OVERLAY 2023

6th - 9th November, 2023 (the precise day(s) will be announced later)

Rome, Italy

Co-located with AIxIA 2023

*********** *********** ***********


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 
(https://overlay.uniud.it). 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 edition will be held between 6th and 9th November 2023 (the precise 
day(s) will be announced later), as a hybrid workshop co-located with AIxIA 
2023 (http://www.aixia2023.cnr.it/), which is scheduled to be held in Rome, 
Italy.


Participants must be registered to AIxIA 2023 (http://www.aixia2023.cnr.it/). 
Overlay does not have an additional specific fee.


*** Invited speaker ***


Luciano Serafini - Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Italy


*** Call for contributions ***


We accept extended abstracts (4 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

    neurosymbolic approaches

    logic 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 four (4) pages plus references. Authors are 
asked to use CEUR's LaTeX style, available at 
https://overlay.uniud.it/workshop/2023/CEURART.zip.


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=overlay2023.
