     separate from the SAT 2013 conference organization.
    
     The organizers of the accepted competitions are expected to be present
     at SAT 2013.  Results of the accepted competitions are expected to
     be presented during the main conference, and time for these reports will
     be allocated within the main conference schedule.
    
     Please provide the following information in your proposal:
    
     + Competition title.
     + Names and affiliations of organizers.
     + Duration and schedule of the competition.
     + Description of the competition task and the evaluation procedure.
     + Is the competition new or has it been organized before?
       In the latter case information on previous competitions should be given.
     + What computing resources are required and how will they be provided?
    
     Should multiple proposals be submitted for similar competitions, possibilities
     of combining the competition organizations into one may be considered.

    ........................................................................
    
    
    The 4th Open Answer Set Programming Competition is open to ASP systems 
    and *any other system* based on a declarative specification paradigm. 
    
    The event is currently finalizing its Call for Benchmarks stage.
    
    
    == Call for Benchmark Problems ==
    
    Participants will compete on a selected collection of declarative 
    specifications of benchmark problems, taken from a variety of domains as 
    well as real world applications, and instances thereof.
    
    These include, but are not limited to:
    
    - Deductive database tasks on large data-sets
    - Sequential and Temporal Planning
    - Classic and Applicative graph problems
    - Puzzles and Combinatorics
    - Scheduling, Timetabling, and other resource allocation problems
    - Combinatorial Optimization Problems
    - Ontology reasoning
    - Automated Theorem Proving and Model Checking
    - Reasoning tasks over large propositional instances
    - Constraint Programming problems
    - Other AI problems
    
    We encourage to provide help by proposing and/or devising new challenging 
    benchmark problems. 
    
    The submission of problems arising from applications of practical impact 
    are strongly encouraged; problems used in the former ASP Competitions, 
    or variants thereof, can be re-submitted.
    
    Benchmark authors are expected to produce a problem specification and an 
    instance set (or a generator thereof). The detailed benchmark problems 
    submission procedure is available at: 
    
    	http://www.mat.unical.it/aspcomp2013/BenchmarkSubmission.
    
    
    === About the ASP Competition Series ===
    
    Answer Set Programming is a well-established paradigm of declarative 
    programming with close relationship to other declarative modeling 
    paradigms and languages, such as SAT Modulo Theories, Constraint 
    Handling Rules, FO(.), PDDL, CASC, and many others.
    
    Since the first informal editions (Dagstuhl 2002 and 2005), ASP systems 
    compare themselves in the nowadays customary ASP Competition: the 4th 
    ASP Competition will be run jointly at the University of Calabria 
    (Italy) and the Vienna University of Technology (Austria), in the first 
    half of 2013. The event is the sequel to the ASP Competition series, 
    held at the University of Potsdam (Germany) in 2006-2007, at the 
    University of Leuven (Belgium) in 2009, and at University of Calabria 
    (Italy) in 2011. The current competition takes place in cooperation with 
    the 13th International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic 
    Reasoning (LPNMR 2013), where the results will be announced.
    
    The ASP competition is held as an open tournament. The "Model & Solve" 
    competition track fosters the spirit of integration among communities, 
    and is thus open to all types of solvers: ASP systems, SAT solvers, SMT 
    solvers, CP systems, FOL theorem provers, Description Logics reasoners, 
    planning reasoners, or any other. The "System" competition track is 
    instead set up on a fixed language based on the answer set semantics.

    The Institute of Cryptography and Security and the Institute of Theoretical Informatics of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology announce COMPUTING 2011, a symposium devoted to the 75th anniversary of two pioneering works on the theory of computation: ‘On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem’ by Alan Turing and ‘An Unsolvable Problem of Elementary Number Theory’ by Alonzo Church.

    The symposium will review the work of Church and Turing and its influence on contemporary Theoretical Computer Science. Talks at the symposium are intended to cover—among others—topics like

    • Different Models of Computing (including, e.g., Parallel, Quantum, and Molecular/DNA Computing),
    • Complexity (including Computational and Parameterized Complexity),
    • Decidability of various Logical and Computational Systems,
    • Termination Analysis,
    • Computational Geometry.
    The symposium will consist of invited talks given by both established and junior scientists.

