30 March - 1 April 2020, Workshop "The wisdom and madness of crowds: argumentation, information exchange and social interaction"
Argumentation and exchange of information help groups to coordinate, deliberate and decide. On the other hand, debates often generate detrimental large-scale phenomena such as polarization, informational cascades and echo-chambers, where the behavior of entire groups shifts in seemingly irrational ways.
Understanding the deep mechanisms of informational and social influence that underlie these phenomena in the age of social media is a challenge that engages methods from different disciplines, including philosophy, artificial intelligence, computer and social sciences and psychology.
This workshop brings together scholars with different theoretical approaches. Its broader aim is to foster an interdisciplinary understanding of the mechanisms that determine the behavior of individuals in a social context from multiple perspectives. The workshop will last two and a half days. The first half-day of it will be dedicated to an introductory seminar on abstract argumentation, held by Professor Pietro Baroni (Brescia).
Due to the spreading of COVID-19, this workshop will be held online as a video-conference-only.
30 March - 2 April 2020, 23rd International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2020), Online
ICDT is an international conferences series that addresses the principles and theory of data management. Since 2009, it is annually and jointly held with EDBT, the international conference on extending database technology.
As ICDT strives to broaden its scope, ICDT 2020 will have a Reach Out Track that calls for novel formal frameworks or directions for database theory and/or connections between principles of data management and other communities.
Due to the current situation regarding the Coronavirus, the physical meeting for EDBT/ICDT 2020 in Copenhagen has to be canceled. However, EDBT/ICDT 2020 as a conference is NOT canceled, but will be held as an online event.

Unification is concerned with the problem of making two terms equal, finding solutions for equations or making formulas equivalent. It is a fundamental process used in a number of fields of computer science, including automated reasoning, term rewriting, logic programming, natural language processing, program analysis, types, etc. The International Workshop on Unification (UNIF) is a yearly forum for researchers in unification theory and related fields to meet old and new colleagues, to present recent (even unfinished) work, and to discuss new ideas and trends. It is also a good opportunity for young researchers and scientists working in related areas to get an overview of the state of the art in unification theory.
The 34th International Workshop on Unification is part of "Paris Nord Summer of LoVe 2020", a joint event on LOgic and VErification at Universit́e Paris 13. UNIF 2020 will be a satellite workshop of The International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning (IJCAR 2020).
Following the tradition of UNIF, we call for submissions of abstracts (5 pages) in EasyChair style, to be submitted electronically as PDF through the EasyChair submission site. Abstracts will be evaluated by the Programme Committee (if necessary with support from external reviewers) regarding their significance for the workshop. We will allow work presented/submitted in/to another conference.

A special session on wordnets and ontologies is also envisaged.
The CLIB 2020 Organising Committee is glad to announce that the 4th International Conference on Computational Linguistics in Bulgaria will take place on 25 and 26 June 2020. There will be two modes of attendance: in person or online. The dates were selected in accordance with the latest regulations issued by the Minister of Health of the Republic of Bulgaria, allowing conferences to be held in compliance with the imposed anti-epidemic measures.
CLIB invites contributions on original research, including, but not limited to the following topics: semantics, syntax, grammar and the lexicon; cognitive, mathematical and computational models of language processing; lexical semantics and ontologies; linguistic annotation; word sense disambiguation; MWE recognition; information extraction; text analysis and summarisation; NLP methods and applications; corpus linguistics; multilingual processing and applications, machine translation and translation aids.
There will be two categories of research papers: oral and poster presentations. All accepted papers will be included in the Conference proceedings.
10 - 12 August 2020, 26th International Workshop on Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems (AUTOMATA 2020), Online
As it is its tradition, *AUTOMATA 2020* will focus on the theory and application of cellular automata and discrete dynamical systems in connection to complexity theory and algorithmic information. There will be special sessions on *Automata in Deep Learning* and *Algorithmic Information Dynamics* with a particular interest in aspects of computability in causation and reprogrammability.
