タイトル:View-Query Determinacy for Tree Transducers
概要:
This talk consists of two parts each with a duration of approximately 40 minutes.
The first part focuses on the view-query determinacy problem.
Given transformations v and q, the problem asks whether there
exists a function f such that f(v(s))=q(s) for all possible inputs s.
View-query determinacy is a strong static analysis with many
important applications; for instance, it was used by Buneman,
Davidson and Frey for data citation [CACM 59 (2016)].
For tree transducers, Hashimoto, Sawada, Ishihara, Seki, and
Fujiwara showed in 2013 that determinacy is decidable for views realized by
extended linear bottom-up tree transducers, and queries realized by
single-valued bottom-up tree transducers. Their solution tests
functionality of the inverse of the view composed with the query.
We extend this result using known results about transducers and properties
of uniformizers. A uniformizer of a relation R is a function
that has the same domain as R. A query q is determined by a view v
if and only if the composition v ; u ; q is equivalent to q, where u is
a uniformizer of the inverse of v. Thus, our technique reduces the determinacy
problem to the existence of uniformizers and to the decidability of equivalence.
Henceforth, recent new results on decidability of equivalence immediately give
rise to new results about determinacy.
These results about transducer determinacy only work for views given by
linear (extended) transducers. It is easy to see that even if a view transducer copies
once, at the input root node, then determinacy becomes undecidable.
This is unfortunate, because some very basic translations cannot be realized by linear
transducers but require copying. Consider for instance a view that regroups
a list of publications into sublists of books, articles, etc. A tree transducer realizing
this view needs copying (i.e., it needs to process the original list multiple times).
The issue that we cannot deal with non-linear views lead us to study transducers
with origin (Part 2 of the talk). Under origin semantics, transducers that produce their
output in "different ways" are considered different, even if they realize the same tree
translation. Under this more rigid semantics, determinacy can be decided even for
non-linear views. In particular, origin determinacy is decidable if the view and query are
either both given by deterministic top-down tree transducers with look-ahead, or, if
they are both given by deterministic MSO definable transducers. Intuitively, the world
becomes safer with origin, but more restrictive (e.g., the query “is book X before
article Y in the original list?” becomes determined under origin semantics).

Title: The Graph Minor Theorem: a walk on the wild side of graphs
Abstract: The Graph Minor Theorem says that the collection of finite graphs
ordered by the minor relation is a well quasi order. This apparently
innocent statement hides a monstrous proof: the original result by
Robertson and Seymour is about 500 pages and twenty articles, in which a
new and deep branch of Graph Theory has been developed.
The theorem is famous and full of consequences both on the theoretical side
of Mathematics and in applications, e.g., to Computer Science. But there
is no concise proof available, although many attempts have been made.
In this talk, arising from one such failed attempts, an analysis of the
Graph Minor Theorem is presented. Why is it so hard?
Assuming to use the by-now standard Nash-Williams's approach to prove
it, we will
illustrate a number of methods which allow to solve or circumvent some
of the difficulties. Finally, we will show that the core of this line of
thought lies in a coherence question which is common to many parts of
Mathematics: elsewhere it has been solved, although we were unable to
adapt those solutions to the present framework. So, there is hope for a
short proof of the Graph Minor Theorem but it will not be elementary.

Title: Logic and Game Theory
Abstract:
In this presentation, I make conceptual connections between logic and game theory. First, I give a small introduction to each filed. Then, a Japanese comic story called “Konnyaku Mondo” is introduced to describe a basic problem on one’s understanding about the other person’s thought. The Konnyaku Mondo phenomena are often observed in our real lives. It is indicative of the distinction between a symbolic expression and its intended meaning; this is a very basic distinction in the modern logic. The story leads also to a new field in game theory called “Inductive Game Theory” that I and several collaborators have developed. Indeed, we construct a game theory example having the feature of the Konnyaku Mondo that two players are playing a game with mutual misunderstanding of the situation, but they cannot correct their mutual misunderstanding even after they have played the game several times.

