
constraint solving, etc.). The friendly atmosphere enables fruitful
exchanges leading to joint research and subsequent publications.
The workshop is held as part of the 2018 Federated Logic Conference
(FLoC 2018)
http://www.floc2018.org/
IMPORTANT DATES:
* submission deadline: April 15, 2018
* notification: May 15, 2018
* final version due: May 31, 2018
* workshop: July 18-19, 2018
TOPICS: The 16th International Workshop on Termination welcomes
contributions on all aspects of termination. In particular, papers
investigating applications of termination (for example in complexity
analysis, program analysis and transformation, theorem proving, program
correctness, modeling computational systems, etc.) are very welcome.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* abstraction methods in termination analysis
* certification of termination and complexity proofs
* challenging termination problems
* comparison and classification of termination methods
* complexity analysis in any domain
* implementation of termination methods
* non-termination analysis and loop detection
* normalization and infinitary normalization
* operational termination of logic-based systems
* ordinal notation and subrecursive hierarchies
* SAT, SMT, and constraint solving for (non-)termination analysis
* scalability and modularity of termination methods
* termination analysis in any domain (lambda calculus, declarative
programming, rewriting, transition systems, etc.)
* well-founded relations and well-quasi-orders
COMPETITION: Since 2003, the catalytic effect of WST to stimulate
new research on termination has been enhanced by the celebration
of the Termination Competition and its continuously developing
problem databases containing thousands of programs as challenges
for termination analysis in different categories, see
http://termination-portal.org/wiki/Termination_Competition
In 2018, the Termination Competition will run in parallel with FLoC 2018.
More details will be provided in a dedicated announcement on the
competition.

The continuity problem in computability theory
Dieter Spreen (University of Siegen)
After the discovery of the paradoxes in Cantor's set theory, mathematics
was in a deep foundational crisis. Various suggestions of how to get out
of this situation have been made. The more radical among them required
that it is no longer sufficient to derive the existence of an object by
indirect reasoning, but to present a concrete construction of the object
under consideration. Here, the problem is what is meant by a
construction. Markov replaced "construction" by "algorithm": only those
objects should be considered that are generated by an algorithm.
This should in particular be true for functions. So, in the Markov
school, also known as Russian Constructivism, a function is given by an
algorithm that takes as input an algorithm generating the object the
function is applied to, and delivers as output an algorithm generating
the function value.
This is a rather restrictive concept. When dealing with functions on the
real numbers, e.g., we are interested in their computability, but we do
not want to restrict the function to only computable real numbers as
arguments. Such functions turn out to be computable, if they are
continuous with a computable modulus of continuity.
In several cases it turned out that Markov computable functions can be
extended to computable functions in the sense just mentioned. However,
it is known that this is not true in general. The problem in which
situations Markov computable functions can be extended to computable
functions is known as the continuity problem. It will be discussed in
this talk.
