OVERLAY 2024
28th – 29th November, 2024
Bolzano, Italy
https://overlay.uniud.it/workshop/2024
The increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence techniques in safety-critical systems, employed in real world scenarios, requires the design of reliable, robust, and verifiable methodologies. Artificial Intelligence systems employed in such applications need to provide formal guarantees about their safety, increasing the need for a close interaction between the Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods scientific communities, and possibly leading to the proposal of novel neurosymbolic approaches.
To witness this increasing need, tools and methodologies integrating Formal Methods and Artificial Intelligence, and more broadly symbolic and sub-symbolic solutions, are getting more and more attention, especially considering the wide-range and pervasive applications of machine and deep learning models.
The workshop is the main official initiative supported by the OVERLAY group. The event aims at establishing a stable, long-term scientific forum on relevant topics connected to the relationships between Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods, by providing a stimulating environment where researchers can discuss opportunities and challenges at the border of the two areas.
Important goals of the workshop are (i) to encourage the ongoing interaction between the formal methods and artificial intelligence communities, (ii) to identify innovative tools and methodologies, and (iii) to elicit a discussion on open issues and new challenges.
This year’s edition will be held on November 28th and 29th, 2024, in Bolzano, Italy.
*** Invited speaker ***
Andrea Micheli, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy
*** Call for contributions ***
We accept extended abstracts (5 pages + references) focusing on the interaction between Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods and on the issue of symbolic/sub-symbolic integration. Invited talks will complement the presentations of contributed papers.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- automata theory
- automated reasoning
- automated planning and scheduling
- controller synthesis
- formal specification languages
- formal verification
- game theory
- hybrid and discrete systems
- logics in computer science
- neuro-symbolic approaches
- logics for neural networks
- neural networks for logic
- reactive synthesis
- runtime verification and monitoring
- satisfiability modulo theories and theorem proving
- specification and verification of machine/deep learning systems
- tools and applications
Contributed papers can present recent results at the border of the two fields, new research directions, challenges and perspectives. Presentation of results recently published in other scientific journals or conferences is also welcome.
We plan to include all papers in the Proceedings of the event, published at CEUR Workshop Proceedings. CEUR WS proceedings are archival proceedings indexed by DBLP and Scopus.
Submitted papers should not exceed five (5) pages plus references. Authors are asked to use the Overlay-specific CEURART LaTeX style, available on the website. Authors of accepted papers will have the possibility to extend their submissions for the final camera-ready version to eight (8) pages plus references.
Submissions must be in PDF format and will be handled via the EasyChair Conference system at the following address: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=overlay2024.