Sean Sedwards (ERATO MMSD), Rare Event Simulation for Statistical Model Checking
Statistical model checking (SMC) avoids the intractable number of states associated with numerical model checking by estimating the probability of a property from a number of execution traces (simulations). Rare events nevertheless pose an important challenge to SMC because interesting properties, such as bugs and optima, are often very rare and occur infrequently in simulations. A key objective for SMC is thus to reduce the number and length of simulations necessary to produce an estimate with a given level of statistical confidence. In this talk I will describe two variance reduction approaches that address this problem: importance sampling and importance splitting. Importance sampling weights the probabilities of a system to make a rare property occur more frequently in simulations, then compensates the results by the weights. Importance splitting decomposes a rare property into the product of sub-properties that are less rare and easier to simulate. I will outline the challenges of using these techniques in SMC and highlight some practical solutions, including the recent successful application of importance sampling to stochastic timed automata.

Title: Explaining the Kruskal's Tree Theorem
Abstract: The famous Kruskal's tree theorem states that the collection
of finite trees labelled over a well quasi order and ordered by
homeomorphic embedding, forms a well quasi order. Its intended
mathematical meaning is that the collection of finite, connected and
acyclic graphs labelled over a well quasi order is a well quasi order
when it is ordered by the graph minor relation.
Oppositely, the standard proof(s) shows the property to hold for trees
in the Computer Science's sense together with an ad-hoc, inductive
notion of embedding. The mathematical result follows as a consequence
in a somewhat unsatisfactory way.
In this talk, a variant of the standard proof will be illustrated
explaining how the Computer Science and the graph-theoretical
statements are strictly coupled, thus explaining why the double
statement is justified and necessary.

6th International Workshop on Confluence
September 8th, 2017, Oxford, United Kingdom
Collocated with FSCD 2017
http://cl-informatik.uibk.ac.at/events/iwc-2017/
=====================================================================
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 2017 is
collocated with FSCD 2017. Previous editions of the workshop were held
in Nagoya (2012), Eindhoven (2013), Vienna (2014), Berlin (2015), and
Obergurgl (2016).
During the workshop, the 6th Confluence Competition (CoCo 2017) takes
place.
IMPORTANT DATES:
* submission Saturday, July 1st, 2017
* notification Saturday, July 22nd, 2017
* final version Saturday, August 5th, 2017
* workshop Friday, September 8th, 2017
(deadlines are AoE)
TOPICS:
Specific topics of interest include:
* confluence and related properties (unique normal forms, commutation,
ground confluence)
* completion

Title: Arithmetic universes as generalized point-free spaces
Abstract:
Point-free topology in all its guises (e.g. locales, formal topology)
can be understood as presenting a space as a _logical theory_, for which
the points are the models and the opens are the formulae. The logic in
question is geometric logic, its connectives being finite conjunctions
and arbitrary disjunctions, and then the Lindenbaum algebra (formulae
modulo equivalence) for a theory T is a frame O[T], a complete lattice
with binary meet distributing over all joins. Locales are frames but
with the morphisms reversed.
Grothendieck proposed Grothendieck toposes as the generalized point-free
spaces got when one moves to the first-order form of geometric logic.
Then the opens (giving truth values for each point) are not enough, and
one must move to sheaves (giving sets for each point). The Lindenbaum
algebra now becomes a Grothendieck topos Set[T], the classifying topos
for T, constructed using presheaves with a pasting condition, and closed
under finite limits and arbitrary colimits in accordance with Giraud's
theorem. The topos Set[T] canonically represents the generalized space
of models of T.
Grothendieck used the category Set of classical sets, but we now know
that it can be replaced by any elementary topos S. This base will
determine the infinities available for "arbitrary" disjunctions, as well
as governing the construction of the classifier S[T]. However, for
theories in which all the disjunctions are countable (such as the formal
space of reals) it doesn't matter which S is used, as long as it has a
natural numbers object (nno). Thus the generalized space of models of T
is not absolutely fixed as a mathematical object.
In my talk I shall present the idea of using Joyal's _arithmetic
universes_ (AUs), pretoposes with parameterized list objects, as a
base-independent substitute for Grothendieck toposes in which countable
disjunctions are intrinsic to the logic rather than being supplied
extrinsically by a base S. In [1] I have defined a 2-category Con whose
objects ("contexts") serve as geometric theories that are sufficiently
countable in nature, and whose morphisms are the maps of models. In [2]
I showed how to use Con to prove results for Grothendieck toposes,
fibred over choice of base topos. Thus we start to see AUs providing a
free-standing foundations for a significant fragment of geometric logic
and Grothendieck toposes, independent of base S.
