Aims and Scope
Formal methods emphasize the use of mathematical techniques and rigour
for developing software and hardware. They can be used to specify,
verify, and analyse systems at any stage in their life cycle:
requirements engineering, modeling, design, architecture,
implementation, testing, maintenance and evolution. This assumes on
one hand the development of adequate mathematical methods and
frameworks and on the other hand the development of tools that help
the user effectively apply these methods/frameworks.
FROM 2018 is organized by the Faculty of Computer Science at the
Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Iasi, The Research Institute of the
University of Bucharest (ICUB), and the Faculty of Mathematics and
Computer Science at the University of Bucharest. FROM 2018 is the
second event in a a yearly workshop series. The first edition was held
in 2017 in Bucharest (see http://unibuc.ro/~conference/from2017) and
it included sixteen invited talks, delivered by top researchers in
field, and seven contributed talks. Starting with the current edition,
the goal is to increase the weight of the contributed talks.
The Working Formal Methods Symposium (FROM) aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners who work on formal methods by
contributing new theoretical results, methods, techniques, and
frameworks, and/or make the formal methods to work by creating or
using software tools that apply theoretical contributions.
PhD Students are highly encouraged to participate and support for
accommodation might be available upon request.
The program of the symposium will include invited lectures and regular

CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd International Workshop on Microservices: Science and Engineering - MSE
2018
June 25, 2018
ENSEEIHT – IRIT, Toulouse Cedex - France
http://mse-staf18.fbk.eu/
=======================================================================
AIMS AND MOTIVATION
This workshop aims at bringing together contributions by scientists and
practitioners to shed light on the development of scientific concepts,
technologies, engineering techniques and tools for a service-based society.
In particular, the focus is on Microservices, i.e., the use of services
beyond the traditional cross-organizational B2B approach and the
implementation of the model inside of applications, scaling in the small
the concepts previously seen in the large. In Microservices, each component
of a software is a service with the related issues of scalability and
distribution of responsibility.
Topics of interest include (but not limited to):
- Design and implementation of Service-oriented Architectures and
Microservices
- Software engineering techniques for Microservices
- Requirements Engineering for Microservices
- Model-Driven Engineering for Microservices
- Security in Microservices
- Formal models and analyses of Microservice systems
- Validation and Verification techniques for Microservices
- Coordination models for Microservices
- Empirical studies on services and Microservices
- Programming languages for Microservices
- Static analysis of Microservices
- Testing of Microservice systems
- Migration to Microservices
- Adaptation and Evolution of Microservices
SCOPE
This workshop constitutes a forum for scientists and engineers in academia
and industry to present and discuss their latest ongoing research as well
as radical new research directions that represent challenging innovations,
which can advance the status quo and the understanding in the Microservices
area and its applications, in particular in the IoT and IoS where the
scaling in the small approach is of major importance. We believe that STAF
attendees might be interested in attending this workshop because of the
relevance of its themes and goals to the Software Engineering (SE) and
Formal Methods (FM). Also, industry partners and mobile developers are
particularly welcome, thanks to their more practical approach, hopefully
bringing some real scenario examples.

WPDM 2018
The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018)
http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2018/
CALL FOR PAPERS
As part of The 18th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2018), http://www.iccsa.org
July 2 - 5 2018, Melbourne, Australia
Submission Deadline: April 9, 2018
SPECIAL ISSUE
Selected extended versions of workshop papers will be invited to a Special Issue to appear in the Algorithms journal (see http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Parallel_Distributed_…)
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics.
The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP
- Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators
- Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA
- Distributed data mining algorithms
- Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications
- Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining
- Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware
- Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining
- Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining

Special session - Hybrid Life: Approaches to integrate biological, artificial and cognitive systems
https://sites.google.com/view/hybrid-life/ <https://sites.google.com/view/hybrid-life/>
2018 Artificial Life conference (ALife)
Tokyo, JAPAN, 23-27 July 2018 - http://2018.alife.org/ <http://2018.alife.org/>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION:
The main focus of ALife research is the study of natural systems with the goal of understanding what life is. More concretely, ALife defines ways to investigate processes that contribute to the formation and proliferation of living organisms. In this session we focus on three common approaches to tackle this investigation, proposing ways to integrate, extend and possibly improve them. More specifically we refer to: 1) the formalisation of the necessary properties for the definition of life, 2) the implementation of artificial agents, and 3) the study of the relation between life and cognition.
For this special session we propose to start from these well-established Alife methodologies, and extend them through:
a unified formal language for the description and modelling of living, as well as artificial and cognitive systems, e.g. control theory, Bayesian inference, dynamical systems theory, etc.,
the exploration of biological creatures enhanced by artificial systems (or artificial systems augmented with organic parts) in order to investigate the boundaries between living and nonliving organisms, and
the evaluation of coupled biological-artificial systems that could shed light on the importance of interactions among systems for the study of living and cognitive organisms.
This special sessions aims to invite contributions from the fields of psychology, computational neuroscience, HCI, theoretical biology, artificial intelligence, robotics and cognitive science to discuss current research on the formalisation, combination and interaction of artificial/living/cognitive systems from theoretical, modelling and implementational perspectives.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
Formalisation of life and cognition (e.g. dynamical systems theory, stochastic optimal control, Bayesian inference, etc.)
Cognitive robotics
Autopoiesis
Life-mind continuity thesis
Systems biology
Origins-of-life theories with relationships to artificial and cognitive systems
Animal-robot interaction
Bio-inspired robotics
Bio-integrated robotics
Human-machine interaction
Augmented cognition
Sensory substitution
Interactive evolutionary computation
Artificial perception

The BI'18 will provide a broad forum that academia, professionals
and industry people can exchange their ideas, findings, and strategies
in brain informatics research and brain-inspired concepts and
technologies. It welcomes emerging technologies for addressing
fundamental neurobiological questions about healthy brain function,
laying the groundwork for advancing treatments for brain disorders
or injury, and for generating brain-inspired "smart" artificial
intelligence and computing technologies to meet future societal needs.
It will educate and expand the brain informatics workforce and create
new career opportunities for brain research and related innovations.
The BI'18 welcomes paper submissions (full paper and abstract
submissions). Both research and application papers are solicited. All
submitted papers will be peer-reviewed on the basis of technical quality,
relevance, significance and clarity. Accepted full papers will be

TYPE-II (Abstract Submissions):
Abstracts have a word limit of 500 words. Experimental research is
particularly welcome. Accepted abstract submissions will be included
in the conference program, and will be published as a single,
collective proceedings volume.
Title: Include in the title of the abstract all words critical for a
subject index. Write your title in sentence case (first letter is
capitalized; remaining letters are lower case). Do not bold or
italicize your full title.
Author: List all authors who contributed to the work discussed in the
abstract. The presenting author must be listed in the first author
slot of the list. Be prepared to submit contact information as well as
conflict of interest information for each author listed.
Abstract: Enter the body of the abstract and attach any applicable
graphic files or tables here. Do not re-enter the title, author,
support, or other information that is collected in other steps of the
submission form.
Presentation Preference: Authors may select from three presentation
formats when submitting an abstract: "poster only", "talk preferred"
or "no preference". The "talk preferred" selection indicates that you
would like to give a talk, but will accept a poster format if
necessary. Marking "poster only" indicates that you would not like to
be considered for an oral-presentation session. Selecting "no
preference" indicates the author's willingness to be placed in the
best format for the program.
Each paper or abstract requires one sponsoring attendee (i.e. someone
who registered and is attending the conference). A single attendee
can not sponsor more than two abstracts or papers.
Oral presentations will be selected from both full length papers and
abstracts.
*** Post-Conference Journal Publications ***
The Brain Informatics conferences have the formal ties with the Open Access
Brain Informatics journal (Springer-Nature, http://www.springer.com/40708).
Accepted full papers will be selected to publish in the Open Access
Brain Informatics Journal upon revision. No article-processing fee will
be charged for authors of Brain Informatics conference.
*** Awards ***
Best Paper awards will be conferred at the conference on the authors
of (1) the best research paper and (2) the best student paper.
