4-7 February 2013, Bilinear Pairings in Cryptography, Bar-Ilan University, Tel Aviv, Israel

Date: 4-7 February 2013
Location: Bar-Ilan University, Tel Aviv, Israel
Costs: free

The winter school will provide an in depth coverage of bilinear pairings and their role in cryptographic constructions. Among other things, we will study the basics of elliptic curves and elliptic curve cryptography, the basics of pairings, and the mathematics behind how pairings work and how to efficiently compute them. In addition, we will study the many applications of pairings to cryptography, including identity-based encryption (IBE) and variants, attribute-based encryption, functional encryption, broadcast encryption, anonymous credentials and non-interactive zero-knowledge. The school program includes approximately 20 hours of lectures and a social dinner.

The target audience for the school is graduate students and postdocs in cryptography (we will assume background in cryptography, but not elliptic curves or bilinear maps). However, faculty, undergrads and professionals with the necessary background are all welcome. The winter school is open to participants from all over the world; all talks will be in English.

The school will consist of nine lectures. The lectures are intended to be accessible to a wide audience, but some familiarity with automata theory and logic is recommended. The GAMES winter School 2013 addresses primarily to PhD students and young researchers, but more senior participants are also very welcome.

Registration is accessible through the web-page of the conference (http://isi.unil.ch/champery2013/). Registration deadline: November 15, 2012.

1-5 July 2013, 15th European Agents Systems Summer School (EASSS-2013), London, U.K.

Date: 1-5 July 2013
Location: London, U.K.
Deadline: 10 February 2013

Since 1999, the annual European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS) has provided a forum for knowledge exchange between various research groups in the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, with the aim of benefiting mainly graduate students and researchers at both beginner and advanced level.

The 15th European Agent Systems Summer School will be held at King's College London, UK, from the 1st to 5th of July 2013. EASSS-2013 will be co-located with the 15th Advanced Course on Artificial Intelligence; a bi-annual summer school for graduate students and young researchers in AI, sponsored by ECCAI (European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence).

As was the case with its highly successful earlier editions, EASSS-2013 will offer a rich programme of both introductory and advanced courses on a broad range of topics in the area of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems. The courses are aimed at PhD students, advanced Master's students, and other young researchers and will be taught by leading researchers in the field. EASSS is organised under the auspices of EURAMAS, the European Association for Multiagent Systems (http://www.euramas.org/).

For more information, see http://www.inf.kcl.ac.uk/events/easss13/ or contact .

We are now inviting proposals from members of the research community who are willing to offer tutorials at EASSS-2013. We are interested in tutorial proposals in all areas of current research in Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems. Deadline for tutorial proposals: 10 February 2013.

3-6 September 2013, Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2013), Warsaw, Poland

Date: 3-6 September 2013
Location: Warsaw, Poland
Deadline: 22 February 2013

CALCO aims to bring together researchers and practitioners with interests in foundational aspects, and both traditional and emerging uses of algebra and coalgebra in computer science.

It is a high-level, bi-annual conference formed by joining the forces and reputations of CMCS (the International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science), and WADT (the Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques). Previous CALCO editions took place in Swansea (Wales, 2005), Bergen (Norway, 2007), Udine (Italy, 2009) and Winchester (UK, 2011). The fifth edition will be held in Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

For more information, see http://coalg.org/calco13/ or contact .

We invite submissions of technical papers that report results of theoretical work on the mathematics of algebras and coalgebras, the way these results can support methods and techniques for software development, as well as experience with the transfer of the resulting technologies into industrial practice. Abstract submission deadline: February 22, 2013.

4-6 August 2013, 2013 Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN 2013), Hamburg, Germany

Date: 4-6 August 2013
Location: Hamburg, Germany
Deadline: 24 February 2013

Narratives are ubiquitous in human experience. We use them to communicate, convince, explain, and entertain. As far as we know, every society in the world has narratives, which suggests they are rooted in our psychology and serve an important cognitive function. It is becoming increasingly clear that, to truly understand and explain human intelligence, beliefs, and behaviors, we will have to understand why and to what extent narrative is universal and explain (or explain away) the function it serves. The aim of this workshop series is to address key questions that advance our understanding of narrative and our ability to model it computationally.

This workshop will be an appropriate venue for papers addressing fundamental topics and questions regarding narrative. The workshop will be held as a satellite event of the 2013 Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (to be held in Berlin 31st July - 3rd August), and so will have a special focus on the cognitive science of narrative.

For more information, see http://narrative.csail.mit.edu/ws13. Questions should be directed to .

The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Papers should be relevant to issues fundamental to the computational modeling and scientific understanding of narrative. We accept both finished research and more tentative exploratory work. Paper submission deadline: February 24, 2013

27-29 September 2013, Rules 2013, Krakow, Poland

Date: 27-29 September 2013
Location: Krakow, Poland
Costs: 850/400 PLN
Deadline: 28 February 2013

The idea of the Conference is to bring together philosophers, legal philosophers, psychologists and cognitive scientists, including researchers on artificial intelligence, who are interested in the problem of rules, rule-following and normativity.

Our aim is to create an interdisciplinary forum that will bring together academics representing different disciplines, willing to present their perspective on the issues related to rules and normativity.

Invited speakers: Paul Boghossian, Brian Bix, Philip Zelazo and Stefano Bertea.

For more information, see http://www.rules2013.pl/.

We invite submission of original and unpublished papers. Abstracts (not exceeding 400 words) should be submitted by February 28th, 2013 using EasyChair.

2-4 May 2013, 2nd WFAP Graduate Conference "How Am I Supposed to Know", Vienna, Austria

Date: 2-4 May 2013
Location: Vienna, Austria
Deadline: 28 February 2013

The second Graduate Conference of the Vienna Forum for Analytic Philosophy, a student society for philosophical research in the analytic tradition at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Vienna, will be held from 2 - 4 May 2013 on the topic of knowledge.

Contemporary debates on knowledge tend to revolve around the acquisition of knowledge, the conference will therefore focus on the sources of knowledge. Possible candidates for such sources of knowledge seem to be perception, memory, logical reasoning, testimony, or intuitions. But there is no agreement on which of these are sources of knowledge in their own right, and which can be reduced to others; in which epistemological processes they are involved; or what sort of justification they each require or yield.

For further information, see http://wfap.philo.at/?q=node/103.

In order to tackle these questions we invite high-quality papers from graduate students. Deadline for submission of abstracts: February 28, 2013
