WINNERS OF THE 2018 ALONZO CHURCH AWARD
* The 2018 Alonzo Church Award for Outstanding Contributions to Logic
and Computation is given jointly to Tomas Feder and Moshe Y. Vardi
for fundamental contributions to the computational complexity of
constraint-satisfaction problems. Their contributions appeared in
two papers:
1. Tomas Feder, Moshe Y. Vardi: Monotone Monadic SNP and Constraint
Satisfaction. STOC 1993, 612-622.
2. Tomas Feder, Moshe Y. Vardi: The Computational Structure of
Monotone Monadic SNP and Constraint Satisfaction: A Study through
Datalog and Group Theory. SIAM J. Comput. 28(1), 57-104 (1998).
* CONTRIBUTION SUMMARY: The Feder-Vardi project aimed at finding a
large subclass of NP that exhibits a dichotomy (all problems are
either in PTIME or NP-complete). The approach is to find this
subclass via syntactic prescriptions. The paper identified a class
of problems specified by "monotone monadic SNP without inequality",
which may exhibit this dichotomy. Feder and Vardi justified placing
all three restrictions by showing, using Ladner's theorem, that
classes obtained by using only two of the above three restrictions
do not show this dichotomy. They then explored the structure of this
class. They show that all problems in this class reduce to the
seemingly simpler class CSP -- Constraint Satisfaction Problems. They
divided CSP into subclasses and tried to unify the collection of all
known polytime algorithms for CSP problems and extract properties
that make CSP problems NP-hard. They conjectured that the class CSP
(and therefore, also MMSNP) also satisfy the dichotomy
property. This became known as the Feder-Vardi Dichotomy
Conjecture. The Dichotomy Conjecture stimulated an extensive
research program, which culminated in 2017 in two independent
proofs, by A. Bulatov and by D. Zhuk, of its correctness.
THE 2018 FEDERATED LOGIC CONFERENCE (FLoC 2018)
Joint Call for Papers
6-19 July 2018

* In 1996, as part of its Special Year on Logic and Algorithms, DIMACS
hosted the first Federated Logic Conference (FLoC). It was modelled
after the successful Federated Computer Research Conference (FCRC),
and synergetically brought together conferences that apply logic to
computer science.
* The seventh Federated Logic Conference (FLoC'18) will be held in
Oxford, UK, in July 2018, at the Mathematical Institute and the
Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford. FLoC
2018 brings together nine major international conferences related to
mathematical logic and computer science:

It is possible to join SIGLOG without joining ACM (the SIGLOG
membership fee is $25 and $15 for students).
EATCS Bulletin - Call for abstracts
* EATCS Bulletin, http://eatcs.org/index.php/eatcs-bulletin, has a
section for "Technical contributions." To stimulate this section
further, we have recently started publication abstracts of works
that have been accepted by journals and/or conferences or have
appeared in major archives. The topics of interest include all
areas of theoretical computer science (for instance, see topics of
the three Tracks of ICALP,
http://www.easyconferences.eu/icalp2016/cfp.html).
* Abstracts should be rather detailed, 2-3 pages long in the format
given at http://eatcs.org/index.php/eatcs-bulletin. Submissions
should include the information on the full paper (the name of
conferences, archives, etc) and sufficiently detailed explanation of
its merits, e.g., importance, motivations, clear comparison with
existing results and novelty and/or new ideas of proof techniques.
* The Bulletin is published in Feb, Jun and Oct. The deadline for the
abstract submission is 15th of the previous month, for instance, Jan
15, 2018 for the Feb issue of 2018. All materials including tex and
pdf files should be sent electrically to bulle...@eatcs.org and
iw...@kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp. Acceptance/rejection, decided based on
its merit mentioned above, will be notified as soon as possible.
The Bulletin will not require copy-right transfer for accepted
abstracts.

language. It is open to all topics concerning higher-dimensional
generalizations and applications of rewriting theory, including
- higher-dimensional rewriting: extensions of rewriting theory to
higher-dimensional settings (operads, opetopes,
polygraphs/computads, parity complexes, augmented directed
complexes, etc.), generalizations of string/term/graph rewriting
systems, etc.
- higher categorical structures: weakening, combination and
comparison of categorical structures (monoids, bialgebras, Frobenius
algebras, Lie algebras, etc.), coherence theorems, etc.
- applications of rewriting to algebraic topology: construction of
resolutions, homotopical and homological invariants, linear
rewriting (Gröbner bases, applications to algebras and operads),
Koszul duality theory, etc.
- applications and interactions with other fields: calculi for
quantum computations, proof nets, algebraic lambda-calculi,
topological models for concurrency, homotopy type theory,
combinatorial group theory, etc.
- implementations: the workshop will also be interested in
implementation issues in higher-dimensional rewriting and will allow
demonstrations of prototypes of existing and new tools in
higher-dimensional rewriting.

* The 1st International Summer School for Proof Theory in Ghent is
arranged under the auspices of The Proof Society, and is sponsored
by the Kurt Gödel Society. The Proof Society has recently been
formed to support the notion of proof in its broadest sense, through
a series of suitable activities; to be therefore inclusive in
reaching out to all scientific areas which consider proof as an
object in their studies; to enable the community to shape its future
by identifying, formulating and communicating its most important
goals; to actively promote proof to increase its visibility and
representation.
* The aim of the summer school is to cover basic and advanced topics
in proof theory. The focus of the first edition will be on
structural proof theory, ordinal analysis, provability logic,
automated theorem proving, and philosophical aspects of proof.
Other areas like reverse mathematics, proof mining, and proof
complexity will be covered at the workshop, and in follow up summer
schools. The intended audience is advanced master students, PhD
students, postdocs and experienced researchers in mathematics,
computer science and philosophy. The summer school is co-located
with a workshop on proof theory in Ghent (6-7 September). The
workshop will be the inaugural meeting of The Proof
Society. Students are invited to apply with an informal abstract (1
page) to the poster session which will be held as part of the
workshop.
* SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME: The summer school will provide six courses:
Cut Elimination by Matthias Baaz (TU Wien)
Ordinals and their applications by Andreas Weiermann (Ghent
University)
Philosophy of Proof Theory by Carlo Nicolai (King's College London)
