UK-Russia Workshop on AI for Software Engineering

September 9-12, 2019
York, UK
https://aise.research.jetbrains.org/

Registration deadline: May 26, 2019

This workshop will bring together AI and SE researchers from the UK and Russia (and potentially other countries) to discuss applications of AI to SE, specifically ML and NLP, and develop future directions of research in this emerging area. Application examples include program analysis (e.g. extracting knowledge from documentation, code reuse), prediction (e.g. finding defects, predicting development time and cost), synthesis and generation (e.g. smart code completion), and transformation (e.g. software remodularization, automated bug fixes).

To date, there are first successes in AI for SE, but much more can be achieved. Progress is slowed by the lack of researchers with expertise in both areas. Bringing together AI and SE researchers will be instrumental in moving this research forward. The four-day workshop will feature tutorials and keynote lectures, but most of the time will be dedicated to networking and creation of new collaborative projects.

Workshop on Algebraic Complexity Theory

March 25-29, 2019

2018 Capital Area Theory Day

November 16, 2018
Healey Family Student Center, Georgetown University, Washington, DC http://people.cs.georgetown.edu/jthaler/CATD.html

The Computer Science Department at Georgetown University is organizing the 2018 iteration of Capital Area Theory Day on November 16, 2018. We anticipate a lively day of talks and discussions on a range of topics in theoretical computer science. The event will be free to attend, but registration is requested.

SoCal DB Day 2018

October 19, 2018
SDSC Auditorium, UC San Diego, La Jolla, CA
https://sites.google.com/eng.ucsd.edu/socaldb18/home?authuser=1

Registration deadline: September 12, 2018

This is a one-day workshop-style event to bring together academic DB/data management researchers in SoCal and DB-related companies in CA. The goal is to connect students with relevant technical folks in industry and to foster a closer community of SoCal DB researchers and aficionados. The topics of interest include all aspects of databases and data management–theory, algorithms, systems, hardware, HCI aspects, and DB-backed applications–as well as intersections with other fields. The program will include a few invited talks from academia and industry, lightning talks from industry, research updates from academic DB groups, and poster presentations by students. Attendance is free for all academics (faculty, students, and staff). We already have confirmations of participation from the academic DB groups of UCI, UCLA, UCR, UCSB, and USC, as well as from many companies.

Workshop on Theoretical Computer Science and Algebraic Geometry

January 14-18, 2019
Saarbrücken, Germany
http://people.mpi-inf.mpg.de/~cikenmey/tcsag/

Registration deadline: December 14, 2018

This workshop brings together experts from theoretical computer science and algebraic geometry to discuss the relations between the fields from different perspectives. The goal is to lay the foundations for new interdisciplinary collaborations.

Theory and Practice of Differential Privacy Workshop

October 15, 2018
Toronto, Canad
https://tpdp.cse.buffalo.edu/2018/

Submission deadline: July 20, 2018

TPDP is a workshop on differential privacy which will be collocated with CCS 18 in Toronto. Differential privacy is a promising approach to privacy-preserving data analysis providing strong worst-case guarantees about the harm that a user could suffer from participating in a the data analysis. Researchers in differential privacy span many distinct research communities, and this workshop will bring researchers from these communities together to discuss recent developments in both the theory and practice of differential privacy. Authors are invited to submit a short abstract (2-4 pages maximum) of their work. Submission should describe novel works or works that have already appeared elsewhere but that can stimulate discussions. Accepted abstracts will be presented at the workshop either in technical sessions or as posters. The workshop will not have formal proceedings and is not intended to preclude later publication at another venue.
