********AWPL CALL FOR PAPERS: Deadline Extended to June 10, 2018**********
The 4th Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL), 20-21 October, 2018, Beijing
Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL) is an event-series initiated by a group of Asian logicians, and in 2012 the first installment took place at the JAIST in Japan. It is devoted to promote awareness, understanding, and collaborations among researchers in philosophical logic and related fields. The workshop emphasizes the interplay of philosophical ideas and formal theories. Topics of interest include non-classical logics, philosophical logics, algebraic logics, and their applications in computer science, cognitive science, and social sciences. The second and third workshop took place successfully in Guangzhou (2014) and Taipei (2016), respectively. And the two post conference proceedings were published in the Studia Logica book series “Logic in Asia” (http://www.springer.com/series/13080?detailsPage=titles <http://www.springer.com/series/13080?detailsPage=titles>) with Springer.
The Fourth Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL 2018) will be held in Beijing, China, on 20-21 October 2018, organized by the Tsinghua-UvA Joint Research Centre for Logic at Tsinghua University.

Tutorial Title:
Relational Programming in miniKanren: an Interactive Tutorial
Abstract:
Relational Programming is a paradigm in which programs represent mathematical relations (in contrast to functional programming, in which programs represent mathematical functions). Unlike traditional programs, relational programs do not distinguish between inputs and outputs. Instead, *any* argument to a relational program can be treated as either an input or an output. This unusual property makes relational programs extremely flexible, and able to automatically perform tasks that would be complicated to implement using standard techniques. For example, an interpreter written as a relation is able to perform *program synthesis*, automatically generating programs from input/output examples.
In this in-depth, interactive, two day tutorial, we will explore the world of relational programming using miniKanren, a language specifically designed for writing interesting programs as relations. Together we will implement the core of the miniKanren relational programming language. We will also implement an interpreter for a subset of Racket, written as a miniKanren relation. We will then use this "relational interpreter" to perform simple program synthesis, and discuss techniques that can speed up synthesis by many orders of magnitude.
The tutorial will be highly interactive. We will implement all the code together, using the Racket programming language (a variant of Scheme). We will begin with a short introduction to basics of the Racket language, which can be learned in a few minutes. If you would like to implement all the code yourself, please bring a laptop with DrRacket installed (https://racket-lang.org/). If you don't want to implement the code yourself, you can participate by helping me as I write the code at the projector! :)
Topics we will cover in the tutorial:
* fundamental concepts of relational programming
* a brief introduction to the Racket programming language
* introduction to the miniKanren relational programming language
* writing recursive relations in miniKanren
* writing a simple Racket interpreter as a function in Racket
* writing a simple Racket interpreter as a relation in miniKanren
* using the relational Racket interpreter to perform simple program synthesis
* optimizations and extensions to the relational Racket interpreter
* implementing the core of miniKanren (microKanren)
* open research problems in relational programming
* lots of other interesting related topics

Title: A unified framework for notions of algebraic theory
Abstract:
Universal algebra uniformly captures various algebraic structures, by
expressing them as equational theories or (abstract) clones. The
ubiquity of algebraic structures in mathematics has also given rise to
several variants of universal algebra, such as symmetric and
non-symmetric operads, clubs, and monads. In this talk, I will present
a unified framework for these cousins of universal algebra, or notions
of algebraic theory.
First I will explain how each notion of algebraic theory can be
identified with a certain monoidal category, in such a way that
theories correspond to monoids. Then I will introduce a categorical
structure underlying the definition of models of theories. In specific
examples, it often arises in the form of oplax action or enrichment.
Finally I will uniformly characterize categories of models for various
notions of algebraic theory, by a double-categorical universal
property in the pseudo-double category of profunctors.

Decomposition-Based Approach for Model-Based Test Generation
Model-based test generation by model checking is a well-known testing
technique that, however, suffers from the state explosion problem of
model checking and it is, therefore, not always applicable. In this
talk, I present an approach that addresses this issue by decomposing a
system model into suitable subsystem models separately analyzable. The
technique consists in decomposing that portion of a system model that
is of interest for a given testing requirement, into a tree of
subsystems by exploiting information on model variable dependency. The
technique generates tests for the whole system model by merging tests
built from those subsystems. Effectiveness and efficiency of the
proposed decomposition-based test generation approach are measured
both in terms of coverage and time.