AUTOMATA 2020 is innovating on various fronts given the challenge of climate change we want to reduce the conference Carbon footprint through a virtual attendance option, and also by addressing the underrepresentation of young and minority groups in the field.
Submissions presenting original and unpublished research on all fundamental aspects of cellular automata and related discrete complex systems are being sought.
There are two categories of submission: full papers and exploratory papers. Full papers are meant to report more complete and denser research, while the later submission deadline for exploratory papers allows short reports of recent discoveries, work-in-progress and/or partial results. Submissions in the full paper category are refereed and selected by the program committee. Papers in the exploratory category go through a less rigorous evaluation process. All accepted papers must be presented (in person or virtually) at the conference. Submissions should contain original research that has not previously been published.
11 - 17 July 2020, NASSLLI Workshop "Natural Logic Meets Machine Learning" (NALOMA)
NAtural LOgic Meets MAchine Learning (NALOMA) is the first workshop of its kind, aiming to bridge the gap between Machine Learning and Natural Logic. It will take place from July 11-July 17, 2020, during the 9th North American Summer School for Logic, Language, and Information (NASSLLI) at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working in both Natural Logic and Machine Learning approaches to NLI, initiating a discussion with the two sets of researchers that have been largely unconnected up to now.
We invite submissions on the workshop topics. Archival (long or short) papers should report on complete, original and unpublished research. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and will appear in the ACL anthology. See workshop web site for more on this.

EvoStar comprises of four co-located conferences run each spring at different locations throughout Europe. These events arose out of workshops originally developed by EvoNet, the Network of Excellence in Evolutionary Computing, established by the Information Societies Technology Programme of the European Commission, and they represent a continuity of research collaboration stretching back over 20 years. EvoStar is organised by SPECIES, the Society for the Promotion of Evolutionary Computation in Europe and its Surroundings. This non-profit academic society is committed to promoting evolutionary algorithmic thinking, with the inspiration of parallel algorithms derived from natural processes. It provides a forum for information and exchange.
The four conferences include:
- EuroGP 23rd European Conference on Genetic Programming
- EvoApplications 23rd European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary and bio-inspired Computation
- EvoCOP 20th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation
- EvoMUSART 9th International Conference (and 14th European event) on Computational Intelligence in Music, Sound, Art and Design
16 - 17 April 2020, Workshop "Alternative Approaches to Scientific Realism", cancelled
This conference has been cancelled due to the Corona crisis.
There has been a recent move in philosophy of science towards views that in some sense reject the strict dichotomy between realism and anti-realism, or otherwise situate themselves between these two extremes. These include varieties of structuralism, perspectivalism, and pluralism/relativism, and have been applied across various scientific domains, including physics, mathematics, biology, cognitive science, and computer science. This conference will bring together representatives of each of these viewpoints, in order to compare the respective progress made by each approach, and to develop a shared foundation for the future development of alternatives to traditional scientific realism and anti-realism.
Confirmed Keynote Speakers: James Ladyman (Bristol), Michela Massimi, (Edinburgh) and Martin Kusch (Vienna).

29 - 30 June 2020, Sixth International Workshop on Linearity and Fourth International Workshop on Trends in Linear Logic and Applications (Joint Linearity & TLLA Workshop), Online
The aim of this Joint Linearity and TLLA workshop is to bring together researchers who are currently working on linear logic and related fields, to foster their interaction and provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work in progress. We also hope to enable newcomers to learn about current activities in this area. New results that make central use of linearity, ranging from foundational work to applications in any field, are welcome. Also welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories and practices.
Authors are invited to submit:
* an extended abstract (8 pages max) describing original ideas and results not published nor submitted elsewhere,
* or a 5-page abstract presenting relevant work that has been or will be published elsewhere,
* or a 2-page description of work in progress. Preliminary proceedings will be available at the workshop.