    COMPUTING 2011 will be co-located with Deduktionstreffen 2011.

    HWMCC'11 follows HWMCC'07, HWMCC'08, and HWMCC'10 as the fourth competitive event for hardware model checkers. It is affiliated to FMCAD'11, October 30 - November 2, Austin, TX, USA.

    Our goal is to keep up the driving force in improving model checkers. We also want to motivate implementors to present their work to a broader audience. Last but not least the competition collects realistic benchmarks and makes them available.Researchers from both academia and industry are invited to submit solvers and benchmarks. In the competition all entrants have to solve a set of benchmark instances in AIGER format. For this year we plan to check models with multiple properties and will also have some first experience with liveness properties.

    Benchmarks in reasonable formats (AIGER,SMV,BLIF etc.) can be submitted any time.

    Please send intentions to submit a model checker and/or first versions by the end of September to Armin Biere. Final versions of model checkers due at the end of first week of October: October 8

Topics include (1) the theory of Abstraction, Reformulation, and Approximation, (2) methods for selecting which of several applicable ARA techniques is best for a given problem, (3) techniques for automatically constructing and selecting appropriate abstractions, reformulations, and approximations, (4) empirical and theoretical studies of the costs and benefits of ARA, and (5) applications of ARA to automated reasoning, automatic programming, cognitive modeling, constraint programming, constraint satisfaction, databases, design, diagnosis, general game playing, general problem solving, machine learning, planning, robotics, scheduling, search, simulation, theorem proving. Program The Symposium will consist of paper presentations, discussion sessions, and invited presentations. This year, our keynote speaker will be Stuart Russell from the University of California at Berkeley. Registration To register for the symposium, send an email message to the program chairs. You can also register on site, but the organizers would prefer an early email message in order to prepare the logistics for the symposium.

    JELIA 2010 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
    =================================
    
    12th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence
    Helsinki, Finland, September 13-15, 2010
    http://jelia2010.tkk.fi/
    
    Logics provide a formal basis and key descriptive notation for the study
    and development of applications and systems in Artificial Intelligence
    (AI).  With the depth and maturity of formalisms, methodologies, and
    systems today, such logics are increasingly important. The European
    Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence (or Journées Européennes
    sur la Logique en Intelligence Artificielle --- JELIA) began back in
    1988, as a workshop, in response to the need for a European forum for
    the discussion of emerging work in this field. Since then, JELIA has
    been organized biennially, with English as the official language, and
    with proceedings published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in
    Artificial Intelligence series. In 2010 the conference is organized for
    the first time in Scandinavia, following previous meetings mainly taking
    place in Central and Southern Europe (see the general website
    http://www.jelia.eu/ for details). The increasing interest in this
    forum, its international level with growing participation from
    researchers outside Europe, and the overall technical quality, has
    turned JELIA into a major biennial forum for the discussion of
    logic-based approaches to AI.
    
    Registration and Travel Information
    ===================================
    
    Registration as well as travel and accommodation information is
    available on JELIA 2010 web pages http://jelia2010.tkk.fi/

    Venue
    =====
    
    The conference will be held in the main building of University of
    Helsinki, located in the center of Helsinki. Founded in 1550, Helsinki
    has been the Finnish capital since 1812, when it was rebuilt in the
    Empire style by the orders of the Czar of Russia, hence sharing
    architectural similarities with St. Petersburg even today. Located on
    the Baltic peninsula centrally between the east and the west, Helsinki
    "the Daughter of the Baltic" is a city full of contrasts: light and
    white in summer while dark but full of warmth in winter, with a
    combination of high-tech, contemporary design, and ever-present nature.
    Finnish design has made Helsinki world famous, and recently Helsinki
    was appointed World Design Capital 2012.

    The fifth competition of pseudo-Boolean solvers is organized as a special event of the SAT 2010 conference. Like the previous evaluations and competitions, the goal is to assess the state of the art in the field of pseudo-Boolean solvers.

    The 2010 competition is very similar to the 2009 edition, with 2 exceptions:

    • non linear objective functions are allowed
    • a special track and a new format are dedicated to maximum satisfiability and weighted max-satisfiability on PB constraints

    We encourage you to submit solvers and/or benchmarks to the competition by May 9.

    All details are available on the competition web site:
