Virtual meeting: “Workshop on Randomness and Analysis of Algorithms ( RAPA2 )“, which is a STIC AMSUD project involving SINFIN members. The meeting has been held on December 10th and 11th in the morning for the South Americans and in the afternoon for the French partners.

STIC-Amsud project “Qapla’ – Quantum Aspects of Programming Languages”. Director: Alejandro Díaz-Caro (UNQ & ICC (UBA/CONICET)).
Local directors: Gilles Dowek (Inria, LSV. Paris Saclay, France)
Simon Perdrix (CNRS, Loria, France)
Federico Olmedo (UChile, Chile)
Octavio Malherbe (UdelaR, Uruguay).
Period: 2021-2023.

On November 26, 2020, a workshop from the STALGRAPH MathAmSud project (involving several SINFIN members) will take place online.

Diego Figueira, Santiago Figueira, and Edwin Pin Baque got their paper Finite Controllability for Ontology-Mediated Query Answering of CRPQ accepted at the 17th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR’2020), to be held at Rhodes, Greece, on September 12-18, 2020.

The volume 281 of Discrete Applied Mathematics, containing a special issue dedicated to LAGOS’17: IX Latin and American Algorithms, Graphs and Optimization Symposium, C.I.R.M., Marseille, France – 2017, has appeared online. It has been edited by Frédérique Bassino, Flavia Bonomo-Braberman, Lionel Pournin, and Mario Valencia-Pabon.

The team, LoReL will start a weekly seminar, and, given the current situation, it will be online, so it is open to everyone who wish to attend.

It starts on June 4 with a talk by Pablo Barenbaum (see details at LoReL webpage). The seminars will be every Thursday at 2pm (Argentina local time). Here is a Google calendar, which currently only have Pablo’s talk until we confirm others.

The topics at LoReL are logics, rewriting, lambda calculus, type theor,y and models, which match some of the topics of the SINFIN’s LDPL team.

Eda Cesaratto and Brigitte Vallée “Gaussian behavior of quadratic irrationals” was accepted for publication at Acta Arithmetica. Preprint at arXiv:1708.00051.

Bartosz Bednarczyk, Stéphane Demri, Raúl Fervari, and Alessio Mansutti. “Modal Logics with Composition on Finite Forests: Expressivity and
Complexity”, accepted at 35th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS 2020).

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all trips have been suspended until further notice.