Papers should be written in English, and submitted in PDF format using the EPTCS style files.
25 April 2020, 5th Workshop on Formal Reasoning about Causation, Responsibility, and Explanations in Science and Technology (CREST 2020), Dublin, Ireland
Today's IT systems, and the interactions between them, become increasingly complex. Power grid blackouts, airplane crashes, failures of medical devices and malfunctioning automotive systems are just a few examples of incidents that affect system safety. They are often due to component failures and unexpected interactions of subsystems under conditions that have not been anticipated during system design and testing. Determining the root cause(s) of a system-level failure and elucidating the exact scenario that led to the failure is today a complex and tedious task that requires significant expertise. Formal approaches for automated causality analysis, fault localization, explanation of events, accountability and blaming have been proposed independently by several communities - in particular, AI, concurrency, model-based diagnosis, software engineering, security engineering and formal methods. Work on these topics has significantly gained speed during the last years.
The goals of this workshop are to bring together and foster exchange between researchers from the different communities, and to present and discuss recent advances and new ideas in the field.
25 April 2020, Workshop on Trends, Extensions, Applications and Semantics of Logic Programming (TEASE-LP 2020), Dublin, Ireland
Logic programming is a framework for expressing programs, propositions and relations as Horn clause theories, with the purpose of performing automatic inference in these theories. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers that work on extensions of logic programming and inference methods, and to foster an exchange of methods and applications that have emerged in different communities.
19 - 23 October 2020, ATVA 2020: Automated Technology for Verification & Analysis, Hanoi, Vietnam / Online
ATVA 2020 is the 18th in the ATVA series of symposia intended to promote research in theoretical and practical aspects of automated analysis, verification and synthesis in Asia by providing a forum for interaction between the regional and international research communities and industry in the field.
Invited speakers: Tobias Nipkow (Munich, Germany), Klaus Havelund (CalTech / NASA JPL) and David Dill (Standford, USA).
The conference will take place online in Hanoi in a conference room as scheduled, since Hanoi City is not locked-down. We are encouraging local participants to take part in the conference. We also warmly welcome all the international participants in the case that they are able to travel to the conference site. For those participants and speakers who are not able to come to the conference site, they can attend and deliver their lectures/talks online.
ATVA 2020 solicits high-quality submissions on any of the conference topics. ATVA welcomes submissions in the following two categories: Regular research papers (16 pages, including references) and Tool papers (6 pages, including references). Tool papers must include information about a URL from where the tool can be downloaded or accessed on-line for evaluation.
5 - 9 July 2020, 2020 Competitive Evaluation of QBF Solvers (QBFEVAL'20), Alghero, Italy
QBFEVAL'20 is the 2020 competitive evaluation of QBF solvers, and the fifteenth event aimed to assess the performance of QBF solvers. QBFEVAL'20 awards solvers that stand out as being particularly effective on specific categories of QBF instances. QBEVAL'20 is a joint event with the 23rd Int. Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT).
We warmly encourage developers of QBF solvers to submit their work, even at early stages of development, as long as it fulfills some very simple requirements. We also welcome the submission of QBF formulas to be used for the evaluation. Researchers thinking about using QBF-based techniques in their area (e.g., formal verification, planning, knowledge representation & reasoning) are invited to contribute to the evaluation by submitting QBF instances of their research problems (see the requirements for instances). The results of the evaluation will be a good indicator of the current feasibility of QBF-based approaches and a stimulus for people working on QBF solvers to further enhance their tools.
26 April 2020, 7th Workshop on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis (HCVS 2020), Dublin, Ireland
This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP), Program Verification (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI), and Automated Deduction (e.g., CADE), on the topic of Horn clause based analysis, verification and synthesis. Horn clauses have been advocated by these communities at different times and from different perspectives, and this workshop is organized to stimulate interaction and a fruitful exchange and integration of experiences.
