School on Univalent Mathematics
Homotopy Type Theory and Univalent Mathematics are emerging fields of
mathematics that study a fruitful relationship between homotopy theory and
(dependent) type theory. This relation plays a crucial role in Voevodsky’s
program of Univalent Foundations, a new approach to foundations of mathematics,
based on ideas from homotopy theory, such as the Univalence Principle.
The UniMath library is a large repository of computer-checked mathematics,
developed from the univalent viewpoint. It is freely available for everyone, as
an open-source project, from the web. The School will give many young
researchers an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the UniMath library
and become contributors.
Participants will receive an introduction to Univalent Foundations and to
Mathematics in those foundations, by leading experts in the field. In the
accompanying problem sessions, participants will formalize pieces of Univalent
Mathematics in the UniMath library.
Scottish Programming Languages and Verification Summer School (SPLV)
The Scottish Programming Languages and Verification Summer School is a collaborative effort between the Universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Heriot-Watt, Strathclyde and St Andrews. This summer school provides core and advanced classes that cover foundational as well as state of the art knowledge on the underlying principles needed to use or design new languages and verifying program correctness.
This school aims to:
- Facilitate rapid knowledge exchange, in addition to providing essential research training and networking for postgraduate students.
- Give postgraduate students the opportunity to network with fellow students in the field as well as many established researchers.
- Provide essential postgraduate training in theoretical underpinnings of computer science and in programming languages
Summer school on Neurosymbolic Programming
Neurosymbolic programming is an exciting new area at the intersection of
Program Synthesis and Machine Learning that aims to learn models that
incorporate program-like structure. For this first summer school in
Neurosymbolic Programming we aim to bring together students and researchers
from different backgrounds who are interested in learning about the state of
the art, applications and open problems in the field.
The summer school will include lectures and hands-on tutorials from leading
researchers in the area.
15th Summer School on Modelling and Verification of Parallel Processes (MOVEP)
MOVEP is a five-day summer school on modelling and verification of infinite
state systems. It aims to bring together researchers and students working in
the fields of control and verification of concurrent and reactive systems.
MOVEP 2022 will consist of ten invited tutorials. In addition, there will be
special sessions that allow PhD students to present their on-going research
(each talk will last around 20 minutes). Extended abstracts (1-2 pages) of
these presentations will be published in informal proceedings.
11th Summer School on Formal Techniques (SSFT)
Techniques based on formal logic, such as model checking, satisfiability, static
analysis, and automated theorem proving, are finding a broad range of
applications in modeling, analysis, verification, and synthesis. This school,
the eleventh in the series, will focus on the principles and practice of formal
techniques, with a strong emphasis on the hands-on use and development of this
technology.
It primarily targets graduate students and young researchers who are interested
in studying and using formal techniques in their research. A prior background in
formal methods is helpful but not required. Participants at the school can
expect to have a seriously fun time experimenting with the tools and techniques
presented in the lectures during laboratory sessions.
27th Bertinoro International Spring School (BISS)
Italian Computer Science PhD granting institutions under the auspices of GRIN,
organizes an annual school offering three graduate-level courses aimed at PhD
students in Computer Science. In addition to introducing students to timely
research topics, the school is meant to promote acquaintance and collaboration
among young European researchers.
1st Greek ACM-W Chapter Winter School - Fairness in AI
We are living the revolution of AI. AI offers enormous opportunities, but it
comes with a cost. AI-driven systems are increasingly being used in all aspects
of society to assist, or even replace human decision making. Can we trust such
systems? Every day, we use search, recommendations, personal assistants to help
in all sorts of decisions from where to dine and what movie to watch, to more
fundamental ones, such as our stance on political issues and worldwide events.
AI is widely being used by public and private bodies to assist decisions in
courts, in college admissions, and job recruitment. Issues of biased treatment,
exclusion, and unfairness are raised, with concerns exaggerated by various
cases catching the public attention.
The school will include tutorials, invited talks, and a panel. Students will be
actively involved through assignments, discussions, and participation in
working groups.
1st International Winter School on Software Engineering
The software industry is a fast-growing area of the global economy today, and
software forms an essential part of the information systems where their
intelligence is concentrated.
Demand for leading technical experts, qualified software developers and
architects, as well as quality assurance managers from the IT and communication
industry increases due to opening IT technology parks, rapid growth in offshore
and outsourced programming, digitalization of public services, and the needs of
private businesses.
This School aims at spreading and sharing knowledge of state-of-the-art
software engineering tools and techniques. Among the speakers of the School are
leading programmers and engineers from academia and industry. Participation is
free, you just need to register. The event is open to everyone: undergraduate
and postgraduate students, young specialists, researchers, etc.
GDR RSD / ASF Winter School on Distributed Systems & Networks
The GDR RSD and ACM SIGOPS France are happy to organise the 6th edition of the
winter school on distributed systems and networks that will take place the
24-28th January 2022 in the resort Sept Laux, Le Pleynet (near Grenoble). This
school, which primarily targets PhD students will feature 7 thematic sessionsi
on the following topics: Performances; Machine Learning/IA; Networks; Cloud
Computing; Security; System; Middleware. PhD students are expected to give
a 15min presentation in the session of their choice.
Linear Logic Winter School
The role of Linear Logic as an underlying structure of logic and computation is
widely acknowledged. As such, it is not only a research subject in itself, but
also a conceptual framework, offering an original and fruitful viewpoint on the
objects of logic and computer science.
This school will offer an introduction to the main concepts and essential
results in Linear Logic, based on an undergoing project to produce a reference
textbook, within the International Research Network on Linear Logic. The
lectures will be given by some of the foremost experts of the subject, involved
in that collaborative effort. The school will moreover include a lab work
session, using recently developed software to construct and manipulate Linear
Logic proofs.
In addition to the lectures, the week will be concluded by a series of tutorial
talks on a selection of advanced subjects, reflecting current research
directions involving Linear Logic.
